@@jm7804 no offense but if you try to nit pick every little stat then of course you can make it look like every player has failed. Djokovic won 3 out of 4 majors last year, and made the final in the 4th. That’s an INCREDIBLE accomplishment and in all likelihood he would have won this tournament too. His recent losses here were in 2017 and early 2018, the year and a half span of his career where he experienced the worst form of his career and needed surgery.
I first started watching Rafa as a kid when he was 18 years old playing Roger Federer in Miami. He has been my favorite player ever since. I feel like this match represented his whole career. It represented a match of up and downs. In the end, his fighting spirit prevailed. He is one of the most inspirational sportsmen ever. Well done Rafa and I wish you further success.
With all due respect, Medvedev choked. He gave Nadal about 100 free points....and let’s be honest, if Djokovic was allowed to play Nadal ain’t coming close. The dude hasn’t even won a set off Djokovic on hard court in NINE YEARS. Let that sink in. He’s not the goat, anyone who’s unbiased knows who the goat is. Djokovic has 3 majors he probably would have won had it non been for biased decisions against him. US open 2020, Wimbledon 2020 (just unlucky it didn’t happen) and of course Aus Open 2021. It’s fair to say that Novak would almost certainly win one or two of those events. “Just get vaccinated.” Lol, because the vaccine did so much for all those players sick with covid a week prior who were allowed to play 😂😂 Anyways, it was impressive from Rafa but there will ALWAYS be an asterisk beside this, and deep down he knows he wouldn’t have beat Novak here. It’s a shame Medvedev played TERRIBLY compared to his dominant form last September, because that was embarrassing on his part. I thought he was going to be great, but he’s also weak.
@@mikemoggerson6651 hahaha salty Djokovic fan you are. Nadal played beyond his mind in the last 3 sets. Had he played like this in 2019 Novak wouldn’t have had that 2019 trophy. Injuries are the reason Nadal has 21 slams or else everyone knows he would be having 4-5 more slams. 6 months before he was walking on one Leg and he is here winning his 21st slam. Go tell Novak to take his vaccine first and come. GOAT is Rafa for me
@@mikemoggerson6651 Yes, if nadal would have lost, he would disclose his "injury." Just like when he lost to Novak at the French last year. Nadal wins, it's a miraculous recovery. He loses, he's "injured." 🙄
Roger lost more grand slam finals with match points than these two combined but Rafa definitely cannot beat Djokovic anymore. Clear as day not even on the clay. Sorry guys but FAA would have beaten Nadal imo. Meddy chocked 😭😭 and rain was not needed to switch the momentum 😭😭
The most improbable and impressive comeback I have ever seen. Nadal would have won the first 2 sets if it was clay. The fact he did a 180 turn and switched it up and produced the best ball striking he's ever produced down 2-0 at the age of 35 is spectacular. Medvedev was phenomenal, the fact Nadal looked less tired in the 5th set than he did in the 2nd set is something I will never comprehend. What a champion 🏆
Incredible comeback by Rafa. Never gave up and just pulled out every shot he had to claw back and win. The 🐐. Daniil is probably wondering what just happened lol but he will be back and I'm sure will win more of these. He is an awesome player.
@@yasirshaikh1443 no he’s not. You don’t even mention how badly he choked. Nadal would’ve been done in the 3rd set if Medvedev did what any decent player would’ve done, which is take advantage of a 0-40 lead. Choker...Nadal is one lucky boy.
"It's the Miracle in Melbourne" That's exactly how i'll remember this epic day and this legendary comeback. Against all the odds, when no one believed anymore. What a champion, what a heart. Bravo Rafa, you were always great, but after this day no matter what happens for me you'll always be the greatest.
@@andresrodriguez7610 They looked for the perfect excuse to get Nole out of the circuit. He was making history. Proving that he is the best of all time. Better than Nadal and Federer. But many envious could not stand the Nole glory. And as much as Nadal continues to win tournaments, it will always be known that he did it because Novak was not there. It will always be known that his triumphs were because they took care of removing the best of all time from the circuit. The fabulous and great Novak Djokovic.
@@newday4512 you sound like you're crying. Do you need some tissue? Nole is a great champion, but to say the only reason Rafa wins is bc Nole isn't there just sounds unintelligent. Rafa has beat Nole plenty of times
That was one of the greatest sporting achievements in my lifetime. Immense. Down two sets. 2-3, 0-40. The will. The spirit. The drive. I don't think we'll ever see a competitor or player like Rafa ever again.
@@AIstudio4 jajajajaja yeah, like he just did in the US Open last time they met??? Nadal is 2-0 against Medvedev on Grand Slams finals, Us Open and Australian Open, none of them are clay so you cant cry about that either
People will always have different opinions on who’s the greatest tennis player of all time , but no one can argue that Nadal is the strongest competitor we have ever witnessed. Keep fighting legend.
The defining moment was in the third set when Nadal was down 0-40 on his serve. Had Medvedev broke serve, this match would’ve been his. Nadal is such a fighter and shows how it’s not over until the very last point. So proud of this man!!!
Lol Nadal ain’t coming close to winning the title if Djokovic is there. Not even close...the dude is humiliated by djoker on hard court. He literally hasn’t won a set against him in nearly 10 years. Hollow victory..
There will never be another lion like Nadal. The fighting spirit is unmatched and the fire in his gut to never give up. He truly shocked the world and put on a masterclass performance. Absolute legend of the sport
@@varunshahvo-tv9854 nadal too was not crowd favourite early in his career but he made them love him with his attitude ...so dont always blame d crowds for djokovic...
@@justusbeweel1109 What about him giving millions to charity and buying ventilators for hospitals. Is that not good? Or do you Novak haters have to hate him for anything.
Medvedev deserves a standing ovation too. The way he played was just mesmerizing. And Rafa has always been a big inspiration for people who like tennis or not.
Medvedev got more money from the Russians than Nadal did for winning. Wise up people. Medvedev does not care about titles since he could never catch up to the top 3
Each move matters. Each point matters. Every breathe, every second can gradually change your position. Just some of my reasons to love Nadal for the last 17 years.
The big 3 are just monsters. Crazy they’ve been dominating this damn long. Rafa is my favorite though. Love that he never gives up. Dudes mental strength is unreal
Actually you're partly correct, he is mental. Anyone who has to pick his underwear on every serve and line his water bottles up and who knows what else has got some screws loose. Just saying....
This has to be the sweetest and most fulfilling win thus far for Nadal. He is the epitome of a sportsman, a modern warrior, and a fine human being. You gotta love this guy. I have no excuse to complain and not working hard.
Nadal is drug addict. No proffesional player after so many injuries is back and running like that. Why Nadal's team alwayse are angry when the WTMS wants to test him???
@@giannisksanthopoulos4300 I hope you are wrong on this. Drug addict is one thing btw, cheater with PEDs would be the one that would ruin his stature. Where are you getting this from?
@@wreckim cheaters with PEDs are drug addict...read between the line dude. And make a research in internet about Nadal. 35year old with multiple injuries run 5 hours like horse....something is wrong here...dont you thing?
@@giannisksanthopoulos4300 I'm a huge fan of all three....I've followed their careers since their inception, and have been surprised by both Nadal and Djokovic's physical abilities. Federer doesn't seem to have gained strength and gotten 'stronger and better' as he passed age 30, more like he found ways to keep himself at the top. I hope the doping tags turn out to be wrong, as that would really be a deal breaker on what I've always considered the greatest era of tennis. Yes, I do admit something is rotten in the state of tennismark.
Been a Federer fan for as long as I can remember, but you’re damn right I stayed up all night to watch Nadal surpass him in Grand Slam wins. What an achievement, what a player, bravo Rafa 👏
@@mar__k I understand that but unfortunately free will is limited actions have consequences and different nations have different rules, Australia had a set ruling to be followed but Novak chose to be quite stubborn with it, and not get vaccinated, you have to think of other people as well.
10 years back a heart breaking almost 6hr finals loss, Now a fighting come back from 8month long injury, and a 2 sets down against a marvellous Medvedev to win a well deserved 2nd AO, and 21st record Grand slam, to break the big three tie. This win erases all the heart breaks of your losses in the last 13 years time and again in Australian Open. Your Finals appearance has a pattern of 2 & 1 year gap alternatively. 2009,2012,2014,2017,2019,2022. Rafa Nadal - a definition for Humbleness,Perseverance, passion ,hope, never give up attitude and respectable perspective of life .. a big THANK YOU Rafa for your continued and a renewed inspiration 🔥 👏🏼👏🏼🙏. Daniil though i wanted Rafa to grab this last chance after years of heartbreaks in AO, i was hoping you win as well from the beginning of the match, have been a huge fan of you ever since I saw you fight in 2019 USO in NY, and no one deserved it better than you as well, cant wait to see you win many many more Grand slams titles in the decade plus to come ..thank you for your magnificent level of tennis and how honestly genuine you seem to be ... lots of luv and wishes to you ..keeeeep going 👏🏼👏🏼🙏
Totally agree. This 2nd AO, won under the most surprising and adverse conditions, makes up for all of Rafa's bad luck with injuries and tight final losses (2012, 2014, 2017) at the AO!
Although I'm primarily a Novak fan, I have nothing but respect and admiration for this man! To think that many of us were already counting him out.... in a way, I'm glad I was proven wrong. Rafa is a beast! Meddy fought well, it's probably not his last GS finals either!
There should be at least 20 mins of highlights of the game considering it’s one of the epic finals ever . Watching nadal in finals is like watching theatrical performance, so entertaining
When Med won the second set, I was like: "There goes another final for Nadal at AO". When Nadal won the third set, I thought Med would finish in 4. And when they got to 5, I thought Med would win in 5. I hadn't thought that Nadal would do that comeback even in my wildest dreams. As a Fed fan, I would have liked Nadal to stay at 20 slams and instead win FO for his 21st. But man, you can't just help but admire that smile in the end after the most epic comeback of all time.
If after Nadal winning the fourth set, you really thought that Medvedev will win in 5, than you are or blind or you have no idea of the game. Bro, even my brother who doesn’t know shit about tennis, told me that now Nadal will win right away.
@@karanabhi761 lost the 5th set in 2012 and 2017, is 10 years older than Medvedev, no reason to think he was the overwhelming favorite in that 5th set against Medvedev
Only 4% believed he would still win. But he never gave up and fought till the very last point, he never lost his spirit and believed till the end. I'll never forget that match in my life.
I was one of the 4% that still believed he would win. If you want to win the Big 3 in a Grand slam match, then you had better do it in straight sets. Once Rafa took the third set I knew it would be an uphill battle for Medvedev to close it out. If Djokovic had taken the third set at the 2021 US Open Final, then Medvedev would have probably lost the match.
nadal has been playing for so long his victory feels like a victory of our childhood/ younger days. i recall seeeing nadal when i was in university in early / mid 2000s. now as a 37 year old i watched the final highlights with my 7 year old daughter.
@@luiscaetano6184 yeah by facing who in the final and that entire French open. Stop being a loser. GOATDAL always ahead of Muslim hater DjoCovid and will be. Keep crying
The embodiment of will power. In my honest opinion, the greatest athlete competitor to ever live is one Rafael Nadal. Don't hate because you cheer for other players, appreciate because there is a small chance you will ever witness anything similar to this man 🙏
Yep, Roger and Nike definitely have advantages over Rafa, but when it comes to the mental aspect, Rafa is superior and is not even kind of close, he’s a fucking rock.
I'm not even a big fan of tennis but something that impresses me about tennis players is their mental strength. I find this sport exhausting physically but mentally it's just torture. I really don't understand how can someone be at the verge of losing but still playing like if he was ahead. Many other athletes could learn from this sport, especially from Rafa.
@@maxmaxwell4211 mostly because tennis only have you a single individual as a team against another. So you can focus and believe in yourselves whereas the other sports you have to pray for teammates too. That's why I quit football because I don't want my own ideas to be twisted by the others and I believe in myself.
Nadal on court is the biggest inspiration somebody can possibly be. I love so much watching him win matches like this. It's not the first time he gave me such emotions, but possibly it was the biggest one... Thank you for being a reason to my happiness Rafa
The miracle for Nadal is that Djokovic did not compete because a stupid aussie government that persecutes its own people. Medvedev did not play the important point as he should have. He made mistakes all along that many other players would have never made at this level and then he played it safe. Djokovic would have never played safe and would have wiped out Nadal in 3 straight sets. Nadal is the AO winner by default. Nothing else to see here or understand.
@@el_Chupo Agree!!! this person should go isolate on an isolated island with her No-Vax, along with Rogan, Jones, etc. without internet connectivity!!! Buh bye
@@christiankamal7549 Calling into question the achievements of players is often not a good thing because it can work both ways. As an example, think back to Wimbledon 2019, when Djokovic defeated Federer 7-6 1-6 7-6 4-6 13-12. You may recall that RF blew match points in that one, serving at 8-7 40-15, with unforced errors playing a part in ND's break of serve in that game. Did you say Djokovic was lucky to win that match? Did you say, "Nothing else to see here or understand"?
Uma das melhores partidas de tênis que já assisti! Nadal, voltando a ser um dos maiores tenistas da história. Perseverante, um verdadeiro gladiador! Parabéns ao grande vencedor.

@@10dige I love Rafa and Roger. Djoker is definitely on their level, but I hate his team and his personality. The vaccine is a choice, but why lie about it lmao. Also, the way he disrespected Roger and Rafa behind the scenes is just wrong. (I read the stories)

@@kikaa1884cry bot ur predictions are wrong .. every Rafa fans want him to win atp finals but it's tough for him because the surface is tougher and many indoor hard players are there.he will retire next year so don't expect him to win titles in his unfavorable surface
I´m a Nole fan, however, want to recognize what Nadal has done today on court. We sometimes don´t appreciate enough what these beasts, Rafa, Roger and Novak, still do on court at their ages and well-experienced careers. They are players who as soon as later will finish their careers and a big legacy behind them, reason why it would be nice to enjoy and take advantage their tennis because sure we will miss them a lot when they retire. Congrats Rafa for your great achievement and for Medvedev too because his tournament has been exceptional.
It's crazy how good they are and really doesn't bode well for the sport that there are no up and coming players that can get near them. We're in for a boring era once all three are retired.
I wouldn’t say that. The bar is extremely high, but there is dedication and skill in the up and comers, maybe not this level, but enough for me too appreciate. There will be new champions, but you’re right there isn’t going to be another big 3
I agree. I just meant that I’m still going to enjoy watching them even after the Big 3 retire, even if the matches aren’t as good. That’s the thing for me with high bars, is that just below is still pretty damn good
Dedicated fans like you are the reason why I’ve archived so much greatness,I’m not complete without you as my fan; you’re highly appreciated Where are you watching from?💝
You just have to realize how good Nadal is at this age. But Medvedev is 25 and he played an amazing game, I think he will win 5-6 grand slams in his career.
Virada impressionante, remontar de um 2x0, nas circunstâncias que estavam o jogo, é algo realmente absurdo. Para se tornar o maior de todos, espetacular o vigésimo primeiro slam do Nadal, gigante.
Rafa gracias por darnos una vez más otra gran alegría.. estar despierto desde las 4 de la mañana diría que valió la pena una y otra vez demuestras porque eres el más grande hoy fue una final épica digna de ti.. gracias por existir Rafa Nadal
Truly one of the most entertaining matches in sports history. This is why we love sport, it’s unpredictable. The favorite doesn’t always win, but rather the guy who comes to play on that day
Keep your head high Daniil. You earned our respect. Thanks for showing a masterful gutsy game and elegance in defeat. Congrats to Rafa for another classic display, what a game.
I love that this happened! I did not expect Rafa to be able to do this! If anyone else won, we would have heard a lot more about Novak not being there. Now, we've got a previously injured 35 year old fighter with a new record of 21 grand slam victories! I was always more a Roger fan and Rafa was the clay boogeyman. Then the boogeyman dusted off the clay and elevated his amazing game to other surfaces. I'm so impressed and emotional watching him win. ❤️ Aside from today, how lucky we are to have been here for all of this amazing tennis! The artistry of Roger, the fight of Rafa and the determination of Novak. I mean, the first British player to win Wimbledon in forever, 23 grand slams by a woman from....Compton(?), the best sister combination of tennis players ever, a new humble Aussie number one, a bright, brief comet in Nalbandian, the first qualifier to win the US Open, without dropping a set, the two longest matches in history...there's been so much special tennis in the last twenty (?) years now and I'm so glad that I've been here to see it. ❤️ Love to all of you!

Qué seas más fanático del serbio es totalmente respetable, pero al mismo tiempo, un poco de respeto para Rafa.
@@joaquinlopezhernandez3937 Pero la razón que Nadal no jugó, no fue por que lo cesuraron o prohibieron. No jugó por lesiones que tuvo. Este es un caso totalmente distinto. Novak viajó con la intención de jugar, defender su título mas glorioso y demoatrar por que el es el mejor de todos los tiempos. El oportunista de Nadal solo levantó el trofeo, por que a Novak no lo dejaron jugar. Nadal venía jugando muy mal. Estaba desmoralizado por que Novak lo tenía de hijo y no lo dejaba ganar nada.

@@mysticpond23 Novak is number 1. He is the king of the Australian open. He didn't play this Australian Open, out of fear or being injured. Novak was dismissed for his ideas of freedom. They did not allow the number 1 and best of all time to defend the best tournament of his. Therefore this Australian Open is invalid. The only reason Nadal lifted that trophy was because Novak wasn't there. Otherwise Nadal would never have done it. Because Nole had him dominated and had him as a son. Nadal was lost because Novak wouldn't let him win anything. Now that Nole is not allowed to prove that he is the best of all time, Nadal's opportunist will take the opportunity to win the awards that belong to Djokovic.

Talk about pressure. That game was insane. that comeback from behind "Incredible". they both gave it their best. ( Congrats Rafa) for winning and Daniil for bringing his best.
Nadal has the heart, Novak has the mental strength, and Fed has the grace and the most beautiful strokes. They are all a joy to watch, and so are the top youngsters.
This was a fantastic display of courageous playing by Rafa. The negative comments here about either player are idiotic. This was two great players in a fierce competition. Rafa showed us why he is one of the great players in the history of tennis.
I remember last year in the final of the US open when Medvedev beat Novak he told him "I never said this but Novak you re the greatest of all time". I guess Nadal taught him a tough lesson today.
My kind of G.O.A.T. The mental strength, his relentless love for the game, his skills, his discipline, and most of all his humility is just unbelievable!
@@mikemoggerson6651 Djoko had the exact same chance of 21 against the exact same player (Medvedev) and got swept at US open. That’s the difference - down 2-0 in a slam and Djoko choked for 21. Nadal did not.
Rafa is the epitome of fighting spirit in tennis and probably all of sport. When he lost his serve, serving for the title at 5-4, i thought Medvedev would finally come through. But again Rafa digged deep and prevailed. Congrats to both for displaying tremendous mental strength till the last point...Medvedev for fighting against Rafa and also the crowd.
VAMOS RAFA VAMOS!!!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Along with so many fans I was there for every AO Final heartbreak, and now he does it - in this fashion, with all the history. Have wanted him to win this tournament again for over a decade. So deserved. The spirit of this man is inspiring. Medvedev showed just as much fight in this match frankly and he's undoubtedly the best player and toughest competitor to emerge in recent times. Hope he won't be too discouraged in the long run - great player and good and interesting person too. What a match.
Honestly, one of most inspiring triumphs of the human spirit I've ever witnessed, up there with our landing drones and helicopters on Mars! All the heartbreaks of Rafa's prior AO misfortunes exorcised in 2 hrs and 39 mins of the most epic and improbable fightback (from 2 hrs 45 mins into the match, when Rafa was down 2 sets to love and 2-3, 0-40 until he triumphed at 5 hrs 24 mins after the match began). Rafa so deserved this, his 2nd AO title, becoming the 2nd man in history to win all slams at least twice, and the first to exceed 20. GOAT
I am a big rafa fan and the way he came bk and won that match is bloody incredible..21 grand slams now..it will be interesting to see wat happens in the coming months especially as the French open is in May,would b great if rafa could win that and make it 22.Also depends on novak and how he responds as u can't count novak out..I'm not 2 sure bout Roger as u can't count him out either but I've heard he maybe returning after Wimbledon which will make him nearly 41yrs old so I duno his chances of winning another grand slam could be unrealistic but who knows.
Fought Ankle injury 6 months ago when was walking on one leg on crutches and fights of Covid 2 weeks before tournament and comes back to win the tournament in which he always had bad luck and wanted to win Australian open since a decade. He does it at the age of 35. He overcame his inner demons and brought out the beast in him to get his 21st slam. Phenomenadal. 🐐 🇪🇸 💪🏆
So happy for Rafa! Never thought he’d make a comeback from two sets down. Incredibly proud of him. Congrats to him on winning his second Australian Open title! Grand slam #21! 🥇🏆🎾 Also proud of Daniil too, I’m sure he’s gonna win an Australian Open title very soon. He’s too good not to!!

5:13 commentator said "That surely is the decisive point for Medvedev" and Rafa turned it around from 0-40 to win the 21st Grandslam!
Absolute Legend!
The defining moment for Daniil.
Rafa took it personal😂
And when nadal broke serve's medvedev he said: It's the best shot he never hits.
shame they didnt fucking show how
That was the moment. He knew. He fucked up.
This man is the definition of a fighter, his greatest achievement on the hard court surface. My GOAT
With all due respect, Medvedev choked. He gave Nadal about 100 free points....and let’s be honest, if Djokovic was allowed to play Nadal ain’t coming close. The dude hasn’t even won a set off Djokovic on hard court in NINE YEARS. Let that sink in. He’s not the goat, anyone who’s unbiased knows who the goat is. Djokovic has 3 majors he probably would have won had it non been for biased decisions against him. US open 2020, Wimbledon 2020 (just unlucky it didn’t happen) and of course Aus Open 2021. It’s fair to say that Novak would almost certainly win one or two of those events. “Just get vaccinated.” Lol, because the vaccine did so much for all those players sick with covid a week prior who were allowed to play 😂😂 Anyways, it was impressive from Rafa but there will ALWAYS be an asterisk beside this, and deep down he knows he wouldn’t have beat Novak here. It’s a shame Medvedev played TERRIBLY compared to his dominant form last September, because that was embarrassing on his part. I thought he was going to be great, but he’s also weak.
@@mikemoggerson6651 hahaha salty Djokovic fan you are. Nadal played beyond his mind in the last 3 sets. Had he played like this in 2019 Novak wouldn’t have had that 2019 trophy. Injuries are the reason Nadal has 21 slams or else everyone knows he would be having 4-5 more slams. 6 months before he was walking on one Leg and he is here winning his 21st slam. Go tell Novak to take his vaccine first and come. GOAT is Rafa for me
@@mikemoggerson6651 Yes, if nadal would have lost, he would disclose his "injury." Just like when he lost to Novak at the French last year. Nadal wins, it's a miraculous recovery. He loses, he's "injured." 🙄
Roger lost more grand slam finals with match points than these two combined but Rafa definitely cannot beat Djokovic anymore. Clear as day not even on the clay. Sorry guys but FAA would have beaten Nadal imo. Meddy chocked 😭😭 and rain was not needed to switch the momentum 😭😭
@@mikemoggerson6651 with that same logic there’s an asterisk beside the 2016 French open cuz nadal withdrew in the third round
The most improbable and impressive comeback I have ever seen. Nadal would have won the first 2 sets if it was clay. The fact he did a 180 turn and switched it up and produced the best ball striking he's ever produced down 2-0 at the age of 35 is spectacular. Medvedev was phenomenal, the fact Nadal looked less tired in the 5th set than he did in the 2nd set is something I will never comprehend. What a champion 🏆
yes I understand your point, but danil is very bad on clay that it is almost obvious
rafa looked like he could have played 2 more sets after the 5th!
rafa was nervous first 2 set not tired
Incredible comeback by Rafa. Never gave up and just pulled out every shot he had to claw back and win. The 🐐. Daniil is probably wondering what just happened lol but he will be back and I'm sure will win more of these. He is an awesome player.
@@yasirshaikh1443 no he’s not. You don’t even mention how badly he choked. Nadal would’ve been done in the 3rd set if Medvedev did what any decent player would’ve done, which is take advantage of a 0-40 lead. Choker...Nadal is one lucky boy.
Probably the most impressive comeback of all time
Right.
absolutely yes. i still cannot belive this .
I fell asleep for an hour and seeing what was going on woke me right back up! It was 12:30am when the match started at my time.

Medvedev and Rafa both played superb tennis. Hopefully the Russian will win more slams in the future.

10 years back a heart breaking almost 6hr finals loss, Now a fighting come back from 8month long injury, and a 2 sets down against a marvellous Medvedev to win a well deserved 2nd AO, and 21st record Grand slam, to break the big three tie.

Class act from you. The same respect and admiration from my behalf goes to Novak, what a great Wimbledon trophy!!
There should be at least 20 mins of highlights of the game considering it’s one of the epic finals ever . Watching nadal in finals is like watching theatrical performance, so entertaining
When Med won the second set, I was like: "There goes another final for Nadal at AO". When Nadal won the third set, I thought Med would finish in 4. And when they got to 5, I thought Med would win in 5. I hadn't thought that Nadal would do that comeback even in my wildest dreams. As a Fed fan, I would have liked Nadal to stay at 20 slams and instead win FO for his 21st. But man, you can't just help but admire that smile in the end after the most epic comeback of all time.
If after Nadal winning the fourth set, you really thought that Medvedev will win in 5, than you are or blind or you have no idea of the game.

Still coming back to watch this when I feel down .
Only 4% believed he would still win. But he never gave up and fought till the very last point, he never lost his spirit and believed till the end. I'll never forget that match in my life.
I was one of the 4% that still believed he would win. If you want to win the Big 3 in a Grand slam match, then you had better do it in straight sets. Once Rafa took the third set I knew it would be an uphill battle for Medvedev to close it out. If Djokovic had taken the third set at the 2021 US Open Final, then Medvedev would have probably lost the match.
nadal has been playing for so long his victory feels like a victory of our childhood/ younger days. i recall seeeing nadal when i was in university in early / mid 2000s. now as a 37 year old i watched the final highlights with my 7 year old daughter.

Rafa is the greatest inspiration and example to follow in the sport. His fighting spirit, his desire to move forward, his never giving up. What he did yesterday was simply majestic and I don't think it will ever happen again. Bravo Rafa.
Lo siento. Pero Rafael no ganó el torneo. Por que el número 1, el mejor de todos los tiempos no estaba. Este fue un torneo falso
@@newday4512 Djokovic también ha ganado torneos donde Rafa no jugó. No es excusa.
Rafa ganó su 21 GS, aunque te duela y no quieras reconocerlo. Nole tuvo su oportunidad en el US Open (Donde Rafa ni jugó) y Medvedev le cerró la puerta. Qué seas más fanático del serbio es totalmente respetable, pero al mismo tiempo, un poco de respeto para Rafa.
@@joaquinlopezhernandez3937 Pero la razón que Nadal no jugó, no fue por que lo cesuraron o prohibieron. No jugó por lesiones que tuvo. Este es un caso totalmente distinto. Novak viajó con la intención de jugar, defender su título mas glorioso y demoatrar por que el es el mejor de todos los tiempos. El oportunista de Nadal solo levantó el trofeo, por que a Novak no lo dejaron jugar. Nadal venía jugando muy mal. Estaba desmoralizado por que Novak lo tenía de hijo y no lo dejaba ganar nada. Bajó mucho de ranking. Y ahora que Nole no eatá de repente gana un GS. Que casualidad, no?
@@newday4512 sigue rascandote q tiene q escocer bastante
@@DaviliyoFPS La verdad ofende, no? Que poca gloria puede tener un deportista cuando le regalan un torneo? Nadal sigue teniendo 20 GS. Y hasta que vuelva Nole, Nadal seguirá con la misma cantidad. Por que todo lo que gane mientras Nole no esté se sabrá por siempre que no fue merecido con honor.
I'm so happy for Rafa! I wanted him to win but believed he couldn't. But then I'm excited to be wrong in this case! Hard luck Daniil! Congrats Rafa!
A Legendary Champion, fighting from 2 sets down to take his 21st Grand Slam! GOAT!
It doesn't even matter if you support Fed, Nole or any other player. You just have to bow to Nadal and his resilience. Today tennis and all of us spectators won. Thank you!
What you won, how tennis won, when champion healthy man was removed from GS.
@@foxskyful Communism won.
Nadal is not Champions. The champions is Novak. Novak the number 1. It is fake
@@newday4512 I'm a die hard Djokovic fan and I knew for sure he could have taken the trophy but it wasn't the case, I' m not into polytics so I ain't discusing this, let's cheer up for Nadal and his great comeback, stop being bitter.
@@mysticpond23 Novak is number 1. He is the king of the Australian open. He didn't play this Australian Open, out of fear or being injured. Novak was dismissed for his ideas of freedom. They did not allow the number 1 and best of all time to defend the best tournament of his. Therefore this Australian Open is invalid. The only reason Nadal lifted that trophy was because Novak wasn't there. Otherwise Nadal would never have done it. Because Nole had him dominated and had him as a son. Nadal was lost because Novak wouldn't let him win anything. Now that Nole is not allowed to prove that he is the best of all time, Nadal's opportunist will take the opportunity to win the awards that belong to Djokovic. This Australian Open is the most hypocritical of all. The most reasonable thing would have been for all
THE MOST IMPRESSIVE COMEBACK OF ALL TIIME.
The miracle for Nadal is that Djokovic did not compete because a stupid aussie government that persecutes its own people. Medvedev did not play the important point as he should have. He made mistakes all along that many other players would have never made at this level and then he played it safe. Djokovic would have never played safe and would have wiped out Nadal in 3 straight sets. Nadal is the AO winner by default. Nothing else to see here or understand.
@@christiankamal7549 nobody cares
@@christiankamal7549 How many tournaments has Novak won in which Nadal (or Federer) have not participated due to injuries or some other reason? What is equal is not an advantage, FACTS
@@christiankamal7549. Djoko made his choice, did his best to cheat his way in, it didn't work. If only he'd vaxxed he just would have lost to Med in straight sets again.
@@christiandejesusdiazpena1233 You would be right if every moment in life were the same. Since it is not, we can only judge or comment on the present. The past does not really count anymore and the past includes the previous second that just vanished.
I love how you can see how happy even the ball girl is in the background right after Rafa wins. Nadal a legend
I noticed that immediately when I watched this video lol. Love it.
@@coryCuc medvedev was treating those ball people so horribly at times.
@@AD-oy8nm I'll admit I didn't see the entire match. But I did see the part where he got onto the ball kids for not having the rotation of the balls correct. Yeah, I wouldn't have acted that way, but I wouldn't categorize it as the worst thing in the world. There are some players that are notorious for treating the ball kids like crap. I can't stand those players.
@@coryCuc Yeah medvedev needs a serious attitude adjustment he's turning himself into a villain telling that one player this is so boring and playing mind games with another
@@AD-oy8nm I disagree. I like his honesty. It's a breath of fresh air. And besides, he feeds off the negative energy. He had every right to be irritated at the crowd. I mean, the booing during his serves, booing after unforced errors. Come on now. The AO fans were pretty bad this year...if they keep this up they'll turn into the FO fans. He's one of the few guys on the tour that will give an honest answer during his press conferences. It's refreshing.
Look at how happy the ball boy as at the end after match point! Shows how much rafa is loved!
Truly one of the best games of tennis I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch
Dedicated fans like you are the reason why I’ve archived so much greatness,I’m not complete without you as my fan; you’re highly appreciated

"it's the miracle in Melbourne" will be remembered forever
A fighter to the end! Congrats on #21🏆
Talk about pressure. That game was insane. that comeback from behind "Incredible". they both gave it their best. ( Congrats Rafa) for winning and Daniil for bringing his best.
The GOAT, no question. No amount of skill could ever match that heart
Nadal has the heart, Novak has the mental strength, and Fed has the grace and the most beautiful strokes. They are all a joy to watch, and so are the top youngsters.
There's only one GOAT and it ain't raf....
This was a fantastic display of courageous playing by Rafa. The negative comments here about either player are idiotic. This was two great players in a fierce competition. Rafa showed us why he is one of the great players in the history of tennis.
th-cam.com/video/k6O5G3fDyLg/w-d-xo.html ❓🤠.....
El Milagro de Melbourne will go down as one of the best matches, best comebacks in history.
VAMOS RAFA
love seeing the ball kid smile after he won.. pure joy!
I remember last year in the final of the US open when Medvedev beat Novak he told him "I never said this but Novak you re the greatest of all time". I guess Nadal taught him a tough lesson today.
It’s 2023 and I’m still watching this masterpiece
Words can't describe how much I love this man
Bruh I can't! Absolute vintage Nadal! What a motivation to NEVER give up!
Unbelievable performance by Nadal. Just amazing how he came back and won this match. 👏👏👏
This is amazing,my mom showed me this since im learning to play tennis and its really fun to watch and learn!
As a Fed superfan, I can't help but be happy for Nadal hitting #21 first. Just amazing from 2 sets down against Medvedev of all people too
My kind of G.O.A.T. The mental strength, his relentless love for the game, his skills, his discipline, and most of all his humility is just unbelievable!
The best comeback of all time and so fitting to show what it takes to win the 21 Grandslam..
Nadal what an amazing achievement
What it took to the win the 21st grand slam was the removal of the best player in the world lol.
@@mikemoggerson6651 Cuz "The best player in the world" is a f*cking idiot.
@@mikemoggerson6651 He could have just been vaccinated. His choice
@@mikemoggerson6651 Djoko had the exact same chance of 21 against the exact same player (Medvedev) and got swept at US open. That’s the difference - down 2-0 in a slam and Djoko choked for 21. Nadal did not.
Not as great as Serena's!
The crowd was SO behind Rafa that you would think the match was in Spain 🎾. LEGENDARY!
Es lo que tiene que tu país no se meta en guerras innecesarias.
Rafa is the epitome of fighting spirit in tennis and probably all of sport.
When he lost his serve, serving for the title at 5-4, i thought Medvedev would finally come through. But again Rafa digged deep and prevailed.
Congrats to both for displaying tremendous mental strength till the last point...Medvedev for fighting against Rafa and also the crowd.

VAMOS RAFA VAMOS!!!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
Along with so many fans I was there for every AO Final heartbreak, and now he does it - in this fashion, with all the history. Have wanted him to win this tournament again for over a decade. So deserved. The spirit of this man is inspiring.
Medvedev showed just as much fight in this match frankly and he's undoubtedly the best player and toughest competitor to emerge in recent times. Hope he won't be too discouraged in the long run - great player and good and interesting person too. What a match.
Honestly, one of most inspiring triumphs of the human spirit I've ever witnessed, up there with our landing drones and helicopters on Mars! All the heartbreaks of Rafa's prior AO misfortunes exorcised in 2 hrs and 39 mins of the most epic and improbable fightback (from 2 hrs 45 mins into the match, when Rafa was down 2 sets to love and 2-3, 0-40 until he triumphed at 5 hrs 24 mins after the match began). Rafa so deserved this, his 2nd AO title, becoming the 2nd man in history to win all slams at least twice, and the first to exceed 20. GOAT
One man's will to win... Never underestimate the human spirit ... Way more powerful than we think .
Couldn’t agree more. We have no idea what our physical body can achieve if we set our mind to it
I am a big rafa fan and the way he came bk and won that match is bloody incredible..21 grand slams now..it will be interesting to see wat happens in the coming months especially as the French open is in May,would b great if rafa could win that and make it 22.Also depends on novak and how he responds as u can't count novak out..I'm not 2 sure bout Roger as u can't count him out either but I've heard he maybe returning after Wimbledon which will make him nearly 41yrs old so I duno his chances of winning another grand slam could be unrealistic but who knows.

yes
Fought Ankle injury 6 months ago when was walking on one leg on crutches and fights of Covid 2 weeks before tournament and comes back to win the tournament in which he always had bad luck and wanted to win Australian open since a decade.
He does it at the age of 35. He overcame his inner demons and brought out the beast in him to get his 21st slam.
Phenomenadal. 🐐 🇪🇸 💪🏆
So happy for Rafa! Never thought he’d make a comeback from two sets down. Incredibly proud of him. Congrats to him on winning his second Australian Open title! Grand slam #21! 🥇🏆🎾 Also proud of Daniil too, I’m sure he’s gonna win an Australian Open title very soon. He’s too good not to!!
Wow! Rafa found his miraculous shots after 2 sets and a break down! I thought Medvedev would win in 3 straight sets. Unbelievable comeback! Congrats Rafa for being the first man breaking the 20 grandslam records!
He wasn't a break down in the 3rd.
You're right! 3rd set, at 2-3, he was 0-40 and got out of it.
One of the best finals of all time
36 hours later... And i still cannot believe it, simply Rafa, the Goat
