"Poison," Nadal Upset By Rain, U.S. Attacks Referee Open
Rafael Nadal was one of a number of angry players are forced to take the court Wednesday in foggy conditions in the U.S. Open. The tournament champion to defend his position is known for almost 10 minutes waiting to exit the locker room. He later attacked the tournament referee Brian Early after another band of rain delay after playing 15 minutes on the court.
"It's the same old story," said Nadal at the early decision to play in light rain. "Whatever you think about money."
ESPN Pam Shriver said Nadal appeared to be "poisonous" after going down 0-3 to Gilles Muller before the rain delay. Their match was postponed on Tuesday and delayed one hour on Wednesday due to weather.
In the spirit of Nadal, who never would have begun.
He first expressed his anger with the play passive-aggressive waiting before the game. While Muller was at the door to go to the Arthur Ashe Stadium, Nadal lingered in the locker room for eight minutes before him. He was questioned about it by Tom Rinaldi on ESPN pre-game interview and unconvincing to blame poor communication with the ATP:
"I'm sorry for that. It was my fault but the fault of the ATP Gilles why not put on the ground if they are not ready. With rain delays do not know when you might need to go to the field. I have to do all the tapes, I can not to the tapes [30 minutes] before the game. I have to do it last time and I need to know exactly when I go to court. They told me that at the last minute. I thought we could go later. What can Gilles happen is waiting for me. sorry, that Gilles forgive, forgive all. "
It 'been a great response, even though it sounds a bit' empty. ESPN viewers were told that the game is scheduled to begin at noon ET hour before. If you knew when Chris Fowler, Nadal had to take the Court did not too sure of Nadal.
His subsequent actions suggest the same. Nadal was clearly upset during the heating and the beginning of the game. Discouraged, he broke into his first serve and fell 0-3 when the rain stopped play. Nadal briefly exchanged words with beginning and closing the door of the court.
As of 1:30 pm ET, the rain continued to fall in New York is little to stop the near future.
