@@marcthompson3665 Yeah, a pretty good score line... for Rafa. Roddick was the absolute favorite. #2 in the world and at his absolute best, against a 18 years old kid OUTSIDE THE TOP 50 like Nadal.

17 year old Rafa beat the #1 player, 22 year old Roger Federer, at the Miami tournament earlier in 2004 (6-3, 6-3 on a hard court) when Roger was by far the best player in the world. Roger played in 17 tournaments in 2004 - making 11 finals and winning all 11 of them. Federer lost just 6 matches in all of 2004. But Nadal had already announced his great potential in 2003 when he beat world #7 Albert Costa and world #4 Carlos Moya when Rafa was just 16 years old.
Yeah but was on clay his best surface and Roddick always sucked on clay 😅… I would have been impressed if that boy beat Roddick that year on grass, indoor or hard court!
@@leofurda - Yes, 17 year old Rafa beat 22 year old Roger Federer at the 2004 Miami tournament (6-3, 6-3 on a hard court) when Roger was by far the best player on the planet. Roger played 17 tournaments in 2004 - making 11 finals and winning all 11. He lost just 6 matches all year and won 3 of the 4 Grand Slam singles titles.
This is so unbalanced. These are only the points Nadal won. Really annoys me when people do this without saying in the title it’s only highlights of one player.
@@testingforyoutube Don't give false testimony, because this match was quite close. In this video, only Rafa is emphasized, but in reality it was a relatively close result in 4 sets with two sets decided by tiebreak.
Even with all of Nadal's numerous injuries... Rafa still has the best Grand Slam event winning percentage of the big three. Rafa played in 68 GS tournaments - and won 22 (.324 event W%). Novak has played in 76 GS tournaments - and won 24 (.316 event W%). Roger played in 81 GS tournaments - and won 20 (.247 event W%). Rafa also has a much better head to head record vs. Roger and Novak at the Grand Slams. Rafa was 11-7 vs. Novak (.611 W%) Rafa was 10-4 vs. Roger (.714 W%) Novak was 11-6 vs. Roger (.647 W%) Rafa 21-11 vs Novak & Roger (.656 W%) Novak 18-17 vs. Rafa & Roger (.514 W%) Roger 10-21 vs. Rafa & Novak (.323 W%). Nadal is the best Grand Slam player of the three. And somehow... amazingly, Nadal has this much better record despite the fact that 3 of the 4 GS are played on surfaces that favor Novak and Roger.

Upload the full match!
Why in the world would the ITF post a highlight reel without the score line?
Because in the video Rafa won every point, but in reality it was a reasonably close 4-setter with two of the sets decided by tiebreaks
Listen to the Ump announce it here: @5:46
I like more when tennis was filmed like this. A different vibe. Or maybe the vibe was different anyway back then.
filmed how
@@s9t5 just how the filming looked,I don’t know what they used back then though.
lack of a scoreboard
Nah it was a *TOTAL DIFFERENT VIBE* then than now
This was Nadals 3rd year on tour, i remember this match he advanced his game a lot that year, and then what follow next year was incredible

Ahhhh so thia is the match Andy roddick still laments to this day!
😅
Roddick talked about this match on his podcast last week. After Rafa announced his retirement.
That version of Nadal would have won the gold medal in Paris 2024.
So this was the match Roddick talked about on his podcast - where Rafa was subbed in for Juan Carlos Ferrero.
Roddick was always limited only one great weapon in his serve, forehand was good but not penetratibg enough
It’s funny how Nadal’s forehand changed over the years. Here his grip was clearly a full western. After some time he switched to a semi-western grip
Let’s be fair, the match score was 6:7, 6:2, 7:6, 6:2. Roddick won the first set, so Nadal didn’t dominate this match as shown in this video.
Roddick on clay ,Jesus.
And i love Roddick.

Liked him here without all the butt picking and towels and bottles procedures
Did Rafa win every point in the match? Goodness, show some Roddick highlights too. There must have been a couple.
This year still best of 5 sets thats why vype different
Imagine if Rafa had joined junior U18 tournaments and you had to play against him 😂
ESe pelado de España tiene futuro, no creo que gane roland Garros pero si algun roma o montecarlo
Wow a younger ferrero and baby nadal
Young Nadal was so quick
How does Alcaraz compare to this Nadal?
He doesn't. At least not on clay and mentally. On surfaces like grass Alcaraz is probably better.
На харде Роддик бы выиграл, но Рафа всё равно хорош ❤
