On January 28, Beijing time, the Australian Open men's singles semifinals, the No. 6 seed Nadal against the No. 7 seed Berrettini. As a result, Nadal eliminated his opponent in four sets and reached the Australian Open final again after 3 years, only one last victory away from surpassing Federer and Djokovic's 20th Grand Slam men's singles title.
Nadal had the best chance of winning the 21st title in this competition, because the strongest opponent Djokovic failed to participate, and the big seed Zverev in the first half of the zone was upset. Nadal is looking forward to reaching the Australian Open final for the sixth time, having won just one title in 2009. Berrettini reached the Australian Open Semifinals for the first time and reached the Grand Slam Men's Singles Semifinals for the third time.
In the first set of the campaign, Nadal entered the form extremely quickly, and even broke the belt to take the lead. The experienced Nadal did not give his opponent any chances afterwards, and with a break advantage, he successfully entered the set and won the set, and then won 6-3. In the second set, Nadal completed the break at the beginning of the game, Berrettini's mentality was a bit broken, the subsequent serve did not bite, the missed set was again broken, After Nadal took a 4-0 lead, the suspense of the second set disappeared again, and Nadal steadily entered the serve to win the set, 6-2.
In the third set, the desperate Berrettini let go of a fight, and finally completed a crucial break in the 8th set, and then won the set and chased back a set 6-3. In the fourth set, Nadal was unmoved, and also completed the break in the crucial 8th set, and then entered the serve to win the game, Nadal did not miss the opportunity, after winning 6-3, successfully advanced to the final!
Nadal, only one last step away from making history! In the eyes of many people, Djokovic is the most promising to win the most Grand Slam men's singles titles when he retires, but the big change at the Australian Open has left Djokovic behind. Nadal, on the other hand, became the ATP giant with the best hope of winning the 21st crown first. Once Nadal wins the final, he will surpass the number of Grand Slams of Federer and Djokovic, take the initiative in the GOAT battle, and most crucially, Nadal will also achieve the honor of double Grand Slam, close to writing 2 new histories.
