Video: Rafael Nadal Kissed by Crazed Fan

Found September 09, 2009 on The World of Isaac:
PLAYERS: Rafael Nadal

Nadal90419282


Didn't Monica Seles once get stabbed at a tennis event? I'm not asking for Secret Service like protection for these athletes, but I don't think it would hurt to, I don't know, maybe have a couple of guys with shirts that say "Event Security".

Hell, they don't even have to do anything. Just stand around the court and look tough.

And is it me or does Rafael Nadal seem to be enjoying this a bit too much. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this guy have a smoking hot girlfriend.

I hope she isn't the jealous type. Cause if she is, I'm more than willing to be her rebound.

  • I thought it was a girl that kissed Rafa, not a dude. Not that it matters, but..eh?

    Rafa went back after that guy, he at least was a good sport about it.

  • Rafa has a gorgeous girlfriend. I think people are going to question his sexuality because of how cool he was with it and everything. Obviously, those who question it might not understand the Spanish culture. Men over there are a lot more comfortable with their sexuality than those over here and, they do kiss other men on the cheeks and such. They show affection. That's normal in the Spanish culture and doesn't mean anything.

  • At least Rafa was a good sport about it. This is not something that would freak out someone from Spain as much someone from the United States would be.

    Personally, I'd storm the court and kiss Ginepri. Talk about hottie.

  • Well, have you seen him? He may not last very long in Grand Slams but he is hot. I used to love Marat Safin but he lost his passion for tennis so you never see him.

    BTW, Wagner is on the mound right now for the sox. Crucial game tied 4 to 4 in the top of the 7th.

  • That looked like a total Euro/Spanish kiss....no big deal. There is a lot of man kissing going on there, lol! My Haitian friend got sick of it while he was in Paris....his nickname had been "man kisser" ever since. Oh, HC, my sister used to love Safin too, he was the only way I could get her to let me watch tennis when we were younger, lol.

  • Ever watch the Soprano's they kiss both cheeks.

    But I think the issue here is that he was basically sexually assaulted by law. lol

  • I had the same "different culture' converastion with my wife last night after I asked her if she saw this happen. She said it was creepy, I thought she meant the kiss, but she meant the fact that the guy was even able to get onto the court after the whole Seles (sp?) thing.

Rafael Nadal's Fist Pump: The Best in Sports

Via Bleacher Report  |  September 09, 2009
Rafael Nadal chases down a shot and smashes it down the line for the point.  We've seen it a hundred times, and we've also seen what comes after the point: the fist pump. It's a gesture that has been around for ages. Michael Jordan would pump his fist after a great dunk, Tiger famously pumps his fist and holds it after making a putt; it is one of the most recognizable...

Ok, when was the last time Rafael Nadal made excuses in a press conference? I know: after his loss to Juan Martin del Potro in Miami five months ago. He played one of the worst matches I have seen him playing and seemed strangely disinvested on court. He said there was a reason for his poor play. ‘A personal one’. And what did we learn three months later? He had been...
