Wreck-It Rafa! - Nadal keeps up fine form against Mario
Rafael Nadal just cannot stop winning right now.
The world number one stormed to an 11th French Open title on Sunday, but less than 48 hours later he was enjoying another victory in a video posted on his Twitter page.
Tennis great Nadal appears in an advert for upcoming video game Mario Tennis Aces, posting a link alongside the quote: "Facing a new opponent. You might just recognise him…"
He takes on star protagonist Mario who, like Dominic Thiem, falls by the wayside, the change of surface seemingly not hindering the 'King of Clay', with the match - showing off features from the game - played on a hard court.
Nadal will hope for similar success on grass in the coming months...
