Rafael Nadal cries while watching U.S. Open video montage of his 19 Grand Slams

Rafael Nadal was overcome with emotion while watching a two-minute video montage of his 19 Grand Slam titles after he won the U.S. Open on Sunday.

Nadal began crying and wiped his face with his hands. He had just won a 4-hour, 51-minute epic over Daniil Medvedev 7-5, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4.

“At the end with the video, the crowd that have been as always amazing, all these facts that make the moment super special, no?” he said. “Unforgettable moment.”

Nadal, with his fourth U.S. Open title, moved one Grand Slam title shy of Roger Federer‘s record 20.
