2022 Australian Open – Men's singles final

The 2022 Australian Open Men's Singles final was the championship tennis match of the men's singles tournament at the 2022 Australian Open, contested by sixth-seed Rafael Nadal and second-seed Daniil Medvedev. It was a match of historic proportions for both players: Nadal was attempting to surpass an all-time joint record of 20 major men's singles titles, shared with his great rivals, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, by winning a record 21st major title; and to become the fourth man to complete the double career Grand Slam (after Roy Emerson, Rod Laver, and Djokovic). Medvedev was seeking to become the first man in the Open Era to win his first two major titles at consecutive events (having won the preceding US Open title).

Nadal defeated Medvedev, 2–6, 6–7^(5–7), 6–4, 6–4, 7–5, in 5 hours and 24 minutes to win his second Australian Open title, and a then all-time record 21st major men's singles title. This was the second-longest major final in history after the 2012 Australian Open final, in which Nadal also participated. Nadal became the first player in the Open Era to win an Australian Open final after losing the first two sets, and the first to do so since Emerson in 1965. Nadal also set the record for the longest span between titles at the same Grand Slam tournament; he last won the tournament in 2009, a gap of 13 years. It also marked the third consecutive year a man trailed by two sets in a major final yet rallied to win, following Dominic Thiem's victory at the 2020 US Open and Djokovic's at the 2021 French Open, and only the seventh such occasion in the Open Era (preceded by five French Open finals and one US Open final).
