RAFAEL NADAL UPSET BY DAVID FERRER!
It is the most upsetting and shocking news we EVER thought we'd have to report this morning. Not only did Rafa lose, he lost in straight sets!
6-4,6-2,6-3.
He pulled a hamstring that left him hobbling throughout the first set and yet he continued on to finish the entire match. A shadow of himself. The entire tennis world is agasp as thousands of fans around the world take to twitter, Facebook and their blogs to lament the end of the tournament for this great champion. We had so much hopes for him to win and hold all four Grand Slam titles at once.
Rafa was so upset he just started crying for a minute at the side during break. It was heartbreaking.
"Rafael Nadal had already broken every tennis heart around the world when he soldiered through his quarterfinal match against David Ferrer, clearly injured, clearly in pain, but refusing to do himself or his opponent the ignominy of retiring. And the Spaniard clambered even further into the public's affections when he sat in front of the world's tennis media to explain the reasons behind that decision.
Refusing to make excuses for the loss, and heaping praise on friend and compatriot Ferrer, Nadal explained that in his mind the nature of tennis is that there are positive and negative moments, and today's defeat, although devastating, was one of the many peaks and troughs that go hand in hand with being a professional tennis player. "
We are simply devastated. This is the worst outcome we could imagine.
We have the Djokovic (Joke-o-vich) vs. Federer quarterfinal to look forward to. But our hearts aren't there yet.

Rafa very rarely chokes,he just was flat out HURT!! Tennis is tough enough when your in top shape but playing injured or coming off an injury(delpotro)is almost impossible!!The players are just way to good across the board now. No Rafa Slam but he remains #1!!
