Rafael Nadal closing in on U.S. Open title

By Mike RoseSeptember 13, 2010

Rafael Nadal leads Novak Djokovic, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4.

Nadal is one set away from his first career U.S. Open title. He would also become just the seventh man to claim a career Grand Slam.

This could be history in the making at Flushing Meadows.

But Djokovic has battled all night. He won't go away easily.
