Hvem vandt mændenes finale i tennis?
Rafael Nadal
2017 Australian Open – Men's singles final
Finalen i Australian Open 2017 i herresingle for mænd var mesterskabskampen i herresingle i Australian Open 2017. Den blev spillet mellem Roger Federer og Rafael Nadal, som var placeret på henholdsvis 17. og 9. pladsen i verden. Det var deres rekordniende møde i en Grand Slam-finale i deres rivalisering, og deres 1. møde i en Grand Slam-finale siden French Open 2011. I en omkamp fra Australian Open-finalen fra 2009, som Nadal vandt i 5 sæt, vandt Roger Federer duellen i 5 sæt og slog Nadal for første gang i en Grand Slam-finale siden Wimbledon-finalen i 2007. Han var også bagud 3-1 mod Nadal i sidste sæt, men vandt 5 partier i træk for at vinde titlen. Dette afsluttede en 6-matchers nederlagsserie mod Nadal i Grand Slam-turneringer. Da Federer havde tabt alle deres tre foregående møder, var det første gang, at Federer besejrede Nadal ved Australian Open, og det var også Federers første Grand Slam-sejr over Nadal uden for Wimbledons græsbaner. Federer udvidede sin rekord i Grand Slam-titler i herresingle til 18, hvilket var tredje gang, at han slog sin egen rekord, efter at han havde slået den tidligere rekord på 14, som Pete Sampras havde holdt.
