Rafael Nadal took the opening set against Jack Draper to begin his Australian Open campaign but in a bizarre moment during the set, he couldn't find his racquet.
Nadal found himself pleading with the umpire as his favourite racquet went missing with the ball boy taking the wrong one to the stringer.
This led to Nadal not being able to change to the one he wanted to use but also meant some hilarious while bizarre scenes on Rod Laver Arena.
Watch the video below.

- Don't like her... never liked her. She's a condescending (fill in the blank). That said -- WTA is failing the players by allowing these camera operators to hover over, or next to, players -- especially while physio teams are working on their exposed areas, etc., etc., etc. There should be a safe distance rule. Also: let's not forget it was the cameras taking closeups across the court and literally resulting in revealing "upskirt" views (hence the ladies now place a towel between their legs at the bench). This is not a hard choice!mandoist21-05-2025

- That would have hurt!! Another cool moment was a sky-high lob when Qinwen shot the ball (mistakenly) straight-up and came within a foot or so of the overhead drone. BTW: Been watching these damn drones at sporting events -- a major accident waiting to happen in crowded venues like tennis courts. Not to mention they are super distracting.mandoist16-05-2025
