Nadal reveals who he'll be supporting in Open final
- On Friday, Rafael Nadal flew into Melbourne and will attend Sunday's final at Rod Laver Arena to support Alcaraz, the 22-year-old Spaniard, after retiring in 2024.
- Citing their Paris Olympics doubles partnership, Nadal said `But if I have to support someone, I feel I have to support Carlos`.
- Describing Alcaraz as the favourite, Nadal said he likely recovers better from the cramps that hindered him in his five-set semi and expressed `full respect` for Novak Djokovic, adding `If Novak wins, I will be happy for him`.
- A Djokovic win would deliver his 11th Australian title and take him to 25 major singles titles, surpassing Margaret Court, while Alcaraz can become the youngest to win all four slams.
- Djokovic's gruelling semi-final underlines his match management skills and enduring competitiveness after an early-hours five-set semi against Jannik Sinner and a 3am press conference with history on the line.
