Tennis players Alex de Miñaur and Casper Ruud participated in the latest episode of UTS Stars in which both players analyzed one of the great tennis players in history: the Spanish Rafa Nadal.
A De Minaur who dared to be one of the keys that can help Nadal beat on a tennis court.” He is so physical that I can only imagine him on a clay court. You have to lose all the respect you have for him and play as if he were another tennis player.”
For his part, Ruud, who has trained together with Nadal at the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar, highlighted Nadal’s cross-court backhand as one of his great weapons. “His cross-court backhand is very heavy, like a normal forehand in my eyes! The first time I had a fight with him I was like: ‘What the hell?’ His backhand on TV seems slow but it is very heavy, crazy.”
In fact, De Minaur dares to give a name in current tennis that, due to characteristics, is very similar to Nadal. “The comparison with Nadal now would be Sinner. His two-handed backhand is almost like a forehand because it gives a lot of force and rotation to the ball, and it is the same as if Nadal were on the other side of the court.”
