    Time for that trophy presentation. Lots of very important people on the stage, including Rod Laver, who will do the honours.

    There are tears coming from Rafa's eyes. They got to him. He's balling, he's streaming.

  4. Medvedev 5-7 3-6 7-5 6-4 4-6 Nadal

    As a montage is played of Nadal's US Open wins over the years, he's sitting in his chair in tears.

    Medvedev, meanwhile, looks like he just wants to get the trophy presentation over and done with.

    Steeros: Work in the morning is going to be utter hell, but it'll be worth it. That was a final that had everything! Unreal from Medvedev, but another example of just what makes Nadal, Nadal. Superb tennis

    R Molloy: YES RAFAAAAAAA!!!! Got there in the end! I have no nails left, but glad I stayed up to listen.

    David Hartley: An all-time classic. A victory for Rafa but this will be remembered as Daniil Medvedev’s night. He provided us with one of the grittiest, most hard-fought men’s single finals in recent memory. What a talent! My heart breaks for him

    Nadal's back, with a fresh top on.

    "VAMOS" he shouts while saluting the crowd.

  11. Medvedev 5-7 3-6 7-5 6-4 4-6 Nadal

    Nineteen Grand Slam titles. Four US Open titles.

    That's one he won't forget. EVER.

    Absolutely phenomenal performance from Medvedev. He has shown how mentally tough he is. his determination is spectacular and he has shown that is an absolute superstar athlete.

  13. Medvedev 5-7 3-6 7-5 6-4 4-6 Nadal

    Nadal has walked off court, looking absolutely exhausted.

    That must have been the most stressful Grand Slam win that Rafa's ever had.

    Russell Fuller
    BBC tennis correspondent at Flushing Meadows

    Nadal has won. He has prevailed again in New York and for the 19th time, he's a Grand Slam singles champion. Finally now, Nadal can enjoy his Sunday evening in New York.

  16. Medvedev 5-7 3-6 7-5 6-4 4-6 Nadal

    Nadal collapses to the floor. It's over.

    Medvedev's return from a Nadal serve is too long.

    My word, that was something else.

    FOUR HOURS 51 MINUTES.
