Rafael Nadal of Spain reacts after a point against Matteo Berrettini of Italy during their Singles Men's Semi-finals match at the 2019 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York on September 6, 2019. Riding a massive forehand and a first serve that regularly reached the low-130-mph range, Matteo Berrettini put a major scare into Rafael Nadal in the U.S. Open semifinals.
"I survive at that moment and finally I had a break…And after that the match completely changed. I started playing with more calm and a little bit more aggressive. I’m super happy to be back in the final of the U.S. Open." They have met just once, with the Spaniard putting a 6-3, 6-0 beating on the Russian in the finals in Montreal last month.
NEW YORK, USA - SEPTEMBER 06: Daniil Medvedev of Russia celebrates after men's singles semi-final match against Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria during US Open Championships at Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York, United States on September 06, 2019. In the first semifinal, Medvedev showed few signs of the wear and tear on his body that has caused him to wear tape on his left knee.
"But of course it helps a lot that I played three lefties before with completely different style, all of them," he said."Kind of getting used to it. If Rafa wins, it's going to help me.""I mean, anything's possible," Dimitrov said."You get the chance to be in the final, so you got to leave everything out there...I think absolutely he's got a major shot.
