It’s not every day you get to share the court with one of the greatest players of all time, so why not capture the moment for posterity?

Rafa being Rafa, of course, obliged the Argentine. It probably wouldn’t have gone that smooth after the last time these two faced off, when Zeballos upset Nadal in the Vina del Mar final in Chile back in 2013 to win his first career singles title.

Nadal will face Dominic Thiem in the final of the ATP 500 tournament. Zeballos can take solace after the straight-set loss with the fact that he managed to play his best tournament of the year so far—and found a way to commemorate the occasion.
