Nadal: 'Movie-script finales are for American movies'

Rafael Nadal has said that he is not interested in "movie-script finales" in tennis matches, and that he prefers to win in a more "natural" way.

The Spaniard was speaking after his victory over Roger Federer in the final of the Australian Open, a match that Nadal won in four sets.

"I don't like the movie-script finales that you see in American movies," Nadal said. "I prefer to win in a more natural way, where you have to fight for every point."

Nadal's comments come after a number of high-profile matches in recent years that have ended in dramatic fashion.

In the 2012 Wimbledon final, Federer saved six match points before eventually losing to Andy Murray. In the 2017 Australian Open final, Federer also saved two match points before losing to Nadal.

Nadal said that he understands why some people enjoy these types of matches, but that he does not think they are the best way to win.

"I think it's great for the fans, but I don't think it's the best way to win a match," Nadal said.

"I prefer to win in a more natural way, where you have to fight for every point."

Nadal's comments are sure to spark debate among tennis fans. Some will agree with his preference for more natural wins, while others will argue that the dramatic finales are what make tennis so exciting.

Ultimately, it is up to each individual fan to decide what they prefer.
