Former world number four British tennis star Greg Ruseddski spoke highly of Australian Open men's singles champion Rafael Nadal, and Rusedski believes that Nadal's defeat of Medvedev may be the most brilliant victory of Nadal's career, which is great.
Nadal defeated Medvedev 2-6, 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 in the final, which many experts and fans described as the "greatest return" of the Open era.
Rucedski said: "Nadal is a genetic monster of nature, and his tenacity is also great. If your opponent can make you unforgettable for the rest of your life, he is the man you think is the most terrible. What he did was very sensational. Nadal was plagued by injuries last year, but he was able to reverse the title, which is simply a genetic monster. ”
In addition to the recent injury problems, it is an indisputable fact that Nadal also defeated pneumonia in December last year, and Nadal has passed his peak. Rusedski believed that the spiritual power displayed by Nadal was also a great factor that could not be ignored.
Rusedski continued: "Nadal has made a strong comeback, winning two major tournaments in Melbourne and winning 21 Grand Slam trophies. Nadal showed us super fighting stamina, never say die when he was behind, and for me, it was probably the biggest achievement of his career. ”
Rusedowski, 48, was born in Canada and later became a British citizen, with a height of 1.93 meters, his highest singles world ranking has reached No. 4, and he has a huge strength and reputation as a Popeye. Rucedski's peak in 1999 was when he beat Haas in the Grand Slam Cup final to maintain his top 15 in the world for three consecutive years.
After retiring from the army in 2007, Rusedski worked as a commentator for Sky Sports in the UK, often commenting on a number of events and players. Judging from Rusedsky's words, Nadal was highly praised, and even used the word monster to describe Nadal. After all, Nadal's victory is indeed a miracle, when Nadal is behind 2 sets, the outside world thinks that his probability of winning is only 4%, and it is precisely this 4%, but it has become a reality.
Nadal and Roger Federer have already confirmed that they will represent European players in the 2022 Lafort Cup in September, which may be the last time the duo will play in doubles, and fans have a feeling that is difficult to let go. News says Nadal will compete in the Indian Wells Masters on March 10.
Let's look forward to Nadal's next move in this year's French red battlefield, increasing the number of individual Grand Slams to 22. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
