Nadal and the fan who marked a triple finger (Reuters)
There was a lot of chaos in the tennis match today (Thursday) between Rafael Nadal and American Michael Moch at the Australian Championships, but not because of the meeting between the two tennis players that ended in a 1: 6, 4: 6 and 2: 6 victory for the Spaniard, but due to one particularly bizarre moment in the crowd – A fan pointed a triple finger in the direction of the bull, received jarring contempt from the crowd and was removed by security at the scene.
Nadal easily took the first set with 1: 6, and when he was in a 4: 5 situation in the second set, just before the final serve, the girl made a non-stop noise, which made the Spaniard notice it turning towards her. At that moment she pointed a three-pointed finger at him, and he was completely stunned and asked, “What, me?”
The woman did not stop shouting even after she drew Nadal’s attention and continued to make noise, which led to security instead of intervening. Nadal began to smile awkwardly and looked at his opponent with a look that asked ‘Is it possible to continue now?’. Just before he filed again, three security men expelled her from the scene and he finished the second set with a 0: 2 advantage, when afterwards as stated he went on to win.
Nadal He later said: “I think the fan who drank too much gin or tequila, was drunk. It was a funny situation because I did not understand why she did it, but there are people like that in the world. The distance has come to her. “
