Rafael Nadal's retirement plan exposed as other avenues 'already emerging'
Rafael Nadal bids for Australian Open today against Daniil Medvedev. The Spaniard is potentially only three sets away from a record 21st Grand Slam title - pulling away from Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic on 20 each. The 'Big Three' cliche has been part of tennis for over a decade now, and Nadal can cement his status as the most successful tennis star of all time with victory in Melbourne today.
