US Open: A look at 5 big upsets in the last decade

#2 2015 Third Round: Fognini beats Nadal 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4

Fognini beats Nadal at 2015 US Open

Rafael Nadal made a bright start to his face-off against Fabio Fognini in the third round of the 2015 US Open, where he led by two sets and a break in the third. But the Italian seemed to momentarily stall Nadal's victory bid by taking five of the last six games to take the third set.

Trailing two-sets-to-one, Fognini faced an uphill task against a player who had never lost a Grand Slam match on 152 previous occasions after taking a two-set lead.

The Italian failed to rein down his unforced errors but produced more winners to take the match to a decider where Fognini thrice led by a break, only for Nadal to recover the break back in the very next game each time.

Fognini's heavy hitting forced a fourth break of the Nadal serve in the fifth set. The Spaniard was powerless to retrieve the break and the Italian held serve to record one of the finest wins of his career to reach his first fourth round at the US Open.

Defeat to the Italian ended Nadal's record of winning a Grand Slam in ten consecutive years.
