Three cheers for Stan for calling out the cheater Nadal! [View all]

There is a swagger about the man they call "Stan", and he even had the confidence to have a dig at Nadal afterwards, saying the umpire had failed to stop the Mallorcan receiving coaching from his uncle Toni.

Rafael Nadal of Spain hits a return during his men's singles tennis match against Stanislas Wawrinka …"Today I didn't agree with the umpire that he didn't tell him something or he didn't give him a second warning just because it was Rafa.
