Rafael Nadal baffled by ‘unusual’ and ‘terrible’ start to comeback win over Fabio Fognini at US Open 2022
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.
