Rublev looks like he's about to pass out

I'm trying to understand why Tsitsipas' forehand and backhand speed is so much slower on Nadal's serve. I don't just mean on returns either. Every point his shots lack pace but on his own serve it's a different story.

now he’s turned it around

He looks like he has more energy than Nadal now and he's carrying himself like he believes he's gonna win the match. He's held his own serve pretty easily in the 4th and had Nadal on the ropes on most of his service games.

This game is close as hell. Nadal might be going out.

What a win!!! To beat Nadal after being 2 sets down at 22 years old.

This kid cares about the game. I hope he wins the tournament. What a comeback.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

I can already see people making excuses on social media, saying how Tsitsipas had a few days extra rest due to his previous opponent forfeiting. People just can’t give credit where it’s due.

Not sure how mnay times I have seen someone come from 2 sets down against Nadal. Very impressive!

Novak Injury going to seem like it never existed over these next 2 games

Didn't think Tsitsi had that in him, took the game out of Rafa's hands, clean striking throughout, congrats to him.

Gotta face Medvedev who has a 5-1 h2h records against tho then possibly Djoko, tall ask...

This was only the second time in 225 Grand Slam matches that Nadal lost after being up 2 sets to zero.
