Rafael Nadal leaves press conference with cramp, no complaints over shock AO defeat – Wide World of Sports
‘Out the door so that there were no more jokes’
Rafael Nadal entered his Australian Open quarter-final with a 223-1 record when grabbing the first two sets of a Grand Slam match.
Thanks to his own mistakes — and some spirited play by Stefanos Tsitsipas — that mark is now 223-2.
A couple of uncharacteristically sloppy overheads and a framed backhand in a third-set tiebreaker began Nadal’s undoing, and his bid here for a men’s-record 21st major championship eventually ended Wednesday with 3-6 2-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 7-5 loss to the younger, sharper Tsitsipas.
