Claiming fatigue, seeded number 1 in the world tennis ranking Rafael Nadal conceded a stunning 6-1 3-6 6-3 defeat against Austria's Juergen Melzer; both athletes had tackled the tennis court as part of the 3^rd round of the Shanghai Masters tennis tournament during which, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic were able to proceed into the next round by booking their live tennis tickets, unlike Nadal whose loss comes as a knockout for all the tennis betting odds and the bet on Shanghai Masters.

Rafael Nadal, who previously won the Tokyo Open on Sunday, was tennis-swinging his 3^rd consecutive tennis tournament, knowing that he had not lost a set to Melzer in 3 previous tennis games as reported by the ATP Stats and professional tennis statistics.

The tennis fans, who had previously bought their Shanghai Masters tickets, were left stunned as Nadal tennis racket was cracked and his record thrashed in a miserable way; the Spanish number 1 in tennis standings had dropped the serve twice during the opening set in the midst of a series of unforced tennis errors on his way to beat the seeded number 13 in the ATP Tour rankings.

Nadal, in a quich chat with the Shanghai Masters Live reporters, sports channels and the tennis news journalists, said: "This isn't a surprise for me. I didn't play well. I felt slow on court and I made more mistakes than usual. In general, I am a little bit more tired than usual, physically and mentally.”

Nadal tried to complement himself by stating that a tennis player can't expect to win weekly. Ths season is over in terms of tennis tournaments for the world number 1 in tennis results, given that he managed to secure 3 Grand Slam tennis tournaments (Wimbledon, French Open and US Open)… an achievement that bring him into the tennis records’ book aside the best in tennis history.

Melzer, on the other side of the tennis court, stated that Nadal wasn’t in top form, which motivated him to take advantage from every tennis ball to claim his win and beat the Tennis betting bookmakers and step into the 4^th round of the Shanghai Masters.
