OMG - The tennis world is in a tizzy after
Rafael Nadal lost today on the terr(ier) bateau and offered up a rare clay-court chew toy for any number of ballers still left in the draw.
The Mallorcan matador lost only his second match in 105 matches to compatriot
Juan Carlos Ferrero in Rome today, suffering a shocking 7-5, 6-1 defeat. But I guess it wasn't so shocking since he was suffering from a blister on his right foot:
Today when I woke up, I said it was impossible to play. I spoke to the doctor today and yesterday, and they put special protection on it and cream, but it was still tough.
In any case,
Rafa's loss blows the draw wide open for
Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and even
David Ferrer to make a run to the title and gain confidence for
Roland Garros.
Hey doggie, who wants it more?
