You know that feeling when something sounds way worse than it is? It’s a really great feeling when it happens to you, because people give you the attention of someone who really got hurt and you get to shrug it off like a superhero. That happened to Rafael Nadal on Monday.
Rafael Nadal bonked his head on a door while warming up for Wimbledon
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
The impressive thing about Nadal slamming his head into the ceiling is the precision of it all. A few inches forward or reverse and he’s in the clear, but he somehow failed to realize the doorway was the only part of the tunnel he couldn’t try this.
Nadal is OK, and laughed the whole thing off. But that sounds ... it’s vicious.
