Rafael Nadal stands one win away from a men’s record 21st Grand Slam title subsequent to overwhelming Italian seventh seed Matteo Berrettini 6-3 6-2 3-6 6-3 on Friday to arrive at the Australian Open final.
A success for Rafael Nadal in Sunday’s final against either Daniil Medvedev or Stefanos Tsitsipas will break a three-way attach with Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer and give him sole ownership of the record for most Grand Slam singles titles.
With downpour bucketing down outside, the 35-year-old Nadal made a quick beginning under the shut top of the Rod Laver Arena and took control by breaking Wimbledon finalist Berrettini’s serve from the get-go in every one of the initial two sets.
Berrettini at long last woke up in the third and began compelling Nadal back with his forehands, a break of serve constraining a fourth set.
The Spaniard got the significant break in the eighth game as the Italian’s natural blunders expanded and another error permitted Nadal to change over his first matchpoint after a fight that endured two hours and 55 minutes.
