@@letroolmamar3090 or maybe Carlos Alcaraz
Djokovic conquered it 😱
@@tanmaywadhwa211 nadal lost. I dont think he was at his best.
Almagro said in Spanish "he'll win 40 Roland Garro's in a row, he'll be 65 and still be winning."
+Sajid Uddin he probably knows spanish or has seen it been said somewhere.
damn you like tennis too, mad random I found your comment lmaoooo
(i am a sub btw)
+Paulo Morante AYEEEEEEEEEEE
NADAL FAM
It's at 0:49
I know.I speak Spanish. He said exactly that.
Greatest domination of a slam tournament in history
Agreed, that federer Wimbledon streak was second though
To realize this comment is 5 years old when he had 9 titles (compared to the current 13*) hits hard!
@@therockdwarfmockdwarf1476 lmao, Djokovic has 9 AO, Fed 8 Wimbledons
@@andrejmitrovic4958 firstly I commented this 9 months ago so Djokovic didn’t have it back then secondly Wimbledon is more prestigious than the Australian open and thirdly federer’s 2000s run was better as he won 5 in a row which was unheard of
@@therockdwarfmockdwarf1476 no, Djokovic's 9/9 is alot better, simply, won 3 in a row 2x times, no one managed to win 3 in a row even onece, while Federer done that after Borg, but still big achievement.
2013 Semi-Finals against Djokovic, they were both in their prime and absolute best.
DJOKOVIC NADAL 2011 HAD BEEN NR,1 IF IT HAD HAPPENED
@@scottwarren4998 if if if… doesn’t exist
@@tennis-man1902 in 2011, it was pretty dumb that novak faced federer. novak was number 1, and nadal was number 2. The number 1 should have faced the number 4 at the same time as the number 2 should have faced federer who was number 3.
Shouldn't the number 1 have deserved easier opponents until the final, like all the other tournaments already had?
@@scottwarren4998 it’s completely randomized lol, 1 and 2 can face any 3 or 4! Not in our hands lol, maybe the reason is so that the no.1 can stop winning if less lucky
@@tennis-man1902 who do u think wudda won in the semi 2011, if nadal faced djokovic? i wouldn't offer everything i have to see that match, but i would offer something from my life to see the match.
King of clay,no doubt.Central court should be called "Rafael Nadal Arena"!
Marryo Bakotin Novak Djokovic you mean
Zacky V. Yeah you're right it should be named after the guy who's won 1 there (maybe) rather than the guy who's won 9.
Geezer's Christ exactly.Because he is the best player of all time.
Zacky V. I was joking, obviously it would be named after Nadal at Roland Garros, Federer at Wimbledon and Djokovic at the Australian Open.
Geezer's Christ US Open Federer is up there with Sampras, Nadal has 2 and Djokovic 1
If one record in tennis will never be broken, trust me this is the one.
this is actually 5 years old, when rafa had 9 RG, and it was already crazy! the guy has 13 now!
H2H in RG:
Nadal 5 - 0 Federer
Nadal 6 - 1 Djokovic
Nadal 6 - 0 Federer
Nadal 6 - 0 Federed 0
Nadal vs Djokovic 2-1 at the US Open
Nadal vs Federer 3-1 at the Australian Open.
6-0 vs Djokovic realistically. 2015 doesn’t count coz Rafa couldn’t really walk
@@jimnosnow4484 If he couldn't walk, how could he have come out to play and almost won the first set?
And here we are:
2020 year outside, Nadal is still smashing every opponent in Roland Garros, tomorrow will play final against Nole to reach 13th victory at French Open.
Undisputed King of Clay! 🔥
And what a match by Rafa a bagel and complete domination throughout the whole match
This aged so well LOL
I come from 2020 and Rafa has won Roland Garros 13 times, and he got his 20th gland slam!
simply Raf nadal! the greatest fighter!
For those who don't know spanish, at 0:47 he says `he is going to win 40 RG in a row... he will be 65 and still win RG´
What a fantastic camera angle of the Nadal Fed RG 06' final, thanks
Thats what Im thinking about. Never seen such an angle in Recent Tennis matches. Not even in French Open. What could be the reason?
Being sarcastic? I think it was a fresh breath of air to see a different angle for once
Re Creation no chance, terrible angle.
@@goxaviergo11 agree
@@goxaviergo11 Terrible because you never play tennis so you dont understand how good is to feel the speed of the ball
I don't know why sports fans have to always choose sides. Messi or Ronaldo. Rafa or Roger. I like all of them. My favorite year from Nadal has to be 2013. He was on beast mode that season
2017 has got to be my favorite year for Nadal and Federer
Jordan or LeBron
strawhats100 fuck Lebron
Fuck basketball in general boring sport, and I don’t see the fed v nadal thing that much in tennis as both sets of fans love both players cause they r both so likeable and get on irl, it’s more a federer and nadal fans vs Djokovic fans
2010 he was unstoppable
What a legend!
Federer & Djokovic -two of the greatest players ever- at their very best couldn't take him down when he played his A-game..
Djokovic came so close in 2013 but that volley point ruined it for him.
Hope to see this Rafa again in 2016 :)
A game? Forget it! They wouldn't take him down there, even if Nadal Parera were playing his B game! They couldn't.
Yup. But let's not forget that 2013's match was robbed from Djokovic... not because that net point, no, but for one in the 3rd set, 2nd game, that meant the 2-0 for Djokovic in that set, and PASCAL MARIA gave it to NADULL, instead... so 2013 STOLEN match doesn't count. Don't make it count, please.
@@natoskull2 A real men that doesn't have the ethics to admit that Nadal was the winner so what should we do ?
In a particular match between Federer and Nadal Nadal was robbed with a bad call which was clearly out but called in by judge so Federers victory doesn't count ?
What kind of logic is that in every sports there have been mistakes mate...
I can't stop watching this over and over! Rafa, you'll always be my hero, mi idol and, consequently my motivation.
Eres el mejor!
to non-spanish speakers you know what Almagro said at 0:50? "Va a ganar Roland Garros 40 años seguidos. Va a tener 65 años y va a seguir ganando Roland Garros"
translation: "He's gonna win RG 40 years in a row. He will have 65 years old and keep winning RG" LOL
I wondered what it was - thanks. Must be because the old middle class French were refusing to clap.
You will win Roland Garros 40 years in a row. You will be 65 years old and will continue to win Roland Garros. yeah he's right lol.
oh wow is that what he said? Well we are 1/4 way there
On Sunday 11th of October 2020 he won his 13th RG at 34 years of age. Meaning he still has 31 years for winning the other 27 RG predicted by his compatriot Almagro. I don’t know about you but I see it plausible. VAMOS!
Love the camera angle provided for the 2006 tournament. Would love to see more shots from that angle.
Perfect angle
***** y 4 thuggin 9
Thought exactly the same, with that angle you can clearly see the effects applied on the ball
Yes, it gives a better sense of court size, footwork and the power of their shots as well.
The fact that you cannot make such a video of any other person in RG is a testament enough to the great Nadal.
If i had to pick Rafa best year at the FO I would say 2008. That was perfection. Even the final was soo one sided it was actually disappointing. Never seen Fed's so easily beaten.
The year later he lost to Soderlnig with that injury.....and yes he has come back and won another 8 times (LOL) and counting...but 2008 was the Everest of performances.
And now he won his 13th roland garros, without loosing a single set.
Profetic words by Almagro !!!!
He is really the King!! Respect!! 💪💪💪
Bow down to the KING.
Amazing & awesome!! Vamos King Rafa!
I have a few problems with this video- first of all, the 2013 semifinal is easily number one, it might be the best clay court match period. Also, where's his match with Mathieu in 2006? The final with federer in 06 wasn't a very good match...
There are literally a dozen of better clay court matches, this was mainly about Nadal's matches at the French Open, I think Nadal vs Federer Rome 2006 final is great and that match vs Coria may in fact be the best clay court match in the last 15 years.
Nadal federer rome 2006,nadal coria rome 2005,montecarlo 2005...
Vamos Rafa you're the king of Clay
Get the title 10th
yeah he did !
11 already king of clay
is it going to be 12?
12 now
12afa
2008 Nadal at RG was unreal.
2010 and 2017 too
The 2008 beat down of Federer in the final, one of two times when Nadal won the French Open without dropping a set.
Stuart3188 Yay he didn't drop a set this year either
Stuart3188 I mean a beat down smh...that was painful to watch.
rafa was almost ashamed to celebrate in the end after the beating he had given to poor rogere
and the other year was?
19 he lost 2.....bad tournament Rafa..must improve next year... :-)
@@momentumstocks3493 8,10&17 ww are talking about.
Great Rafa moments on the clay. That point at 3:28 was awesome. I never saw Uncle Toni so animated at 9:20!
What a workhorse man ! AMAZING
The greatest ever
wow Nole looked like he saw a ghost after the net contact, never seen him so bewildered.
Just very disappointed in himself I think.
Because he is playing with the god of clay
When you see it closely, he touched the ball way before touching the net with his body
@@deepulse9752 It doesn't matter. The rules says you can't come in contact with the net before the ball bounces twice on your opponents side and the point is over. The point wasn't over yet even though Rafa was not gonna reach that ball. Rules are rules.
Watching after the 2019 final king of clay for a reason 💓
One of the best matches at RG for me is Djokovic Vs Federer SF 2011 is guess where Federer stopped the winning streak of Djokovic
"Va a ganar Roland Garros 40 años seguidos. Va a tener 65 años y va a seguir ganando Roland Garros" - Almagro
Rafa is simply the best..
Over the years Nadal is getting better and better on clay
his shots are so brutal and go deep into the court when he does his amazing top spin
forehand those lower class players litteraly shit their pants.
Wow i just,just can t my favourite matches to watch are Nadal s matches on clay
god bless him i hope that in the future we will have talents like him,
If you compare the size of the center court in RG and the courts in other clay masters events, you will understand why it is so difficult to beat Rafa in RG, even one can beat him in masters events. Basically, Rafa has much more space to retrieve the opponents' balls from behind the baseline
Even in masters he is god. 25 titles
I personally have an opinion.
Nadal is the GOAT for the simple reason of his tennis game. He might not be the guy with most GS (Federer is ahead) but he certainly has been dominant against all tour players for the last 13 years. The only H2H he is down to is Djokovic and just by 2 wins over Rafa. Also, you have to take into account whether people like it or not, Djokovic was far behind on H2H against Nadal, but Nadal had a pretty bad downfall in his game due to injuries and also mentally, so Djokovic took advantage and that's why he is ahead of Nadal only by 2 wins.
Nadal as of to date (which can change, Djokovic is still down just by 1) is the Master of Masters 1000.
His Tennis game alone, no titles, has been so overpowered against any player on tour and nobody can deny that. And maybe still when they retire, Nadal can finish on top of Djokovic on H2H, maybe.
I'm not talking about consistency or titles, that would be Federer in any case. But Federer's tennis game although I love it because is classy and elegant, is not better than Nadal's tennis game at all.
On top of all of this, he has rewritten history by owning this single GS which is RG. He is the King of Clay by a darn good reason.
Some might disagree with my opinion but I believe it's there, is not something that can be denied. Nadal has been better than all top tennis players of his era and yet being the King of Clay, he also mastered grass and hard courts. Something Djokovic and Federer haven't done in their careers, master clay like Nadal. Despite of them winning some clay tournaments including a RG title each. But Nadal has beaten them and dominated them on hard and grass courts throughout their careers, yet Federer and Djokovic haven't dominated Nadal on Clay throughout their careers.
In the end its each individual's opinion and taste. For me, Nadal is GOAT without a question.
I completely agree with your opinion, only the people who have been watching tennis for a long time can understand what you have shared in your comment.I suppose it is a great ideal from you, this is totally fair and exact but it's also the things which are mostly denied by Fed and Nole 's fans for sure
Who asked you to tell whos GOAT.
Just enjoy the game... Don't compare.
Not to mention all the injuries that cost him GS opportunities. He could very easily have 23-24 by now and that’s not even close to an exaggeration. And his injuries are not a fault of his play style contrary to popular belief, but actually just because of a foot defect he was born with.
You are a champion.
And you always be... :)
amazin his anticipation and come up with amazin shots.. and he was able to apply this on grass courts as well (5 time finalists winnin 2).. but as he gets older, grass has become tougher for his anticipation on opponent serves and shots
What à champion vamos Rafa 💔💔💔💔 congratulations for your winning ⭐⭐⭐
This is what makes it worthwhile, to see this two wonderful players being friends in spite of the rivalry
Tribute to da goat
+TheGodliker22 he'd be lucky to be top 5
+Anarkayy are you on crack?
Joe I federer laver djokovic sampras tilden
+Anarkayy how are you gunna put Novak ahead of Rafa, that's premature, he doesn't even have a french open, and nadal hasn't been at the top of his hand this year and no wonder why he's beating him so badly, the head to head is 23-23, and Rafa has beaten him more times in grandslams, and pete doesn't have RG either, Rafa has a gold medal too, in his only Olympic event
Joe I because he's a better tennis player than nadal. already has nadal beat at weeks at #1 because he has actually dominated the sport of tennis for a long time. rather than just winning 1 tournament.
h2h will be in djokovics favor next time they play. nadals h2h carried by clay results & beating pre prime djoko.
LOL olympics. who cares? they barely include tennis in it at all.
sampras played before homogenized surfaces so winning on all was a lot harder. still he was the best player including all surfaces for a very long time unlike nadal.
hope they carve Rafeal Nadal king of clay in the french open centre court!
NADAL IS THE REAL GOAT, still # 1 in 2018 eh?
Nope, Novak ended #1 in 2018
nadal 3rd best ever at best
@@atttimmm2647 lol the guy who has 19 slams and positive h2h against his rivals in slams? Nadal the greatest tennis player ever
Funny how this comment has 21 likes. If you know what im saying, I’ll like this comment after 2022 RG
9:33-9:36 is like the best part of the whole vid lol
Semi Final Against Djokovic in 2013 should be No 1 in my opinion.
It's probably the greatest clay court match ever!
So many great matches between Federer and Nadal. I'm very fortunate to have seen all their finals in Grand Slams.
Amazing video!
Never in the history of mens tennis has such a one as Rafael Nadal appeared,how I miss these glory days,when he was practically unbeatable.
The crowds favorite.
He was a joy to watch,so exiting and unpredictable, full of fire and energy, the mad bull from Majorca!
I cant see him playing like that any more,unless he gets a new coach or two.
Uncle Toni's done a good job ,but unless new fresh coaching is introduced Rafas dominance if over,he is one of the most physical endowed of all players,so it not lack of strength thats the problem, its technique.
Thanks
he is in good Form now...
LeVolVik yes lets hope it lasts for the French and Wimbledon..... really enjoyed Monte Carlo.
I think Nadal is more loved now than when he was in his prime. When he was winning, people would applaud and show respect. But now people miss him and cheer like never before. They love him now.
John Smith iiii
John Smith I never really doubted he could win again after his bad streak. He is one of the greatest and he is proving it again this year
A legend
Anyone after Nadal's 2019 rg win
Top 5 just wont suffice, For him you need Top 9! and maybe more in future! KING OF CLAY! #Amazingguy
When you enter the gates of Roland Garros, you enter the house of Nadal.
4:29 and 14 years later he wins another
Love Rafa tennis and Rafa 👍
I don't know how many people agree but I think his performance in the 2020 Roland Garros final has to be one of his best matches ever
French Open Semi 2013 against Novak was the greatest Clay Match i've ever seen in my life
Now you can add the 2021 semi to the list. #RG2022 Vamos Rafa!
I still take 2012 final as my favorite!
He was brilliant in 2012, so ruthless he showed no mercy on court against his best friend Juan Monaco.
I totally agree , especially that it came after 3 consecutive grandslam final loss to djokovic .
Soran Muhammad He could've easily won all 5 clay events that year, if it wasn't for that blue clay in Madrid.
Nadal Le Roi You right 2008 nadal was unreal at RG. We will never see that again.
陳閎齊 2012 AO final not RG 2012
¡¡Por fin el torneo reconoce a su gran campeón!!
king of clay, no doubt.
Quality wise I think his match against Djokovic in 2014 F was the best I have seen from him
I'm a bit surprised the match between Nadal and Soderling was not mentioned. I say this only because Rafa won back his title after losing to Soderling the previous year in the quarterfinals (I think). Rafa was very emotional after that victory. Nadal Is My Champion!
the scores! We need to see the scores!
Almagro: va a tener 65 años y va a seguir ganando roland garros hahhahah
"He is gonna be 65 years old and he is gonna keep winning roland garros"
No, he is not
but you are, aren't you johnny?
byAEA lhhhkp
@naxohv 2019 and he's still winning
@@Johnny-cz2wv 2020 and he is still winning
im so badly hoping he reaches 17/18 grand slams so theres no debate on who is the greatest tennis player ever!
I'd say Rafa's h2h record against Federer is enough proof he's better than him, in terms of match up.
Onmysheet the problem is Rafas h2h against djoko is very close! if djoko surpass Rafa in their h2h rivalry, then federer-fans will say, look Rafa has also a negative h2h against djoko! but i know it is not comparable because Rafa is leading federer by a big gap!
Onmysheet That's only because Nadal can exploit Federer's only weakness. They're both the greatest players ever but Federer's better stats and the fact that he's world no.2 at 33 years of age puts him at an advantage for me.
Bryan Kwong A lot of people go on about the age gap, but i still think Nadal would still lead the h2h record. Federer would have more wins than 10.
h2h and carrer achivements are two very different things,nadal has better h2h but federer achivements are superior in number weeks number at 1, GS titles,WTF titles,number titles overall.
bon courage Rafa pr Roland Garros 2016 vamoooooooos
Love you Rafa.... Love u love u love you.....
After final 2020 the greatest match is missing!!
We need a couple of new videos...
13 ROLAND GARROS!
Here after his 13th Roland Garros
I think his match vs Paul Henry Mathew is huge better than RG Final 2006
what a times
Anyone after Nadal's Spectacular 2020 win?
vamos rafa
very incredible is the king the best
And the 2008 Roland-Garros final ???? The destruction...!!!
The best match in Roland Garros is against Soderling, it was awesome
Once upon a time, they are so young
what is great is that the only year Nadal lose rg, it´s Federer who wins. It enabled him to complete the chelem collection while now it seems complicated for him to win rg again.
He is really impressive
What a player rafa
The best in the history of Tennis
And yes, the profety of Almagro is now a fact, Nadal has won his 12 RG!!
13!
How could anyone think that the 2011 final is better than the 2013 semi?!
Nice
Top moment of Roland Garros No.6 - Djokovic's fans talking like it was a foregone conclusion that he would lift the 2015 trophy, talking about him dishing out 'bagels' to people etc. Ironically the final 'bagel' of this tournament is the number of Roland Garros trophies Novak has lifted - 0
Geezer's Christ No disrespect to Novak - just funny all the talk from the fans.
He'll lose in the final again next year :D
+Geezer's Christ I agree Novak is over hyped
+ian laing same, he needs a Roland Garros
Joe I well he got one
Undisputed King of Clay tbh.
And 2017 final was the best... To be continue
The match against Paul Henri Mathieu was epic
Oh c'mon, where's Nadal's banana shot and passing shot in the 2013 semi final?
The lob and the in the run forehand shot.
Inoubliable moments.fontastic
It's impossible to pick ''the top 5 moments of Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros'', and it'd be difficult to pick a Top 10.
I think that the 2010 Roland Garros has to be included because in that tournament Nadal came back to win after having lost in the previous year, and he did against the very same opponent that defeated him that previous year.
I also think that the 2012 Roland Garros has to be included because in that tournament Nadal broke Borg's record for most Roland Garros titles won.
And I think that the 2014 Roland Garros has to be included because it was his last victory in the tournament.
It's hard to pick!!!!
Nadal 13 roland garros. The king.
I am a die hard Rafa fan, but to not have the John Isner 5 set match in this is a crime.
the biggest victory was 2005 SF vs Roger for Rafa. How did you miss that??
King Rafa.
