Filipino teen netter Miko Eala got a chance to be world No. 2 Rafael Nadal’s practice player on Wednesday, August 5.
Nadal, who is skipping the Grand Slam restart in the US Open, was seen practicing his forehand against Eala, who barely missed a shot during the session according to the Rafael Nadal Instagram fan account.
“HUUUUGE day for me yesterday, as I got to hit with Rafa Nadal! If you listen closely you can hear me grunting haha….ang bigat ng bola (the ball was so heavy),” wrote Eala as he reposted the video clip on Facebook.
Eala, 17, graduated from the Rafa Nadal Academy this year and and is slated to play in NCAA Division I school Penn State University in the upcoming fall semester.
The Filipino netter is the older brother of 2020 Australian Open juniors doubles winner Alex Eala, who is also a scholar in the Academy located in Mallorca, Spain.
