After falling to Mardy Fish in Cincinnati, Rafael Nadal said he's concerned that his burned fingers may not be 100 percent in time for the U.S. Open. The Spaniard scorched fingers on his right hand when he was handed a hot ceramic plate.

"I don't want to talk about the backhand because [my fingers are burned], so I didn't have the chance to practice the backhand and I didn't have the chance to play normal backhand,” the left-handed Nadal told reporters. “I don't know if I will be in perfect conditions in New York, but for sure everything I will try. Fingers stays a little bit so-so. Fingers are not easy. Hopefully going to be okay for New York.… I don't know why the people from the restaurant didn't tell me that the plate was that hot."
