A Belgian radio announcer annoys Rafael Nadal while sleeping
Right now the cream of the cream of Spanish tennis is in Charleroi, Belgium warming up before the start of the first round of Davis Cup. And who is the cream of the cream of Spanish tennis? Do not you know? There could be none other than David Ferrer, Fernando Verdasco, Feliciano Lopez and Rafael Nadal. They are handsome and international ... But it is certainly more international Rafa Nadal.
And that is why the alarm program 'Good Morning' from 'Radio Contact' wanted to talk to him by all means, but in a way, say, peculiar. One of the presenters of the program tried to contact the Spanish player, and did so by calling the hotel I was staying at seven in the morning, talking in perfect Spanish, and pretending to be her mother!
And got to talk to him, but not caught him at a good time. "We are on the radio in Belgium," said the announcer. "I'm sleeping," replied the player. Worse announcer ignored the words of Rafa, and continued talking with him. "We are delighted to have you in our program!" He said super excited. "I was also very happy sleeping, if you do not feel bad," he said good Rafa.
He does not sit well that call that had been masquerading as her mother. The announcer tried to downplay the issue, invited him to come in person to the program. But he politely declined the offer saying: "I'm here to play and train with a schedule that will not let me go anywhere."
And despite Nadal failed to appear in person on your radio, the announcer was more excited than a girl with a lollipop, [I like this!] because when Rafa Nadal hung up the phone could not think of anything to say: "I can not believe, I have spoken with Rafa Nadal! "
