Rafael Nadal vs John Millman
Rafael Nadal faced John Millman in the first round of the US Open. Second seed Nadal, a three-time US Open champion, won Montreal a few weeks ago and seems ready to compete in the US Open. Millman, who made the quarter-finals last year and defeated Roger Federer in the process, is clearly playing comfortably in New York City. Millman was able to make that run last year by playing extraordinary tennis and counter-blows. He will not be able to do that against Nadal, who has exceptional fitness and a high ability to turn defenses into offense. Nadal won comfortably. Nadal in 3.
