Rafael Nadal rewrote the history books on Sunday after defeating Daniil Medvedev in a marathon Australian Open final to become the first man to win 21 Grand Slam titles...
The Spaniard battled back to win from two sets down for the first time at a Grand Slam in 15 years to complete a remarkable chapter in his extraordinary career, moving him one clear of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in the Slam stakes.
His incredible 2-6 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-3 7-5 victory after five hours and 24
minutes finally finished at 1.11am local time and was his second
triumph at Melbourne Park - his first since 2009, making him only the
second man after Djokovic to win every Grand Slam title at least twice
since the sport turned professional in 1968.
