Tennis’ ''King of clay'' Rafael Nadal has produced a shot that more confusing the more times you watch it during a match at the Barcelona Open.

The Spaniard – winner of nine French Open title and widely considered the best clay court exponent the game was seen – produced a shot that was half-volley, half- self defence and all kinds of confusing.

Nadal’s South Korean opponent Chung Hyeon set things up by firing the ball at the body of Nadal.

Did the former world No.1 hit the winner with a backhand shot? Or was it the forehand? He may have even hit it with the back of the racquet. It is hard to tell.

In the end Nadal won the point – and eventually the match.

He may go on to win this tournament and the upcoming French Open, but it is hard to imagine him hitting a more interesting shot than this one.
