Rafael Nadal targets a fifth US Open and 23rd Grand Slam title in New York from next week as Novak Djokovic clings desperately onto a forlorn hope of even being allowed to set foot in New York.
Rafael Nadal targets a fifth US Open and 23rd Grand Slam title in New York from next week as Novak Djokovic clings desperately onto a forlorn hope of even being allowed to set foot in New York. Nineteen years after making his debut, the 36-year-old Nadal drags his injury-prone body into a tournament he won in 2010, 2013, 2017 and 2019, the year of his last appearance. The Spaniard has had to sit out the US Open four times in his career and there are once again fresh doubts over his physical ability to survive a gruelling two weeks at Flushing Meadows. Since an abdomen injury forced him to hand Nick Kyrgios a walkover into the Wimbledon final, Nadal has played just once -- a first-up loss to Borna Coric in Cincinnati. "I need to move forward and just start to think about the energy that the crowd give me in New York," said Nadal, who has already captured two of the season's three Slams at the Australian and French Opens. "It's a very special place for me, and I enjoy it. There have been unforgettable moments there, and I'm going to try my very best every single day to be ready for that."
John McEnroe believes that Rafael Nadal is now the favourite to end the year as the World no 1.
John McEnroe believes Rafael Nadal is «absolutely the favourite» to end the year as world No. 1 ahead of the last major of the year at the US Open. Nadal — winner of the Australian and French Opens — has shared the major crowns with long-time rival Novak Djokovic in 2022, with the Serb defeating Nick Kyrgios in the final of Wimbledon to take the SW19 title.
John McEnroe has said it would be "a joke" if Novak Djokovic is unable to compete at the US Open later this month due to his Covid-19 vaccination status.
Novak Djokovic dipastikan belum bisa menyamai torehan gelar grand slam Rafael Nadal tahun ini. Itu setelah petenis Serbia dipastikan absen di US Open 2022.
Nick Kyrgios is facing potential legal action for defamation from a woman he accused of being drunk and disruptive at this year's Wimbledon final. During his four-set defeat to Novak Djokovic on July 10, the controversial Australian called on the umpire to eject the spectator. The woman was briefly removed from Centre Court but later returned. Anna Palus accused Kyrgios of making a "reckless and entirely baseless allegation" against her that was broadcast around the world. The player's claim that she "looks like she's had about 700 drinks" caused her and her family "very substantial damage and distress", she said.
The waiting game goes on for Novak Djokovic. After the high of winning his 21st Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in July, Djokovic hasn’t played since then as he has been unable to travel to the ATP Tour's most recent tournaments in Canada and the United States due to being unvaccinated for Covid-19. With a week to go until the US Open starts in New York it is still not clear if Djokovic will be allowed to enter the country and compete, even though the Covid-19 rules have recently been relaxed.
