Nadal fights back against Dimitrov

World No. Rafael Nadal advanced to the Australian Open semi-final where great rival Roger Federer awaits. Nadal was forced to battle back from a set down before he blunted the challenge of Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov. The 22-year-old Dimitrov showcased power, court coverage and booming service as he tested Nadal, but was unable to capitalize at crucial moments of the match. The Spanish left-hander hammered the nail in the coffin of Dimitrov’s hopes when he broke in the second game of the fourth set. -- Mornings @ ANC, January 23, 2014.
