Love and Love

A man was arrested at the U.S. Open last night after running on the court at Arthur Ashe Stadium to kiss Rafael Nadal following his victory over Gael Monfils.

Although Nadal did look a bit surprised (who's in charge of security out in Queens anyway, Gunter Parche?), the Spanish star seemed to take it all in stride, even smiling as it unfolded. “For me it wasn’t a problem,” said Nadal. “The guy was really nice.” “He was a great fan,” he said. “He said, ‘I love you,’ and he kiss me.” Not to defend the kissing bandit or anything, but Nadal had just taken his shirt off. (Come on, Rafa. We're only human.)

   

Lessons learned from last night's "attack":

Rafael Nadal has an irresistibly hot body

Security at the U.S. Open in horrendous

Rafael Nadal is a cool guy who is obviously not homophobic (Go, Rafa!)
