Rafael Nadal's Press Room Scare
Sunday, September 4, 2011 at 4:10PM During his press conference after his 3rd round win over David Nalbandian, Rafael Nadal slid off his chair onto the floor due to a leg cramp. Clearly in pain, all reporters were asked to leave the room as he was attended to by USTA staff, his trainer, and his agent Benito.
Thankfully, after a few moments Rafa was able to stand on his own and then smile sheepishly as he was interviewed by Mary Joe Fernandez about the incident. He said that this had happened before, but never in the press room, and he just needed to drink more (it was a very hot and humid day in NY). It looked scary so I'm glad to hear that he is ok!
