This was the second Grand Slam meeting for Medvedev and Nadal, who are establishing an epic intergenerational rival.
Following Nadal's first-round victory at the 2022 Australian Open, he told Eurosport Spain: "A month and a half ago I didn't know if I would play tennis again at a professional level due to various factors, including the problems I've had with my foot and with COVID." Then, in December 2021, Nadal suffered from a breakthrough case of COVID-19. Nadal was sidelined with a recurring foot injury since last May, even having to undergo an operation that left him on crutches just four months ago. I can't thank you enough for all the support that I received since I arrived here." "And today, I am here in front of all of you having this trophy with me and you really don't know how much I fought to be here. "One month and a half ago, I didn't know if I was going to be able to be back on the tour playing tennis again," Nadal said in his post-match speech.
