Rafael Nadal teams up with Steph Curry in hilarious new Subway commercial

Rafael Nadal announced his new endorsement deal with global fast food franchise Subway in hilarious fashion, by posting a new commercial alongside NBA superstar Steph Curry.

Nadal, who enjoys lucrative sponsorship deals with brands like Nike, Kia Motors and Richard Mille, among others, has expanded his already impressive portfolio with the new Subway partnership.

While the 22-time Slam champion has been away from the tour since the Australian Open, he recently teamed up with Steph Curry to promote the new 'Grand Slam Ham' sandwich for Subway. The sandwich is a part of the brand's new Deli Heroes line, which features "a collection of subs that showcases the brand’s new freshly-sliced meats," as stated in a press release.

In the new advertisement, Curry can be seen questioning whether the new sandwich, featuring sliced meats, lives up to the Spaniard's slice shot.

"This slice as good as your tennis slice?" Curry asks.

"I can't answer that but yes," Nadal responds.

The 22-time Slam champion posted the commercial on social media, jokingly writing that his slice couldn't match Subway's and sharing a clip of his famed shot for reference.

"I can’t believe I admitted that… Swipe for the slices in question," he captioned the post on Instagram.

The Spaniard also reshared the post on his Instagram story.

"Did you see this?" he posted with a winking emoji.

You have given us immense joy today and I am sure that our pioneer in Spanish tennis, Manolo Santana, has also been cheering wherever he is, such as Wimbledon whom you have joined today. A very strong hug and enjoy the moment, Champion!!!" he tweeted (Translated from Spaniash).
