Andy Roddick analyzed Rafael Nadal‘s US Open prospects in detail. Roddick explained: “It is difficult to predict how the US Open 2022 will go, since the draw has not even been drawn. I think Daniil Medvedev has all the credentials to get to the bottom.
He is the defending champion and has shown that he is very happy. on the fields of Flushing Meadows The big question mark concerns the state of form of Rafael Nadal. He only played one game after retiring from Wimbledon and did not shine against Borna Coric.
The Masters 1000 in Montreal and Cincinnati had unexpected winners: in the first Carreno Busta triumphed, while in the second the number 150 ATP was imposed. For the first time in a long time, I think there are more question marks than certainties.”
Rafael Nadal’s US Open 2022
At the time of writing, the absence of Novak Djokovic seems almost certain. Although the CDC has equated vaccinated and unvaccinated in internal treatment, the rules at the border have not been changed for the time being.
The main draw draw will take place on Thursday 25th August. Rafael Nadal seemed close to retiring a few months ago, thanks to the persistent pain in his foot that had limited him even last season. The former world number 1 has shown incredible resistance to pain, managing to win the Australian Open and Roland Garros against all odds.
Thanks to the help of Dr Cotorro, the Spanish phenomenon also tried to win Wimbledon, but a tear in his abdominal muscles prevented him from playing the semi-final against Nick Kyrgios. The 22-time Grand Slam champion returned to action in Cincinnati last week, exiting the scene as early as the second round at the hands of Borna Coric.
The 36-year-old from Manacor knows he is still far from top form, but he is training hard to get ready for the US Open. Given the probable absence of Novak Djokovic, the Iberian will have a great chance to win his fifth title in New York and reach 23 Majors.
