Rafa should also receive a trophy of “Never -broke - racquet “ in his tennis career, such a role model for humankind in general .
This is the happiest moment in the history of tennis:
1) 21 grand slams, finally surpassing Federer and Novak of course.
2) Came back from 2 sets down to do it.
3) Did it through injury and covid.
4) Shut all those haters up for good.
This god of tennis has made the world so unbelievably happy, absolutely congratulations on what seems like a impossible feat 👏👏👏
This God of tennis had his a** handed to him by no other than Novak at the last RG and it will happen again,at least once 😁
@@nonameman3741 I remember you that Djokovic loose the US open against Mendevev and Djokovic didnt came from any injury. Mendevev has loose against Rafa that came from a injury 7 months back 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
I agree with all of your points except point 4: the haters will never shut up! 😉
@@nonameman3741 No-vax got his a** handed to him by Rafa in the 2020 RG when Rafa bageled him in the first set lol
@@jameskent9759 I hate to admit it, but you're probably right.
Didn't play for 7 months, had Corona, is 35 and came back from 0-2 down. Let that sink in! Nadal is just something special!
And is 10 years older than the guy he beat 🐐
Djokovic could never
@@Reverend-ek6kt Djoković could ever,are you forgetting that he put Nadal in his place at the last RG ??? And he will do it again !!!
@@nonameman3741 oh yeah when nadal had already suffering from a foot injury. We know btw djoko lost in us open against Medvedev 3-0 sets. He had no covid, no injury and surgery out for 7 months, 0-2 behind in sets, 2-3 in games 0-40. But alright 👌
@@nonameman3741 put Rafa in his place lol 13 RG. Winning in París is his place. That was a bad day for him, that's all. These three Monster have beaten each others several times. It Just happens. Tennis is not maths you know?
Rafa 21 Slams, 2 Gold medals, 5 Davis Cups, Tennis Academies, humble gracious human. I mean what else is there to discuss. GOAT is in the books!
What impressed me the most is how Rafa played smart throught the AO. Saving energy at times and really going for it when it mattered.
His game is more complete now than ever. His volleys were sublime. He has had no choice to change his game.
I don't care if Djokovic wins 23.. This was Rafa's masterpiece! To me, this cements him as the greatest warrior to ever play the game. He is almost inhuman. The mental strength he shows is unreal. To be 2 sets down at the age of 35 against a 25 year old up and coming talent like Medvedev who just destroyed Djokovic at the US Open..AMAZING! Forget about Jordan. Forget about Ali. Forget about Brady. Rafael Nadal is the greatest athlete of all time!
Don’t forget, not only 2 sets down, but also down 0-40 2-3 in the third set. Never underestimate the heart of a champion. What a true masterpiece.
Agree!
Agreed he's the greatest. It's phenomenon, i can't believe his comeback 😔
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Also he's been a perfect example for the kids and future generations, always humble, always respectful and always giving it all no matter the circumstances. That's what makes him unique, despite playing a circuit with 3/4 on fast/grass courts (serve+volley) and only 1 in clay he managed to top against the fast courts specialists.
As tennis fans, we are lucky to watch and witness the feats of such a tennis players like RAFA NADAL in our lifetime...
2005-2010 Prime Roger Federer Era
2011-2016 Prime Djokovic Era
2017-mid 2018 Federer Era
Mid 2018 onwards-still counting Novak Era
Both had their eras in prime. Nadal was just chasing the 2 of them in their best eras still 2day Nadal had the most GS. That's why he's the ultimate LEGEND of the sport. He didn't get a weak era or an open-ended run to bully others & statpad GS especially like Djokovic in 2015-16 & 2021
Oh yeah & not to forget the 2 Olympic Gold medals
Only 4 men have won all the GS twice-Djokovic,Roy Emerson,Rod Laver & Nadal
Only 2 men have won Career Golden Slam-Agassi & Nadal
Only Nadal has won all grand slams+Olympic Gold medals twice
Don't forget the 5 Davis Cups he won too.
Absolutely Brilliant point vamos Rafa
2008-2010 nadal want chasing no one he was unstoppable then
@@alexmckee9123 2008 had no hard court game. Federer was still the king there. 2009 skipped Wimbledon bcuz of injury & not mentally there after parents separation. 2010 FO onwards he was finally there. All court player but that run lasted only for 3 GS until Novak & his 2011 came along
And he's done all of that despite most of the tennis calendar being played on hard court.
Not just 2 of the 4 grand slams. But also ATP finals and most Olympics.
If that many major events were played on clay, he'd be miles ahead.
So many have said wonderful things about RAFA... so I m going to just add another dimension to the joy he brings to our lives who loves sports. When ever we watch you play and the energy you bring to the court all our day to day difficulties or problems fade away and ypu bring so much happiness to the lives of yours fans and any sports fan. THANK YOU FOR THAT AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU with many more opportunities to make more memories for us.
He is the WARRIOR KING of TENNIS!!!
The best sportsman ever! A living legend! He represents all the values in the sport, is the perfect example of every athlete should aspire for
I m still in shock and so happy that Rafa is still playing and winning BIG. I thought he would had stopped years ago at 7 or 8 slams bc of the way he plays and injuries. I just admire Rafa so much for the work , determination that he put in to overcome the struggles in his career : To be better on hard-court , to be better on grass , to be better with his back hands , serves ect … that is why today he is the leader in slam numbers. Rafa also makes me so proud of him of being an amazing human being, always do or say the right thing. I just don’t know why but the first time I watched him play at RG in 2004 and he won, I knew right away that was it, he was going to be a player that I like and root for as long as he plays .Here i m today i m still his hardcore fan . Wishing him health and all the luck in the next tournaments
Vamos21!!!!
It was 2005 not 2004
@@lovitasesaymolokaixashooot6076 it s true . Too long ago to remember :) Thx
greatest competitor tennis has seen and what a match fitting for the moment , nadal a true legend and GOAT
Djokovic is an incredible competitor as well. He has beaten Nadal in finals where Nadal could well have won if he would have converted key points.
Having Rafael Nadal at the pinnacle of tennis is the most perfect outcome for this beautiful sport
The greatest player Nadal truly is congratulations to Nadal with now 21 grand slams. Words fail me and you just have to admire what Nadal as achieved full stop.
Djokovic and Federer needed the other two push themselves and fight harder but Rafa seems the only one who would have fought and pushed the limits even if the two weren’t there. That warrior mentality is ingrained in his DNA. The reason he will always be the GOAT.
Absolutely spectacular, I'm not gonna say I made that pick, but I dreamed about it for a fortnight and my dream came true. Well done Mr Nadal
If one has to find the best example of " never say die", there can not be better example than the great Rafael Nadal..
Couldn't agree more🙌
If you check most his wins are gritty fight to the core like this..
You have to factor their total performance to include the Olympics and Davis Cup. And when you do, Rafa is The One!!! And just like the late Kobe Bryant, Rafa is a transcendent star of sport, not just in tennis.
That what I was mentioning everywhere but people forget.Even if Djoko wins 25 GS Nadal will still remain the GOAT because of the 2 Olympics Gold Medal and 5 Davis Cups he won.
Nadal Is The KING! There isn't any other tennis player, male or female, who fights harder for every single point. Nadal is relentless. Nadal is tenacious. Nadal has the heart of a lion. Diego Schwartzman said "Nadal is like a lion in the jungle". Nadal is greatness personified. End of story!
The real champion was disqualified by the Australian government
@@brianchibichabo3920 The Great Cheater was deported from Australia for just that !
Not great at all.
Olympic champion and 21 grand slams🎉King👑
An Olympic Gold medal in both singles and doubles is another accomplishment that sets him apart from other 2 from the big 3.
5 Davis Cup not to forget
Oh Yes! Big time! He really is the Goat, and beyond statics his personality and what he embodies, there is no more discussion. GoatDal.
Unbelievable comeback and achievement for The Bull- congrats, and keep vamosing through 2022, Rafa!
I just can't see what Nadal has accomplished in Tennis repeated ever again. This man is an example for the whole world.
Example how to pull, sniff and spread.
@@srdjan5847 A mediocre envious troll who will never excel in anything has spoken.
Im a fan of his since before his 1st grand slam, when I watched him start giving Roger a hard time on tv. So proud of my Nadal :’)
I heard old i's gold but for rafa prospective old i's diamond. The ultimate comeback legend.
Nadal is great human . Nadal is Warrior. Nadal is most humble player on tour. Nadal never showed ego on or off the court. Nadal is friend of everyone. Nadal makes you believe in yourself. Nadal is loyal in showing never changed his coach staff. Nadal is the same win or lose. Nadal Nadal Nadal Nadal Nadal Nadal !!!!!!
🤗
Thanks for the excellent commentary, as a Dutchie i'm bored with the local commentary (they started to bury already Nadal in his match against Shapovalov, simpleminds as they are), so that makes the difference. Nadal is a genius. We should be realistic that he wouldn't be able to do this with a broken body. Best ever comeback kid on the tennis court also. Chapeau to this GOAT.
Congratulations, Rafael Nadal, the greatest of all time, clinching GS#21. What a come-from-behind win. Truly amazing, epic and dramatic. What a thrilling win, actually.
Wow let that sink in for a second. 3 players share 61 majors. That is just wow. Almost unbelievable. And people keep arguing who's the goat out of the 3. I say they're all three the greatest of all time.
You definitely are not a Nadal fan.. you just can't say he's better
nah.. only one. And it is not this one
@Ian Novak no such thing as a GOAT, there are different eras that had varying surfaces in each slam, progressively better equipment, training etc every 5-10 years.. very difficult to compare across eras - these are the 3 best of the last 15 years, that's for sure
@Ian Novak Who are the great players who believe this? Novak? Before Sampras, Borg was considered to be among the best - the idea of having to capture all the Slams to be in the discussion of the greatest was simply not there - after a few years the current standard will change as well .. each great player in each era has achieved something unique and great which can be used to justify that they are the best ever.. so it's one or two or three stars in each era whom can be considered to be at top of their game for that era.. The time period matters as well.. in fact arguably Federer is in a slightly different era (if you use a 5 year period) compared to Nadal who is sandwiched between both Federer and Djokers eras..
Yo soy española y también pienso lo mismo y adoro a Rafa gane o pierda. Me da lo mismo si al final termina siendo la cabra definitiva.💪
Roger must be smiling somewhere when he saw Nadal winning the AO 2022 the way he had won it. As a matter of fact, everything taken into account, Rafael Nadal is the undisputed GOAT as of today. The only other tennis player who could deny this is Djokovic but he is running out of time in view of the arrival of the next generation of great tennis players.
Djoker must be thinking whether he should vax now if he wants to stay in the GS race.
Nadal will remain the GOAT even if Djoko wins 25 GS because he won 2 Olympics Gold Medal and 5 Davis Cup.His Overall achievement is better than Roger and Djoko.
Spot on!!!
@@jeanpierre9248 The Olympics isn't as important as a slam or even a Master's cause it's held only once every four Years.
Super human. GOAT. Class Act. Vamos Rafa😘💕
people forget that Medvedev wiped the floor with Novak at the US open and Nadal beat arguably the best current player on hardcourt right now which makes this win so impressive.
Congratz legend rafa nadal!
This man is from other planet.
The way I shouted in the train the moment he warn everyone was like what happened ,am happy for him
Did you get thrown off the train?
Only thing i would disagree is that 2010 Nadal has to be the greatest tennis player ever created. Lighting fast human backboard with hammering forehand and 130mh serves.
People tend to forget, that Nadal peaked earlier in his career and that his play in the last 10 year was already influenced by old injurys. He has problems with his shoulder for over 10 years now, which influenced his serve a lot (His serves were a lot faster back then). Despite this restrictions he is still able to win hard court majors like the AO this year and several US Opens in the past. I would have loved to see his career, if he was fully healthy.
I agree: 2010 Rafa is the best version of a tennis player in history, the best version of Nadal surely!
No matter how many More Djokovic wins...Rafa and Roger will always be more than him❤️
Two gentleman, amazing Legends Roger y Rafa.❤️🐐🐐
The goat! vamos Rafa!
Some people seem to think that Nadal not having played any competitive matches for six months was supposed to be a huge disadvantage for him, but I think that taking time off and letting his body rest properly actually helped him a lot during this AO. I mean it's not like Rafa was going to suddenly forget how to play great tennis. His overall playing level, experience and instincts are still way better than 99% of his opponents even if he doesn't play for a long time. But coming into this AO fresh and rested was a big bonus for him, plus playing that warm up tournament (and winning it) in Melbourne on the same court helped him too. He should try to repeat the same pattern before next year's AO. He's not 25 anymore, so he really needs to give his body time to recuperate between seasons/tournaments.
He should do the same for the F.O. as well.
+ No Novaxx sure did help him!
Yep, at 35 it was really big for Rafa to come to the AO having not played for 6 months because despite not having matches and dealing with the foot injury it gave his body time to rest and reduce chance of injury elsewhere. The AO is where he's been injured multiple times, e.g. 2010, 2011, 2014 and 2018.
I mean, the perfect fit requires a certain regularity on the court. Five matches in nine months it's a litle bit short. Rafa is able to compite in the worst situation, three days before his trip to Melbourne he called his cousin Joan, Toni's son, to prove some efforts in his left foot. He still felt some pain. Three days before. Off course you are right about getting some rest before París. But I'm afraid it's impossible. Rafa loves to play in Spain, and Spain adores Rafa. His matches are national treasures. And ATP 500 Barcelona and Masters 1000 Madrid had two of his best buddies as directors, Ferru and Feli. David Ferrer and Feliciano López. Rafa will never turn his back on them, or their tournaments. So if he is healthy, he'll play Conde de Godó for sure, and Masters 1000 Madrid for sure. And probably Montecarlo and Rome.
Le gusta demasiado el tenis, es su vida, el si puede competirá en todos los torneos.
"Don't be fooled. [Nadal] wants to have more than Federer or Djokovic." And you, Mr. Tennis Pundit, know that....how? I mean, yes, surely Rafa would rather have more Slams than anyone else, but I think he is honestly WAAAAAAAY less invested in that outcome than Djokovic - and less than Federer, who I believe resigned himself long ago to being caught/surpassed by one or both of the other two. As Rafa says, often, he has already achieved way more in tennis than he ever thought possible, and ending w/more or fewer Slams than the other guys won't shape how happy he is in the future. I believe him.
He just loves the sport the crowd and his supporters that drives him on.
Agree 100%. He is less invested in that outcome.
Was surprised at that pundit saying that
@John Coinyer excellent
Wow!! Happy for him
Reading comments from antivaxers who never knew what tennis was about until today. Respect Nadal. And yeah it would have been good that Novak played the AO, but don’t forget about Federer.
Nadal: thank you, an absolute role model for generations.
That last commentary about FO being the most wide open of the remaining majors was just asinine. The slam that has the least number of deviation regarding the winner is the most wide open while the other slams with more deviations are less wide open? USO, a slam RF hasn’t wone in over decade, where ND won 3x and Rafa won4x, the slam that has practically a different winner practically every year for a while now is less wide open than FO? What a horrendously bad and inaacurate take!!
This guy looked biased in favour of Djokovic hence the statement. He didn't look pleased with Nadal' win
I was absolutely shocked when I heard that comment. It's king rafa's all the way.
He is the greatest of them all!
Federer and Nadal are models for the next generation tennis players despite of the number of Gland Slams they have obtained. The thing is they are both humble. Also, they are very entertaining in their style of tennis. Federer has the artistic athletic skills. Nadal has the heroic and warrior style which is quite similar to Pete Sampras. I reckon these three tennis players are the greatest ones ever. The number of GL is important, but other characteristics are also very important to assess their achievement. I remember there was an interview of Rod Laver the Australian tennis legend by Channel 7,he was asked who is the greatest tennis player of all time. He was of the opinion that Roger Federer is the one. From the mouth of a tennis legend.
Even as a Federer fan i have huge respect for Nadal and his amazing achievement today
same here
@@bibek6713 same but not Djokovic
Thank you, from a massive Nadal fan
What words can describe Nadal ….Superhuman, Inhuman , Superman . If Djokovic had have played to par at the US Open , he would also have 21 .
Nadal is the player who always struck the most fear into his opponents because of how hard he is to beat. He never quits! He has his faults but he made Joker and Federer into the players they are because of his relentlessness and the fact that he transformed his game into the all court player he is. He pushed Nole on hard courts in those classic matches at the AO. Rafa pushed Nole to be the dominant hard court player he is. Rafa beat Fed on grass and pushed him to have to get better. 08 Wimbledon is the greatest match of all time. Rafa made the most changes and adapted his game the most. He overcame more career obstacles to get to 21 first. Imagine if Nadal didn’t have the injuries he did have. He would be the undisputed and clear GOAT. No matter how the slam numbers end up….Nadal is the GOAT. With that said, Nadal, Joker and Fed have been a joy to watch and they will all be missed when they are done. Golden Era, Greatest Era of all time in Tennis!
I've always knew the British prefer Federer and Novak and yet if not for all the injuries he'd have 30 now.
Please do not insult us. The Brits love both Roger and Rafa.
You obviously didn't see the Wimbledon final between Fed and Djoko a couple of years ago. The crowd were mostly certainly not supporting Djoko. Rafa is very popular in the UK.
The French Open will be less tough for Nadal then the A.O.
The timing of the tournament is better than last year. We should enjoy it while it lasts because I think next year will be his last.
@@almac9203 i would have liked ur comment if not for that last part
@@almac9203 naah he'll do anything he can to be there fit & ready for 2024. I think 2024 will be his last. 2024 Paris Olympics is on Roland Garros. I think will Nadal skip grass court season & end his season at US Open every year. Maybe play Laver Cup for Roger once in Roger's last year on tour. I think he'll do everything he can to stay until 2024 US Open. Then he'll retire. Djokovic in 2025
@@misterrandompro6181 same here
that was an amazing question at 4:25 "what is it that keeps these three having the hunger to come back ... to be the greatest of all time"?
Really feel bad for Danil, what a player,really put a massive fight against one the GOATS. Also shame on the Australian crowd. Disrespectful and disgraceful.
Well said and exactly correct. Shameful behaviour
Go Rafa❤❤❤
RAFA 21 GOAT for now
Those who say he is clay court champion let me te you people that he played 6 wimbledon finals.. 6 us open finals and 5 auatralian open final...... He is simply the best tennis player in history of tennis... He defeated federer many time on grass amd hard courts how many time did federer beat him on clay?
Excellent point.
Of the big 3, only Rafa is genuinely humble. The other two have massive egos. Just a fact. Take it for what you will.
I don't think Roger is arrogant even though am a fan of Rafa
@@pricelessify7799 I never mentioned arrogance.
I think their fans have more egos than them imo😬
Roger Federer didn't have the ego, I watch his interview on win or lost as he respect every player, he has his achievement that already been done
@@CharlesB-NGNM we are not fighting my dear
I don't agree with the comment that the French Open is the slam that is the most wide open. It's the contrary. Roland Garos is the least wide open. Rafa lost last year due to the foot injury which was why he was out for the rest of the 2021 season. The most open slam is probably Wimbeldon or US Open.
I agree. The French Open is the least wide open, even if Nadal lost last year. I still think it’s his to lose. But I almost feel like the Australian Open is the next least competitive, even though Nadal won it, just because of how dominant Djokovic has been there. For me the most competitive is the US Open, just because of how slow the court can be. You have Nadal who has won it 4 times, and now Medvedev who beat Djokovic last year. Then once in a while you’ll have guys like Thiem or Del Potro or Wawrinka win it.
@@laymanRa Well said
@@alonsogarcia6335 don't count Medvedev out of Australian. Even Tsitsipas & Zverev & Shapovalov & FAA TBH. All r damn good on Hard. I think Australian Open has opened ip now. Anyone can win it but IMO Medvedev will win it a lot of times from here-on. Wimbledon is either Federer or Djokovic. Noone else knows how to play on grass. US Open is the most wide open but still advantage Medvedev
@@mananmehta6910 common man y are you counting rafa out from Wimbledon, all he needs is play praparation tournament before Wimbledon and everything will be okey for him.because he plays all the tournament in clay season he gets very little time to adjust and prepare for it .last several years he always plays Wimbledon straight .he could have won Wimbledon 2018 where the semi was 50/50 with Djokovic.
Congrats to Rafa 🏆🍾 I absolutely love him ! He’s always been my favourite athlete 💪🏽 💥 My Goat 🐐
NADAL he is the man! Not only does winning make him GOAT but he also managed to SAVE lines by doing it and avoided serious illnesses or injury 👏👍
At one point, Nadal was really unplayable. He was literally a god-tier level. No one could match him. Even federer had no answers for him. And Djokovic wasn't on his peak yet. Unfortunately he gets injuries. Without them, he probably 30 GS already. But that was life, it goes up and down. And now finally he back to claim the highest throne.
Exactly what i said on another comment scroll
👏👏
Now... it's The Biggest ONE not big three no more....Vamos Rafa ☝️
Novak fans are quiet and in SHOCK! THey lost the GOAT rating.
I always put Nadal over Novak and federer for ONE ELEMENT = Aces not necessary to win matches.
Novak needs up to 33% of his game in aces, Roger needed over 40% in aces. Nadal becomes GOAT with only 3 aces.
I don't like to rate players, as GOAT, when they rely on many aces to win and get freebies all over the match. Nadal never needs a freebie. He doesn't even need more than 1 ace to be GOAT, Think about that, Novak fans.
Novak is still the one with most potential and am a Rafa fan..
Rafa king of comebacks
let's celebrate victory
Have u imagined what a BEAUTIFUL thing would be Nadal ending up winning 15 Roland Garros? For me 15 is such a beautiful number here
I really don’t understand how anyone would put Djokovic above Nadal ! Djokovic is like a angry moving defence wall . Federer and Nadal have charisma and style, they are gentleman, humble, passionate and great ambassadors of the sport of tennis !
Best of Best
💪💪💪💪💪
What a moving, awe-inspiring, empowering, spine-tingling, suspenseful, gut-wrenching if not explosive duel or conquest of sorts only a RAFAEL NADAL can offer against any players including the in-form Daniil Medvedev. Truly an epic and gladiatorial come-from-behind win worthy for the history books and ages. Kudos and Vamos to the Real Champion and GOAT On and OFF the Court, The Raging Bull, The El Matador, the one and only, RAFAEL NADAL.
Grande Rafa 💪😍👑
21 slams having missed a DOZEN of them through injury , Olympic Gold medals on singles and doubles , 5 davis cups for his country , 36 masters .......................................................................WTF
FO wide open man that comment was a terrible one to make. Nadal, regardless of ranking will be a strong favourite to win, especially after last years defeat.
Rafa is the greatest and by quite a disstance. Reason:
ADVANTE of Federer: 6 first GS with little competition
MASSIVE Advante of Novak: 2 GS in his surface... if Nadal had two on clay... lol
Nadal had to compete with the peak of both Roger and Novak. Had just one GS in his surface and more injuries... and still have one more?!?!?!
Nah Rafa Nadal is the best all time.🐐
Nadal the GOAT.
Calling it now: Rafa wins the calendar
Amizing❤️
No, Nadal loves to compete but he has accepted Djokovic may end up with the most slams. And that's perfectly Ok. Tennis is a meritocracy, best player wins on the day. It's not just slams, it's also about Olympics gold, Davis cup, YE ATP Finals, masters 1000 etc
Obviously bad news for Djokocovid as now he'll have to win two more Grand slam évents to bé the GOAT - however, Nadal will now be firm favourite to win Roland Garros, sad isn't it...
On a side note: in my humble opinion the majors should have the women play the best of 5 in the finals (can anyone remember a great women's final at a major of such magnitude of say the 2008 Wimby Final; the 2012 AO final; the 2019 Wimby final; and now, the 2022 AO final). I can imagine Ash vs. Iga in a 5-set epic!
Female tennis players demand pay parity but refuse to play best of 5. Anyone who don't agree are labeled as misogynist.
1st time Rafa won slam final from 2-0 down right?
F.O. will be interesting. IF Rafa wins that I think he'll end up on the most slams
I loved
Sir u got one thing wrong about nadal, he is not going to stop at 21, maybe at 24, he had atleast couple of roland gross and one more us open in it to prove everyone wrong, maybe Djokovic will get even more than 25, who knows, but all three are goat
Bravo Nadal. You are a superstar. A vaccined sportsman can come from behind and win too. You are a great ambassador.
Well put- a shining role model- humble, modest, wonderful tennis IQ and fantastic ambassador for the sport.
G O. A. T.
I think this Rafa can beat Novak at any given day in any court
head to head grandslam game...
nadal vs federer 10-4
nadal vs djokovic 10-7
Vamos Brigade 💪
The nextel 007 ....Rafa Nadal
Talent RF
Nadal😏
He studied the game long enough to learn
Amazing love tennis!❤️🙏🏻💪🔥
Well done to arguably one of the greatest tennis / sportsman in the world.
Though why does sky on its app allow ppl to speak on its platform but stops it on others when it comes to a English footballer who’s on every platform / local and national platform and his club for now and sponsors all have suspended him?
awesome
masterpiece this game
He followed the rules and won it. Well done!
The Serb has himself to blame. I don't dislike him but the backing he got was unjustified in this instance. Also congratulations to the Australian government. Had the balls to stand up and be counted.
I mean this truly stops everyone from claiming Djokovic is the undisputed goat.
If Nadal can beat Federer with 500s and stay competitive, tie, or even best Djokovic in grand slams, master's, and overall titles I feel the goat debate will be pretty even between him and djok.
Djokovic made one bad call after another. Firstly went to the Olympics which was totally unnecessary, played in both singles and doubles, again unnecessary, and then went on to US OPEN all stressed out and playing 5 set matches, losing the first set always. Now he says he won't get vaccinated, because whatever, and fucks up the visa application (not personally but you know in general). Just sad for Novak, he had great potential to win the calendar slam last year and win Australian Open now and surpass Federer and Nadal. I guess he showed his irrationality these past 6 months.
🐐
Great
Just imagine if instead of 2 hard courts, you had 2 clay courts in Grand Slams...
