2022 Australian Open Men's Semifinals: Rafael Nadal vs. Matteo Berrettini

[tented]

I would much prefer listening to Cahill right now than McEnroe.

There you go, Matteo! BH winner!

 

[tented]

SP!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Cahill is commenting for ESPN, but he’s courtside and they rarely let him speak.

Pity he is a great analyser....he was doing some commentary for our Channel Nine

 

[rafanoy1992]

Yikes man! Matteo had a BH slice DTL and it went out!

 

[tented]

OK, Margaret, NOW it’s two sets to love.

 

[Vince Evert]

TENTED did you know that the Australian Open was once shown by CBS ? The mens 1975 final.

 

[Moxie]

Vince, he could serve like a god, for one. Actually, that's all I've got for him. He has no real net game. Serve out of your head and try to break Rafa one game. That might get you a set here.

 

[tented]

No, I had no idea.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

OK, Margaret, NOW it’s two sets to love.

LOL! I know I called it early...it was clear it was going to be 2 sets to love.I will mute until it is MP

 

[rafanoy1992]

Okay guys, what will Rafa do now? Because the real match starts right now for him. I hope he doesn't get tight!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Matteo's dont overuse your bhand slice....honestly?

 

[tented]

Yeah, he needs to keep up this level, and not go on a mini-walkabout.

 

[Vince Evert]

I agree Matt needs to improve his net game and going forward to the net a lot more.

 

[tented]

I don’t think Rafa will get tight, though. If anything I’m hoping he almost treats this as a practice match.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa just has to have his 'eyes on the prize'....do not let Matteo into this match.

 

[Vince Evert]

Just announced the Victorian State Government will increase the attendence to mens and womens' singles final to %80.

 

[tented]

That’s a big increase from 50%.

 

[rafanoy1992]

I don’t think Rafa will get tight, though. If anything I’m hoping he almost treats this as a practice match.

I agree, Tented!

Go for those 100 mph forehand and backhands! No need to get nervous!

 

[Vince Evert]

I reckon Jannick Sinner is going to be a better player for italians than Matteo in 2022.
