Tennis: Austria's Dominic Thiem throws Rafael Nadal out of the Australian Open in quarter-finals victory
Austria's Dominic Thiem with Spain's Rafael Nadal after their quarter-final match in Melbourne Park, Melbourne, Australia, January 29, 2020.
Turning the tables on the man who had beaten him in all five of their previous Grand Slam meetings, including the last two French Open finals, Thiem became only the second Austrian to reach the last four at Melbourne Park, following Thomas Muster's runs in 1989 and 1997. The net cord was decisively in Thiem's corner. He clipped it with a backhand winner that secured the final match point.
After wrenching the momentum from the Austrian with a brave third set rally, Nadal gave it right back, squandering three break points early in the fourth set and then promptly dropping serve.
