Rafael Nadal awaits Daniil Medvedev in the AusOpen final
It is also the second year in a row he has made the final at Melbourne Park, having lost to“I don’t think bad emotions help me too much,” he said afterwards. “Many times I lose the match because of this. As soon as I’d done it I was like, ‘That was a big mistake’, but I’m happy I managed to re-concentrate at the beginning of the third set. I tried my best and I’m happy it worked.”
This was their ninth meeting and second in a row in the semi-finals here, with Medvedev winning comfortably 12 months ago after Tsitsipas’ big victory over Nadal. “His father can talk every point,” screamed Medvedev at Jaume Campistol. “Are you stupid? I’m talking to you, look at me. How can you be so bad in the semi-final of a grand slam?”
Tsitsipas and Medvedev are very different tennis players as well as people and this was a compelling contest between the aggressive, flashy Greek and the defensive skills of the second seed.
