The second seed improved against France's Richard Gasquet but was overpowered by Tiafoe in front of a raucous home crowd in New York. The US Open, which he was bidding to win for a fifth time, was only the second tournament he had played since pulling out of the Wimbledon semi-finals with an abdominal injury.Īfter an opening defeat by Borna Coric in Cincinnati, Nadal went to New York and was never fully comfortable in his opening two wins. The loss to 22nd seed Tiafoe was Nadal's first defeat in a Grand Slam this year. Nadal is scheduled to be playing in the Laver Cup, alongside Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, in London from 23-25 September. When I feel that I will be ready to compete again, I will be there." I need to fix things, life, then I don't know when I'm going to come back," said the 22-time Grand Slam champion.
