RAFAEL NADAL KING OF TENNIS

2022 Australian Open R4 Rafael Nadal bt. Adrian Mannarino  7-6(14)  6-2  6-2 

Next - Denis Shapovalov 

Rafa: "The first set had been very, very emotional. Anything could happen there. I was a little bit lucky at the end.

Everybody knows how mentally [tough] this game is. It was a tough one and after that crazy first set, I think it was so important the break at the beginning of the second set.

His ball was very difficult to control, very flat, very fast. I’m very happy that I survived that first set, without a doubt.

Shapovalov is a player with amazing potential. Everybody knows that when he’s playing well, it's very difficult to stop him with [his] big serve, amazing forehand, and very quick.”
