There is no doubt that this is one of the Grand Slam events to watch out for right, but it will also be great to take a look at the players who have made this tournament what it is today.

Nadal's epic winner that surprised everyone in 2019

The 2019 US Open was one of the best tournaments for Rafael Nadal where he also went on to win the tournament that year. That was Nadal's fourth US Open title which he won by beating Daniil Medvedev in a five-set thriller. But one of his best winners came in his 4th round match against Marin Cilic, where out of nowhere Nadal went on to play a shot which came from around the net. The shot was enough to get the whole crowd cheering for the Spaniard. Some people were surprised as to how he managed to win a point from there at all. In the end, this was perhaps one of the best shots we had ever seen from the King of Clay which no one will forget at all.
