It's as though Rafael Nadal never left.
If anything, he's playing better than ever.
A year after skipping the US Open because of a bad knee, Nadal powered his way back to the semifinals at Flushing Meadows, overwhelming 19th-seeded Tommy Robredo 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 on Wednesday night.
"I'm sure that's the way I have to play to keep having chances to be successful in every surface, but especially on this one," said the second-seeded Nadal, who is 20-0 on hard courts in 2013. "I was able to do it today. I hope to be able to do it in two days."
On Saturday, Nadal will face No. 8 Richard Gasquet, who edged No. 4 David Ferrer 6-3, 6-1, 4-6, 2-6, 6-3.
