Anyone else watching awesome match so far, Nadal hopefully on the way back.

Brilliant comeback, what a player at his age and with all of his recent injuries.

I was supporting Medvedev, but yeah an absolutely brilliant final!

Will be interesting to see if he can remain injury free this season

I thought Nadal would be done by his late twenties because of the highly physical, very intense way he plays the game. The fact that at 35 he can fight back to win a five set Grand Slam final against a quality opponent ten years his junior is astonishing really.

Agree, it looked like he was really struggling with fitness for the first two sets (particularly the way he was sweating) but he certainly turned it around, and over 5 hours competitive sport at any age would be a drain.

I'm glad to say also with Nadal that there has never been any suggestion of any use of PEDs to sustain his energy. He seems to be a legitimately clean athlete with exceptional ability and thus a worthy champion.

Pickle juice apparently is the key!
