Can some one tell me the reason Rafael Nadal gave for his spectacular slither from his chair the other day. Was it a dose of Colombian's finest or just sheer tiredness?

Yes apparently he had cramp in both the front and back of his leg so went into complete spasm.

Come on steg............you wouldn't fall off your chair with a bit of cramp.
I remember playing a mixed doubles table tennis final, and with loads of people watching my partner collapsed with cramp. It was that embarrassing I buggered off and left him..........

i played rugby once with 3 broken toes and 4 stitches in the back of my head

I can't understand why he just slithered down like that - when I get cramp I have to leap out of bed shouting YARRRRROOOOOOOO and stand on my leg to stop it.

See steg..............he's not braw like you.......

[puternut]

steg ... that will teach you to kick yourself in the head !!!!!!

[ummmm]

I wonder...because they are so fit and muscular does it make a difference to the pain. I would think it does...

*steg blushes* thanks craft xx

[steg]

lol p it's my party trick

[askyourgran]

I thought it was something else that made him disappear under the table. If you have cramp you grab the bit that is cramped and get up and or rub the cramped bit. He looked as if he was in a daze.

By the look on his face I think he was dragged by his leg under the table by a female fan giving him a B/Job but, I cant prove it :-)
