kinda scary he could get up on him like that
Tournament spokesman Tim Curry said police arrested the man for interference with a sporting event.
“We’re reviewing what happened and then will determine if we have to make any changes to our on-court security procedures,” Curry said.
When Nadal finished beating Gael Monfils, the spectator ran out of the stands and approached the Spanish star on the sideline before security guards intervened. It’s the latest in a series of similar episodes at major tennis events, including when a man went up to Roger Federer during the French Open final and tried to place a hat on his head.
“For me, it wasn’t a problem. The guy was really nice,” Nadal said. “He said, ‘I love you,’ and he kissed me.”

Awww it was kind of sweet how he reached for him while the guard dudes dragged him away.

he took that really well. he seems like a really nice guy.

Yeah it was probably innapropriate for the fan to just run up and kiss Nadal BUT, look at the way he handled it. A true champ.

If we hadn't seen Monica Seles get stabbed it would seem more innocent.

It was really funny but again another example of how easy it is to bypass security. For now though, all I wish is that the rain would stop in NY so I can watch Kim and Serena battle it out and see the conclusion of Nadal/Gonzalez QF.
We're in the middle of tiebreak man

true, that was horrible.

Um, folks in my family do that, the men do it to congratulate other men. Weddings, births of babies, and other major celebrations... I'm used to seeing that sort of thing.
