Nike has rolled out a film to congratulate Rafael Nadal after the Spaniard won a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam title on Sunday. The film is live on its social media channels. Nadal beat Russian Daniil Medvedev at the Australian Open final.

The film features a scoreboard taking note of his Grand Slam titles along with commentary from some of his iconic games. There's also a bit about experts doubting him after Nadal didn't win a single Grand Slam in 2015 and 2016.

Advantage, Nadal.
