Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and other "big three" have been traversing the men's tennis scene for nearly 20 years, and have formed a strong championship background, which is more and more obvious to the end and the more it is reflected in the key time.
The Australian Open men's singles Nadal and Berrettini fought, although Berrettini was 10 years younger than Nadal and the impact was stronger, but in the face of Nadal's strong foundation, he was completely defeated. As far as this game is concerned, Nadal's heritage is mainly reflected in three aspects:
One is psychologically. Nadal and Berrettini met in the 2019 US Open semifinals, when Nadal swept 3-0. With this history, Nadal was unusually confident and inevitable in this game, while Berrettini appeared to be less confident and even showed timidity before the game.
Two in tactics. Nadal seized on the weakness of Berrettini's backhand, resolutely hit the opponent's backhand, and suppressed Berrettini's backhand to death, making the Italian make a series of mistakes, thus firmly grasping the initiative of the game.
The third is on the key ball. Nadal was very old-fashioned in the handling of key balls, patient and tenacious, while Berrettini was a bit frizzy, especially in the last set of mistakes and voluntary disarming.
After beating Berrettini, Nadal reached the Australian Open final for the sixth time in his career, which will hit his double Grand Slam and 21st Grand Slam titles. Whether the opponent in the final is Medvedev or Tsitsipas, with this giant heritage, Nadal's hope of finally winning and making history is relatively large.
Judging from Nadal's state at this Australian Open, physical fitness is a major fatal flaw for him, especially in the third and fourth sets of the game, and the problem of physical decline is very serious. In order to win the championship, facing the stronger Medvedev or Tsitsipas, the Spanish king must find a way to solve this problem well!
