The US Open draw is a done deal. Rafael Nadal’s first opponent will be Denis Istomin (ranked 107th in the world) of Uzbekistan.
Seeded fourth in New York, our champ is placed in the same half as world number one Novak Djokovic and could meet the Serb in the semi-finals.
Projected quarterfinals:
- Novak Djokovic vs Marin Cilic
- Rafael Nadal vs Milos Raonic
- Stan Wawrinka vs Dominic Thiem
- Andy Murray vs Kei Nishikori
Rafa’s potential route to the final:
- 1st round: Denis Istomin
- 2nd round: Stephane Robert or Andreas Seppi
- 3rd round: Lucas Pouille
- 4th round: Roberto Bautista Agut
- Quarter-final: Milos Raonic
- Semi-final: Novak Djokovic

The main draw play starts on Monday.
GOOD LUCK & VAMOS RAFA!
Rafa, just BRING IT ON!
RAFA ROCKS
It’s a cakewalk until the qf. I expect rafa to struggle nonetheless during these first 4 rounds. If he makes it to qf then he will be praised here as if he did something miraculous, while shooting tomato cans is not (as very well pointed out by jeremy ekstein when analyzing rafa’s disappointing olympic performance in singles). He will not beat djoko for sure though. He does not believe he can and neither does his team.
I think it is good, and he Will be able to go far! He can dued!!!!!gogogo Rafa, U S Open gonna be waithing!!!!
