Rafa Nadal angered by 'bullsh**' marriage question...

Rafa Nadal rarely loses his cool on the tennis court, but his patience was soundly tested after losing in his ATP Finals opener Monday. After defeat by Alexander Zverev in London, Nadal appeared taken aback as a reporter questioned whether his recent marriage to longtime partner Xisca Perello had contributed to his loss. Nadal and Perello were married in Mallorca, Spain last month having been together for 15 years. "Honestly, are you asking me this?" Nadal shot back after the 6-2 6-4 defeat. "Is this a serious question or is it a joke? "It's a big surprise you're asking me this after being with the same girl for 15 years, having a very stable and normal life. It doesn't matter if you put a ring on your finger or not." Tension then increased in the press conference when Nadal turned the line of question back on the Italian reporter.

"How many years have you been with your (partner)?" asked the Spaniard, drawing laughs from the reporters.

"We move to Spanish, because that's bullsh**," he concluded. "Thank you very much."
