Tennis player Rafael Nadal, just two games away from entering the history books of the industry, and being the first ever to lift the 21st trophy in his career at the Grand Slam, having advanced to the Australian Championship semi-finals this morning (Tuesday).
The 35-year-old Spaniard, who has not won a tournament in Melbourne since 2009, met Dennis Spovalov (14) in the quarterfinals, who made a lot of heartbeats for Landal who lost two sets but knew how to recover in time and win the dramatic game with 3: 6, 4: 6, 6: 4, 6: 3, 3: 6.
For the bull from Mallorca, it will be the seventh time in total that he reaches the status of the last four in Australia, and the first since 2019 then stopped in the final, when this time he hopes to go all the way and collect his second trophy.
Whoever tries to stop Nadal in the next game will be the winner in the meeting between the seventh-ranked Italian from Matteo Bartini, and the Frenchman Gal Monfis (17).
In the women’s, Madison Keys was the first to secure her place in the semifinals.
The 51st ranked American in the world, overtook the Czech Barbara Krajikova (4) with a light 3: 6, 2: 6 in an hour and 25 minutes, while scoring points in 77 percent of her first submissions.
Her next rival will be determined by the winner in a meeting between Ashley Barty (1) who will want to continue to bring pride to the local crowd and Jessica Pegola (21), who will try her part to surprise in order to reach the American derby in the next stage.
