Nadal what do we think of this.?

Nadal is not lacking in physical charm. A straw poll as to his attributes conducted among his many Spanish flag-bedaubed admirers yielded but one response: "It's the arms, stupid."

Men fatally underestimate this region of their anatomy. It is not that they should look as steroid-pumped as our boy's, more that they should inspire some notion of what it would be like to be encircled within them. Young Rafael's have the air of being an extremely safe space indeed.

His favourite film is – whisper it – Gladiator – and there is a certain Maximus Decimus Meridius appeal to his on-court thuggery. With his tree-trunk legs and frying-pan grip, he is the personification of brute physical prowess. One has to be pretty damn fit to be crowned King of Clay – with all the dashing about that the surface requires – and Nadal has achieved this status with a barely contained machismo. Where other players gasp, he grunts, ripe with Neanderthal savagery. If Federer fences, Nadal annihilates,

    Bloody hell, people. Don't you read? The question is what do you think of this.

    Rafa is young, and yes, his arms are the first part of him we notice. It doesn't hurt that he's got a classical Spartan face comprised entirely of planes and angles. It doesn't hurt that he's such a winner either. Annihilates - well that's certainly what he did to Federer in the Roland Garros final. I think though that he is underestimated on grass - don't forget his numerous injuries that always pull him down - though I'm a diehard Federer fan I can't find it in me to hate the boyish Nadal with his disarming candour off-court. His arms do scream 'safe,' by the way. grunts are unattractive, but could be endearing sometimes.

    Nadal has an extraordinarily sturdy possibility of triumphing the Australian Open next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. at the beginning, his interest is on the utmost point of his entire profession, pretty considering he more advantageous his internet interest dramatically. Secondly, he's twiddling with the main self assurance ever now that he has 3 substantial titles in a row. a pair years in the past i'd have by no potential predicted him to win 4 in a row. yet, now he has proved that he's not purely stronger on clay, yet additionally on annoying court docket and grass. even with the undeniable fact that, pondering Federer's victory on the ATP international Championship, which Nadal considers in actuality as substantial as a substantial identify, Federer can actually take care of his identify if he keeps up his interest. i'd say Nadal's purely genuine opposition for next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days's identify is Federer.

    He certainly comes across as total man on court. What is even more amazing is the gentle and humble side he shows off court. That combination is a wow. the best thing about him though is his tennis. I dont know how long he will last at that exertion level but he will always be remembered as somone who gripped both the court and audience (fans and detractors alike) and sought perfection point after point.
