Tennis fans tuning into Rafael Nadal's latest match at SW19 were left bemused by the Spanish star's painstaking on-court rituals, which include obsessively touching his body and hair multiple times - and adjusting his shorts - ahead of every serve. The world number four, who yesterday saw off player Botic van de Zandschulp in straight sets on Centre Court, has famously relied on the same ritual throughout his 20-year career - but observers watching his latest performances have questioned whether the athlete has recently added even more touches to his quirky regime. With two grand slams in the bag already this year, and the title potentially just a few matches away, it's unlikely Nadal, who's now 36, is going to stop his superstitious touches anytime soon.
