Spanish tennis ace proves golfliness

Here’s Rafael Nadal, undisputed king of the clay court, proving he also knows how to swing a driver with style. Rafa was competing in the pro-am of the Castello Masters Costa Azahar at the Club de Campo del Mediterraneo in Spain.

He was joined by Spain’s top bull fighter, the brilliantly named Enrique Ponce.

When asked to compare tennis and golf, Rafa said:

“Mentally I think both are very tough, because in golf you can’t have any mistake. But in golf you play very good shot you are going go birdie, no?

In tennis you do very good shot and you can lose the point. So I think on golf you play against yourself. In tennis you play little bit against yourself, but especially against opponent, so that’s difficult to compare for that reason. I prefer play golf, no, because all the time depends on you, no?”

No… er, yes. Whatever.

Hs is tennis; obviously, he could be golf too.
