The legend of Rafa Nadal continues to grow until he decides when to stop. This Sunday he has devastated the Norwegian Casper Ruud in less than two and a half hours winning in three sets by 6-3, 6-3 and 6-0. The Mallorcan has left the locker room giving everything and psychologically competing against his rival even before going out on the track.
Some images from the official Roland Garros account before the match began show Nadal and Ruud minutes before going out on the court and in very different attitudes. While the Norwegian apparently calmly waits with his backpacks for the moment to go out to play, Nadal does not stop still from one side to the other making movements with the racket and with short runs in the small space of the room.
The images have spread like wildfire and the comments agree that the one from Manacor had already won the first points before going out to play. “He is already breaking up from the locker room”, “he takes a set from you from the locker room”, “here he won the match”, are the most repeated comments.
Despite the fact that the video was shared before the match and the comments were happening in the minutes that followed, finally the result proved the reason for the tweeters and Nadal easily beat Ruud, who did not get a single point in the third set.
