Rafael Nadal just can't seem to keep his shoes on. During his opening round at the China Open, the Spaniard's footwear went flying while battling against Lucas Pouille. This is the second time that a Nadal sneaker has fallen off during a point in recent memory.
Despite the slip, the world No. 1 pulled off a captivating match, coming back from a set down and saving two match points to defeat Pouille, 4-6, 7-6 (6), 7-5.
He will face Karen Khachanov in the second round.
