Everything looked too simple for Nadal from the beginning. He managed to win 7-5 in the first set and also won the second set by 6-3.
In the third set, the Spaniard took the opponent's serve and led already 3-2 and it looked like the final match would end after 3 sets. But Daniil Medvedev started to play the highest level of tennis.
He turned the course of the third set, winning it 7-5 and winning the fourth 6-4. A beautiful tennis performance by both players was decided by the fifth set.
Medvedev started it better by leading 1-0 and having up to 3 break balls on the opponent's serve but didn't use either. On the other hand, Nadal took the second chance to break his opponent's service in the fifth game, and he also managed to do it 2 games later.
Rafa led 5-2 and was serving for the win, but even now Medvedev did not give up. He took Nadal's serve and turned off 2 match balls on his.
On Rafa's serve, Medvedev even got to the break ball to level the score to 5-5, but he did not take advantage of it and the Spaniard used his third match ball to win the 19 Grand Slam title. In the historical charts, he still lacks one to level the record held by Roger Federer.
