Australian Open quarter-final: Rafael Nadal vs Stefanos Tsitsipas match preview

Greek hopeful Stefanos Tsitsipas will be geared up to take on long-time rival Rafael Nadal at the quarter-finals of the Australian Open 2021. Having upset Roger Federer to reach the semi-finals of the tournament in 2019, Tsitsipas will look to recreate his 12-break point saving performance and pull off another big win to reach the semis once again. The World No.5 defeated Gilles Simon in straight sets before overcoming local boy Thanasi Kokkinakis in a mammoth five-setter.

A quick match against Sweden's Mikael Ymer and a walkover from Matteo Berrettini means that Tsitsipas should be well-rested as he comes into this match. The youngster will be aiming to make it to his first-ever Grand Slam final at the Australian Open 2021. This, as he goes up against Rafael Nadal, 28-time Grand Slam finalist and 20-time Slam winner who is aiming to make men's tennis history with a 21st championship crown. Having been sorted into a relatively easier draw, Nadal has powered past each of his opponents without dropping a single set. He has played Serbia's Laslo Dere, Michael Mmoh, Cameron Norrie and Fabio Fognini to set up this meeting.

This will be the 8th career meeting between Nadal and Tsitsipas. Nadal currently leads the H2H between the pair with a dominant 6-1 record.

Nadal vs Tsitsipas prediction

Going by the numbers and the history between both players, this match should be one of the more well-fought ones between the two in recent years. We predict Nadal winning this in 4 sets. The winner of this match will face the winner of the Rublev vs Medvedev match in the semi-finals.
