Nadal through to the semi-final at the US Open after two comebacks from Schwartzman

Rafael Nadal became the last semifinalist in Flushing Meadows after winning against Schwartzman 6-4, 7-5, 6-2.

After Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic dropped out, Nadal became the biggest favorite at the US Open. Nadal was able to win the US Open in 2017 and will now try to follow up on his good form on hard courts this season after winning in Montreal.

The Spanish King of clay was leading 4-0 in the first set, but Schwartzman was able to level the score and even had 2 break balls to get to lead. But he failed to take advantage of it, and in the next game, he lost the serve and Nadal won the first set 6-4.

In the second set, the scenario was repeated. Nadal led 5-1, but the Argentine again leveled the score to 5-5. However, Rafa showed his experience again and won the set 7-5. He dominated in the last set and won it 6-2.

Nadal will meet Matteo Berrettini in the next round, who defeated Gael Monfils in a five-set battle in the quarterfinals.
