U.S. Open: Nadal crushes Millman
Three times champion Rafa Nadal denied John Millman any chance of posting another fairytale run in New York as he cruised the Australian 6-3 6-2 6-2 in the first round of the U.S. Open on Tuesday.
“Always at the beginning the first match everything is a little bit new, even if I have played here plenty of times. The beginnings are not easy. Nadal, who last year retired from his semi-final with a knee injury after several grueling matches, was a model of efficiency in his opening match of the year’s final Grand Slam.
But Nadal, who denied that he was not ready to serve on time, did not let the incident knock him off course as he went on to close out the set in the ensuing game.
