Nadal impresses everyone: "What a fucking competitor".

Nadal impresses everyone: What a fucking competitor.

Rafael Nadal has no limits. On his return to competition on Friday, he spent almost 4 hours on court to finally qualify for the semi-finals of the ATP 250 in Bastad.

After two quiet matches, 'Rafa' went through all kinds of emotions against Navone, but showed insane mental and physical solidity to win (6-7, 7-5, 7-5 in 3h59).

Our colleague, journalist and tennis expert Carole Bouchard, was equally impressed: "Rafa fought for 4 hours in Bastad... It was crazy. God, I hope he doesn't pay for that later. What a fucking competitor."
