Rafael Nadal won the Australian Open this year, writing his name in history books as the first man to have won 21 Grand Slams. He had repeatedly underplayed his chances at the title this year, during the pre-tournament press rounds, as well as in his post-match press conferences. He also mentioned how, just a few months ago, he and his team were unsure whether he could be back on tour at all.
