Rafael Nadal's frantic sprint to watch Real Madrid beat Man City after his own victory - Madrid Open Diary

Where’s the mark? Rafael Nadal wrapped up his 6-1, 7-6(7/4) win over Miomir Kecmanovic on Wednesday with an ace, but commentators later said his serve was actually wide. Ad/> Kecmanovic opted not to challenge and the match was over, but later on court, Nadal was joined by a group of people for a ceremony honouring the late Manolo Santana – one of which was his opponent’s coach David Nalbandian. TennisCan 'different' Murray take his chance against Djokovic?AN HOUR AGO After the ceremony, Nadal walked across the net to the service box to check out the mark and Nalbandian kept pointing to one that showed the serve was out.

This is what Nadal had to say about the whole thing after the match. “Was two marks there. One was good; one was out.

I am not sure, but I think the ball was out, but I am not sure. Difficult to talk,” said the Spaniard. “By the way, the problem now is you have to call it very quick.

That's what the umpire told us before the match. If you can see very quickly, you can do it, and I think the problem is Miomir didn't see it really quick and I was already on the net. “I don't know.

I didn't see the ball. After, when I was at the net, I saw that one ball was a little bit out. I don't know if he had the chance to ask for this [challenge] or not." Nadal added that Kecmanovic was very “fair” about the whole incident and didn’t create a big fuss.
