Rafael Nadal took a break from tennis at the China Open in Beijing to play some pool with Chinese swimmer Ning Zetao. Not surprisingly, the talented Spaniard was not half bad, eventually winning the contest.

It's always a treat seeing Nadal do anything competitive, even if it doesn't involve a racquet.
