GrandMa Receives Rafael Nadal Standee as Christmas Present (Video Inside)

Tennis - Recently, Roger Federer met a 107-year-old fan of his during his Latin American tour which was then captured in the ESPN documentary, "Roger Federer: Everywhere is Home". 107-year-old Dorothea was 86 years old when Federer turned professional and said she does not watch anything else when Federer is on the television. 

Now, another senior tennis fan has received a gift related to one of the Big Three.

A grandmother, who is a big time fan of World No. 1 Rafael Nadal, was presented with a cardboard cutout of the Spanish superstar on Christmas by her daughter-in-law and it turned out to be one of the happiest moments for the grandmother to see the same on Christmas Day.

The daughter-in-law of the grandmother posted the video of her reaction on Twitter, "My mother-in-law (aka grandma) received the best Christmas gift ever. Rafael Nadal is her favorite tennis player and love of her life. Her reaction was priceless.”

After receiving the standee of Nadal, the grandma looked at the cardboard standee before going on to hug him and posed with the standee as well.

Nadal is the top-ranked player in the world currently and will be gunning for his 20th Grand Slam title in Australia, hoping to tie with Roger Federer on the record for the most number of majors in history. Nadal won two majors this year to reclaim the No. 1 ranking from Novak Djokovic. He also won the Italian Open and Canadian Open and was part of Spain's Davis Cup winning team in November.
