Rafael Nadal needs a set to take the measures to the Australian born in 2001 Rinky Hijikata and above all to the playing conditions, not exactly easy to manage in the final part of the US Open day-2.
The four-time champion of the tournament, on the hunt for the twenty-third Slam pearl and above all for the top of the ranking, leaves the first set on the road but does not make any other particular changes to the project between the second and fourth sets.
On the contrary. The very Spanish champion, who appears to be in total control of the matter at least in his own batting rounds. Third and fourth sets proceed roughly on the same track, with the Spanish champion who harpoons the break in both cases at the start and who at the threshold of three hours of play fixes the success at 4-6 6-2 6-3 6-3 despite the final part of the match is played under the roof due to rain.
