Did I hear that right?

I was just half-watching the tennis and I could have sworn the commentator said that Rafael Nadal had had "two mystery turns" this set. And of course I'm imagining that's he's had some sort of seizure, not once but twice, maybe his tongue lolling out, foaming at the mouth and twitching, some tourettes as well. But a split-second of thought tells me that he'd had "two missed returns". D"oh!

In a similar vein, earlier today I was driving and half-listening to the radio and they were talking about a racehorse whose name, somewhat improbably, was "A Patchy Cat".
