Has it been though? They've both greatly fluctuated throughout the entire match. Maybe I'm jaded but I'm not sure I'd call it quality. High drama sure.

HOW??? THIS DEFIES ALL LOGIC!?
On paper Rafa is clearly the better player. Even mentally, he's the better player. He has more experience, he feels more comfortable in these big moments. What is going on???

Against younger player, the older player will always feel challenged and pressured. Pressure showed there. However, holding his serve will not be easy for Tsitsi. Let's see if he finishes the job here.

Rafa is physically and mentally spent. He Will never win another Australian Open. He's been very tentative this entire set, making things very easy for Tsitsipas. Stefanos didn't even need to do much to break in the fifth set.

What am I witnessing?
I have to take back about the support and entourage I suppose. It really does take a man and a team to beat Nadal for these youngsters.

Nadal needs to be proactive this game, take control before Tsitsipas who will definitely be nervy right now.

Keep a calm head. He can do it.
