Rafael Nadal again showed the immense fight which has characterized his career as he overcame physical issues to beat Canada’s Denis Shapovalov and reach the Australian Open semi-finals.
Nadal won, despite struggling physically in the fourth set.
Nadal, whose only title at Melbourne Park came in 2009, needed medication for what seemed to be a stomach issue.
The 35-year-old faces Matteo Berrettini or Gael Monfils in the last four.
Italian seventh seed Berrettini and French 17th seed Monfils meet in their quarter-final later today.
