Rosol is ranked No. 100, playing in his first Wimbledon and had never won a grass-court match before this season. Yet he frustrated Nadal with a big serve, aggressive groundstrokes and some pre-serve antics. Nadal complained to the chair umpire about Rosol's movement and sounds. Nadal likes to consider himself above the fray, but he plays more mind games than anyone. From making opponents wait in the tunnel to sprinting away from the net after the coin toss to sitting on his chair a little longer during changeovers to waiting on the changeovers in the first place -- he's a master. The master lost his nerve on Thursday. space for lease |
