Rafael Nadal overcame illness to beat Denis Shapovalov in the Australian Open quarter-finals on Tuesday, holding his serve to see off the Canadian talent in five sets.
Nadal got off to the perfect start in the last-eight showdown at Melbourne Park, taking the first two sets 6-3 6-4 but the momentum soon swiftly turned in Shapovalov's favour.
Shapovalov, who saw off Andy Murray at Wimbledon last year, took the next two sets 6-4 6-3 with Nadal struggling with a stomach issue and the heat.
