St. Petersburg, Jan 27, Taras Barabash. Olga Morozova, winner of the 1974 French Open in doubles, said that Spaniard Rafael Nadal, among the other participants in the Australian Open, looks like a wise player who relies primarily on his experience. 20-time Grand Slam champion Nadal will face Italian Matteo Berrettini in the semi-finals of the Australian Open 2022 on Friday. In the other semi-final, Russian Daniil Medvedev and Greek representative Stefanos Tsitsipas will meet. «Nadal pointed out that he had an injury during the quarter-finals with Denis Shapovalov. It could be both muscle and excitement. Among the young guys remaining in the grid, Nadal looks It was very difficult for Nadal, but he won, he is in the semi-finals. When he gave a speech after the match, it was clear that it was even difficult for him to speak. Rafael in the semi-finals relies primarily on experience. This is the main thing for him. It amazes me that he is still improving: I noted this, drawing attention to his technique in this tournament. It delights me — Nadal is still looking for something new, «Morozova said. «When Andre Agassi was already ending his career, he had every step on the court calibrated. All the shots were calibrated, meticulously honed. Nadal does not stop, he changes the game, makes it even more correct. But whether he can recover after five sets is a question. Berre ttini is very sharp and powerful, he has an amazing serve, a powerful whip — it's hard to read on the right. But Nadal can play the Italian under the left. Since we understand this, Matteo knows this for sure and will try to prevent this. The battle will be exciting,» Morozova said.
