The Australian Open is the first of the Grand Slam tennis events held each year. If anyone of our beloved readers aspires to be a tennis player then winning Grand Slam titles is a must. Remember Serena Williams too had such a dream when she was a young teenager. Now she holds the top position of winning maximum Grand Slam singles titles, incredible isn't it?

Before we share the highlights of the Australian Open 2022. It would be worthwhile to share with our little munchkins a little bit about Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) rankings.

Australian Open - Men's Semi-finals
The Men's Semifinals saw Matteo Berrettini battle it out against Rafael Nadal but in the end, Rafal proved to be a match-winner with 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. No prizes for guessing, one reach the top without mastering each stroke like Rafal.

The battle between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev was won by Daniil in four sets - 7-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1. Daniil proved his mettle once again to face Nadal in the finals.
Men's Finals
The men's finals saw true sportsman spirit amongst the finalists - Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev. Rafael Nadal, a Spanish tennis player has an ATP ranking of the first position and has won the maximum Grand Slam Titles to date (21). Daniil Medvedev, a Russian tennis player has an ATP ranking of 2nd position. To date, Daniil has won thirteen Grand Slam Titles.

The finals saw both men play glorious tennis shots. Thrilling aces, volleys and backhands. The crowd couldn't get enough from these two great players. However, it was Rafal Nadal who come out victorious to win his 21st Grand Slam Title - 2-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 7-5.

With prize money of almost 15 crores, we are sure Rafal has the sweetest taste of success and happiness after his win.
