Nadal lowered the 'pupil' for 96 minutes, Federer appointment in the semifinal

The world No. 1 tennis player did not lose much of his strength after the win, like 6-1, 6-2, 6-2, ahead of Andrey Rublev.
"He taught me a lesson: 1, 2 and 2," said Rublev, the youngest American quarterfinals player since Andy Roddick in 2001, right after the match.
The 19-year-old Russian is also considered Nadal's student. Because he used to practice at the academy of "clay king" in Mallorca. The distance between the teacher and the student is not short when the two match in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2017. "I will have to train austerely to improve everything, so it will be difficult for him," Rublev. added.
Rublev is really overwhelmed by Nadal. The No. 1 seed proved to be sublimating and fluttering ahead of the semi-finals, but the teenager put his head on the noose. He had seven double faults in only 11 serve-ups, and 43 self-inflicted errors, resulting in a 36-minute one-hour battle. In it, the two players only took 23 minutes to complete the first set.
With the third consecutive match not to win over four opponents, Nadal is sitting at the top and waiting for opponents to challenge, whether Federer or Del Potro. "Nadal plays better every day," coach Carlos Moya commented on his students. "Some of Nadal's recent matches are too good. He was quite nervous at the beginning of the tournament, but that problem has vanished and now he can play with all abilities. "

"Maybe I will go out for dinner," Nadal joked when asked what he would do when the Federer-Del Potro match took place. "Joking, of course I can not miss that battle".
