Wow. It's abundantly clear just how gifted Nadal was at 16. He hit the ball damned hard even then. Although his style is very different from Federer's, he's no less talented. Based on this performance alone, I'm not surprised that he wound up winning 20 majors. In fact, I don't recall seeing ANY 16 year old male playing this well. Some awesome drop shots here also - which shows that Nadal, even at 16, knew a thing or 2 about finesse and delicacy.
