Nadal Falls in Semis to Del Potro

by Chris SesnoFiled under: U.S. Open, ATPRafael Nadal had absolutely no chance against Juan Martin del Potro in the U.S. Open semifinals on Sunday. The Spaniard lost in straight sets to del Potro (2-6, 2-6, 2-6) and seemed to be bothered by his nagging abdominal injury. With Nadal unable to put everything into his serve and forehand, del Potro was simply taking target practice out there as he crushed 33 winners past Nadal. The No. 6-seeded del Potro was content to sit behind the baseline and rally it out with the injured Nadal, who wasn't moving well and had absolutely no answer for del Potro's strong first serve. The Argentine won an amazing 79% of points when he got his first serve in.
