That's because the rest are worse than ever. The Big 3 are old and off-prime, yet they win more easier matches now than in the past. The tour sucks right now.
Rafa is now a true monster of tennis. Good condition + boosted confidence + Formidable services + better shot placement. Hopefully he'll get to 19 GS collection. Bravo Nadal.
To play against Rafa- you have to understand the he goes after every ball and he puts every ounce of energy into it. If the opponent is not spot on in their game and doesn't start taking charge then they don't have a chance! Rafa thrives on dictating the game! He is the intimidator!
I wouldn't say that he is dictating the game most of times he is more of a defensive player but his lift is unplayable at a certain point if you don't end the point against him you lose
Chris M they said the same before Aussie open final and Wimbledon semi, and on both occasions he lost fairly comfortably. Just because he is steamrolling lower ranked players does not mean he will beat either roger or Novak. This ain’t clay
I think Nadal is more comfortable on US courts than the Australian and I think he will learn from the Australian,bear in mind Nadal and Djokovic have met in 3 US open finals and won 2 of them,I hope Nadal wins this year
Nadal's shots are just too beautiful! His shots curve, dance, bounce, slide and more :) no other player has the same shots that make you say nothing but "wow"......
First Congrats Nadal. Chung, it was really nice to see you playing well after the long injury. Take some rest and keep going for the rest of the year. 정현선수 수고 많았습니다. 빡빡한 일정에 체력적으로도 부담이 컸을텐데 잘 싸워줬네요. 남은 커리어 부상없이 스텝바이스텝 하기를 기도할게요. 정현 가즈아아아아 ~~~!!
Chung was exhausted the guy is seriously talented but seeing a tall man with quads like him with a shit serve is disappointing. He has to improve the serve at six foot two he is a good height. Needs a bigger serve and get some easy points.
Nadal fan here. All he needs is one win over them on Hard Courts or Grass. The lack of confidence gets him. On Clay, he has a different status. Cannot describe, GOAT seems bit lose a term for what he is on Clay. Because of his utter dominance, his name will remain in the Tennis books for a very long time, so he seems not too worried about the GOAT race. Also, the fact that Djokovic and Federer are better on those surfaces plays a huge part.
Sushrey Srivastava I have the same opinion bro.He just needs one win over them in other courts.Just once and that can make him confident to beat them regularly in other surfaces like before.
@WARRIOR FIGHTER PAHLAWAN The fact that you have to mention a game from 5 fucking years ago proves that Roger is too much for Nadal today outside of clay, he has lost to Fed every matches ever since.
He had 2 five setters before this. Last year he beat Djokovic in straight sets at the Australian and then had an injury and hasn't played in a year. Mark my words, Chung is going places.
Chung seemed tired, there were many shots which he would normally retrieve that he didn't even try to run for, it would have been hard to beat nadal even if he was fully fit though
Well done, Nadal, today's practice with the current world 170 Hyeon Chung a fluke semifinalist at AO 2018!. No sweat, no pressure, no gesture of triumph after the match from Nadal. How easy and comfortable is it?
@@duaruatolu9248 ATP 100 players play tennis for 4 hours everyday except only a 2 weeks break in the end of the year. If Chung got even one set from Nadal, I can admit the reason and he was not prepared to play the match. But it is only a miserable excuse.
Nadal played a poor match today as per his standards. This tactical clay court like game will work against and if not, overpower other players except Fed and Djoko. Didn't before. Then again he didn't need to produce against a tired Chung. Next round will be more of an indication.
Yep! You see, tennis is all about *eQuALiTy* Women's tennis demands equal amount of prize money as that of men, yet their matches are best of 3 while men's matches are best of 5. For anyone new to tennis like yourself, this might take a bit to while to digest, but in the end it's all about *eQuALiTy*
If Rafa wins this year that will give him a major boost for the aussie open as he then knows he will probably pick up that 20th slam either in oz or at the french. Dangerous times for Roger
Against the top 3, Hyeon Chung needs to go without wearing glasses against these guys he needs every bit of details of what his opponent is doing and the position of the tennis ball while dynamically in plays. With his glasses it's a setback since the lens cloud up and the frame causes blind spots miniscule as it be, every detail and early info helps a player better to prepare for an offensive or defensive winning shot. Additionally against the top 3 they're at another level so Hyeon needs to be best equiped as possible. I hope somehow Hyeon losses the glasses to get the edge back and contends for within top 7 ranking within 3-5years. From history I don't know any men wearing glasses was able to achieve ranking within the top 5 players, do you?
As expected. Chung did ok but he must have been feeling tired. Had to go through qualifying and then played back to back 5-set matches. Nadal's first big test will be against Cilic and then Schwartzman or Zverev.
Wawrinka Medvedev Federer is the toughest path for Djokovic but I doubt, with his shoulder pain, he can beat Wawrinka. Nadal has Cilic and Federer Goffin in pre quarters. The 2R s should get through. Federer may not last the gruel till Finals. Rafa has the best chance among the Big 3 to win USO 19.But again, strange things have happened.
I don't think nadal was good today.. he really missed a lot of shots that he usually likes.. and he really need to play better then this if he's willing to lift the trophy happy that he won though
Chung knew he'd gotten a lesson when he smiled at the net. Nadal just too strong and Korean made some strategy/stroke errors (like hitting right back to Nada on the volley). Rafa with that pirate sneer LOL
It's a totally different story, then he was playing his first tournament in almost 4 months, now I think it's his 11th in a row, he is moving far better now
younf rafa was mentally a different beast! what has happened to him? no way nowadays he would win a match like 2008 wimbledon! what a mental beast he used to be!
m flabergasted by some ppl who believes RAFA is just made for clays.. IF RAFA , DJOKER, N FED WAS TO PLAY IN DIFFERRENT ERAS THEN THEY ALL WOULD'VE 40 SLAMS EACH.. The day Rafa nFed retires, it would b the saddest day for us tennis fans...VAMOSRAFA...
Very lackluster performance from Chung, felt like he gave up from the very start. Would’ve loved to see him put up a better fight, like what we saw last year against Novak
It’s crazy how much better Rafa, Federer and Djokovic are than everyone else
And this in every grand slams
That's because the rest are worse than ever. The Big 3 are old and off-prime, yet they win more easier matches now than in the past.
The tour sucks right now.
at least there's Medved and Kyrgios. Roger and broken Novak can lose any moment
Era of pure choking and tanking
@@GeneralArmorus kyrgois so overrated
I'm very proud of CHUNG HYUN cos he only 22years young guy and overcomed lots of injures he will become great player in this tough field in the future

Nice to see Chung back, hopefully he can stay injury free and climb the rankings.
In this match he doesn’t try to take the control like he did at the australian open one year ago... he generally seems play like novak but today not

You do a much better job in not spoiling the results in the title than those guys at ESPN. Thank you.
Rafa warming up for Cilic and possibly Zverev. Make no mistake about it, Rafa wants a crack at No.19.
Cilic is dangerous
shariff ismail Rafa will win in straights, Cilic was bad today, had 17 double faults and if he does that against Rafa he’s getting smoked
I think peque could upset sascha
The only person that even has a shot at Rafa is Novak. But not with a busted shoulder.
@@goldwolf0606 his shoulder last night didn't look too busted but who knows 🤷♀️ Nole's road gets a lot harder than Rafa's
1:40 nadal still looking to see if his ball stayed in... :)

You absolutely right! like at Roland garros 2019?
Haters can't digest Nadal power of success ! LOL
A healthy Chung is a very dangerous player.
Not against Rafa...
0:57 Omg he punished so bad for that volley
3 Goats in one tournament , how can you take the title ??
He had 2 five setters before this. Last year he beat Djokovic in straight sets at the Australian and then had an injury and hasn't played in a year. Mark my words, Chung is going places.
They are on completely different level
Cilic will be a good test. Rafa needs to step up the level. Last 2 hard court matches with Cilic has been very tight.. Toronto 18 and AO 18.
AO 2018 Nadal was injured. He is healthy now.
And Cilic is very outform
Cilic is in bad form
Chung seemed tired, there were many shots which he would normally retrieve that he didn't even try to run for, it would have been hard to beat nadal even if he was fully fit though
ABC, CBS, NBC completely ignoring this event like it doesn't even exist.
unbelebeble nadal crusing swiftly
A perfect finish doesn't exist-
2:35
Its amazing that the big three look almost unbeatable until they play themselves.
3 minute highlights? Jeez thanks!
Not vintage Rafa at all by any means but it was not necessary. He did enough without wasting energy. The real matches start from the next round.
Unbelieble
Will this be the year we finally see Nadal vs Federer at the flushing meadows?
Even though he was exhausted from his schedule, Chung fought very well against Nadal🔥
When i see Rafa, i think boss
Thank you~~

Chung has to do something with that serve. It’s no reason why he shouldn’t be consistently hitting bigger serves.
When Nadal is returning that far behind the baseline... might as well try the Kyrgios underhand 😂
Next gen my ass! Chung hyeon the one hit wonder once defeated Djokovic then gone nowhere else to see.
