Nadal is a bit of a freak isn't he?

I mean, presumably there is a reason tennis isn't chock full of pumped up muscle men like him. I suspect it is because that much upper body weight puts a ludicrous stress on the knees in a sport like tennis where you are constantly changing direction. Wouldn't surprise me if he is finished within 5 years.
