Rafa was against all odds in the final. Playing against the best player on hard courts along with Nole, who came with confidence, having a 13-match win streak at majors and who had won the previous major; being two sets to love down and 2-3 0-40 in the third. Arguably the greatest comeback in tennis history.
@@thedieselweasel201 Well, Coria kind of just choked in that final. Although he couldn't physically maintain the same intensity, Medvedev kept hitting stunning shots...it was Rafa who stepped up his level. Also, the final you're referencing was in 2004.
Roger A0 2017 and Rafa AO 2022, two comebacks after 6 month of stopping tennis, two monstrous tournament, two memorable finals in the history of this sport, two legends of the game but one will be on the top and for now it’s RAFA
It is just Rafa saying what Federer and Novak can do, I can do Better Better comeback than Fed 2017 better comeback from 2 sets down in Grandslam final than Novak RG 2021 Hopefully he can better Novak attempt for Calendar Slam Also
He is not one of the greatest but the greatest of all time in the history of tennis. So much attitude, persistence and a fighter. Respect to Rafa. G.O.A.T
With us open coming in second I agree. And Wimbledon and Roland Garros are just shite. With 2 min highlights, no videos likes this one and very few historic full matches
The synonym for transcendence is Rafa. Just to be clear that transcendence is not in the category of superlatives. Transcendence is the dissolution of thought that attempts to describe. It is prior to and beyond every description. Rafa is not superhuman. On the contrary, he is fully human - he fully embraces suffering, he fully breathes self-doubt, he fully respects each and every player, each and every human being across the planet, he fully respects every tennis 🎾 racquet if he's not smashed a single one, he fully loves Real Madrid, he fully respects Roger and Novak, he fully loves humanity. Transcendence when lived is humility, humility, humility. Rafa!
@@votdfak rafa’s regular injuries and Novak’s vaccine issue land them in same level! something has to pull these legends to keep fighting for the ultimate glory of most number of grandslams!!
The greatest player to touch this sport. Grateful to have gotten to watch him growing up, the peak of human performance, well done rafa you deserve it all. Typing this as he just reached the semis of Rolland garros yet again, bring it home Rafa no. 22!
I hope he defeats Sacha today, and whoever in the final, gets #22 and leave a beautiful legacy before he retires 🔥❤️ coz we all know with his age and condition he's not gonna be around (in professional tennis) that long anymore 😭 we love Rafaaa ❤️
For me to reduce Rafas greatness to pure muscle and power is a disrespect, when he’s faced the innate talent and has beaten it countless times. He has the talent and the power
He has at least as good touch as Federer which was improved over the years Rafa started as incomplete player but now has perfected the game for me he is the most talented because he can win points and hit crazy winners from the back fence to one CM behind the net
Yes, it's not just power and technique, it's a genius level, strategy, fast decision making and ability to change the game as come up with solutions. He is superhuman level.
AO best content. Full matches. Extensive highlights. Documentaries like this. French Open is the absolute worst. Five set thriller. Two minute highlight. No full matches even after its over
Dear Australian open, Could you please teach the French open (and other slams and tournaments) how to make proper highlights and content that captures the audience so tennis doesn't seem like a sport that is only watched on cable TV by 70 year olds? Thanks in advance, -Tennis fans.
There could be a movie based on his life! The only player who turns a tennis match into a thriller. A fighter, who never rested, caught between 2 other greats, who had to fight with Federer to get a place and then with Djokovic to continue. And despite all the injuries, he kept going. 13 years of waiting when he could have already had 3 AO. Come on Rafa, you are INCREDIBLE!
Rafael Nadal es el Real Madrid del tenis. Nunca se le puede dar por derrotado.. Rafael Nadal is the Real Madrid of tennis. He can never be considered defeated.
Nadal, Federer, Djokovic, Messi, Ronaldo, Hamilton, Schumacher, Woods, James, Curry and so many more... I consider myself so privileged having been able to witness these giants of their respective competitions. The 2000's truly have graced us with legends so far. I usually don't like to use the following term but: what a time to be alive..
2017 AO was also equally epic i believe.. I think what did Rafa in that tournament was fatigue, especially considering rafa played a huge 5hr 5-setter and only got 1 day rest vs 2 day rest for roger..
Sure thing...but Nadal almost choked a two set lead vs Federer in the Wimbledon 2008 final and again vs Medvedev in the US open final. Nadal is the GOAT because he doesn't choke in most finals and in fact pulls off miracles like the 2022 AO final. He is one of only 2 men with 5+ Grand Slam titles (alongside Richard Sears in the 1880s) to not have a losing record in Grand Slam finals against ANYBODY if including "Pro Slams" finals of the pre-Open Era. Djokovic has losing records in Grand Slam finals against Rafa (4-5) and Wawrinka (0-2) while Federer has losing records against Rafa (3-6) and Del Potro (0-1). Rafa's 2017 French Open final win vs Wawrinka was huge to guarantee no losing record against Wawrinka in slam finals (1-1).
@@nogoodnameleft what's the point of this? The reason why Nadal has a positive h2h in GS final because he couldn't get past round 4 in Wimbledon for 5 years in a row and missing tournaments, of which Djokovic, Federer are winning.
it's 22 now. what a legend🐐🔥.
Who's here after Rafa won another Roland Garros for 14 times making his 22nd GRAND SLAM!! #TrulyMagician 😍❤

guadio vs coria in 2005 french open i believe is also a contestant for best comeback

All whats needed to win such a match is a 90% level nadal, and that's what he did from the 3rd on
It’s not even arguable; this is the greatest comeback in tennis history, especially with history on the line.
Crowd was always supportive to Rafa
Tennis will be so sad when Rafa will retire, this guy is my inspiration and for many around the World. Humble and gracious
Roger A0 2017 and Rafa AO 2022, two comebacks after 6 month of stopping tennis, two monstrous tournament, two memorable finals in the history of this sport, two legends of the game but one will be on the top and for now it’s RAFA

Rafael Nadal is THE GOAT
@@sevaraalimova4706 yup. He is the douchiest of the goats.
I will tell my son that i saw Rafa Nadal, and that is something that makes me feel so so lucky. The best player of the history.
AO content is indeed the best of all the slams. Pretty nice to relive Rafa's path to 21. 🥲
great Rafa!!
22 now :)

Definitely, AO makes the best content. However, I missed the most epic part, when nadal was losing 3-0 40-0 in the 3rd set
When he retires from the game he will break so many hearts including me...what a legend 🙏🙏🙏

I felt like I watched full Australian Open, thank you for this amazing video.
For me the best 21st century tennis players in the world. I'm in Brazil - Sao Paulo.
Nadal has won every major at least two times. And everything is complete now. He’s also currently leading with 21 overall.
Everything is complete????

Everytime I see him punch after the last championship point ... i rem its the 21st Century's 21st slam ... Unbelievable point ... whata player
This video is gonna be viewed for a long long time. Its like a destiny fulfilled.
The story, the journey to GS so beautiful to re live. Thank you Rafa for sharing your thoughts as well.

Wimbledons coverage was pretty bad too. Rarely do we get a highlight of a great shot

What a insane tie break🤯
AO has the most pleasing court to watch on television
Absolutely
He won number 22 as well ❤️
Waiting for #23

Thanks in advance,

Exactly this years French open coverage is soo bad I was banker too watch every single AO game this year but only like two FO omes
Australian tennis, facilities & coverage beats all the other 3 slams
This is one of the clearest 1080p videos I've ever seen in my life
I love rafa

Absolutely wonderful and emotional video this is..
Rafa is GOAT
The 2-3 0-40 moment in the third set of the final needs to be in the recap
Rafael Nadal es el Real Madrid del tenis.
Nunca se le puede dar por derrotado..
Rafael Nadal is the Real Madrid of tennis.
He can never be considered defeated.
No one expected him to do well, much less win the Australian Open '22 but Nadal is Nadal. This is why we love the man.
I want Nadal to beat Djokovic once again in hard courts😢
Uso, if nole is there
Nadal didn't defeat Djokovic on hard court surface since 2013
He defeated him in his prime for sure
Vamos Rafa!👍🇪🇦💪...
