Horacio Zeballos denied Rafael Nadal a fairytale finish to his comeback tournament, beating Spain's clay court king 6-7
7-6 6-4 in the ATP tournament in Chile.

Nadal was playing his first tournament in more than seven months after knee surgery.

Zeballos became just the third player -- along with Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer -- to beat Nadal in a clay court final, quite an achievement for the Argentinian despite the fact that Nadal was playing his first tournament since Wimbledon in June last year.
