Rafael Nadal vs Rinky Hijikata live streaming: When and Where to Watch US Open 2022 R1 match in India?

Rafael Nadal will begin his quest for his 5th US Open title when he faces Australia's Ricky Hijikata in his opening round clash on Wednesday (August 31). Nadal has won the US Open in 2010, 2013, 2017, and 2019. With no Novak Djokovic -- due to his Covid-19 vaccination status -- the onus is now on Nadal to stretch his lead in terms of most Grand Slam titles in men's singles (22). He is one ahead of the Serbian and the Spaniard will look to add another title under his belt.

Nadal is a frontrunner to lift the US Open 2022 title in the men's singles. While he still has a lot to play for despite Djokovic's absence, the 36-year-old will aim to start off on a good note and not give any chances to the Australian wildcard Hijikata. Given that the US Open has already seen some upsets -- with Stefanos Tsitsipas and Iga Swaitek bowing out with their respective opening round defeats -- Nadal will aim to make a strong start on the hardcourt event.
