Rafael Nadal commits rare 'Unforced Error' off the tennis court hilariously: WATCH

Gearing up for the start of the clay season, the King of Clay Rafael Nadal had a bit of a fumble as he went through an interview at Monte Carlo. The first of three ATP Masters 1000 tournaments to be played on clay, the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters 2021 will take place at the Monte-Carlo Country Club from April 11 to 18. Looking to brush off his poor run in Australia earlier this year, Nadal will be a lot more at home in the principality. An 11-time winner at the Masters 1000 event, Nadal's credentials going into the Monte Carlo Masters 2021 will be humbling to even the best in the draw. 

Nadal's 'unforced' error ahead of Round 1 clash in Monte Carlo

World No. 3 Rafael Nadal had a scary slip-up during an interview with the ATP ahead of his Round 1 clash at the Monte Carlo Masters 2021. In a video shared by the organisation, Nadal could be seen dropping his interviewer's phone as she passed it on to him to show him something. Visibly flustered, Nadal confirmed that the device was okay, apologising to the lady before carrying on with the rest of the chat. Hopefully, for his fans, these errors will remain off-court.
