Alert: Rafael Nadal Doesn’t Know How To Do His Laundry.

Rafael Nadal’s stature as the ATP’s top-ranked player should come with numerous perks and benefits resembling those of a Sultan. In fact, he should probably be treading on roses everywhere he steps at this juncture of his career. Because for a guy that rubs elbows with people like Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon, and has a resume including “winning the single greatest Wimbledon match ever” means he should have someone taking care of, lets say, his pajama washing.

The U.S. Open begins today and if Rafael Nadal’s outfits appear a bit strange, British cycling double gold-medal winner Bradley Wiggins knows why.
Wiggins ran into the Spanish tennis star at the Beijing Olympics.
“I was in the laundry and standing right next to Nadal,” he told BBC Sport. “I didn’t bother him, but he was shoving all his colors and whites in together.
“I really wanted to say, ‘Dude, you’re going to have a nightmare with that. You can’t just put the whole bag in — there are reds in with whites.’ But what can you do?”

Maybe he was trying to make his own Spanish jersey? It’s plausible, but Nadal, at this point, should be getting the same treatment Eddie Murphy received from his servants in “Coming To America.” They even wiped his arse! His, arse!
