Rafael Nadal says he is finally happy with his play at the US Open, defeating Juan Martin del Potro to reach the final.
The top seed dropped a set in the second and third rounds but cruised from there until the semifinals, where he dropped the first set before romping to victory.
Nadal has lifted his game during the tournament.
"I was playing so-so at the beginning of the tournament, and I have been playing better and better every day," the 15-time Grand Slam champion said.
