Video: Rosol Knocks Down Rafa’s Water Bottles



Lukas Rosol took a page from Marinko Matosevic’s playbook on Day 4 of the Championships when he knocked down Rafael Nadal’s water bottles en route to the baseline after a changeover.

(Thanks to the Changeover for pointing us to the video. See a hilarious GIF of the incident here)

That’s the second time that a player has attempted the stunt (Matosevic did it in Monte Carlo last season, and went on to lose 6-1, 6-2) and it’s the second time that Nadal has shrugged it off and went about his business to seal another of his 701 career victories.

Note to ATP players: It may be funny to knock Rafa’s water bottles down, but IT DOESN’T WORK.

Nadal defeated Rosol 4-6, 7-6(6), 6-4, 6-4 and will face Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan in the third round.
