But the Canadian made a spirited comeback and won the next two sets as Nadal was seen suffering from the Melbourne heat, which he accepted after the match that he was not prepared for.

The Spainard played like a champion in the final set. He broke Shapovalov service early and won the final set 6-3 as the Canadian failed to return over 70 percent of Nadal's serve in the fifth set.
