The two tennis icons are currently in New York preparing for the US Open and crossed paths on the practice court.

The 36-year-old said that he felt lucky to share the tour with Serena for so long and that she is an inspiration to a lot of people. “Plenty of memories,” Nadal said. “She is one of the greatest sports [people] of all time. I feel lucky to share a tour for a long period of time with her. Of course, from a selfish point of view it’s sad that she’s leaving the tour but, on the other hand, we can’t thank her enough for all the things that she did for our sport.” “I think she’s an amazing inspiration for a lot of people around the world and I think she deserves to choose whatever works for her better at this stage of her life," he added. "So I wish her all the best.” Following his early exit at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, Nadal will compete at the US Open as the second seed following the withdrawal of Alexander Zverev. The Spaniard will be among the favorites to win the tournament and has a fair chance of doing so if he has recovered from the abdominal injury that he suffered at Wimbledon. Nadal has won the US Open four times and if he triumphs in New York this year, he will equal the tallies of all-time Open Era leaders Roger Federer, Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors. It would also be the second year in his career that the Spaniard has won three Grand Slam titles (after 2013).US Open Tennis@usopenGood morning from @RafaelNadal 6184403Good morning from @RafaelNadal https://t.co/gVO5iym9lE Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Keshav Gopalan × Feedback Thank You!
