2019 Australian Open Semifinals: Nadal vs. Tsitsipas

[Vince Evert]

Nighttime from here on out, right?

yeah. Young Stefanos is not able to get into Nadal's service game to this point.

 

[AnonymousFan]

Three BPs for Nadal!

 

[Vince Evert]

oh dear even lucky netchords favouring the spaniard. Its not going to be Stefanos night.

 

[Moxie]

OMG, net cord heartbraker for the kid. But he saves one BP.

 

[AnonymousFan]

Saves all three!

 

[Moxie]

HUGE hold for the kid.

 

[Jelenafan]

The kid has fight.

 

[britbox]

Good tennis from young Stefanos. That'll be a huge boost for him coming out of that game from 0-40.

 

[Moxie]

The kid has fight.

I don't want to see him go down too easy, just go down tonight.

 

[Vince Evert]

Saves all three!

yeah hopefully that will be a confidence builder but at this point his ROS is what he's struggling with to make inroads on.

Well that is some hold. Just in total survival mode and came up with the goods. Dug out that volley at deuce. DUG it out.

But Nadal is just astonishing right now. That around the net shot. That just never gets old. Ever. It still just ... takes your breath away. No one does it like him.

 

[Vince Evert]

If the kid can improve on his returning game , or Nadal goes off on his serve and groundies, Stefanos could acheive a BOS and get back into this.

 

[Moxie]

Stefanos seems to have gotten his legs under him. (My autocorrect doesn't like his name, irritatingly.)

 

[Vince Evert]

4-4 all now, Damn,

 

[Vince Evert]

just not able to get into any nadal's serves.

 

[AnonymousFan]

Two BPs for Nadal!

 

[Vince Evert]

DAMN,

 

[AnonymousFan]

Broken! Too good.

 

[Moxie]

Nadal seems to be finding the virtue of quicker play. He's doing fine and choking off the opponent.

 

[DarthFed]

Pathetic stuff from Tsitsipas. Got a long ways to go to be good, kind of like the rest of next gen
