Melbourne Australia January 28 ANI Rafael Nadal, who barely raised a sweat en route to his sixth Australian Open final on Friday, said he wasn't expecting to reach the summit in Melbourne.
Spaniard, who has won the 20-time Grand Slam champion, is one match away from becoming the greatest champion in history after defeating Matteo Berrettini 6 -- 3, 6 -- 2, 3 -- 6, 6 -- 3 in the semi-finals of the AO.
After the win, an emotional Nadal was keen to put things into perspective after winning, reflecting on his journey to another Grand Slam championship match after struggling with a foot injury for the second half of the 2021 season.
