‘Rafa always shows us what Sport is all about,’ Twitter erupts as Roger Federer, Lando Norris, and other sporting icons applaud Rafael Nadal for claiming 21st major title

Rafael Nadal

What Rafael Nadal does on a tennis court is incredible at times. On Sunday, tennis fans witnessed one of the greatest moments in Grandslam history, as he came back from two sets down to defeat Daniil Medvedev in the finals of Australian Open 2022.

The Spaniard went on to become the first player to win 21 major titles, as he collects his 2nd Australian Open title and completes his Double Career Grandslam. Sporting icons from all around the world applauded Rafael Nadal for this incredible feat.

Rafael Nadal came back from a career-threatening foot injury which kept him out of action for the last half of 2021 season. The Spaniard was certainly not among the favorites to claim the title in Melbourne, but yet he did in the most thrilling end to the tournament.

Sporting legends congratulate Rafael Nadal for incredible feat!

Tennis legends like Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer applauded Rafael Nadal for claiming his 21st major title. Former cricketer, AB de Villiers, Formula One driver, Lando Norris all took to Twitter to congratulate Rafael Nadal.
