Rafael Nadal of Spain takes a break from a hard practice session at the Western & Southern
Financial Group Masters (an ATP Masters Series tour event) in Cincinnati, Ohio, showing spectators
lining the fence at courtside just how tiring practice can be. Nadal, seeded second in the tournament,
lost his first-round match a few hours later to Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic, 6-7, 6-2, 7-6.
