Beaten in four sets by Dominic Thiem in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open after more than 4 hours and three decisive games, Rafael Nadal is well aware that the Austrian poses a real threat, especially for Roland Garros. Invited to speak about the 26-year-old player, the world number 2 even compared himself to him: “I think the intensity we put in each shot is quite similar, we put a very, very high intensity in each point, in each shot, and it’s something I love about him and it’s something I’ve done throughout my career. “ A nice compliment that shouldn’t fall on deaf ears.
