Daniil Medvedev’s loss at the Australian Open 2022 must have been hard for him to take. The Russian won the first two sets and had a breakpoint at 3-2 in the third set. Almost everyone had been expecting him to win his second Grand Slam title, but Rafael Nadal had other plans.
He turned the momentum around, from being two sets down, and in a tremendous display of grit and never-say-die attitude, overpowered the Russian.
