Rafa Nadal had an unexpected surprise at this years U.S. Open. I've seen some pretty enthusiastic fans but this tops them all. During one of Nadal's matches a crazed fan came onto the court, ran up to Nadal, and kissed him on the cheek. Nadal told reporters that the man said he loved him and then proceeded to kiss him. He said that the man said "I love you" in english but Nadal understood what that meant. Nadal wasn't upset by this and that was a good reaction. There's no need to be upset with a fan of yours. Especially one bold enough to do something like that. Even though tennis is a proper sport, sometimes it's okay to express your emotions; if those emotions are positive. Sadly the man was arrested for his actions but at least he completed his goal. Here's a news video that shows footage from the match:

Haha. When I was watching the match all the way to the finish I couldn't believe such a thing happened. How in the world did this man get past security and manage to get so close to Rafa?...It definitely makes the security look bad, though it was kind of funny watching it all go down and finding out that all crazed fan simply said, "I love you." Classic.
