Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas celebrates winning his semi final match against Spain's Rafael Nadal, May 11, 2019 .
He broke Nadal six times in the epic three-setter played late into the Madrid night, lasting two hours and 34 minutes, while saving 11 of the 16 break points he conceded to his opponent. But Tsitsipas, the Next Gen ATP finals champion, came back stronger in the decider with impressive court coverage and broke Nadal to take a 5-2 lead although he could not immediately serve out for the match.
"It means the world, it's really nice to be able to play this way, it's an unbelievable feeling," Tsitsipas told reporters. Tsitsipas beat Djokovic in the Rogers Cup in Toronto and was looking forward to another match with the Serbian. Thiem, who won the Barcelona Open last month and was on an eight-match winning streak, struck an early blow by breaking Djokovic in the fourth game but the Serbian responded by winning the next three games and saved two break points in the eighth.
