Video - Nadal Transcended: The Moment That Summed Up All the Magic of the 2018 Davis Cup
Against Germany in the 2018 Davis Cup, Nadal was not just a player: he was the symbol of a united team and a nation in full swing. A sequence of emotions that is part of the Majorcan's legend.
It is 2018, in the last year of the Davis Cup under its traditional format. Spain faces Germany in the quarterfinals on clay and can rely on its legendary No. 1: Rafael Nadal.
The man with 22 Grand Slam titles unsurprisingly won his two matches against Philipp Kohlschreiber and Alexander Zverev. However, Spain is challenged by the German team and will eventually secure its qualification in the decisive match on Sunday.
A weekend far from restful for Nadal, as he went through all the emotions on the Spanish bench and was ever generous with advice for his teammates.
