Can Rafael Nadal win the US Open this year?
He is capable, for sure.
And he is desperate (read determined) as well, as the year's last Grand Slam happens to be the only major title that the Spaniard is yet to win.
Nadal admitted recently that winning his first US Open is not out of question.
"It's very special. I've won the other three, so if I win that it's going to be a complete cycle," he was quoted as saying.
But it is easier said than done, for there are a lot of factors working against the Spaniard.
A year which started on a bright note, with Nadal winning the Australian Open -- another major that had eluded him -- in dramatic manner over rival Roger Federer, witnessed the Spaniard dominate the first half, winning a plethora of clay court titles -- including big ones at Monte Carlo and Rome -- till he hit a roadblock (named Robin Soderling) at the French Open.
It has been a been a downhill since.
