Any one got any that can beat this?

Nadal will next face compatriot David Ferrer, the fourth seeded Spaniard progressing when Germany’s Philipp Kohlschreiber withdrew from the tournament with vertigo.

In Rome on a clay court, am I missing something?

    Vertigo isn't a fear of heights. It's a balance disorder usually caused by problems in the middle ear. Not something you could have while playing Tennis i should imagine.

    Acrophobia is the fear of heights. Although for a moment, I did wonder if the tournament was being held on top of a mountain.
