Playing Andreev first game of match..Andreev goes down with an injury..Nadal crosses over immediately and shows legitimate concern..

Maria Sharapova would have turned her back on the girl and jumped up and down..

This kid has class

Rafael kindly asks that you please spell his first name correctly when giving him props.

I wonder if he would have jumped on stage during the Spelling Bee when you passed out.

Nadal has always been a great guy with tons of class, but so is Federer and even Djokovic has class. Tennis is a pretty classy sport, with the major exception being Roddick. He's just plain embarrassing, especially since he represents the USA.

He's not up there like Fed and Nadal, but he's not a douche like Roddick. He is just very confident/cocky and calls out guys he shouldn't (Federer).

Families are a different story. Some parents get way too involved and end up making themselves and their child look bad, but I can't blame that on the player.

I met Novak last year at the Rogers Cup in Montreal and he's a good guy. He'll learn to be more humble as he has more success.
