Spain and Australia faced each other in a deadly match during the tournament. However, the feeling of delight on both Rafa and Stosur’s faces in the picture is a clear indication of their sportsmanship spirit. During the match, this was not the world no.2’s only fan-favorite moment caught on camera.

The “Dragon Ball of Tennis” is gearing up its momentum

Rafa’s United Cup this year started with his match against Britain’s Cameron Norrie. His second match was against Alex de Minaur. While the 38-year-old Stosur is having a great United Cup so far, Rafa did not have much luck in both of his matches.

Tennis enthusiasts and especially Nadal fans were disappointed with his performance in the tournament so far. Meanwhile, Rafa asks everyone to have faith. According to him, the United Cup is preparing him for his big games at the Australian Open 2023. He does not believe that his performance was “very negative” because there were moments when he did put in his best shot.
