Rafael Nadal demonstrated once more he has the makeup of a champion with a tremendous comeback against Daniil Medvedev.
The Spaniard was trailing two sets to love with Medvedev having a couple of break points in the 3rd. As John McEnroe put it, Medvedev choked in the 3rd set giving Nadal a lifeline who continued applying pressure and ultimately pulling away with the match. Like many, Greg Rusedkis was left in awe of the fighting spirit Nadal displayed once more, against a player that is almost a decade younger than him.
He said:
"Rafa's incredible mental fortitude is astonishing. He becomes the first male tennis player to win his 21st slam. A comeback for the history books."
The comeback win was not a smooth one as Nadal got nervous at the end failing to serve out the match on his first try. He got another chance and this time finished it off. He himself admitted:
“It was one of the most emotional matches of my career."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
