Nadal triumphed in New York for the third time on Sunday afternoon, lifting the trophy once again following a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 rout of Kevin Anderson.

Nadal used unusually strong and well-placed returns to break Anderson four times and he almost kept up with the 6'8'' South African in the winners department (32 to 30 in Anderson's favor).
