Australian Open 2021 – Wednesday 16th Feb. 2021 – Quarterfinal
Stefanos Tsitsipas vs 
Rafael NadalNadal is 6-1 against Tsitispas, and the last time they faced off Down Under, in the 2019 semifinals, Rafa won 6-2, 6-4, 6-0. But hidden within that unsurprisingly one-sided history are a couple of interesting nuggets. Tsitsipas’s lone win over Nadal came on clay, which should tell us there was nothing flukey about it. And the last two times they played, Tsitsipas took a set before losing in three. All of which means we’ve reached that moment we seem to reach so often in the men’s game these days: Can a Next Genner make a breakthrough against one of the Big 3 in a Grand Slam? And again, I’m going to guess the answer is no. Tsitsipas may be ready, but Nadal has played his way into the tournament and looks prepared to peak at the right time.
