Rafael Nadal defeated Daniil Medvedev in the final, 2–6, 6–7(5–7), 6–4, 6–4, 7–5 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2022 Australian Open.[1] It was Nadal's second Australian Open title and 21st major singles title overall, surpassing an all-time record he jointly held with Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.[2] He became the fourth man, after Djokovic, Roy Emerson and Rod Laver, to achieve the double career Grand Slam, and the second in the Open Era. Nadal also became the first man in the Open Era to win an Australian Open final after losing the first two sets, and set a new record for the longest gap between Australian Open titles, having last won 13 years previously in 2009.[3]
