“If you want to get to the quarters at the US Open, you have to play better.”

Nadal’s run at the US Open comes to a halt in the quarterfinals. The Mallorcan was beaten by Tiafoe in four sets (6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3). No apologies, Nadal admits Tiafoe’s superiority: ” I played bad and he played good. If you want to get to the quarterfinals of the US Open you have to play better,” his words reported by Marca.

The 36-year-old Nadal also added more: “I need to come home. I need to fix things, life, so I don’t know when I will come back. I will try to come back ready mentally, when I decide. Right now what I need to do is go home, I have much more important things to take care of than tennis,” Nadal’s own closing remark.
