Found this new posting of a very old video. Nadal at 16. Interesting to hear what was said about him way back then. Moya says "one day he could be almost unbeatable".

another time moya said he thought nadal could maybe stay in the top 10 and win 1 FO, but could have never predicted he would go on to win 11 slams.

Neither did Moya ever believe that the young 14/15 year old would beat him !!

Well done to him! How rare is it for a male 16 year old to win a tour level match I wonder.

As rare as these (even though this is not at 16 yo)?

The Main Event Lads have had a few run-ins with Carlos Moya. We've always found his judgement to be suspect and clearly we were right, because he was way off the mark with that statement. Any Top 200 player can beat Nadal on a good day - even on clay.

S-H that proves what I've always believed - good days are just around the corner, but they never actually arrive.
