A tall oval above a compact lower mark
A tall diagonal oval occupies the upper half of this narrow autograph. A smaller rounded return connects it to a pointed lower group with a long sloping stroke. Compare the upper loop’s empty space with the dense lower marks: the specimen is more readily followed through those two levels than as a full line of ordinary letters.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening is lower than the typical letter body. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.75×, while the whole image is 0.59 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes above the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.
Loops and the lower flourish
The sample contains 1 enclosed loop and 2 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 42% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
Rafael Nadal’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates a large oval flourish with expressive presentation. The compact angular lower forms add a sharper closing rhythm beneath the much more spacious upper gesture.
