The match was finally over. A tired Rafael Nadal from Spain flopped down on the ground. The crowd in the stadium all stood up to cheer.
The 33-year-old man had just beaten Daniil Medvedev who is ten years younger than him. He had won his fourth U.S. Open title. It was also his 19th grand slam title. The match was a hard one. It lasted nearly five hours — the second-longest final in Nadal’s career.
Emotions were already running high. After a video of Nadal’s career was shown in the stadium, the cheers became louder. Nadal, at last, could not hold back his tears. “The emotions are sometimes hard to control,” he said. “All those cheers make this night unforgettable for me.”
When he reflected on his latest win, Nadal still appeared humble. He said his family and team had helped him a lot.
Now, Nadal is just one grand slam title away from Roger Federer, who hold the first position in tennis. Is he thinking about overtaking the Swiss star? The answer is “No”. “I cannot always think about getting more and more. I just try to do it my way. I’m happy about the career I have,” Nadal said.
