Tennis / Nadal laughs as 'drunk' woman shows middle finger during Australian Open

Sports Desk: An unusual incident took place at the Rod Laver Arena during Rafael Nadal's match on Thursday. The Spaniard was playing against Michael Mmoh in the evening when a fan interrupted Nadal's serve and showed him a middle finger.

Nadal was already up by one set, which he won 6-1 and had almost won the second (5-4) when a woman started making noise to get the Spaniard's attention and when she got his attention, she showed a middle finger to him. Nadal seemed shocked as he laughed lightly and asked "What? Me?"

Nadal eased past Mmoh 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in just an hour and 47 minutes.

After the match in the on-court interview, he was laughingly asked if knew the lady. Nadal responded to that with, "No and honestly, I don't want to know (laughed)."
