NEW YORK, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- World No. 1 Rafael Nadal looks to earn a rare important place in tennis he's never been -- the finals of the U.S. Open.
Nadal owns eight Grand Slam titles but he's never advanced to the finals of the U.S. Open. He'll have a chance to change that Saturday when he goes against 12th-seeded Mikhail Youzhny in the tournament semifinals.
