The US Open is the second-most successful Slam of the Spaniard's illustrious career, with Nadal having lifted the trophy in 2010, 2013, 2017, and 2019. The 36-year-old comes into Flushing Meadows with two of the three Majors of the year in his kitty.

An abdominal injury cut short his campaign at Wimbledon, forcing him to give a walkover to Nick Kyrgios in the semifinals. Nadal did return to action at the Cincinnati Masters last week but fell in his very first match in three sets to eventual champion Borna Coric. That said, the southpaw has a great opportunity to play himself into form at the final Major of the season. Nadal's first-round opponent, Rinky Hijikata, doesn't have much experience at the highest level of the sport. The 21-year-old will be making his main-draw debut at a Slam this time around. The 2018 Youth Olympic doubles silver medalist is currently ranked 198th, with his best performance of the season coming on the ITF circuit, where he won a couple of $25,000 events. He will need to play out of his skin to show the door to one of the greats of the game.
