(MENAFN - Gulf Times) Stefanos Tsitsipas ended Rafael Nadal s Grand Slam record bid in five gripping sets yesterday as home hopes were dashed when top-ranked Ashleigh Barty was knocked out in the Australian Open quarter-finals.
Greece s Tsitsipas looked down and out after losing the first two sets but after edging the third he was a different player, taking the upper hand over a subdued Nadal to win 3-6, 2-6, 7-6 (7/4), 6-4, 7-5.
Tsitsipas, 22, stunned Roger Federer in the 2019 last 16 before being halted by Nadal in the semis, but he turned the tables to set up a last-four meeting with Russia s Daniil Medvedev.
