Guy is even using those small grunts he wants to destroy his cousin & make him never play tennis again - Tennis fans react to Rafael Nadal s practice session with uncle Toni s son

Rafael Nadal was practicing with his cousin Joan Nadal After withdrawing from the 2022 Wimbledon Championships (due to an abdominal injury) one day before his semifinal clash against Nick Kyrgios, is now gearing up for the US Open series. The Spaniard hasn't lost a single match at this year's Grand Slam tournaments, having won the Australian Open as well as Roland Garros. His sister Maribel Nadal recently took to social media to share a video in which the 36-year-old can be seen working hard on an indoor hard court at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Spain. The highlight of the video, however, is that the opponent is his uncle and former coach Toni Nadal's son Joan Nadal. Both men are seen hitting explosive forehands at each other, with the 22-time Grand Slam champion finally winning the point. Tennis fans had a few hilarious reactions to the short clip, commending Nadal for his fine movement but also expressing a soft spot for his cousin. "Guy is even using those small grunts, he wants to destroy his cousin and make him never play tennis again lmao," a user wrote.
