Norrie was unexpectedly the first to win a series of opponents (3: 2), but lost the lead in the next game (3: 3). In the twelfth game, R. Nadalis broke 40: 0, won the second “break point” and finished the set victorious.
At the start of the second set, the British neutralized two break points (2: 2) and held on until the sixth game when they lost their series. In the eighth game, R. Nadal once again realized a “break point” and staged a 4: 0 streak. Norrie neutralized two break points again at the start of the third set and this time he played the opponent until the twelfth game. When it looked like extra time was needed, Norrie couldn’t handle the tension at the decisive moment, falling behind 30:40 and losing the decisive ball he played.
Rafael Nadal’s comment:
An Italian will be waiting for R. Nadal in the eighth final Fabio Fognini (ATP-17). He 6: 4, 6: 3, 6: 4 surpassed Australia Alexą from Minaurą (ATP-23).
In Melbourne, Nadal could become an all-time record holder by winning Big Cross men’s singles tournaments. The Spanish currently has 20 titles and shares the first place with the Swiss Rogeriu Federeriu. It is true that for Nadal, the Australian Open is the worst of the Big Cross tournaments. Here he triumphed only once, in 2009.
The total prize fund of the Australian Open amounts to 80 million. Australian dollars (approximately 51 million euros).
