"A calculator would take better pics than whatever this is": Rafael Nadal's photography skills taken to task by tennis fans, call his online presence bizarre
Fans on social media had their say about the photography
skills shown by the former world number one Rafael Nadal.
The 37-year-old recently posted a story on his official
Instagram account showcasing his photography skills. Fans made some hilarious comments
while evaluating the photography skills of Nadal where one even ended up
claiming that a calculator might end up taking a better picture.
The Spanish legendary tennis star is currently spending time
on the sidelines as he continues his recovery from a knee injury. It was
because of fitness concerns that Nadal could not take part in three out of the
four Grand Slams in 2023.
The Manacor-born is often regarded as one of the greatest players
in the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as
22 Grand Slam titles. His most successful competition remains the French Open
where he has lifted the title 14 times — 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011,
2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022.
It is also a record in the competition’s history. He is also
known as the ‘King of Clay’ because of his heroics while playing at the Roland
Garros. His last triumph at the highest level also came while playing in Paris
in 2022 where he defeated Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final with a score of 6–3,
6–3, 6–0.
