Nadal wins Australian Open, now has 21 career grand slam titles. That's a lot. Can he get another at the French Open? He's great on the surface, but the Frenchs' famed moral flexibility is allowing Djokovich to play in it.

Ugh, I should have stayed off this board. Will still watch replay. Happy for Rafa. Not a Medvedev (or Djokovic) fan. Medvedev will have plenty more opportunities.

It’s still no guarantee Novax will be allowed to play. It’s the hardest to win and it’s Rafa’s best surface, so a tough tournament for anyone to win.

Really? I've seen multiple articles saying he's in under the french's 'documented covid in the last six months' exemption. I too would still favor Nadal on clay.

I believe there is some doubt he actually had COVID. But, we’ll see.

Just finished watching. Wow what a match by Nadal. Showed some real grit out there. Making desperation shots I've never seen him do before. To be playing 5 setters like that at his age is truly astounding.
