Rafael Nadal won a fantastic US Open final against a die-hard Daniil Medvedev. The Spanish sensation is now just 1 slam away from Roger Federer’s fantastic record (20).
The Spanish sensation went through a lot in his career fighting and “defeating” countless injuries and physical problems.
The US Open organization had the fantastic idea of showing on the big screen Rafa’s 19 slams. The Spanish legend was visibly emotional to burst into tears during the video.
Later he admitted that during the video he was just thinking about all the things that he had to go through to achieve that.
