Tennis legend John McEnroe is in awe of Rafael Nadal as the Spaniard nears a famous Australian Open title, emulating Roger Federer’s own stirring win Down Under in 2017.
Nadal will move clear of Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer atop the all-time ratings if he secures a 21st career Grand Slam at Melbourne Park. The Spaniard has impressed throughout the tournament, dropping just four sets en route to a final berth.
He is chasing a second title at the Rod Laver Arena after winning the Australian Open back in 2009 - and Nadal has reached the final following a four-set triumph over Matteo Berrettini. Nadal saw off the 25-year-old in a fairly straightforward contest, triumphing 6-3 6-2 3-6 6-3.
