Encountering Juan Martin del Potro is a high-dose test for Rafael Nadal after easy victories in the first four matches.

Rafael Nadal 3-2 Del Potro

Both players entered the game cautiously and stayed safe in the serve games.

However, in the 12th game, Nadal once again showed his bravery at the decisive moment.

Even though he was behind, Del Potro still played quite stubbornly in set 2. The Argentine continued to compete with his opponent game by game.

Nadal struggled to win a ticket to the semi-finals.

Perhaps because they understand each other quite well, the sets between Nadal and Del Potro always have to wait until the end to have a breakthrough.

Being forced into a position where he had to win the last two sets if he wanted to continue, Nadal rose up.

In set 5, Del Potro once again slipped while trying to hit the ball persistently with Nadal.

The physical battle ended with Nadal winning.

The 2009 US Open champion showed great effort in the final games.

With Federer eliminated, Nadal’s chances of winning the championship increased.
