In the process of the two sides' previous promotions, Nadal defeated Karatsev, Shapovalov and Beretini, the final four of last year's Grand Slams.
Medvedev, on the other hand, won the famous players such as Aliasim and Tsitsipas, which were indistinguishable from the Spaniards.
In the previous historical record of the two sides, Nadal led Medvedev 3-1, including the 2019 Canadian Masters final, the 2019 US Open final and the year-end finals group stage, Nadal was the winning side.
In the group stage of the 2020 year-end finals, Mei Zong defeated Nadal and finally won the championship. It can be said that every meeting between the two sides is in the competition. This time is no exception.
Let's revert the whole game first. At the start of the game, Nadal, who was looking to win the twenty-first Grand Slam title, was clearly more nervous than his opponents and soon lost the first set 2-6.
Yi Bian fought again, Nadal's state improved, and there was a leading advantage in the middle, but unfortunately it failed to turn into a victory in the end, losing 5-7 in the seventh.
There is no way back! Nadal let go of a go and got a miraculous effect, he equalized the aggregate score with two 6-4, the momentum was already up, and the balance of victory began to tilt.
As soon as the decider came up, both sides achieved serve preservation, but the process was very long, and both of them played for at least five minutes before struggling to save.
It was still Nadal who took the lead in breaking, but when he entered one of his own service wins, in the case of a 30-0 lead, He was finally seized by Mei Zong to complete the break, and the two sides fought to a 5-5 draw.
And Mei Zong also did not seize the opportunity, and the blind Nadal achieved a break in the next opponent's inevitable serve, and the game came to the Spaniard's serve to win the game again.
This time, the Spaniards didn't let the victory slip away, taking three championship points and cashing in on the victory on the first one.
In the history of the Australian Open's men's singles finals, there has never been a script of losing two and chasing three, but this time, Nadal created this record with strong fighting power, and his name will be recorded in the annals of history at such an important node.
The belief of never giving up, the spirit of perseverance, finally made Nadal stand at the top, congratulations to the veteran! (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
