Rafael Nadal’s 6-3, 6-3 victory over Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals of the ATP 500 in Acapulco on Friday night put him through to the 128th tour-level final of his career, and lately, once he gets to a final, he’s been pretty unstoppable.

Nadal has won his last 10 finals in a row, as well as 15 of his last 16 and 21 of his last 23.
