Rafael Nadal Proves He Is The Greatest Of All Time

A renowned right-to-the-end competitor, Rafael Nadal dug deep to win a record 21st Grand Slam. At the Australian Open men's final against Russia Daniil Medvedev, Nadal staged a dramatic 2-6, 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 comeback win that lasted 5 hours and 24 minutes and finished early Monday morning in Melbourne. The 35-year-old Spaniard now has one more major title than Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, his long-time rivals in the so-called Big Three. Federer is still recovering from knee surgery and Djokovic was sensationally deported from Australia on the eve of the tournament because he wasn’t vaccinated against COVID-19. It’s all history now that Nadal, who has had injury problems of his own has become just the fourth man to win all four of the sport’s major titles at least twice.
