On January 30, Beijing time, in the men's singles final of the Australian Open, Spain's king Nadal played against the No. 2 seed of the tournament, Russia's Medvedev. After conceding two sets, Nadal then chased three sets in a row to win the title with a 3-2 reversal over Medvedev to win the second Australian Open men's singles title in his history, and also achieved his 21st Grand Slam title, achieving a double-lap Grand Slam feat, and pushing Federer and Djokovic (both 20 crowns) to become the first person in history. Medvedev missed a great start and finished second at the Australian Open for two consecutive years.
