Rafael Nadal moved into the U.S. Open semifinals, and is the favorite to win his 19th career Grand Slam title.
Rafael Nadal of Spain reacts after winning against Diego Schwartzman of Argentina during their Men's Singles Quarter-finals match at the 2019 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York on September 4, 2019. Rafael Nadal perspired so much during his quarterfinal match with Diego Schwartzman, that it looked like he had jumped into a swimming pool with his tennis kit on.
On a hot and humid night in New York City, and with Manu Ginobili and Saquon Barkley among those on hand, Nadal eventually wore Schwartzman down and prevailed, 6-4, 7-5, 6-2, to advance to the semifinals of the U.S. Open. Nadal now stands two wins from his 19th career Grand Slam title, which would place him one shy of Roger Federer's all-time mark of 20. He has won 25 of his last 26 matches and is into his 33rd major semifinal.
"Today was a very heavy day, big humiidity out here and I am this kind of player that I sweat a little bit," Nadal said on court."So sometimes under these conditions, is tough."Nadal will next meet 23-year-old Italian sensation Matteo Berrettini in Friday's semifinals . In a match that lasted nearly four hours, Berrettini prevailed in an epic five-setter over Frenchman Gael Monfils earlier Wednesday.
No. 5 Daniil Medvedev will face Grigor Dimitrov in the other semifinal on Friday. The championship is Sunday and the winner will take home $3.85 million.Grand Slam titles for the 4 US Open semifinalists:
