  • @ppsecurito it is rafa, the place is bastad, sweden ... i was there and he played like that :)

  • here you can see the contact point was more similar to that of the modern federer. nadal tends to hit the ball a bit further back now.

  • Wow this must be old, he's wearing shorts not man capris!

  • I even know where this is.. Båstad, Sweden many many years ago, maybe even 7 years old..

  • @TheIKrushalot nadal and verdasco have the same exact forehand technique the only difference is verdasco holds it a bit higher on the handle and nadals current forehand is just a little more evolved from this form

  • That windup seriously looks like verdasco's :S...i think that might be verdasco lol

  • nice editting (sorry if it is mispelled)

  • wowowowowowwowow

    SO DIFFERENT!

    now i see why nadal is having trouble with players he never had any trouble with before!

    his forehand windup has changed dramatically! he had a beautiful, long windup, nowadays its so short and cramped, almost like roddicks backhand!

  • @txchou

    are you sure 2006?- in 2006 his backswing was not as long as in this video!- i think it was earlier

  • @ppsecurito It is rafa. Go look up more vids when he was 18. He used to hit FLAT as crap like you see in this video. There's a video of him 17 against Hewitt somewhere on youtube. Look it up.
