Rafa Nadal scored one of the tournament points in the 2022 Australian Open final against Medvedev. The Spaniard brought the crowd to their feet with an extraordinary backhand after an exchange of no more and no less than 40 shots. Big words.
Everything happened in the second set, with 2-1 on the scoreboard and in full comeback of Nadal against Medvedev. The Russian had prevailed in the first round (6-2) and the Balearic left one of the points of the tournament to break the service of the number 2 in the world. After an exchange of a total of 40 strokes (the most in the match) the Spanish tennis player pulled a setback from his sleeve that put the Rod Laver Arena on its feet.
