The 2022 Australian Open men's singles semifinals have ended, and the two sides of the championship and runner-up battle have also emerged. Although there are no two kings of Federer and Djokovic, the final between former champion Nadal and world second Medvedev has also made many fans look forward to this focus battle. Nadal beat Berrettini in the semi-finals and Medvedev swept Tsitsipas, and both Nadal and Medvedev were very stable in terms of form. For the upcoming Australian Open men's singles final, will Nadal achieve a double grand slam, or will Medvedev reach the top in Melbourne for the first time in his career? Who do you support?
At the Australian Open, Nadal's performance can be described as "stunning". As the overlord of the clay court, hard ground has never been a blessing for the Spaniards. Reaching the men's singles final of the Australian Open in the first six times, he has a record of one win and five losses, which is why, although Nadal, like Federer and Djokovic, has won 20 Grand Slam titles. But judging by the number of titles in the four Grand Slams, Nadal has a clear bias, with the French Open alone occupying 13 of the 20 Grand Slam titles. As he grew older and injured, Nadal had reached the peak of his career.
Many fans thought it would be difficult for him to win a Grand Slam again, but he did not expect rafa to surprise everyone in his first Grand Slam event at the beginning of the tournament. In Djokovic's absence, Russian brother Medvedev was considered the biggest favourite to win the title. The new U.S. Open champion played a gut-wrenching game for world tennis fans in the quarter-finals. He staged a Jedi counterattack under the disadvantage of losing two sets in a row and eventually reached the final four. Facing Tsitsipas in the semi-finals, Medvedev learned the lesson of the slow heat of the previous game, ending the battle in four sets after withstanding the onslaught of his opponents.
It is worth mentioning that Medvedev was dissatisfied with Tsitsipas's father's off-court guidance during the game and deliberately reported it to the referee. Because the referee on duty did not stop Tsitsipas's father's behavior, the Russian brother was completely enraged, and even angrily scolded the referee, "Are you stupid, it's so bad." This behavior has made many fans quite dissatisfied, and some fans said that Medvedev began to drift after winning the US Open championship, and he was always "playing a big card". For the men's singles final between Nadal and Medvedev, many people in the industry have expressed their views.
Sampras said he was bullish on the latter winning the title, but the tenacious Nadal might do wonders. Maurice Mo supports Nadal, believing that the King of Clay is in excellent form at the moment, especially when stimulated by the 21 Grand Slam titles, Nadal will do his best. If Nadal wins, he will win his second Australian Open men's singles title trophy, while Medvedev will reach the top for the first time at Rodrawall stadium and pick up his second grand slam of his career. The duel between the two new and old kings, who do you support more?
