An epic battle between two players who gave everything on the court to gain access to the quarter-finals of the Roland Garros 2022. Eventually Rafael Nadal managed to prevail after five tough sets to Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, coached by his uncle Toni.
The Spaniard was able to manage his energies, reacting to a moment of physical difficulty felt in the fourth set, and playing a 21-time Grand Slam champion in the crucial moments of the race. The turning point? The break obtained in the eighth game: at 30-40, the Iberian flexed his muscles and won a simply crazy point.
The Parisian crowd in the stands exploded. Now a quarterfinal against his rival Novak Djokovic: it will be the most awaited challenge of the Roland Garros 2022. Here is the video released by Eurosport social channels.
Tutti pazzi per Nadal 🤪🤩🎾
