On January 30, Beijing time, the Australian Open men's singles final ended the competition. In the end, Nadal, with 0-2 behind, staged a 3-2 reversal. The tennis god of war once again proved with practical actions that the 36-year-old self is far from old. After 5 hours and 24 minutes of fighting, at the moment of winning the championship, Nadal was very excited and could not hide his joy.
The game was full of ups and downs, with Medvedev playing extremely well in the first two sets. Especially in the second set, in the case of 1-4 behind, 3-5 behind, and 3-5 behind, the Jedi counterattack was staged and the second set was won. But Nadal's counterattack was also just beginning at this moment. He then won two straight sets. In the decider, although Medvedev once broke Nadal's serve to win the championship, he finally handed over the game 5-7.
At the moment of victory, Nadal simply threw away the racket in his hand and covered his face with both hands. Nadal then smiled brightly and celebrated his 21st Grand Slam. After greeting Medvedev, Nadal came to the center of the court and kicked a tennis ball straight away, holding a finger high and then making the signature celebration move.
Then, Nadal fell to his knees in the middle of the field, once again covering his face to vent his emotions. By this time, Nadal's team had already gone crazy. Nadal then came to the team and celebrated with them. It's an incredible achievement for Nadal and his team. 21 Grand Slams, the first in history, and at least for a while, Nadal is a well-deserved GOAT!
Medvedev sat in a chair, dumbfounded, unable to believe what had happened in the last 5 hours. Of course, Medvedev did not have to be discouraged. If there is no big surprise, he will soon reach the top of the world! At the moment, he is less than 100 points away from Djokovic. And then, Djokovic is likely to continue to miss many games. Medvedev is bound to break the monopoly of the Big Four for the world's first for 18 years, and his era may be coming.
