As the Spaniard makes his way over, the match commentators mention that Nadal ‘is not happy with the umpire’ to add to the realistic setting.

‘We’re getting dumplings,’ the Spaniard insists as he looks up to the referee in his chair who comically protests that Nadal ‘ordered Chinese last night’.

Nadal then turns to the camera to announced: ‘Tonight, I will be eating gluten-free dumplings with sesame prawn toast.’
