Nadal stunned by Seppi

Rafael Nadal has crashed out of the AMRO World Tennis Tournament after being defeated by unseeded Italian Andreas Seppi.

Top seed eliminated by awesome Andreas

Rafael Nadal has joined an array of seeded players by crashing out of the AMRO World Tennis Tournament after being defeated by unseeded Italian Andreas Seppi. In what has been a dismal day for the seeded players in Rotterdam, the top seed and world number two fell to a surprise 3-6 6-3 6-4 defeat. Nadal had been the only remaining seeded player in the draw before the second-round match after a flurry of upsets earlier on Thursday. It was a case of third time lucky for Seppi as the 24-year-old recorded his first win over the world number two after failing twice previously. The defeat has opened up the draw and with second seed Nikolay Davydenko, and third seed David Ferrer both eliminated, the tournament is now well and truly there for the taking.
