Rafael Nadal wins a record 21st Men's Singles Major
Today Rafael Nadal won his 21st Major Men's Singles Tennis Title by defeating Daniil Medvedev 2-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 at the Australian Open in Melbourne in a truly epic 5 hr, 24 min match, the second longest match in Men's Open competition history. It took Nadal 4 hrs and 49 minutes of very tough competition to finally take the lead in the match.
Rafa's competition history is one of the most remarkable in the history of sports, especially when considering professional singles tennis is a solo sport and coaching during match play is prohibited. Nadal is 21 for 29 in Mens Majors Singles Finals competition for a winning percentage of 72%. In 18 years of Open competition: 21 Majors 36 Masters 1000 titles 2 times "Career Slams" (winning every major at least twice) 2 times Olympic champion 1038 victories And...*never once* broken a racket in anger. CLASS. LEADERSHIP. Vamos, Rafa! Well done!
