Watch: Nadal Scorches the Most Mind-Blowing Forehand of the Roland Garros Fortnight in Final



When we say Rafael Nadal was feeling it during his 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 victory over Stan Wawrinka on Sunday at Roland Garros, we aren’t being trivial. The Spaniard was FEELING IT, and if you don’t believe us, simply watch the video above to see what kind of magic was flying off Nadal’s strings.

Stretched out wide on the forehand side, Nadal wasn’t even in position to turn his head to track this shot. All he could do was put racquet to ball and let the thunderous applause from the Chatrier crowd inform him as to where this shot landed.
