Just two days into US Open, fans have already found shot of the tournament courtesy Rafael Nadal

The World No2 impressed fans and YouTube users with his brilliant forehand shot that has gone
 viral.
Rafael Nadal

Having dominated the hard court pre-US
 Open matches, Rafael Nadal on Monday defeated American Ryan 
Harrison in the first round
 6-4, 6-2, 6-2.
Nadal was playing in his first US Open
 since 2011 when he lost to Novak
 Djokovic in the final.
 His bad knees ensured the Spaniard
 who
 won at Flushing Meadows in 2010
 was alway
 not on top of his game at the last
 Grand Slam
 of the year.
The first round loss in Wimbledon
has turned
 out to be a blessing as the French
 Open
 champion seems to be playing some of his
 best tennis on the hard courts so far.
In his first round match, Nadal produced an
 awesome forehand winner that was hit
across the court as he charged from one 
end of the court to the other to not just get
 to the ball but also slice it back with an
 awesome running passing shot.
Fans speak:
Theo Jackson, 30, a tennis fan said, " I'm a Roger Federer fan, but when I see a good
 shot I acknowledge it and Nadal played a fantastic shot."
Payal Rawat, 19, a student said, "Rafa nailed it with the shot. I have watched the video
atleast 20 times."
The shot on YouTube has more than 2 million views as fans and experts went on to brand
it as the shot of the tournament.
Here's the video of the shot:
