ESPN reports:
Rafael Nadal made history in epic fashion Sunday at the Australian Open, rallying from two sets down in the final to beat Daniil Medvedev and win a men’s record 21st Grand Slam title.
The Spanish southpaw had been in a three-way tie with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic atop the all-time list for men’s major winners but now stands alone thanks to his second career title at this hardcourt Grand Slam.
The sixth-seeded Nadal also became just the fourth man in history to win all four of the tennis majors at least twice. He last won the Australian Open in 2009.
