    Is history going to repeat itself?

    Rafa Nadal led Stefanos Tsitsipas by two sets last year in the Aussie Open quarter-finals.

    Tsitsipas battled back to beat a fading Nadal in five.

    It didn't feel likely an hour ago, but now? All the momentum is with Shapovalov, and there's a question over how physically capable Nadal is of going five in this heat.

  3. Game and fourth set - Shapovalovpublished at 06:47 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2022

    Nadal 6-3 6-4 4-6 3-6 Shapovalov

    We're going five!

    What a brilliant display of serving that was from Denis Shapovalov.

    Three first serves in a row and a big second out wide and we are, after three hours, into a fifth set.

    Shapovalov finally gets his nose in front and earns himself set point with another ace.

    Another good serve from Shapovalov, and he's ready and waiting for the one-two punch!

    Deuce.

    Nadal 6-3 6-4 4-6 3-5 Shapovalov*

    Ace!

    30-40. One more chance for Nadal.

    Ooh, that's a miss from Shapovalov!

    Two break back points for Nadal!

    Nadal 6-3 6-4 4-6 3-5 Shapovalov*

    That's more like the Shapovalov from this set as he cracks a forehand winner into the corner of the court.

    15-30.

  9. Postpublished at 06:44 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2022

    Nadal 6-3 6-4 4-6 3-5 Shapovalov*

    Hmm, and now a wonky-looking backhand goes out from Shapovalov.

    0-30.

    Nadal 6-3 6-4 4-6 3-5 Shapovalov*

    Shapovalov sends a forehand long first up.

    0-15.

    Both players rip down a pair of backhand winners, before Shapovalov sends an attempted lob just - and I mean just - over the baseline.

    Nadal rifles through the final few points to hold, and ask the question of Shapovalov.

    Here we go.

    Nadal asks for some ice towels at the changeover and then blasts his face with the air conditioning unit.

  14. Shapovalov a game away from setpublished at 06:37 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2022

    *Nadal 6-3 6-4 4-6 2-5 Shapovalov

    Denis Shapovalov, completely unbothered by what is going on at the other end, leaps into a forehand winner for 30-0.

    Nadal mixes up a pair of winners with a missed return, going for the lines as much as he can, but he chips a good Shapovalov serve long.

    Nadal will have to serve to stay in this set.

    Nadal needs something from his locker. That and "no bueno" was all me and my Duolingo-inspired Spanish could pick up.

    (Other apps are available.)

    Nadal is chatting to the umpire in Spanish and he's now back on his phone.

    Nadal 6-3 6-4 4-6 2-4 Shapovalov*

    I wouldn't say Nadal is moving entirely freely, but he gets some glorious hits away into the corners to keep Shapovalov on the run.

    Nadal is desperately trying not to get drawn into rallies, and a forehand winner briefly tends the tide of Shapovalov's streak.

    *Nadal 6-3 6-4 4-6 1-4 Shapovalov

    Nadal has the cool air blasting into his face at the changeover, taking a few deep breaths.

    It looked as though it was more illness-related, rather than muscular? The trainer didn't administer any treatment, anyway.

    The doctor has also arrived for Nadal and is giving him some medication.

    Nadal has indeed called for the trainer.

    He seems to be touching and gesturing towards his left side.
