Rafa Nadal practice (Rotterdam 2009) 2

[s900203]

This is how he should play against Djokovic, with low net clearance.

[ppsecurito]

ladies and gentlemans, the number one of the world!

i'd like to know why he doesn't play with this shot in the us open or another hard court tours...less than a second to cross the court. wow

[1992marshmallow]

it looks like nadal is just pounding the ball flat

[k66shogun]

They cannot continue the rally at all though it is a practice. It is different from Federer.

[juri7k]

my goodness it seems like they can hardly keep up with his pace. this is ridiculous, just pure relentless power, its like playing against a rubber wall - harder you hit harder it comes back

[tennisecu09]

Thats not Nadal u fucking idiots!

[mikro112]

@tennisecu09:

You obviously don't know much about tennis.

[ChaunceyDos]

Seen him practice at the US Open. His forehand is nasty. People think he's hitting moonballs but when he wants to, he's hitting ridiculous screamers that have a flat ball trajectory although it's rotating like crazy.

[hayxx045]

Wow, he is unbelievable something about this angle makes his hits seem so much more powerful than on tv

[365to173repubsPWNED]

how the fuck does he hit it so fuckin hard

[aznballa32]

hahaha i was just gonna say that

rafa looks like he is hitting way harder in this vid than the other vids

[jojonotami]

fuggin so good...

[puty100]

dutch players? Nadal is not dutch.. he is spanish.

[weboogert]

no, the other 2 players are dutch

[supertrex2]

now if I can just hit like that left and right in my local tournament club lol.

[acies92]

Im surprised nadal is hitting so low. He usually practices with gigantic net clearance

[bamibalboy]

@acies92 its the angle of the camera

[dave5566]

nadal is owning them LOL.. who r they ne way.. they pros or no?

[ReikoTube]

They are Dutch players - professional ones. The one on the right is Robin Haase who has been out for about 1 year now because of knee injury. The other one is Thiemo de Bakker who was a Junior WB champ/No.1 Junior.

[seasmia]

@ReikoTube can you explain why he doesn't do this in real matches?

[ReikoTube]

@seasmia no, I can't explain.

[laperdepaperhond312]

haase was no. 56 in the world in 2008

[toobart4u]

@dave5566

to the left, robin haasse to the right thiemo de bakker

[musicgamer10]

it looked sort of like they couldn't handle his pace

[pararesis]

@musicgamer10 these guys can definitely handle his pace... robin haase took nadal to 5 sets at Wimbledon 2010
