As if reaching a fourth consecutive Grand Slam final, and seventh French Open final, was not enough of a sign of how good a tennis player Rafael Nadal is, he even managed to win a point sitting down during his semi-final at Roland Garros.
Already leading compatriot and friend David Ferrer by a set, Nadal slipped on the service line and was forced to sit down to dink a backhand drop shot over the net during a 30-plus stroke rally on the Phillippe Chatrier court.
Ferrer got to the ball but Nadal got back up on to his feet before continuing the rally and going on to earn himself two break points after another drop shot.
The world number two went on to annihilate Ferrer 6-2 6-2 6-1 to reach the final and remain on course for a record-breaking seventh French Open title.
