Rafael Nadal slammed the door shut on the
future when he emphatically ended the run of Stefanos Tsitsipas at the
Australian Open and silenced his hordes of new fans.
The
32-year-old Spaniard gave his challenger an object lesson in the
standards he needs to reach with a brilliant, relentless performance in
their semi-final that saw him win 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 in just an hour and 46
minutes.
Nadal was utterly unforgiving
from the off, and was left awaiting the winner of Friday's second
semi-final between Novak Djokovic and Frenchman Lucas Pouille in what
will be his fifth Australian final.
