Rafael Nadal Blasts His Way Into Australian Open Final | Defeats Stefanos Tsitsipas Easily
In the above video Nadal talks about his chances before the Semi Final which he easily won
Rafael Nadal eased into the Australian Open final with a snug 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 win over Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Nadal had not dropped a single set in this edition of the Australian Open and he continued that crisp form when he took on the in-touch Greek, wrapping up the win in well under 2 hours.
Tsitsipas, the erstwhile top seed holder from the juniors circuit was upbeat by his fourth-round win over 6-time Aussie Open champion Roger Federer. Tsitsipas was playing in his maiden Grand Slam semi-final and he had to contend with the legendary bull within Rafael Nadal. Tsitsipas is young and needs some more experience to match up with his sublime talent, and no doubt in time he will be taking away those Grand Slams.
Nadal was not in any mood to make the same mistakes as Federer in the earlier round. Nadal was the demolition man on court today as he hunts the 18th Grand Slam title of his career.
Tsitsipas did put up a fight during the second set and there were perhaps moments when one would have thought that he could prevail.
Paandu’s View: Nadal has mastered his changed serving technique in the offseason. In this newly found winning formula his tactic was to serve hard and focus on hitting more first-shot winners. It is this attacking recipe gave no let-up for Tsitsipas, who perished in the 3rd set, going down 6-0. Nadal will now have the luxury of a two-day break before Sunday’s final, where he will be up against the winner of Novak Djokovic vs Lucas Pouille 2nd Australian Open Semi Final. World No 1 Djokovic is the pick from that tie to set up a déjà vous of the 2008 Australian Open Final. However Nadal appears to be confident and his terrific form would be difficult to subdue, whoever he comes up against in the final.
