NEW YORK (AP) — Rafael Nadal cut himself on the bridge of his nose with his own racket when it ricocheted off the court on the follow-through from a shot, leaving himself bloodied and dizzy during his second-round victory at the U.S. Open.
Rafael Nadal was left baffled by his own “terrible” start before securing a comeback four-set win over Fabio Fognini at the US Open. The 22-time Grand Slam champion advanced to the third round at Flushing Meadows, but only after he dropped the first set 6-2 and then lost his opening three service games in set two. Ad Fortunately for Nadal, he had broken Fognini twice to only trail 3-2 early in the second set, and two more breaks then helped the Spaniard level the match.

The 22-time Grand Slam champion was left bleeding in the fourth set when his racquet bounced off the court and hit him in the face after stretching to play a backhand. Ad He required a medical timeout and held a bottle to his nose before the treatment, which resulted in Nadal playing with a plaster for the remainder of the match.
