JAKARTA - The fourth round of the 2022 Australian Open will take place on Sunday, 23 January. In the opening match, there were two parties with the names of big players competing for a chance to advance to the advanced round.
First. reported by the WTA, Sunday, January 23, there was a Spaniard, Rafael Nadal who faced the French representative, Adrian Mannarino. In the match at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne Nadal successfully secured a ticket to the quarter-finals after winning 7-6 (16-14) over the unseeded French player.
Mannarino, who in the previous two matches succeeded in overthrowing top players such as Hubert Hurkacz in the second round and Aslan Karatsev in the third round, was unable to stop Nadal.
In the second set, Nadal won 6-2. Similarly, in the third set, Nadal, who is the sixth seed, won 6-2 which sent him through to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open 2022.
Unlike the fate of Nadal, who successfully secured a ticket to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open 2022, another seeded player, Alexander Zverev, stopped in the fourth round of the Australian Open.
Facing Canadian tennis player Denis Shapovalov at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne Zverev even fell after going through three sets with the final score 6-3, 7-6 (7-5), and 6-3.
With this result, Shapovalov means that he will face Nadal in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Zverev could not help but finish his struggle only until the fourth round.
If he can frustrate Shapovalov and advance to the top party, Nadal has a great chance to win the 2022 Australian Open title. The reason is that the tournament champion, Novak Djokovic, clearly did not participate in this year's edition of the match.
