Match was in Serbia as well, so you know Djokovic was giving his all. Crazy story about Karatsev

Back on serve as Tsitsipas plays a tight service game and Rafa takes advantage.

Tsitsipas was serving at 4-3 and looked like he was in complete control so naturally three games later Rafa has won the opening set 6-4

A carbon copy of set 1, Tsitsipas breaks to take a 2-1 lead in set 2.

Quite a couple of games just now - Tsitsipas saved a couple of match points to stay in the match and then had Rafa down love-40 but the king of clay responds to hold serve.

That set point at 6-4 in the tie-breaker that Rafa saved was incredible.
Edit: But then Nadal double-faults a couple points later and Tsitispas cashes in to take the second set.

Tsitsipas one game away as Rafa is serving to stay in the match at 4-5 in set 3.
Edit: Rafa saves a championship point and we play on at 5-5 in set 3.

The Berrettini - Karatsev match in Belgrade just ended (Berrettini won in a third set tie-breaker). That match started an hour later than the Nadal - Tsitsipas match.

Oh man, a wild forehand from Greek Yogurt and Rafa breaks and will be serving for his 12th Barcelona title.

That was a crazy good final. I feel a little bad for Tsitsipas, but that's why Rafa is Rafa. 6-4 6-7 7-5 in the longest 3 set match of the year (tops the Karatsev - Djoker match from yesterday).
