Nadal vs Wawrinka Madrid 2019 Highlight

Oh, that's what he does so well. Yeah, that one just gobbled up. Oh, beauty. Stand and deliver. It's already the second stunning backhand down the line we've seen from Stan the Man. That's good. He might just be turning the screw at this stage. He gets the break. It's eight to the last nine. Striker watching on. And he's watching Rafa strike early. The king of clay. Just moving through his full repertoire of skills there. Great angle on the first one. Look at the bite on that. He needed to keep that number high. He's racing through this first set. He's doing so well. Just grinding Babrinka down and the racket gets it. Right in the corner. Rip it and rip it. It's all going to plan right now. Big first serve there. History. And he one-sided. Slam dunk. Another point swatted away. 11th consecutive service. He's under pressure, Babrinka. The fifth straight service game where he's gone to love 30. And that becomes love 40. Nadal is on the charge. Well, he's been under pressure again. He's made just two of seven bullseye. He fancies this game. Missed it. Well, it was fired close to the line. The umpire goes to check it. And he's happy that it was wide. But as you could see, it was narrow. Does he feel like it's not going to be his night? Rock and roll. Rafa. Special tennis from a special player. Babrinka ball here. Two or three forehands that might have been winners against mere mortals. Here's another trick up his sleeve. Rampant Rafa. And it's a standing ovation. Away this goes. And Rafa Nadal. Smooth sailing into the semifinals for the super Spaniard. He will be here for the weekend's festivities. He usually is here in Madrid. And once again in the capital. He is making a big play for the trophy. We thought tonight would be a really stern test. But Rafa had other ideas.
