NEW YORK (Reuters) - A fan of tennis player Rafael Nadal, who breached U.S. Open security to embrace the Spaniard courtside, faces jail time after he was charged on Wednesday with interfering with a sporting event.
Nadal was in the midst of changing shirts on Tuesday after he beat France's Gael Monfils when the male fan leaped out of the stands onto the center court in Arthur Ashe Stadium and put his arms around Nadal before kissing him on the cheek.
...
"For me it wasn't a problem," Nadal, who appeared unruffled, told reporters about the encounter. "The guy was really nice. He was a great fan, he said 'I love you' and he kiss me."

Was it me, or was Djokovic's manhood pretty prominent for the latter half of this match? I don't know if it's sawdust (like Lendl used to keep in his pocket) or if it was a VPL. I prefer thinking it was the latter.Some pics from the Verdasco/Djkovic Quarterfinals match. Serb Novak Djkovic prevailed.

When I watched that happen, it was THEN that I felt the sting of jeal-ou-syyy... Hey, what do ya want from a drama queen...?!
Seriously, the fact that the "kissing fandit" waited till Rafa was half-naked -- the WRONG half, I know, but you get what you can get -- is SO worth a few years in stir.
And you gotta love Rafa's reaction, on court & after.
Speaking of which, finally, one of the commentators mentioned how Rafa looked smaller. I noticed his guns looking thinner around last year. Maybe staving-off potential shoulder probs by nixing da weights? Lighter for faster movement? I miss his muscle shirt modeling, thinner guns or not.
