The Serb had some great words for the youngster, praising his game and skills he has shown in the last 12 months. Also, he had to mention the fourth round clash between Tsitsipas and Roger Federer that the youngster won 6-7, 7-6, 7-5, 7-6 after a titanic struggle that lasted three hours and 45 minutes, saying it was one of the best matches he ever had a chance to see in Melbourne.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is one of the leaders of the new generation, he has played some outstanding tennis at this tournament, especially against Roger, that was one of the best-quality tennis matches that I have seen here over the years, all credits to him for playing so maturely and so well.
It is never easy to play under pressure, you know, against the greatest player of all time on this court where he has won many times, so credits to Stefanos for getting into the semis. Considering how well he has been playing, Im not surprised he is in the semis, he has been playing some terrific tennis in the last 12 months.
About Nadal.. good forehand, a lot of spin, very good serve, great movement, amazing backhand, great volleys, he is just too good (laugh).
