The 22-time Grand Slam winner beat the Australian 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Playing for the first time in three years in New York, the 36-year-old bounced back strong after dropping the opening set. During the contest, John McEnroe, on commentary duty, criticized Nadal for not obeying the serve clock rule - which states that every player has 25 seconds to serve.
