Rafael Nadal and Ash Barty Make History Down Under!

Rafael Nadal is a 21-time champion and Tennis Hall of Famer Steve Flink joins Richard Pagliaro and host Chris Oddo to break down the Spaniard's historic achievement on Sunday.

But we don't begin until Nadal chatter until we break down Ash Barty's magical run to the title on Saturday. Barty set the tone for a very special weekend at the Australian Open when she defeated Danielle Collins to become the first Aussie to capture a singles title at Melbourne since 1978.

We discuss the extraordinary talents of Barty, and take a close look at her serve and her tactics, which made her virtually unstoppable as she rolled to the title without dropping a set.

Once Barty was given her due we did a deep dive into the Nadal Medvedev final, which featured the Spaniard's third comeback from two sets down at a Slam and just fourth overall - but coming back from two sets down was a feat he had never accomplished in a Slam final.

So how did Nadal do it?

And what could Medvedev have down to stop him?

And, finally, where does Nadal's triumph put him with regard to Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer? Obviously it was a massive win for his legacy, but how big?
