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

[MargaretMcAleer]

Vamos Rafa and good afternoon everyone!

 

[Moxie]

Hey, Margaret!

 

[tented]

Good afternoon, Margaret!

 

[tented]

Rafa up a double break. Wow, couldn’t have written this better for him.

 

[Vince Evert]

OH dear. What did i say? We're looking at a 0-6 second set , my friends.

 

[Moxie]

Rafa is doing to Matteo what he's done to Roger: if you break down the BH, the FH starts to fall apart. Matteo is falling into his trap.

 

[tented]

You did call it, Vince.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

No way Margaret. Keep Roger, Rafa and Djokovic tied.

Boo .....my best friend is a Roger fan and she wants Rafa to win....so there lol!

 

[rafanoy1992]

Matteo is not serving well either, yikes!

 

[Vince Evert]

OK but that's not all there is, he's a half a step slow because the previous match vs Monfils is taken it's toll.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

How is Hewitt? I’ve never heard him commentate.

He is good,not like Drama King Jim Courier he needs to be rested from the AO...I am over him

 

[Moxie]

That was one of the main things he had to do, and it was a question mark. I said he has not been imposing in this tournament. Unless he starts serving Rafa off the court, he's not going to take a set.

 

[Vince Evert]

Yeah Courier and also Sam Smith need to learn to button it on some of these points. They do rave on.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Here we go, 0-30...

 

[Moxie]

The short stuff is going to be punished, and it was.

 

[tented]

You should listen to McEnroe. His idea of commentating is to speak without cessation.

 

[Vince Evert]

Aww two backhands dumped in the net, not a good sign.

 

[Moxie]

Rafa is breaking down his shoulder. This is not an accident.

 

[tented]

Good serve to get to 40-30

 

[rafanoy1992]

Why are you slicing that backhand, Matteo?!
