Wonder how Rafa got to 19?
That's because he cares just as much as if he was still 19.#USOpen | ?: @doublefault28 pic.twitter.com/UiNaNTFh58

So many players ¡ª not to say every single player in the world ¡ª would have allowed this match to slip away from them.
But not Rafael Nadal Parera.
Perhaps the most meaningful win of his career, and that says quite a lot.#USOpen pic.twitter.com/TBJdegfLrH
