In the Australian Open title battle, Nadal's excitement at the prospect of creating his 21st four Grand Slam trophy has made him appear nervous when he stands in the final of the Australian Open, which seems to be only seen by young players. Some fans may say, what has Nadal never seen in the world? How can you be nervous because you stand in the final? Don't really doubt this, because Nadal has shared 20 individual four Grand Slam trophies with Djokovic and Federer. Before reaching this goal, all three people were gritting their teeth and holding their breath to climb up the hill, but when any one of the three people wanted to break this balance, there was actually a feeling of nervousness, after all, this height had never been touched by anyone. So in the US Open, Djokovic would be nervous and would not be able to play the offensive style he was most accustomed to, so he finally lost to Medvedev, who is 2 years younger than now, in the US Open in 2020. However, 2 years later, Medvedev has become stronger, and Nadal can cope with this longing and nervous and frightening scene better than Djokovic at that time.
From the above point of view, Nadal started nervously, and it seems that he will not play on the field, which is also a normal phenomenon. Therefore, in the first set of the two sides, It is normal for Nadal to lose 2-6. Some fans saw Nadal's performance in this game and said bluntly that they did not know him. In fact, Nadal is still that Nadal, but he is a person, so there will be tension, there will also be emotional adjustment, fortunately in the second set, he has gradually found the feeling of the game. Although the second set was still lost in the rush of seven, losing another set 6-7, the two sides have formed a balance overall. Nadal has gradually entered his own rhythm.
After adjusting from the first to the second set, Nadal finally found himself and put all his mind into the game, forgetting that he was competing for his 21st Grand Slam trophy and making history. When a world-class player with big game experience and hard power can put all his mind into the game field, Nadal's energy bursts out. After 6-4, it was still 6-4, and Nadal also used his own stable performance to tie the big score between the two sides. In the fifth set between the two sides, Nadal was more and more determined to implement his tactics. His internet is obviously more targeted and prejudged than Medvedev's, with a small ball in front of the net, two large angles, and a change in weight and rhythm, and this continuous control is reflected in the score, that is, Nadal gradually has the upper hand on the field. Although he failed to hold on to the first set and was instead broken by Medvedev, nadal managed to seize the second chance and won the fifth set with a score of 7-5. Thus successfully winning his 21st four Grand Slam trophies. It also set a new record for his personal career, as well as the entire world men's tennis scene. The scene where Nadal cried with joy must have touched many tennis fans.
A tug-of-war of 5 hours and 24 minutes allows us to witness that At the age of 35, Nadal is still on the road to growth and maturity. His backwardness comes from the tension of his start. And he let 2 chase 3, a little bit later to stabilize the situation, gain the upper hand, and finally achieve a big reversal, from his physical advantages, tenacity, and experience and defensive advantages, but also from his understanding of the opponent's technical characteristics and playing style, can make the most appropriate response on the field. The experience and mastery of the competition has really helped Nadal. Although Medvedev scored several times more directly than Nadal's serve, most of Nadal's serve scores came when he needed to open up and score the most, which is Nadal's big game determination. It is also the capital that he can become the owner of the 21 four Grand Slam trophies. Here, once again, let's pay tribute to the steel warrior Nadal. I also hope that the 35-year-old Nadal will continue to maintain his physical health and continue to play in the future arena and continue to move towards his 22nd trophy.
