AO 2019: Tsitsipas is finished in the semifinals against Nadal

After the hard-fought eighth-final match of the Australian Open 2019 against Roger Federer, which the young Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas won, he was full of joy and euphoria. He was also able to shine against the somewhat unknown Agut in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, but in the semifinals against tennis great Rafael Nadal was clearly over. Against Nadal's brilliant passing shots, his strong serves and his convincing winners, Tsitsipas did not stand a chance. Nadal was clearly of a different caliber. He almost embarrassingly punished him with only three sets (6:2, 6:4 and 6:0) right in front of everyone. Tsitsipas has made a name for himself as a great talent of the young generation at the Australian Open, but against a Rafael Nadal he looked small and powerless, which rather shows how strong and unchallenged Rafael Nadal is on the road at the moment. The 2019 Australian Open semifinal between Stefanos Tsistsipas and Rafael Nadal was a right show of power by the elite Spanish player. When Nadal is in form, hardly anyone stands a chance. Rafael Nadal thus moves into the final of the Australian Open 2019. Who will play him will be decided in the semifinal match on January 25, 2019 between Novak Djokovic and the number 30 in the world rankings, Frenchman Lucas Pouille.
