Rafael Nadal has astounded the world with his performance this year. The Spaniard made things that seemed next to impossible, possible. He had a persisting foot injury, however; he did not let it hold him back.

Rafa dived head first into the championships and slams. And won two grand slam titles with the quest for a third going underway. Reilly Opelka also acknowledged that and made a comparison of Rafael Nadal with a hot-dog-eating champion.

Reilly Opelka makes an appreciative comparison with Nadal

American tennis player Reilly Opelka took to his Twitter to make the comparison of a tennis legend to a hot-dog-eating champion.

He stated, “Rafa French Open 2022 vibes. One foot and still gets it done, for the 15th time!” The champion has won the hot-dog-eating competition 14 times and is out there to defend his title for the 15th time.

Rafa, similarly, went on to win his 14th French Open title in 2022 despite getting bothered by his foot injury.
