Rafael Nadal defeatedDaniil Medvedev inthe final, 2–6, 6–7(5–7), 6–4, 6–4, 7–5 to win the men's singles tennis title at the2022 Australian Open.[1] It was his secondAustralian Open title and 21stmajor singles title overall, surpassing theall-time record he had jointly held withRoger Federer andNovak Djokovic.[2][3] Nadal became the fourth man, afterRoy Emerson,Rod Laver, and Djokovic, to achieve thedouble career Grand Slam, and the second in theOpen Era.[4] He also became the first man in the Open Era to win the Australian Open final after losing the first two sets.[5] This marked the third consecutive year a man trailed by two sets in a major final yet rallied to win, following Djokovic's two-set comeback at the2021 French Open andDominic Thiem's at the2020 US Open.[6]
Djokovic was the three-time reigning champion,[7] but did not compete afterhis visa was cancelled shortly before the tournament began due to an intervention from Australia'sImmigration MinisterAlex Hawke, citing risks to public health and good order in Australia.[8] That meant Nadal was the only former champion (2009) to compete in the tournament, with both Federer andStan Wawrinka sidelined by injury.[9] Djokovic retained theworld No. 1 singles ranking despite being unable to defend his points after Medvedev andAlexander Zverev lost in the final and fourth round, respectively.[10]
Matteo Berrettini became the first man born in the 1990s to reach thequarterfinals at all four majors,[11] and the first Italian man to reach the semifinals of the Australian Open.[12]
This also markedFeliciano López’s 79th consecutive grand slam appearance, and Open Era record previously held byRoger Federer. López streak started at the 2002 Roland Garros tournament and concluded 20 years later in Melbourne.
