Two lads nail the Rafael Nadal vs Nick Kyrgios matchup
A tweet by Amazon Prime read, “These lads have got Rafael Nadal and Nick Kyrgios spot on.”
In the video, the boy portraying Rafael Nadal jumps exaggeratedly in his pre-match warm-up. His momentum even takes him over the net, leaving ‘Kyrgios’ stunned.
The two lads have acted perfectly in the video. The way Nadal celebrates and Kyrgios spits his frustration out has been beautifully portrayed. But there is one flaw in the video. The kid playing Nadla plays with his right hand while Nadal actually plays with his left hand. However, this small flaw has been largely overlooked.
