Watch: Rafael Nadal Just Hit the Most Jaw-Dropping Smash You'll Ever See at Wimbledon

File under: things that make your jaw drop.

Also: how did he do that?

And: can this guy win Wimbledon?

Check out this amazing, athletic over-the-shoulder smash from Rafael Nadal during the second set of his first-round match with Dudi Sela of Israel on Day 2 of the Championships. It’s just a gentle reminder that while many like to label Nadal a “grinder” and a “baseliner” he is one of the greatest shotmakers to ever live.

Just look at how he snaps this ball while in full flight like a flying lawnmower tossed about in a storm but still resolutely focused on trimming Wimbledon’s lawns.
