Nadal leads the ATP World Tour with 51 wins on the season and he’s trying to reach the 4R at the US Open for the 9th time. He is 8-2 in 3R matches. Mayer, who took the place of Milos Raonic in the main draw, is the first lucky loser to reach the 3R in Flushing Meadows since Flavio Cipolla in 2008. Mayer, who won the Hamburg title on July 30 as a lucky loser, is 1-24 lifetime against Top 10 opponents (0-13 on hard courts and 0-8 in Grand Slam play). • In the night session, Federer takes a 12-0 record against No. 31 seed Feliciano Lopez. Federer has survived two five-set matches to advance to the 3R in Flushing Meadows for the 17th time. He is 15-1 in 3R matches with his only loss coming in his 2000 debut (l. to Ferrero). Federer is 32-1 in night matches at the US Open, the best record since 1980. Lopez, who will turn 36 on Sept. 20, is playing in his 16th straight US Open and 63rd Grand Slam tournament in a row. Federer is the all-time leader in men’s tennis with 65 consecutive Slam tournaments played, which ended at Roland Garros last year. Lopez was a quarter-finalist here in 2015. • On Louis Armstrong Stadium, No. 30 seed Adrian Mannarino plays Thiem, who has won all five previous meetings against the Frenchman. Mannarino is 3-22 lifetime against Top 10 opponents (0-9 in Grand Slam play) and he is trying to reach the 4R here for the first time. He advanced to the 4R at Wimbledon twice (2013, 2017). Thiem, who reached the semi-finals for the second year in a row at Roland Garros in June, is aiming to reach the 4R here for the 3rd time in 4 years. In the next match, Goffin and last year’s US Open semi-finalist No. 18 seed Gael Monfils square off for the 3rd time (tied 1-1). They split both of last year’s hard court meetings. • On Grandstand, unseeded Viktor Troicki brings a 2-1 head-to-head record against Alexandr Dolgopolov, who last reached the 4R at the US Open in 2011. Troicki is trying to reach the 4R for the first time. In the next match on, Bautista Agut and del Potro meet for the third time (tied 1-1). Bautista Agut, who won the Winston-Salem title, is trying to reach his 10th Grand Slam 4R, his best result. The Argentine is 20-5 this season against opponents ranked outside the Top 6 (0-6 vs. Top 6). • On Court 5, Damir Dzumhur plays NextGenATP Russian teenager Andrey Rublev, who is coming off his first career Top 10 win over Dimitrov. Both players are trying to reach their first 4R in a Grand Slam event. On Court 17, No. 33 seed Philipp Kohlschreiber looks for his second win in as many meetings against John Millman. 2017 US OPEN – Day 6 Media Notes Saturday, September 2, 2017 Page 2 of 17 ARTHUR ASHE STADIUM [1] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs [LL] Leonardo Mayer (ARG) Nadal Leads 3-0 12 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells (USA)Hard R64 Rafael Nadal 6-1 6-3 13 Acapulco (Mexico) Clay QF Rafael Nadal 6-1 7-5 14 Roland Garros (France) Clay R32 Rafael Nadal 6-2 7-5 6-2 [1] RAFAEL NADAL vs [LL] LEONARDO MAYER 31 (6/3/86) Age (Birthdate) 30 (5/15/87) No. 1 (No. 1 on 8/18/08) Emirates ATP Ranking (Career-High) No. 59 (No. 21 on 6/22/15) Manacor, Mallorca, Spain Birthplace Corrientes, Argentina Manacor, Mallorca, Spain Residence Buenos Aires, Argentina 51-9 (24-7) 2017 Record (on hard) 9-3 (2-0) 857-183 (405-124) Career Record (on hard) 139-140 (53-67) 4 / 73 2017 Titles / Career Titles 1 / 2 221-33 Career Grand Slam Record 28-28 48-10 (2010, 2013 Champion) US Open Record (Best Result) 8-6 (2012, 2014, 2017 3rd Round) 19-10 (2-2) Career 5th-Set Record (YTD) 3-3 (0-0) 3 Comebacks from 0-2 Down 0 211-135 (11-4) Career Tiebreak Record (YTD) 81-75 (4-4) $86,289,532 Career Prize Money $4,505,035 Uncle Toni Nadal/Carlos Moya Coach Mariano Hood [1] RAFAEL NADAL Grand Slam History • Second all-time with 15 titles and 22 finals at Grand Slams (Federer: 19 titles, 29 finals) • One of 3 men to win a Grand Slam title in teens, 20s and 30s (also Sampras, Rosewall) • Only man or woman in Open Era to win a Grand Slam event 10 times (Roland Garros) • Owns records of 79-2 at Roland Garros and 102-2 in best-of-five-set matches on clay • Dropped 35 games en route to 2017 Roland Garros title (d.

  • Nitto Atp Finals Complete Record-Breaking Attendance Across 2017 Atp World Tour Season
    22 November 2017 NITTO ATP FINALS COMPLETE RECORD-BREAKING ATTENDANCE ACROSS 2017 ATP WORLD TOUR SEASON LONDON – The 2017 Nitto ATP Finals brought a spectacular close to a memorable 2017 season that saw more fans come out and watch the world’s best tennis players on the ATP World Tour than ever before. More than 4.5 million fans attended ATP World Tour events in 2017, an all-time record. The season finale in London attracted a total attendance of 253,642, including six sold-out sessions, making it the ninth successive year that the tournament has broken the 250,000 attendance mark. Cumulative attendance since the tournament moved to London in 2009 stands at more than 2.3 million fans. This year’s tournament saw a host of three set-matches across the eight days of competition in a tournament that pitted established stars such as Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer against some must- see newcomers at the season finale. The event culminated with Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov’s dramatic 7-5, 4-6, 6-3 win over Belgium’s David Goffin in the final. The 31-game final equaled the second most games played in a three-set final in the history of the tournament, with only John McEnroe’s win over Arthur Ashe in 1978 longer (34 games). Dimitrov became the first champion to win the title undefeated on his tournament debut since McEnroe in 1978. The Bulgarian collected a total of $2,549,000 in prize money and 1500 Emirates ATP Rankings points to finish the season at a career high No.

    2017 US OPEN Flushing, New York, USA | August 28-September 10, 2017 Draw Size: S-128, D-64 | $50.4 million | Hard www.usopen.org DAY 10 MEDIA NOTES | Wednesday, September 6, 2017 FEATURED MEN’S SINGLES QUARTER-FINALS ARTHUR ASHE STADIUM [1] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs Andrey Rublev (RUS) First Meeting [3] Roger Federer (SUI) vs [24] Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) Federer Leads 16-5 DAY 10 HIGHLIGHTS • Eight years and four wrist surgeries since ending Roger Federer’s 40-match US Open win streak, Juan Martin del Potro returns to Arthur Ashe Stadium for a rematch. The Argentine is 5-16 against Federer with all five wins on hard courts, none more meaningful than when he rallied from a set-and-a-break down to deny Federer a sixth straight US Open title. Del Potro can prevent history from being made again as Federer and Rafael Nadal are one win from meeting for the first time at the US Open. The Swiss and Spaniard have been this close six times now, including in 2009, when del Potro defeated Nadal 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 in the semi-finals before beating Federer in the final. • Nadal’s quarter-final opponent on Wednesday is #NextGenATP player Andrey Rublev. The 19-year-old Russian is the youngest US Open quarter-finalist since Andy Roddick in 2001. Rublev would be the youngest semi-finalist at the US Open since Lleyton Hewitt in 2000 and at any Grand Slam event since Nadal at 2005 Roland Garros. A teenager has never defeated a World No.
