Whether one likes it or not. It's nowhere near a Slam, but still is bigger than Masters 1000 tournaments. It's a bit silly to consider it an exho just because a favourite player does not win it.
I still maintain that WTF isn't extremely important in the grand scheme of things for Nadal even if he never wins it. But, one can't deny that it would make for an even better resume for him if he could win it.
This year was unfortunately another missed opportunity for him. His slow start against Zverev really ruined his chances. He looked good by the time he played Tsitsipas, but it was too little too late. Still this was a phenomenal year for him at his age.
