Rafael Nadal chases down a shot and smashes it down the line for the point. We've seen it a hundred times, and we've also seen what comes after the point: the fist pump.
It's a gesture that has been around for ages. Michael Jordan would pump his fist after a great dunk, Tiger famously pumps his fist and holds it after making a putt; it is one of the most recognizable celebrations...

World No. 3 Rafael Nadal will take on Frenchman Gael Monflis in the 4th round of the US Open tonight.
Nadal looked in good form in his last match against fellow Spaniard Nicolas Almagro, but he appeared to tear or strain his stomach muscle—an obvious concern ahead of his match with Monflis.
The duo has already played each other twice this year—Monflis won their encounter in...

The ‘Return of the Nadalian’ (anti-matter) is one of my favorite pieces, more so because I wrote a response to its first part. The core essence of it can be described with an oxymoron, ‘Objectively Endearing’
