Video: Rafael Nadal's Top 5 French Open Matches

The King of Clay's return to red clay in Monte Carlo today felt like an international tennis holiday.

Roland Garros celebrates Rafael Nadal's return to the terre battue with this action-packed compilation video of the nine-time champion's best matches in Paris.

Rafa's Top 5 Roland Garros matches is a video scrapbook of Nadal's evolution as a player and a champion.

Watch opponent Nicolas Almagro's facial expression 44 seconds into the video after the young Rafa, wearing the capri shorts and sleeveless top, crunches a clean forehand return winner.

The swooping forehand swing volley winner Nadal hit to conclude his 2006 final victory over Roger Federer makes the cut (about 6:18 into the video).

Eye-popping court coverage and his lethal lefty forehand make Nadal the King of Clay. He showcases both assets whipping a running forehand bolt down the line against Novak Djokovic in the 2013 semifinals (about 7:04 into the video).

What's your favorite Nadal match from Roland Garros?
