Rafael Nadal recently suffered from COVID, faced a career threatening injury, came into the tournament short of game practice & was 2 sets down in the final. Yet, he made his greatest comeback at age 35 for a record 21st grand slam! Story for the ages.

All this videos and they don't remember the forehand to the line that allowed Rafa to break Medvédev serve in the 5th. That was legendary.

[salmanfaheem]

This win is so special because it came against Medvedev who is almost unbeatable these days and that too after being two sets down in a grand slam final. Never underestimate a legend 🙌

[wahn]

The combination of fight, footwork and shotmaking. Is incredible, no?

[hernancano]

Apart from not breaking a racket in his entire career, Nadal never celebrates looking at the other player in his face! A real EXAMPLE in and out the court for generations to come!

[judykraska]

Nadal’s foot work was incredible compared to the other opponents, who often stumbled to reach a ball 🎾.

[rosebudkanebergman]

So happy Medvedev is also getting the recognition now. So much of those shots are thanks to him lasting so long.

[bullfighterify]

The greatest match I have watched ever, the AO 2022 Finals where Nadal won over Medvedev in a come-from-behind stance - gut-wrenching, brutal, empowering, inspiring, and most of all, legendary. GS#21 for the GOAT and Champion ON and OFF the COURT!

I retract my earlier comments about highlight videos. Great job to AOTV uploading the full final match and great extras like this through the whole tournament, fantastic major coverage.

[sherlockholmes]

For me the best shot was rafa vs meddy in 5th set 2-2* break point to rafa which rafa won..the shot was on the run FH down the line winner touching the line for the break..the ball was as high as it could get, but rafa pulled that shot out of nowhere...he should be jailed foe making that shot on the line...

[Jose-xoyn]

Surely he will not go down in history as the tennis player who has won the most Grand Slams, but he will go down in history as the athlete with the strongest mentality that has ever existed.

His achievements at a sporting level and his ability to sacrifice will be a benchmark for all athletes in the world

He has achieved something much more valuable than winning tennis matches

[crinabodea]

Fantastic player, what a Day! He îs The heart of tennis! 🏆👏🥇

[Mbetman]

Hype fans celebrate 21, those who followed Rafa for years focus on the 2nd AO 🥰
