Rafael Nadal is aware that he did not start well at the US Open, but he reached the round of 16 at the last Grand Slam.
-” I played a little worse here, no doubt. However, this year’s story and results at the Slams are incredible and that helps me. All the victories give you confidence, it’s the moment when I need to take a step forward. The second Sunday starts against such a tough rival as Francis . I have to be ready and I have to raise my level. I know that now is the right moment in the tournament for that,” says Nadal.
“Bull from Majorca” now has 22 Grand Slams in his career, and now only four triumphs separate him from the 23rd title at the most prestigious competitions.
