Rafael Nadal assisted by member of public as Tesco self-service proves a tricky opponent
Apparently the two-time Wimbledon champion was buying Diet Coke.
Rafael Nadal might be the king of clay but he is yet to prove his credentials against a far more British foe, the self-service checkout machine.
Twitter user Nick Roberts posted a photo of the 10-time French Open champion at the checkout in a Tesco in Wimbledon, where he apparently needed a bit of a hand.
“It was very exciting,” Roberts wrote. “He bought a 6 pack of Diet Coke.
“Didn’t need a bag. Environmentally conscious and awesome at tennis.”
The 31-year-old Spaniard was scheduled to play third on Centre Court on Wednesday, after defending champion Andy Murray.
Young may be in for a tough day though, with the the performances Nadal showed at the French Open and in his demolition of Australian John Millman in the first round suggesting he’s in fine form.
