PARIS (Reuters) - A Roland Garros final against Rafa Nadal should have been the highlight of Spanish warrior David Ferrer's career. Instead what he got was a "strange" match featuring driving rain, invaded by "strange" people "without clothes on" and he will now "strangely" be ranked above Nadal despite finishing second best.

At least it wasn't a dull day in the office for a man who was contesting his first grand slam showpiece at the ripe old age of 31.
