Zverev is one set away from victory over Nadal!
Rafael Nadal's task now looks almost impossible. After a very shaky first set, the Majorcan finally reacted. Recovering his jocular lift and taking the ball a little earlier, he looked set to come back to within a set of each other, even serving for the second act at 5-4.
Unfortunately, the King of Ochre faltered at the worst possible moment, allowing his opponent to regain the upper hand. Ceding more and more ground to the ever-impressive world number 4, the Spaniard finally cracked. In a very tense tie-break, Zverev came from behind to win the match (6-3, 7-6 in 2h02).
For his part, 'Rafa' must now achieve the impossible: win three consecutive sets against an exceptional Zverev. Can he pull off another career miracle? That's what he'll be trying to do!
