Nadal out of business
Published by admin | Filed under News
STILL reeling from his Australian Open pummelling at the hands of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Spanish superstar Rafael Nadal was further humbled yesterday when he arrived at Melbourne Airport.
The Barcelona-bound Nadal could only get a business-class seat as far as Singapore and was facing being pushed to the back of the plane for the connecting journey to Frankfurt.
The triple French Open champion was placed on waiting lists with both Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines for the flight out of the city state.
“The business class is full out of Singapore. He has a business-class ticket out (but) he is only in economy,” Nadal’s agent said.
Nadal’s travelling frustrations came less than 24 hours after the 21-year-old admitted he’d been powerless to stop Tsonga in a 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 semi-final defeat at Rod Laver Arena.
The world No. 2 had stormed through his opening five matches without dropping a set. But his campaign was suddenly over in a blur in less than two hours.
