Nadal loved knowing his friend Woods was watching in the stands.

“To play in front of Tiger is a very special thing,” Nadal said. “I’ve always said that I don’t have idols, but if I did, I would have to say that one idol is him.

“It means a lot to me to have him supporting. He’s an amazing inspiration, all the things that he accomplish on the sport, the way that he managed to keep fighting that hard.

“Have him supporting and be able to be in touch with him very often for me is something that I am super happy — and I hope one day we can play golf and tennis together.”

After his magical shot at the 2019 US Open, Nadal beat Cilic in four sets to advance to the quarterfinals.
