Nadal vs Tsonga 2019 Extended Highlights | Rolex Paris Masters

That's wonderful from Nadal. It was just long. I think it was slightly late caught. So that's why Nadal is going to challenge. Oh, and it's in. Just about caught the back edge. Good challenge from Nadal. And again, just dictating behind that forehand wing. Rafa Nadal. And already half a chance perhaps here. 15-30. That's a wonderful service game from Nadal. That's fantastic. Oh, that will give him a huge difference there. Oh, it's a Nadal special to dig himself out of a little bit of a hole there. Oh, and again, that backhand finish right now. Yeah, that was taken nice and early. Good hands from Nadal. Saw him very effective at the net yesterday against Wawrinka. Just about. Oh, his heart would have been in his mouth for a second. Oh, nice. Songa there. Now he's really trying to get the crowd going as well. Oh, some return from Songa onto that backhand. That's great awareness from Nadal. Just saw how deep Songa was. That's a top class first volley. Songa did as well as he could. Saw him below the height of the net. Absolutely magnificent from Rafael Nadal. Had to absorb so much pressure. And you could just sense that he was always going to make that backhand pass. It's amazing defence again from Nadal off that backhand wing. It looked as though Songa was in complete control with the forehand. But once again, Nadal digs himself out of the hole. Dig very deep in set. Just under an hour of real hard work and graft. There was very little separating them. But when the best need to find their best, they so often do. Yeah, he's going to challenge it. But pretty close. Oh, it was very close. Two millimetres in. Oh, dear me. Rafael Nadal really wasn't even needed to be the other side of the court really in that game. Songa set and a breakdown. Oh, the touch is just magnificent from Nadal. A couple of times he's played that drop shot to absolute perfection today. How about this for a bit of magic though? That's lovely from Songa. Saw a number of backhand winners. Oh, wow. That's more like it. Haven't seen one of those for a while. Oh, what a forehand winner. That's a lethal combination from the Frenchman. Oh, my words. That's pretty tasty too. Barely finishes service motion. And that just compounds the misery for Songa. Double break for Rafael Nadal. It was 12 of the last 15 points for Rafael Nadal. And for a fourth time here in Bercy, he books his spot in at least the semi for the two Masters 1000s that he's yet to win. Tungury ready to change that this week. Up against a tricky opponent, Joe Wilfried. Songa has had a great week here in Paris. But Rafa, too strong, too good. And sets up a clash with Denis Shapovalov tomorrow. 7-6, 6-1 in an hour and 35 minutes. Coming up.
