After another late night of work, I parked myself on my bed and watched the Nadal/Monfiles match. After a very entertaining match where Monfils talked to himself after every point in the first set, the craziest man of them all was not Gael. It was a loon who rushed the court as Rafa was changing out of his shirt and into his warmups (or cooldowns?). ESPN showed a replay of the guy leaping over the stands and kind of meandering. He was going to take a photo of Rafa (Did he really need to trespass for a picture?) and instead opting for a hug/kiss of the barechested Nadal.
The best part of the replay was watching the woman (who was past her spry years) and a man--who my 11 year old brother could run circles around all day with ease--(he was overweight) react like tortoises.
You're telling me that in a recession where nearly 10% of the potential workforce is jobless, you couldn't hire some beefier people? And you couldn't opt to place them by the players?
To his credit, Nadal acted coolly. He actually wanted to talk to the guy it appeared. The crack security ushered off the passive trespasser, though.
"For me, it wasn't a problem. The guy was really nice," Nadal said. "He said, 'I love you,' and he kissed me.Somewhere Monica Seles didn't find this funny.
