When Nadal is healthy, he plays at least 1/4 of the Grand Slam,

The winner of 17 Grand Slam titles and world number one Rafael Nadal will face for the first time non-clay over Dominic Team on the quarterfinals at the US Open. Matadora overcame four sets Nicolos Basiliskvili, and the Austrian made last year`s finalist Kevin Anderson clean. The statistics show that for the fourth time in his career, the incredible Spaniard will play quarter-finals on all of the Chelsea tournaments in one season - he has reached this stage in Australia when he dropped out of injury at the start of the fifth set against Marin Chilich, then won Roland Garros and dropped out of the Wimbledon semi-finals in an epic clash with Novak Djokovic. Rafael`s taco achievement in 2008 (Australian semifinals, Roland Garros and Wimbledon titles and US Open semi-finals), 2010 (Australian quarter-finals, titles in the other three) and 2011 (quarter-finalAustralia, the title of Roland Garros and finals in the other two). This achievement is even more striking when it is t aken into account that over eight seasons Nadal has missed one or two Grand Slam tournaments analyzed by tennis livescore because of an injury - 2003, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016-a. In 2017, he experienced one of his strongest campaigns, winning Roland Garros and the US Open and finishing before in Australia, but dropped out of Wimbledon 4th round by Gilles Muller, who was then in the shape of his life.
