Rafael Nadal is safely through to the second week of Wimbledon after his win over Italian Lorenzo Sonego on Saturday. However, there was a moment of controversy when Nadal called his opponent to the net exchanging a few words during the match.

The Spaniard came out on top in straight sets but did not seem too pleased with his opponent’s shouting later in the match. The pair would later have another go at it after the match exchanging words for the second time on Centre Court.
