An Australian Open like no other began in controversy with the deportation of Novak Djokovic but culminated in one of the greatest comebacks in tennis history by Rafael Nadal on Sunday.

An Australian Open like no other began in controversy with the deportation of Novak Djokovic but culminated in one of the greatest comebacks in tennis history by Rafael Nadal on Sunday. Throw in Ashleigh Barty becoming the first home winner for 44 years, and local heroes Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis winning the men's doubles, this was a Grand Slam that will live long in the memory for myriad reasons.
Rafael Nadal's record-breaking 21st Grand Slam singles title in winning an epic Australian Open final frustrated Novak Djokovic's hopes of being the first to do so, but the Serb remains world number one in the rankings released Monday. The 34-year-old was unable to play in the first Grand Slam of the year after being deported from Australia over Covid-19 vaccination issues but he extended his record-breaking run as number one to 358 weeks. Nadal's beaten opponent in the Melbourne final, Daniil Medvedev, stays second but the Russian moves to within 1,000 points of Djokovic.
Not only did Rafa Nadal's staggering comeback victory over Daniil Medvedev in the Australian Open final earn him a men's record 21st Grand Slam title it also showed once again the folly of assuming a new order is seizing power in men's tennis.
Pese a no haber participado en el Open de Australia, Novak Djokovic, a día de hoy, sigue siendo el número uno del mundo. Será así porque, según confirmó la ATP a AS, los 2.000 puntos que ganó como campeón el año pasado y que no ha defendido en 2022 se le restarán el 21 de febrero, que es la fecha en la que terminó la edición de 2021. Ese día, Daniil Medvedev, que competirá antes, del 5 al 13 de febrero, en el 500 de Róterdam, podría adelantarle en el ranking, dependiendo de la actuación del tenista ruso en el propio torneo de Países Bajos.
