I was watching Nadal at wombledon over the past week and have concluded that it is either some sort of ritual or he has a problem, firstly the right hand goes behind, seems to pull the shorts out of the crack, then front assault on his bits pulling that down and finally waistband pulls them up again. Then we are treated to a RH pull on the shirt duplicated on the other side, then ear nose other ear, then a wipe across the face with the sweatband, strange. Now the ball boys / girls, never have I seen such erratic movements, and the poses they strike are really weird.

He's bern doing it for years - - it's just a habit - - nowt to worry about.

And does it really matter?

A lot of tennis players have a little routine, like bouncing the ball several times, before they serve. It's a way of channeling their concentration, nothing weird about it.

Dan Biggar was the same - used to take forever preparing for a shy at the posts. He was in real danger of being timed out and, a few years ago, seriously pruned his rituals.

He may be winding up his opponent.

I wouldn't say ADHD, more like OCD perhaps

Well I don't know the absolute technical terms, I presumed LGBT was a railway company when it first came up, but whatever way, sorry he seems a bit strange to me. His eyes are all over the place when he is working himself up for a serve. In retrospect MOTM2 you have described it better than me.
