Nadal can't find his Favourite Racquet in Bizarre Moment at Australian Open | Eurosport Tennis

Reigning Australian Open champion Rafael Nadal found himself wildly gesticulating and pleading with the umpire for his favourite racquet to be returned during his opening match against Jack Draper. For some reason, a ball kid took the wrong racquet to the stringer, leaving the Spaniard without the one he wanted to use during the match. It led to some amusing scenes on Rod Laver Arena.

But he is always classy and good-hearted always

[@bollocksnlilies]

Bizarre moment? It's not his favourite. There is a specific order tennis players use their raquets in, based on the strings, vibrations etc, Nadal had them numbered and the ballboy took the wrong one. That's pretty important actually at this level of tennis.

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

What's more, Nadal has OCD so the raquet order is even more important to him xD

[@nicolasrivero3027]

@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 It's called rituals to clear your mind for the important stuff. I would not dare to diagnose anyone so lightly like this if you are not a psicologist and worked with him

[@taivo5753]

Good thing no one turned his water bottle labels. Rafa would had to retire the match.

[@ssmith6550]

Rafa is a true legend and an amazing sportsman. Unlike other players who are waiting to throw tantrums he took this strange experience with a lovely smile. What a wonderful human being. God bless you fearless matador!

Why did he use new paint job at united cup and now he is back to one from last season

[@18yearsoldnot]

He apparently plays with the same tension on all his racquets. Or maybe it’s different theses days? Not an issue for him at all once he found a spare dampener
