Rafa Nadal Caught a Reporter Asleep At His Press Conference And Started Fucking With Him

That flight to Australia can be BRUTAL. I’m saying that as if I’ve taken it, which is untrue, but that bad boy from Italy is 18 hours long and there’s going to be some serious jet lag that comes along with it. That jet lag messed with Italian journalist Ubaldo Scanagatta, who fell asleep during Rafa Nadal’s press conference after his opening round victory last night. I love how Rafa played it off and became fascinated by the whole thing. I feel like there are some athletes out there who would have made a scene (cough* cough* LeBron) but not Rafa. Instead he turned into a 10 year old who realized his buddy passed out in the middle of math class. I tell you what though, Nadal probably wasn’t saying anything interesting after his straight sets victory over James Duckworth. What’s a good way to spread around the word of tennis? Fall asleep during the press conference and go viral. Genius!

It’s not easy to stay awake during sporting events these days. The grind is exhausting. Feits and Ubaldo Scanagatta are clearly one in the same.

Never forget Francesa falling asleep on live air of his own show.
