Rafael Nadal, of Spain, reacts after scoring a point against Daniil Medvedev, of Russia, during the men's singles final of the U.S. Open tennis championships Sunday, Sept. 8, 2019, in New York. Last Updated Sunday, September 8, 2019 11:47PM EDT
"One of the most emotional nights of my tennis career," said Nadal, who covered his face with his hands while crying when arena video boards showed clips from each of his Slam triumphs. But the 23-year-old from Russia did not go gently into the night. He broke right back to 3-all, then again to claim that set and yet again to end the fourth.Not since 1949 has anyone won a U.S. Open final after trailing by two sets to none. Never before had Medvedev won a five-set match. Only once before had Nadal lost a Grand Slam match after taking the opening two sets.At the very end -- or what appeared to be the very end -- Nadal couldn't close it out.
Two points later, it was over, and the indefatigable Nadal was splayed on his back on the court, as he's been so often at the conclusion of energy-sapping, will-challenging, high-stakes matches.
