MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2022: Rafael Nadal won a men’s record 21st Grand Slam singles title after coming back from two sets down to beat Daniil Medvedev in an almost 5 1/2-hour, five-set Australian Open final. He’s also just the fourth man in history to win all four of the tennis majors at least twice. The victory in Australia allowed Nadal to break a tie he shared with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Top-ranked Ash Barty ended a 44-year drought for Australians by winning the women’s singles final over American Danielle Collins. Barty became the first Australian to win the singles championship here since Chris O’Neil won the women’s title in 1978.
