Rafael Nadal kidding around before practice

Rafa in a very cheerful mood before his practice at the Cincinnati Masters 1000 tournament on Aug 19th 2009. The man he is joking around with is Benito Perez-Barbadillo, Rafa's PR agent.

So, was he pretending to give the racket to that fan, or was that a photographer?

[srae1971]

That was actually his PR guy Benito who often travels with him. He was acting like he wanted Benito to pull the plastic off the racquet the way the players often have ball kids do.

@srae1971 whats a PR?

[srae1971]

@ZawShin Public Relations. He represents Novak Djokovic, too.

I can't believe people don't get this. I had to rewind at first because I missed exactly what he was doing but once you see it you should know what's going on.

Who doesn't know Benito by now? He's the one that's not Toni, or Carlos...or Maymo... or Francisco... or Tuts... or Sebastian.  :)

[Eternalover78]

I think he was imitating Roger...

[iRuss876]

The funniest part is how hes so serious thought the whole thing nd then he just looses it and chuckles

[hieutiee]

@readmystupidcomments Haha easy on the plonking bro? Frankers? Schanpfafu? Hahahahaha

[bozsurfco]

@readmystupidcomments If you've ever watched tennis you would know that's not Uncle Toni. Also please learn to stop lying and use correct grammar.

[lg123xyz]

That guy just didn't grab it hard enough. When raffa hands him something to grab he must grab it tight and grab it hard.

[hieutiee]

@readmystupidcomments lol okay sure bud. but thats not uncle toni. don't get so mad on youtube. :)

[hieutiee]

@readmystupidcomments Guys, EVERYONE, STOP RESPONDING TO HIM, HENCE HIS NAME "READMYSTUPIDCOMMENTS" LOLOL

[tbird09100]

you know what i dont think he was trying to give the guy his raquet. i think he was trying to make that guy remove the bag over the raquet then he pulls it away because hes not that kind of guy that would be so arrogant to let him pull it off for him. im a die hard federer fan but u have to respect rafa for being who he is on and off the court. hes one of the very few celebrity athletes with that much respect and humbleness around the world.(of course federer being another one!)

[CBSparky9]

@readmystupidcomments go away you ugly british cunt, you havent played with Rafa you retard, probably only on your Ps3, you fucking retard

[maggybeee]

Naughty Rafa!

[uchilledfrance]

@readmystupidcomments Hayxx actually had it spot on. The guy Rafa was fooling around was Benito his PR guy who often travels with him on tours.

[cj397]

@readmystupidcomments this coming from a guy who said he played with rafa and "took a couple games off him" sure.

and that is not uncle toni.

toni was not at this tournament with rafa.

sorry

[cj397]

@readmystupidcomments yeah im sure you are, go outside, get off the computer.

[tehnotaznman]

@readmystupidcomments Yeah you so don't know him personally.

[ArjanK1206]

@readmystupidcomments sorry to say but u clearly dont if u think thats uncle toni...
