Nadal booked his place in the second round after his David Ferrer was forced to retire with an injury.
High temperatures have dominated the start of the US Open and young star Stefanos Tsitsipas believes Nadal is best equipped to deal with long matches in the heat saying: “I believe that the one that’s gonna win this tournament is going to be the one that mentally is prepared for long matches in the heat and knows that he’s gonna have to overcome the difficulties of the heat.
“So that’s the guy who’s gonna win the tournament.
“Most possibly I believe it’s Nadal.”
