New Delhi: The King of Clay Rafael Nadal on Wednesday showed his benevolent side by helping an injured Nicolas Almagro during their Rome Masters round of 32 match
Nadal, regarded as one of the fiercest competitors ever to have played tennis, was forced to offer a helping hand to Almagro, even as his Spaniard compatriot struggled to stand on his feet after playing a brilliant forehand winner.
