Mats Wilander suggests Rafael Nadal has figured Daniil Medvedev out: 'His game has just kind of stumbled'

Mats Wilander believes that Rafael Nadal’s win over Daniil Medvdev at the Australian Open is a hint that the Spaniard has worked out how to play against the Russian. Nadal won the 2022 Australian Open when he defeated his 26-year-old rival, and the current world No. 1.

Rafael Nadal eyes 23rd major as Novak Djokovic clings to forlorn US Open hope

Rafael Nadal targets a fifth US Open and 23rd Grand Slam title in New York from next week as Novak Djokovic clings desperately onto a forlorn hope of even being allowed to set foot in New York. Nineteen years after making his debut, the 36-year-old Nadal drags his injury-prone body into a tournament he won in 2010, 2013, 2017 and 2019, the year of his last appearance. The Spaniard has had to sit out the US Open four times in his career and there are once again fresh doubts over his physical ability to survive a gruelling two weeks at Flushing Meadows. Since an abdomen injury forced him to hand Nick Kyrgios a walkover into the Wimbledon final, Nadal has played just once -- a first-up loss to Borna Coric in Cincinnati. "I need to move forward and just start to think about the energy that the crowd give me in New York," said Nadal, who has already captured two of the season's three Slams at the Australian and French Opens. "It's a very special place for me, and I enjoy it. There have been unforgettable moments there, and I'm going to try my very best every single day to be ready for that."
