Rafael Nadal has always been open with his emotions and worn his heart on his sleeve, but have you ever seen the Spaniard look this dejected?

Sure, things weren’t going great for him during his Mutua Madrid Open match against Andy Murray. But this was a semifinal – not a first round match, nor a final. Nor was it at a Grand Slam event, the kind of tournament players covet over all others.

Maybe it was the disappointment at failing to produce his best in front of home crowd. Or the fact he was losing to a player who he typically owns on clay. Whatever the reason, Rafa was not a happy camper during his eventual loss to the world No.2.
