Who said practice style had to be as boring as hitting cross-court groundstrokes for an hour? Roger Federer has his emojis, and now Rafal Nadal has his own take on the personalized Nike practice T-shirt. Nadal's new shirt made its debut during his practice at Roland Garros, which was with Rome champion Andy Murray.

The Nike top is a clever play on Nadal's signature bandana look (though he sometimes opts for a backwards hat during practice). It’s also obviously great to see two potential tournament titlists hitting together on one of the biggest stages in the sport:
