Hello and welcome to our coverage of the Australian Open men’s singles final between Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev.

After a Novak Djokovic saga that dominated preparations for the season’s opening major tournaments, the Melbourne players presented an unforgettable tournament, which will end up making history either way.

Nadal’s victory would set him the record for most Grand Slam titles, putting him ahead of rivals Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.

After a foot injury that cut short the 2021 season, Nadal once again showed his greatness to reach the 29th and 6th final in Australia.

“I feel happy to be a part of this wonderful era of tennis, and to share all these things with other players. That’s it,” Nadal said.

“In some ways, it doesn’t matter whether someone has achieved one more or less. We’ve done amazing things and things that would be very hard to equal. I don’t think much about all of those things.”

For Medvedev, winning today’s final means he will become world number 1 for the first time and return to successive major tournaments. “I will play again against one of the greatest,” said Medvedev with a smile. “The funny thing is, I will once again play a player participating in the 21st Slam tournament.” “I think Rafa was watching (the US Open final) very close to the TV…I don’t know who he was cheering for. I think Novak will watch that…too!” This is only the fifth meeting between the duo, and the last meeting coming in 2020 in the ATP Finals.

“For me, it’s something completely unexpected, so I’m very happy,” Nadal said head-to-head with a 3-1 victory and won their last Grand Slam meeting in the 2019 US Open final. “Of course everyone knows me and I will always do my best. Of course my goal now is to win.”
