Rafael Nadal took care of business on the court during the third round of the U.S. Open on Sunday, picking up a straight set win over David Nalbandian. But what happened after the match is what's sure to dominate headlines.
While answering questions in Spanish during a post-match interview, Nadal suddenly started grimacing in pain. He quickly started sliding down his chair with his eyes closed, creating quite an odd scene.
After sliding completely out of his chair and to the ground behind the table he had been sitting at, trainers came over to aid Nadal. He then popped back up.
Nadal insisted that it was a simple leg cramp, according to The Associated Press.
"It's bad luck it happened here and not in the locker room," he said.
