It came back in April during the third round of the Barcelona Open.
After a let, Nadal's opponent Benoit Paire hit the ball back to him at chest height. Instead of knocking down the ball and then grabbing it with his hand, Nadal straight-up caught the ball with his racket.
It didn't even bounce, it just stuck right to his strings.
