Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer both sent classy messages to Rafael Nadal after the 35-year-old won a record 21st Grand Slam at the Australian Open on Sunday. The Spaniard dug deep to see off Daniil Medvedev, battling his way to a 2-6 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-4 7-5 triumph. And Djokovic has already explained what he'll do next.
Ashleigh Barty's achievement in becoming the first Australian woman in 44 years to win the Australian Open title has seen her consolidate her place atop the WTA rankings. The 25-year-old has increased her lead over Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus -- who exited in the fourth round of the Australian Open -- to over 2,600 points. Danielle Collins's consolation for losing to Barty in Saturday's final is the highest ever ranking for the 28-year-old American as she soars 20 places to 10th. Poland's Iga Swiatek -- who Collins beat in the Australian Open semi-finals -- has also risen to her highest ever ranking, moving up five spots to fourth.
Emma Raducanu has risen to number 13 in the world tennis rankings as Naomi Osaka fell 71 places to 85th.
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.
Roger Federer took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message for his long-time friend and rival Rafael Nadal after the latter won the Australian Open crown on Sunday for a record 21st Grand Slam title.

Nadal won the thrilling final in Melbourne 2-6, 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4, 7-5.
