Rafael Nadal has requested not to be officiated at the French Open by umpire Carlos Bernardes after the pair fell out during the Rio Open in February.

Bernardes handed Nadal two time violations for exceeding the 25-second limit between points and the Spaniard was visibly frustrated as he went on to lose to Italian Fabio Fognini in Brazil.
