She yelled out as Nadal repeatedly bounced the ball, readying himself to send down a serve to second-round opponent Michael Mmoh. Australian Open: Nadal helped out by YouTube as Medvedev enjoys birthday win The fan appeared to call Nadal an "OCD f***", and he responded with bafflement and some amusement before looking up to the stands, with the spectator staring down at him, the middle finger on her right hand raised in an aggressive manner. The umpire then spoke out to declare: "Thanks madam, you're delaying everything." Moments later, security arrived to escort the woman out of the show court, to the roaring approval of the vast majority of the crowd. "Yeah, it was to me I think," Nadal said of the gesture. "Maybe she took too much gin or tequila. I don't know. But honestly it was a strange … [Read more...] about Australian Open: Nadal shocked but amused as fan hurls foul abuse at Spanish superstar
