VIDEO: Rafael Nadal talks about head injury after French Open camera accident

Earlier, Rafael Nadal was on the Tennis Channel talking about his 89th career win at the French Open.

Our champ also revealed he sustained a head injury after being hit by a camera walking on court – but thankfully he is not seriously hurt!

Wimbledon was my fault, 100 percent. Here was the fault of the camera. It was moving to the side when I was going. I went on this court a couple times and it never happened. Something changed with that camera.

  10. I thought Rafa accidentally walked into the camera but I had it wrong. This is what Rafa had to say according to Tennis.com:

    ”Wimbledon was my fault, 100 percent,” laughed Nadal. “Here was the fault of the camera. It was moving to the side when I was going. I went on this court a couple times and it never happened. Something [changed] with that camera.”

    “Nadal later revealed the incident resulted in a cut on his head.”

    Now I’m livid.

    RAFAMAZING ROCKS

  11. Love the smile! So funny too with the camera moving. Not a safe place to put camera ….. dangerous ! Vamos Rafa. So special to be playing for his 12th trophy!

    • setinthepast, I believe it was the top of the door frame leading to the court. He was jumping up and down. At first he seemed startled then broke out in a laugh. I guess I was more hurt than he. LOL

      RAFA ROCKS

  12. K no sea nada ese incidente.. T deseo todo lo mejor para k puedas realizar bien el torne… ADELANTE!!!
