Rafael Nadal is a huge football fan and his skills in the game are rather well known to the wider community.
Rafael Nadal loves football and his skills in the game are so good that many tennis players have said he could have easily become a great football player if he really wanted to. Another tennis player proficient in football is Dominic Thiem with the Austrian famously saying Nadal was much better.
He has demonstrated his football skills numerous times during practices with tennis balls which requires a lot of skill. Doing these sort of tricks with a football is much easier due to its size. It's much more easier to balance and control so doing the same thing with a tennis ball that is 10x smaller is much harder and requires much more skill.
If you ever wondered how does that look like you are in luck because there is a video compilation of some of those skills posted by ATP's official YouTube channel. In the video you can see Nadal juggling the ball in various ways, dribbling it and even showing off at times. Check it out below.
