Eighteen appearances at the Australian Open goes a long way. To win two titles, in 2009 and 2022, but also to experience surreal situations like he did. Rafael Nadal in its debut in the 2023 edition.
At 4-3 in the first set, Nadal grabbed the racket to get back on court, but it was gone. He couldn’t find it and had to use his racket bag to find another one.
“The ball boy took him away,” the Spaniard said to the chair umpire, unable to contain his laughter.
The racket was confused. He had already taken the good one, when he should have taken what the manacorí used to tie.
He looked for a new tool, and another antivibrator, the one he prepared was on the missing racket.
