Russia (bbabo.net), - Former World No. 1 Spaniard Rafael Nadal has reached the final of the Australian Open after beating Italian Matteo Berrettini in four sets.

35-year-old Nadal in Melbourne shows that over the years his game certainly does not get worse. And reaching the final of the Australian Open is the best confirmation of this.

In the semi-finals, Rafa faced Matteo Berrettini from Italy, who is 10 years younger than his opponent. And it seemed that the Italian, having an advantage in age, should approach the match less tired, but already in the opening game, Nadal showed who was in charge on the court - 6:3.

In the second set there was even less fighting. Nadal outperformed his opponent on his serve and caused a lot of problems on someone else's. As a result, Berrettini faltered – 6:2.

And only in the third installment the Italian managed to revive the intrigue in the match - 6:3, but in the next game Nadal removed all the questions - 6:3, he is the first finalist of this tournament. In the decisive match, he will meet the winner of the meeting between Russian Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas from Greece.
