Nadal battles through

AFP, Newyork
World num-b e r one Rafael Nadal battled his way into the US Open quarterfinals Monday, outlasting 55th-ranked Sam Querrey 6-2, 5-7, 7-6 (7/2), 6-3 to match his best career showing at the Grand Slam event.
The reigning Wimbledon, French Open and Olympic champion is trying to become only the fourth man to win three Slam singles crowns in a row, joining Pete Sampras, Rod Laver and the man he dethroned atop the rankings, Roger Federer.
"Very tough," Nadal said. "I'm very happy for the victory. Now I'm in my best round at the US Open and I hope to play better in the next round."
But Nadal struggled in the face of an epic effort from lanky US 20-year-old Querrey, who nearly made his fourth-round Slam debut a shocker for the ages and cast major doubt upon whether or not Nadal has what it takes to win a US Open.
"He had to earn that third set and fourth set," Querrey said. "It's nice to know he actually had to go out there and fight for it rather than me handing it to him."
The 22-year-old Spanish lefthander bids for his first US Open semifinal against 35th-ranked American Mardy Fish, who matched his best Slam run from last year’s Australian Open by defeating France's Gael Monfils 7-5,6-2,6-2.
"He's a dangerous player. He's playing very well," Nadal said. "He's playing with big confidence and I have to play very well if I want towin."
The other quarterfinal on Nadal's side of the draw will send British sixth seed Andy Murray against the hottest player on tour, Argentina's 19-year-old Juan Martin Del Potro.
The South American won his 23rd match in a row, beating Japan's 18-year-oldKei Nishikori 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 to advance, while Scotsman Murray ousted a friend, Swiss 10th seed Stanislas Wawrinka, 6-1,6-3,6-3.
"It's always tough playing against one of your friends," Murray said. “But this is the quarterfinals of my favourite tour-nament and I had to put the friendship aside."
Murray, who reached his first Slam quarterfinal this year at Wimbledon, assured a rise to fifth in the world with the triumph. He beat Del Potro in May on Rome clay in their only prior meeting when his foe retired in the third set.
Querrey fired 20 aces and 52 winners at Nadal but made 50 unforced errors to fall short after
three hours and 13 minutes at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
"At the start I was a little nervous but after an hour 1 was hitting my shots pretty good," Querrey said. "I was just taking my forehand and trying to rip it as hard as I could. He'sjusttoo good."
Nadal broke Querrey in the third and seventh games to take the first set in 31 minutes, but in the second, Querrey answered a Nadal break in the seventh game by breaking at love with Nadal serving for the set to equalize at 5-5.
Querrey held and ripped a forehand cross-court winner to grab two break points on Nadal in the 12th game. Nadal netted a forehand on the next point and the fight was on.
"It was very difficult, especially after my big mistake in the second set," Nadal said. "I was playing normaL Nothing special but nothing bad."
Nadal broke to open the third set but Querrey answered in the eighth game, breaking back on Nadal's fifth double fault to set up the pivotal tie-breaker.
Nadal jumped ahead 3-1 in the tie-break when Querrey sent a forehand wide, then won the final four points, three on errant shots by the American, to take the set. jumping for joy when a Querrey backhand went long to seal the set.
"1 served very bad in the second set but the important thing was I played my best in the tie-breaker," Nadal said.
Querrey, who won his first ATP title last March at Las Vegas, was down 4-2 when he forced seven break chances in the seventh game. But Nadal yanked each back from the brink, tension growing with every rescue until two errant Querrey forehands allowed Nadal to hold for 5-2 and he held again to end it.
"If I could have battled through that game and got back on serve, you never know," Querrey said. "The longer the match went on the more free I was on my forehand. It was feeling good, especially in the fourth set.”
If Fish has anything to say about it, another battle awaits Nadal,
