11:57 I think this is one of the rarest moments Rafa slammed his racket with anger. Of course he didn't break it considering the way he threw it and it seemed it just went to the racket bag.
Youzhny at one point went up 4-3 vs Rafa on hard courts... Winning one in a final 6-0 6-1, and the other in a tight four setter at a Major... Pretty impressive from Mikhail.
The 6-0 6-1 was at Chennai in 2008, Rafa played the previous day a Marathon vs Moya on 3 tie-breaks and 4 hours game duration, he was totally destroyed.
Really bizarre to see Nadal picking on Youzhny's forehand here, especially since he has a one-handed backhand. And when he did go to his backhand it wasn't the high topspin we normally see him with against Fed.

Nadal’s forehand technique seemed to change drastically once the clay court season started in 2007
I remember this match, a classic. Inspired tennis from the Frenchman, his most memorable match
Frenchman ??? Youzhny was Russian
@@魚-c3d It's so cringe when people think they know stuff but end up saying the wrong things
@@TheseHoesAreLoyal true, but I guess he thought he was commenting under the Tsonga vs Nadal AO match. Don't know how he got the video wrong though 😂
