Daniil Medvedev wife: Why ‘confident' Daria is tennis world No 2's secret weapon
Rafael Nadal is potentially just three sets away from a record 21st Grand Slam title after beating Italy's Matteo Berrettini in the Australian Open semi-finals. The Spaniard stands level on 20 major titles alongside Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. Standing in his way, however, is Daniil Medvedev.
¿Crees que Nadal puede ganar el domingo su 21º Grand Slam?
Rafa Nadal vuelve a estar en una gran final tras imponerse con exhibición y garra a Matteo Berrettini. Será la sexta que dispute en el Open de Australia y lo hará con el aliciente de conseguir su 21º título de Grand Slam y superar a Djokovic y Federer, con los que está empatado a 20. La estadística no está del lado de Rafa. De cinco finales del Open de Australia que ha disputado solo se impuso en una, la de 2009, ante Federer. Las otras cuatro las perdió ante Djokovic (2012 y 2019), Wawrinka (2014) y Federer (2017). Pero Rafa llega a la final tras volver a mostrar su mejor versión y dando la espalda a los meses de inactividad por su lesión en el pie. ¿Crees que lo conseguirá?
