Rafael Nadal has now won 18 Grand Slam titles, and Nike has dedicated a commercial to this extraordinary and legendary player. After it did not play quite so tingling on its own, some comrades of Nadal were also shown in that one minute. Grigor Dimitrov, Juan Martin del Potro or the great Andre Agassi (against Nadal in his later creative phase, at least played and won twice). All players who also carry the brand to the market with the Swoosh.
However, Roger Federer is not part of the game - who, if the memory is not deceptive, has won all of his 20 majors in Nike clothes. And who still plays in the shoes of the US manufacturer even after moving to Uniqlo. But here the legal situation was a little tricky.
Apropos: The fact that Pascal Maria gives the umpire in the spot is not without a certain irony either. Rafael Nadal always had big problems with the French during his career.
