File this one under random beauty. Or weirdly strange. Or just plain totally awesome and hilarious. Definitely non-tennis, but Rafael Nadal’s reaction to this buzzing, swirling fly during his press conference after his Day 5 victory over Dudi Sela was priceless. Nadal shows the wonderment of a child in what is perhaps the most adorable six-second video of a fully grown tennis assassin ever made (see Vine below).
As was this “killing forehand,” which was struck off the back foot and on the backpedal and into the open court by Nadal. The Spaniard may not be in peak form yet, but if he keeps muscling forehands from the back court like this, his opponents better be concerned.
