Rafael Nadal is back to feeling healthy. Probably not a coincidence that he's back in the Australian Open semifinals.

Playing his familiar brand of court‑covering, ball‑bashing, opponent‑frustrating tennis, Nadal claimed 20 of his first 23 service points and saved the only two break chances he faced, ending American Frances Tiafoe's best Grand Slam run with a dominating 3 set victory last night.

32-year-old Nadal reached his 30th major semifinal and goes up against 20‑year‑old Stefanos Tsitsipas, who upset Roger Federer in the fourth round.

The 14th‑seeded Tsitsipas became the first player from Greece to earn a semifinal berth at a major, beating No. 22 Roberto Bautista Agut 4 sets earlier yesterday.

In other men’s quarterfinals, Novak Djokavic will face Kei Nishikori while Milos Raonic will meet Lucas Pouille.
