The numbers do not lie. Rafael Nadal stands alone on 21 Grand Slam titles, breaking a tie with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in the race to be crowned the greatest male tennis player of all time.
I’ll give you a blizzard of numbers and statistics later but Rafa Nadal coming back from two sets down to win the Australian Open final was not a tennis match that you can reduce quite so easily. This was a performance on stage, a piece of astonishing theatre and something that touched those of us watching in a way that was far deeper and more profound than simply a reaction to a sporting contest.
Spanish tennis ace Rafael Nadal has said that he feels lucky to be in the same era as Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Nadal defeated Daniil Medvedev in the men's singles final of the Australian Open to surpass Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, each of whom have won 20 Grand Slam titles each. The 35-year-old who clinched his second Australian Open title on Sunday said, "I think we have always been respectful with each other."
Can a thing feel entirely impossible and entirely inevitable all at once? This, perhaps, was the paradox of the most recent Greatest Comeback In The History Of Tennis: once it began you could already glimpse how it ended. We’ve all been doing this for 15 years. The muscle memory is too strong, the emotional liturgy too deeply ingrained. This is why, from the moment Rafael Nadal started to claw back his Australian Open final against Daniil Medvedev from two sets down, it never really crossed my mind that he would lose.
De todos los trofeos (90 en el circuito profesional), los premios y las distinciones que ha recibido a lo largo de su prolífica carrera Rafael Nadal, seguramente ninguna tenga más valor que la fotografía que dio la vuelta al mundo el 11 de octubre de 2018. Ese día, cuando las lluvias torrenciales habían arrasado casas, coches y calles de Sant Llorenç des Cardassar –un municipio de 8.000 habitantes situado a 11 kilómetros de Porto Cristo, donde reside el deportista–, el campeón de 21 grandes y reciente ganador del Open de Australia junto al resto de los vecinos de la localidad para achicar agua y colaborar. La imagen ocupó la portada del diario The Times y produjo un impacto planetario.
A crazy Australian Open which started with the drawn-out deportation of Novak Djokovic ended with a men's singles final which was just as unbelievable. And after five hours and 24 minutes of more high court drama, Rafael Nadal took the lead in the GOAT race by breaking the Grand Slam record and the spirit of Daniil Medvedev.
Rafa Nadal said he was lucky to be part of an era of tennis that included Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic after the Spaniard won a men's record 21st Grand Slam title at the Australian Open to move one ahead of his two great rivals.
