Raise your hand if you thought Rafael Nadal would star in the 2014 online version of Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd. That's what the following clip, and one that preceded it in which he frightened a few helicopter passengers, basically amounts to, and the amusement quotient is fairly high. Nadal sits on the green of a golf-course hole and feigns memory loss as the result of supposedly being hit in the head by a shot. Hijinks ensue in the clip here from PokerStars:
While we're at it, here's some relatively vintage video of Nadal and Novak Djokovic playing golf in Indian Wells, California, the site of singles championships for both. "We're not that great," Djokovic quips. "As you probably have the footage, we are terrible."
Rafa was recently named the No. 10 athlete brand in sports worldwide, tracking behind the likes of Lebron James, Tiger Woods, and his sometime-rival Roger Federer.
