Nadal, Medvedev to meet in historical Australian Open final

After the last point, he stopped, beamed a wide grin and then punched the air three times.

Last month, he wasn't even sure he'd be able to return to the tour. But he won a tune-up tournament in Melbourne to start 2022 and has taken six straight matches at the first Grand Slam event of the year. He lost classic five-set finals at Melbourne Park to Djokovic in 2012 and Federer in 2017. Nadal lost in four sets to Stan Wawrinka in 2014 and had a straight-set defeat against Djokovic three years ago.Nadal broke Berrettini's opening service games in the first two sets and, after dropping the third set on a rare service lapse, he rallied to finish off the match in just under three hours.

``To be able to be where I am today, I don't know, I really can't explain in words how important is for me in terms of energy, in terms of personal satisfaction, in terms of being very thankful,'' Nadal said. ``For me it's something completely unexpected, so I am super happy.He said he was taking a different approach to his preparations, but couldn't really change his approach on court.

Historic, not historical. Geez, the state of modern journalism🙄
