Spain’s Rafael Nadal ramps up his quest for a fourth US Open title with an impressive win over 2014 champion Marin Cilic to advance to the quarter-finals
Rafael Nadal of Spain celebrates after winning a point around the net post against Marin Cilic of Croatia in the fourth round on day eight of the 2019 US Open tennis tournament at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, on September 2, 2019; Flushing, NY, USA.
The second-seeded Spaniard was in cruise control as he took the first set behind some superb serving and stout defence but the big-hitting Croatian battled back to snatch the second. Cilic would double fault later in the game to give Nadal a 3-1 lead and he would never threaten again on a hot and humid night in New York, with Tiger Woods among the star-studded crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium cheering on the Spaniard.
The 33-year-old has had a relatively stress-free time at the tournament so far, dropping just one set and getting a walkover in the second round.
