5 Rafael Nadal superstitions the player is always seen doing

Jumping....everywhere!

It’s important – essential, rather, for a player to keep their momentum going through a match, whether or not they are up on their opponent. That said, Nadal hasn’t really been down against any opponent throughout the French Open – and it’s not hard to see why. In surreal form and fitness, Nadal would no doubt want to keep the power going, and he often listens to music before the match – as many players do – to keep himself pumped up and ready to fight.

Nadal, however, keeps that going on-court as well. Right after he walks out on court, Nadal will jog in place, then at the net when the coin toss is due to take place, and again facing spectators before the first service game of the match.
