The Swiss maestro won grand slam number 18 by beating long-time rival Rafael Nadal in five sets on Rod Laver Arena. At 35 and having not won a major title since 2012, he showed everyone he’s not about to fade away just yet.
The Swiss won grand slam number 18 after beating fierce rival Rafael Nadal 6-4 3-6 6-1 3-6 6-3. It was the fifth time he’s held the trophy aloft at Melbourne Park and the first time he’s played three five-set matches at a grand slam, after earlier epics against Kei Nishikori and Stan Wawrinka.
