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

[Moxie]

Here we come...Rafa serves for the set.

Matteo is not serving smart at all. Most of his serves are going to Nadal's strike zone. Gotta have Nadal guess on the return.

 

[Moxie]

Fantastic serve!

 

[Moxie]

Rafa causing himself trouble, here.

 

[tented]

40-0 to 40-30 - ugh

 

[tented]

Deuce. Oy …

 

[Moxie]

He let him get to that FH. Bad.

 

[Vince Evert]

Come on Matt, break serve NOW and win this thing in three sets !

 

[Moxie]

There it is!! First set.

 

[Vince Evert]

Awwww MOXie.

 

[rafanoy1992]

That's a bad serve from Nadal right there. Matteo took it advantage there.

Nadal went back to his bread and butter!

6-3 for Nadal...

Long way to go though!!!

 

[tented]

Hello, Vince!

 

[Vince Evert]

OK Matt Berrettini the italian stallion comes back and wins in 4 set.

 

[Moxie]

What, Vince? And hey, good to see you.

 

[Vince Evert]

Hey Mox. Likewise, we missed you SO MUCH yesterday in the womens' semis.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Let's see if Matteo wakes up a little bit.

As for Nadal, return of serve will be key once again

 

[Moxie]

I want to see Nadal pressure it.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Wow, Matteo! 0-30 already...

 

[Vince Evert]

BTW you didn't miss much as both women's semifinals were fairly ordinary. Two of the worst back-to-back i've ever seen in the GS in 43 years i been watching tennis !

 

[Vince Evert]

I fear Matt looks too flat and not recovered enough from his Monfil's marathon.
