Rafael Nadal moved one win away from a record 21st Grand Slam men's title after a dominant start enabled him to beat Italy's Matteo Berrettini in the Australian Open semi-finals.
Rafael Nadal overcame seventh seed Matteo Berrettini to reach the Australian Open final and close in on a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam singles title. The Spaniard, who is eyeing a historic major title in improbable fashion, brushed the big-hitting Italian aside in four sets, 6-3 6-2 3-6 6-3, on Rod Laver Arena in what ended up being an inspired semi-final win. Ad/> A few months ago, the 35-year-old did not even know if he would be in Australia to participate after struggling with injuries over a sustained period ahead of the tournament.

John McEnroe thinks it would be “unbelievable” if Roger Federer could return to his highest level again – but does not want to see him on tour playing at “80 per cent”. Federer, 40, returned from a lengthy lay-off in March last year but only played 13 matches before shutting down his season. Ad/> He has since undergone another knee surgery and has suggested he will not be ready to return in time for Wimbledon this year.
The tennis ace's attempts to circumvent Australia's strict COVID-19 rules came to an end earlier this month when a court unanimously dismissed his challenge of a government minister's decision to cancel his visa. Djokovic said he was "extremely disappointed" by the ruling, but respected it. Three Federal Court judges upheld a decision made by immigration minister Alex Hawke to cancel the Serbian's visa on public interest grounds, because he is not vaccinated.
