I do not want to be taken as an excuse. He is playing at a higher level than Im showing now and While not perfect abdominal had won none of the three matchve lost since my return two-Del Potro Djokovic in Montreal, "because it was not yet compete with these at this time. What I have played limited? Yes, three weeks, said the Spanish tennis player who was affected, especially in the serve.

Without removing, at least as I do normally. With good will. The only days I was good of abdominal were two ½ games in Cincinnati. Elsewhere, I have suffered more than necessary. Talk to your doctor before starting the tournament and felt that made the effort here. It is not a major injury but we have to rest and recover. Im calm and happy with how everything went, because after Del Potro has been far superior to me, he insisted.

Nadal went on to argue that the abdominal is no excuse. Played better. I had the knee injury and returned to play at the highest level environment, because if he tried to make a throw he could not open the abdomen. After I have mastered. He has played with great confidence. I could not take advantage at any time. I went to trailer and it;s impossible to win, lamented the Balearic player. Masters of 1000 and spent the abdomen. First appeared in Montreal. I preferred not to talk about the injury until now. I did a survey in Canada and Cincinnati were the pain and edema appeared. The injury has stepped up and has become a small break in two weeks, revealed the Spanish tennis player, who recovered, despite the defeat, the world number two.

I think I started the match well, but I had to change and get into the than I was ready to play now.

I began to suffer, "said Nadal, who explained that their passage through the tournament has suffered from these ailments and has always been conditional.

I have made very positive three tournaments on hard courts, but if I'm realistic in any tournament I have been without something that does not limit me. The abdomen has been killing me since the first week.

Juan Martin del Potro will play the final against the winner between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro, in full explosion competitive, stood for the first time in his career in a Grand Slam final at the expense of the expectations of the Spanish Rafael Nadal (6-2, 6-2, 6-2), whose court was insufficient to extend further its ambitions in the U.S. Open.

The last major course he resists number two circuit. For the second year stayed on the bank of the final. In 2007 slowed by Andy Murray. This, by Argentine Juan Martin del Potro. On both occasions, the victim of hasty push two rackets and a remarkable reputation in the circuit.

Nadal's game fell short at the push of South America, already aware of the potential that encompasses and is definitely convinced of its possibilities. Has matured. His mentality is strong.

Del Potro has between his eyebrows the U.S. Open. No pulse trembled from the start of the game. And whenever he pulled his setbacks great resource. The serve. Every time he threatened her service Nadal, the tennis player from Tandil countered with an undeniable blow.

The third South American to reach a final at Flushing Meadows after Peru's Alex Olmedo, who lost to Australia's 1959 and Neale Fraser Fellow Argentine Guillermo Vilas in 1977, the only one who won the tournament after beating Jimmy Connors, won full return serve, he never lost. When I entered first, won 85 percent of the points. When he had to play with the second, 78.

Nadal, who has faced the problem determined by abdominal its way through the tournament, found the formula for the South American tutear. Never had the mastery of the game. To move from side to side to a huge adversary, capable of reaching solutions, each of the alternatives proposed to the Spaniard.

Always stayed on serve Juan Martin del Potro. While Nadal suffered every time he staged his own. In the first set, the Argentine signed two breaks. He won the rest. Like the second. Nadal had break options with an eyedropper. But the racket of Tandil always overcame two blows.

Lack of pace

The player Spanish, who nonetheless has returned to world number two at the end of the tournament, still suffers from set-up. Seventy days away from the competition because of tendinitis in her knees had returned to Nadal in the competition with a little shooting. And on the surface it evolves with more difficulty. The hard court. Their participation in Cincinnati and Montreal was a warning. He spurted and abdominal discomfort. Which has mediated in Flushing Meadows, their Grand Slam damn far.

Del Potro has been incredible. It's tough playing in these conditions with the abdominal as it was. Given the requirement for a tournament like this. But in any case, we must thank Del Potro, the Spanish recognized the end of the game.

Del Potro, however, rounded off the victory with a crushing home in the third set (3-0), is handled at will in cement. The third Argentine to reach an Open semifinal United States in 2003 after Nalbandian and Guillermo Vilas in 1975 and 1977, whose heritage aims, it has definitely leaning quartet, hitherto inaccessible, the circuit.

Against one of its members, the Swiss Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic, will face at the end of Monday. To recover, his twenty years in the wake of Vilas and become the second South American tournament history to triumph at Flushing Meadows.

Throw out practice to preserve his aching abdominal

These days, the players lounge at the U.S. Open, U.S. Open, is the closest thing to a medical kit. Withdrawals and lameness comes and goes, between bandages and knee. I look around and see many bandaged knees, not only happens to me, pointed, sharp eye, a man named Rafael Nadal, who just now is not sold knees.

On Sunday, Simon and Acasuso left the men tournament, saying caught on high abdominal puncture midway through the third set against Almagro. Grimly the people around you, Rafa Michal Novotny called the trainer, who wrapped the area with a strip of quinesiotape, while Almagro was receiving treatment on his back. When Novotny finished his work, Nadal returned to the track and literally snapped Almagro between races at full speed and hit winners. Did you say abs?

Well, yes: something about Nadal abs. And that something, knees when he clearly lost to Ferrero and Monfils, is true. Venus Williams sank before Clijsters, when he could barely move. Venus dragging the left leg with a bandage almost knee brace. September has come and this is typical this late in the season, notes Darren Cahill, coach Fernando Verdasco: it also has problems with wrist, feet and abdomen. "Abs, we have said?

Nadal say: that, indeed, suffered a probably has to do with the mechanics of the kick, or all together began with the famous knee pain and lack of momentum. Of course the mechanics of service has something to do with the stress on the abdominals: yesterday, well trained Rafa orders but did not bring Uncle Toni. If Rafa does not want to talk about injury, neither did I said the same Toni Nadal. While earning wins.

Verdasco, OK; Robredo,KO

Isner, Roddick executioner, this time scored 13 aces, but Verdasco was much more solid and signed 40 hit winners. In the quarterfinals, Verdasco is measured to the winner of Djokovic-Stepanek. Earlier in the Ashe, Federer ruthlessly eliminated Tommy Robredo: 7-5, 6-2, 6-2.
