Rafael Nadal lifted his record-breaking 21st Grand Slam title at the 2022 Australian Open after defeating World No. 2 Daniil Medvedev in the finals last Sunday. Kasatkina, who has always admired Nadal, tweeted that she cried following the Spaniard’s triumph in Melbourne.
In the interview, Kasatkina revealed that it was impossible for her to react in a different manner, especially after watching Nadal reach “all sorts of heights” in the sport even at the age of 35.
The Russian stressed that it was quite evident from the tears in Nadal’s eyes how significant the title was for him. She also stated that Nadal’s journey encourages her a lot since she has also mostly been “sick” since her childhood.

In the same interview, Kasatkina mentioned she has always claimed that Nadal would end up with the highest number of Grand Slam titles, even when he had just 14 Majors. She also believes that following his triumph at the Happy Slam, the Spaniard’s chances of succeeding at the 2022 French Open have also increased to a great extent.
Nadal is most likely to be seen at the 2022 Acupulco Open next, a tournament he has won thrice in his career.
