Spaniard Rafael Nadal became the winner of the US Tennis Open Championship. In the final of the tournament in a male single category, he defeated Serb Novak Jokovic with a score of 6: 4, 5: 7, 6: 4, 6: 2.
The winner of the US Open in the men's category was to decide on Sunday, but the clarification of the relationship between Nadal and Djokovic was postponed due to the rain. However, now the rain almost confused the cards to the organizers and participants - in the middle of the second set, the game was stopped and it was possible to resume it only after a little more than an hour and a half.
Having won the final of Dzhokovic, Nadal won the third of the four Big Slam series tournaments this year. In addition to US Open, he submitted to Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Another tournament - Australian Open - won the Swiss Roger Federer.
Interestingly, Nadal's open championship won for the first time in his life. But now in his collection there are trophies collected from all the “Big helmet” tournaments.
“For me it was a dream - to get a career“ big helmet ”, but my biggest dream was to win US Open. It is sometimes difficult to believe in this: I always worked a lot here, but I did not imagine that I would have prizes of all the “large helmet” tournaments.
My last goal will be the victory at the final ATP tournament. It seems that this is the last major tournament that has not yet submitted to me. Indeed, for me these are the most difficult competitions, because it will have to play in a closed room. On such arens, the coating is very fast, so it will be very difficult. And at the same time, this is a challenge for me to become even better and win. This is what I will do this year. The most important thing for me is to complete the year better than in the previous seasons, ”Championship.ru quotes.
