Nadal Wins Principe of Asturias Sport Award
"It’s an incredible honour for me to receive the ‘Principe de Asturias Sport Award’. I’m extremely grateful to the jury and everyone else who chose me as it’s an achievement greater than usual, it makes me feel proud.

"Even for the fittest player in tennis, the rigors of months of tournaments — and a recent return from the Olympics — take a toll. On Monday, the first day of the United States Open, the weariness showed in Rafael Nadal. In his first Grand Slam match as the world’s No. 1 player, Nadal needed three hours and two tie breakers to defeat the qualifier Bjorn Phau, 7-6 (4), 6-3, 7-6 (4)." http://usopen.blogs.nytimes.com) This was a very close match.
