Sachin Tendulkar was stunned with Rafael Nadal winning a record 21 Grand Slam titles as he rallied from two sets down to defeat Daniil Medvedev in the Australian Open final. In a marathon five-setter, that lasted more than 5 hours, Nadal outclassed the Russian to clinch the Australian Open title in Melbourne.
With the 2-6, 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 win that started Sunday night and was delayed for a while in the second set when a protester jumped onto the court, Nadal also becomes just the fourth man in history to win all four of the sport's major titles at least twice. As soon as he won, Twitter was flooded with congratulations for Nadal.
After Rafael Nadal’s achievement, the ‘Master Blaster’ himself took to his social media accounts to congratulate the champion and wrote, “That is absolutely magnificent. Stunning to say the least. From 2 sets down to come back and win your 21st Grand Slam is incredible. Congratulations @RafaelNadal!”
