Rafael Nadal, a nervous wreck in Madrid! Huge controversy at De Minaur match due to refereeing

The match between Rafael Nadal and Alex De Minaur started with a major refereeing error, against the Spaniard. With the score 2-0 for the Spaniard, a ball from the Australian landed right near the end line, outside the field. The linesman didn’t call OUT, the linesman didn’t think it was OUT.

At that moment, Rafael Nadal stopped the point and circled the trail, but without asking for a challenge. The chair official ruled the point to De Minaur, at which point Rafael Nadal lost his composure. The “Matador” asked the referee for explanations, but without any success.

In a moment of maximum tension, Rafael Nadal asked for the tournament supervisor to come onto the court. The Spaniard resumed the service game, saved two break points from the Australian, only to lose the break advantage on his own serve.

During the break between the games, the supervisor of the tournament arrived on the court, and Rafael Nadal was calmed down with difficulty. The second most titled tennis player in history asked to never be refereed by Fergus Murphy on the grounds that “he always does that in his matches”.
