US Open [Men], 2022 - Grand Slam

Typical! Nadal drops a set and needs a medical timeout! Something has to be wrong if he even loses a point I guess! Novak does it, it's gamesmanship! The hypocrisy's mind-numbing! Nadal was allowed 10 minutes! WTF? Carlos usually keeps Nadal within the rules! ;-(

Difference is Nadal has an injury while Novax just disappears for no reason for 10 mins to go to the

2 SPs to get the 2nd set. Vamos!

Well played by Tiafoe to save the first one.

Nads waits until the 5-4 game to figure out how to return. Takes the set 6-4. Poor Frances

 

[tented]

Wow, DF by Tiafoe, and Rafa grabs the 2nd set.

Good time for Nadal's first break of the match. With help from Frances.

So, except for Gasquet, he has dropped the first set in his other matches. It has become an annoying habit.

If Foe has a hangover, he could steamrolled here

I’m glad that Nadal managed to win that second set but the match is far from over I feel that it will remain very close. Unfortunately I won’t be able to watch the rest of the match.

 

[tented]

Honestly, I don’t remember Rafa having this bad a day returning. He’s had some stinkers, but today … wow. Truly awful.

Foe breaks Nadal and goes up 4-3 in the 3rd set.

Set #3 goes to Foe. He is now up 2 sets to 1. Rafa is going to have to go the distance to get this done.

Rafa is in big trouble

Agreed. But can Frances go 5 and keep his level high enough to eek out the win? Unfortunately I won't be around to see.

Foe has to get the crowd going.

Rafa escapes that game...

He doesn't look like he will be dropping his level anytime soon.

Are they are playing with the roof or without?

They're closing it now. FYI it's not raining in NYC yet, but it's coming.
