Reporter Congratulates Rafael Nadal on Win After Loss to Roger Federer

Rafael Nadal lost to longtime rival Roger Federer in Sunday's Miami Open final. Following the shortcoming, he fielded a question about his big "win."

A reporter congratulated the tennis star on his victory and asked if he's "ready to give it another try" despite getting eliminating.

Rather than admitting her blunder when Nadal corrected her, the interviewer instead defended her inquiry by saying, "I know, but it's a win anyway."

Nadal did not seem to agree.

The actual winner, Federer, jumped to No. 4—a spot ahead of Nadal—in the men's singles ATP rankings.
