Rafael Nadal won a historic 21st Grand Slam title Sunday after coming back from two sets down to stun Daniil Medvedev and win the Australian Open.

The 35-year-old Nadal surpassed Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic with his 2-6, 6-7 (5/7), 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 victory in a titanic five-hour and 24-minute match to become the all-time greatest men's major winner.
