Rafa Nadal: "Last year saw the U.S. Open on television;
now I can play and that's incredible "
The Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal, who just recovered the second in the ATP world rankings, said he has the "right attitude" to play the U.S. Open which starts on Monday and missed last year by a knee injury . "Last year saw the event on television, this year I have the opportunity to play and that's incredible," said the Spaniard at a news conference during the celebration of the Arthur Ashe Kid's Day, an event that serves as the opening of the tournament and she visited the U.S. first lady, Michelle Obama. Nadal acknowledged that is having a season "unbelievable", and reaching the final Grand Slam of the year "with the right attitude," something that "never would have thought" last February, when he returned to racing after seven months away from the tracks due to a left knee injury. Asked if it was difficult to see last year's U.S. Open final in which they could not participate, the Manacor responded with a resounding "no". "It was a strange feeling because most of the times I've seen the finals of a Grand Slam has been on TV," he laughs. Return unstoppable since his return in February, Nadal has been nearly unstoppable on the hard court, which traditionally felt less comfortable, and treasure and fifteen victories over such surface so far this year, a successful return that takes to qualify it as one of "the most emotional seasons" of his career. His last victory at the Cincinnati tournament gave him the points needed to oust Andy Murray and back in second place in the ATP ranking, although the Spaniard prefers not to talk about a struggle to be number one and reiterates that is focused on the day to day. The next test you will face will be on Monday at the start of the tournament which takes place in New York, where you will need to measure American Ryan Harrison and could challenge yourself to Roger Federer in the quarter-finals after the draw for the pairings. It is also assumed that Roger and I were going to reach the quarterfinals at Wimbledon "I do not think that, in Wimbledon also assumed we were arriving (in the quarter)," said the player on the hypothetical match with Federer, remembering that in that tournament both fell before. The busy Nadal press conference was preceded by, among others, the world number one, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer, now relegated to seventh place in the ATP, two players who stressed the successful return of Mallorcan tennis player. "By now it has been the best player this year, no doubt about it," Djokovic said. If done with this Grand Slam, Nadal would win a total of $ 3.6 million, since, in addition to the 2.6 million who would pocket the tournament, receive a bonus of another million for having done this year with the U.S. Open Series sponsored by Emirates Airline.
