It was one heck of a match, but the Hewett and Karovic match of 2002 had hitting just as hard from Dr. Ivo. Hewett was the defending champion and played Dr. Ivo in the first round. Talk about a nightmare! Lost in five sets as well.
Why Wimbledon is most prestigious tournament who made it prestigious and oldest tournament If it is that prestigious and biggest the officials should keep it 1 month after Clay court season for sure so that everybody gets chance to play it fully fit and healthy actually. Djokovic is unrivalled at Wimbledon because the players will be tired and exhausted after clay court season. Djokovic would win it easily against anybody as he is best at adapting to surface quickly then Nadal and other players. It should be fair for 1. Clay court players 2. Hard court players 3. Grass court players Wimbledon became landmark of Djokovic actually he is unbeatable and unrivalled at Wimbledon. It looks like Wimbledon is created for Djokovic only. I am extremely confident if they don't increase to 1 month Djokovic will win 3 to 4 Wimbledon titles for sure from 2023 to 2026. Young players are good hard and Clay court players but not good grass court players for sure they are not able to adapt to grass quickly. It should be held every 4 weeks and decrease 1 week for US Open simple Djokovic shall see tough competition at Wimbledon for sure Tennis season will be balanced for sure Sorry 2 to 3 weeks is joke if people call it oldest and prestigious tournament for sure. Just give 4 Wimbledon titles to Djokovic from 2023 to 2026 simple The fight Federer,Nadal and Murray gives to Djokovic at Wimbledon no other player can give to Djokovic. 2021 and 2022 Wimbledon was boring and not fun like 2018 and 2019 Wimbledon for sure 2021 Wimbledon was held 2 weeks after French open because of Olympics actually Djokovic is 7 time Wimbledon champion due to lack of rivals at Wimbledon as young players failed to excell at grass no serious threat to Djokovic at Wimbledon. Federer is old and injured Nadal still developing on grass actually Murray is struggling with hip injury. Djokovic is unrivalled at Wimbledon. Berettini and Felix didn't reach the level to beat Nadal and Djokovic at Wimbledon in 5 set matches. If Nadal loses 1 set again he will bounce back and win next set due to his mental strength and physical strength 3 weeks is working well for Nadal Young players need 1 month recovery after French open simple or these two players will keep winning Wimbledon Titles only Nadal didn't reach the level of Djokovic to beat him at Wimbledon. Max he could reach semifinals or finals but not strong enough to win Wimbledon title because of Djokovic
Completely agree mate. Even Fed has been upset by big hitters like Berdych, Tsonga, Berdych and Anderson. But his overall consistency is so admirable. Never forget that Nadal didn't make Wimbledon QF's 2012-2017 (he was in his mid-late 20's so arguably his prime). Even Federer made the Quarters at the French at ages 34 and 37 (losing to the eventual winners both times - Stan and rafa). Federer is far more consistent than Rafa overall.
@@LennyTurner Fed is much more versatile. Just look at the distribution of their slams - Roger has 6/1/8/5, Rafa 1/12/2/3. That's 30% of Roger's slams AO, 5% RG, 40% Wimbledon, 25% US. Rafa has ~5.5% AO, ~66% RG, ~11% Wimbledon, ~17% US.
I love watching the underdog just swinging freely because he's got nothing to lose. On this day everything clicked for Rosol. There was no stopping it.
cms 95 ytb 2012 was actually a very good season aside from his Injury. Final at AO, won Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Rome and RG. That’s not even close to being his worst season.
More of the young guys should carry rosol's attitude on court. Determined & confident & most importantly unshaken of the opponent no matter decorated he is
I like to revisit this match every year. I'll never forget how Rosol played that day. Sometimes the stars align, everything goes your way and there is nothing the other guy can do.
On that day he saved Federer from Nadal in finals for sure actually Nadal got into head of Federer since 2008 actually he can hurt Federer again for sure in grass actually Djokovic is not playing great like 2011 so he is beatable for sure in 2012 Wimbledon Rafael Nadal is finished in 2013 at Wimbledon actually.
He was consistent in those years as 2011 he reached finals and lost to Djokovic in 4 sets. He was in top form in those years which was broken by Rosol in 2nd round.
Rosol outhit nadal but it can be said that rafa didn't generate the kind of depth that would prevent that (which he has done plenty of times just not that day) and this approach is a good example. Power without depth doesn't work against a player playing like that
2012: rosol 2R 2013: darcis 1R 2014: kyrgios 4R 2015: brown 2R 2016: did not play 2017: muller 4R who will 'surprisingly' take down rafa this year? I go with shapovalov
At least we know that Rafa as a top player has enough respect for the game and fans of the game to not skip any slam just because he finds it difficult to play there now. Can't say that about Feder... I mean certain other players.
The hitting zone is lower at Wimbledon. It limits the player. Just like in the tennis club for weekend players, when they are faced with different brands of balls, their timing goes off affecting their confidence to hit shots
Nadal hasn't beaten Federer since Jan 2014, hasn't even been good enough or willing to play him on grass for years, or Federer would have thrashed him with no need for studying Rosol at all.
Nadal dominates Federer 9-3 in Grand Slams (including 4-3 outside clay). That is, Nadal has won 75% of his GS matches against Federer. In addition, Nadal leads overall on clay and outdoor hard courts the H2H.
mizofan And Nadal would have thrashed him in the 1st round of every French Open...... But alas Federer is such a coward that he even skips French open nowadays 😂😂
I recall this match, No doubt Rosol was in the zone...as he went on to lose his third round match against Philipp Kohlschreiber in straight sets. In 2014 Nadal beat him twice, once in Dora and again at Wimbledon.
Nadal always struggled at Wimbledon post 2011 Finals. His style of play had put enormous pressure on his knees till 2012 RG and post that he never actually played well at Wimbledon. But kudos to him how he came back in 2018 and 2019 after embarrassing early exits from 2012-2017 in Wimbledon He got the second AO this year, hope he gets his 3rd Wimbledon too.
Most champions 'find a way' to beat their opponents - the Spaniard was completely nonplussed by Rosol and had to resort to shoulder-charging him at a changeover. Nadal not very good at figuring out how to win against tricky opponents without help from his box.
@@ertugrulkorpinar51 good joke those 3 players will lose to Rafael Nadal for sure Djokovic is not in Nadal head like 2011 Djokovic is not playing like 2011. Federer is struggling against Nadal on 3 surfaces actually
Those 3 players have mental block against Nadal at Wimbledon for sure Djokovic is not playing like 2011 Federer is playing bad actually. Murray always lose to Nadal at Wimbledon. Rosol saved those three players.
dmh091 Nadal only had 5 good years at Wimbledon He has reached one sf in the last 7 years at Wimbledon between the age of 25-32. Fed reached 3 finals in between that age and won one (2008, 2009, 2011). Fed had competition in this period from Nadal, Djokovic, Soderling and Tsonga. Nadal had competion from Darcis, Rosol, Brown, Kyrgios and Muller. And then Nadal fans say Fed beat nobodies in his finals. Nadal actually was beaten by nobodies in r2, 3 and 4😂
Since 2011 Nadal has not got past the 4th round of Wimbledon and has only once managed to win 4 consecutive grass matches. In his career he has only won 3 indoor tournaments, with 0 world tour finals (2nd in importance to slams), since 1972 alone 5 players have spent a lot longer as world #1, yet some claim he's the goat overall, not just on clay!. Federer 23 consecutive slam semis, Nadal 5.
2 Wimbledon titles >>>> 1 Roland Garros title. Federer never defeated Nadal at Roland Garros while Nadal defeated Federer at Wimbledon. Nadal on grass is better than Federer on clay.
Marcos Villavicencio If he surpasses his record then tht will certainly be a case for him but if he does it primarily by just winning FO titles then that will be an Asterisk for me, my opinion.
theres something about the guys who take out Nadal in early rounds, because it's rare that Nadal actually plays badly in these matches. Sure, Roger has occasionally gone out early in Wimbledon but it's been a bad day. Here, Nadal was *good*. Rosol was just off the charts. Same with a younger Kyrgios a couple years later.
Nadal was playing his average tennis at best, he also lost playing crap tennis to Darcis in 2013 and in 2015 to Brown to Pouille in 2016 US Open and Fognini 2015 US oPEN when he was two sets up and against Verdasco at the Australian open... The only matches in Wimbledon when he lost playing at a decent level were vs Kyrgios in 2014 and vs Muller in 2017, a match up anyone would have lost including Federer.
Came here because I wanted to see how Rosol, Brown and Krygios defeated Nadal. Today can Krygios repeat the feat?. Very exited for the match tonight, infact more exited than the final and it's only because of unpredictability and antics of Krygios and the shadow war they are indulging for past year, suddenly tennis has boxing kind of atmosphere.
Then they say nadal was was at his peak in 2012 when he will end up losing against low rank seed in wimbledon since 2012-2017 while he went to 2006 and 2006 wimbledon finals and won it in 2008 and 2010, federer clearly face and beat the best version of nadal from 2005-2010 the lightning fast nadal who was flying all over the court and can return any type of shot even prime rogers best shot and roger face and beat that best version unlike the bulky injury prone nadal
Rafa looks slow and heavy here, heavy with muscle. His preferred physique is very well suited for clay where power is needed, but here he looks as nimble as bamby (not nimble at all). Its amazing because he moves really well on clay, even better than Federer. But Federer is a way better mover on grass.
Definitely one of Nadal's more embarrassing losses. Granted he was probably injured here, but still. Rosol on the other hand played his best match ever.
is Nadal injured anytime he loses? If he was injured, he shouldn't have started at all, if he got injured during the match in a way that doesn't allow him to play his best and win, he should've scratched. I'm tired of people constantly making excuses for an injury when Nadal loses. It needs a heavy hitter who will put pressure on every ball. Few players have balls for that. Rosol could do that because he had nothing to lose.
This is why Nadal's fanbase is a laughing stock. Yeah, Rafa never loses unless he's injuried, right. I guess he was badly injuried against Brown as well? :)
Rosol might have made a statement that tennis wasn't just confined to just a few winning anything and everything, but he really rubbed people the wrong way with this statement
in the break of the fifth set the ball was short and in the middle of the court and nadal put it right on the middle on the hands of rosol. really bad play by him.
Without clay.. Nadal won 6 GS with 0 World Tour finals... Fed has 12 without Wimbledon with 6 World Tour cups... I think fed has fared much much better with number of finals and semis on clay.. Rafa goes deep in Wimbledon and loses early few times
Without tennis courts... Federer has zero slams. Think about it. If we remove any courts that support the sport of tennis, Federer would be far behind from his rivals, especially in Grand Slams. Fed: 0 Rafa: 17 Nole: 14 This just goes to show how one-dimensional Federer is, that he only gets wins off of tennis courts. Pathetic paper champion...
@pawan Red herring. 😜 Nadal is slightly more balanced than Federer. *Without court surfaces in the Court Pace Index of 15-30.* _Nadal has 6 slams, 0 WTFs, 7 Masters, and one Olympics gold = ~14 big titles._ _Federer has 19 slams, 6 WTFs, 18 Masters = ~43 Big Titles._ *Without court surfaces in the Court Pace Index of 30-45.* _Nadal has 11 slams, 0 WTFs, 26 Masters, and 0 Olympics gold = ~37 Big Titles._ _Federer has 1 slam, 0 WTFs, 9 Masters, and 0 Olympics gold = ~10 Big titles._ *Balance of Big Title distribution per their preferred ranges* _Nadal - 72.55% - 27.45%_ _Federer - 81.13% - 18.87%_ *Without Nadal's weakness he has 27.45% of his big titles left, which is greater than Federer's 18.87% (not accounting for ATP points or strength-of-opposition).* *Balance of Slam Title distribution per their preferred ranges* _Nadal - 64.71% - 35.29%_ _Federer - 95.00% - 5.00%_ *Without Nadal's weakness he has 35.29% of his big titles left, which is greater than Federer's 5.00% (not accounting for strength-of-opposition).* *_In other words, Federer has only 1 slam outside his preferred range; Nadal has 6!_* 😊
@@CalebPereira9123 Yeah i agree! Your comment shows Federer is more versatile than Nadal because Fed the GOAT has a bigger preferred range than Nadal! 😀
Rosol threw his racquet across the net right before the handshake. Camera angle here does not show it but Rafa after the handshake goes to the other side to pick it up and hands it to Rosol. IMO not classy move by Rosol.
I can understand that grass is a tricky surface. I can understand also that Nadal isnt a natural fast court player. What really I cannot understand is How he made 5 consecutive finals there and after that only shocking losses except for last year. I mean, its like 8 years since his last good tournament.
I can remember this match. I've never seen such consistent hard hitting from any player ever. Rossol was on total fire.
Spot on, I remember watching in disbelief at how hard he was hitting the ball, it was unreal.
risky flat shots for me, risky play
@@phat_tok806 me to I was like 11 year old and I was like wtf this is impossible this guy is on roids!!

This is the best closeout I've literally ever seen. FOUR winners to close the match!

Why Wimbledon is most prestigious tournament who made it prestigious and oldest tournament

Then they say nadal was was at his peak in 2012 when he will end up losing against low rank seed in wimbledon since 2012-2017 while he went to 2006 and 2006 wimbledon finals and won it in 2008 and 2010, federer clearly face and beat the best version of nadal from 2005-2010 the lightning fast nadal who was flying all over the court and can return any type of shot even prime rogers best shot and roger face and beat that best version unlike the bulky injury prone nadal
👏👏👏 Lukas Rosol
Remembering this to this day.Rosol was amazing, Nadal looked like he was playing football or something
and the moment when Nadal keep with his shouldet to Rosol? in what minute is?
Rafa looks slow and heavy here, heavy with muscle. His preferred physique is very well suited for clay where power is needed, but here he looks as nimble as bamby (not nimble at all). Its amazing because he moves really well on clay, even better than Federer. But Federer is a way better mover on grass.
@GTS dream fedtards
@GTS frauderer please go to sleep
How many aces did Rosol?
22.
2R 2012: rosol
2R 2013: darcis
1R 2014: kyrgios
4R 2015: brown
2016: did not play
2017: muller 4R;
2018: Djokovich SF
2019: Thiem 4R (Prediction)
Thiem isn't a great grass player. I doubt he can beat Nadal there, plus they wouldn't meet until QF.
What was Nadal arguing about?
Nadal cannot lose. That's why Federer has class.
Both of them are sore losers. 😂
Rosol goes god mode
Don't feel too bad Nadal, no one could've beaten Rosol in that 5th set.
Definitely one of Nadal's more embarrassing losses. Granted he was probably injured here, but still. Rosol on the other hand played his best match ever.
is Nadal injured anytime he loses? If he was injured, he shouldn't have started at all, if he got injured during the match in a way that doesn't allow him to play his best and win, he should've scratched. I'm tired of people constantly making excuses for an injury when Nadal loses. It needs a heavy hitter who will put pressure on every ball. Few players have balls for that. Rosol could do that because he had nothing to lose.
This is why Nadal's fanbase is a laughing stock. Yeah, Rafa never loses unless he's injuried, right. I guess he was badly injuried against Brown as well? :)
Always the “injury” excuse. Pathetic.
@@geuros stop whining it is his choice to play or not if injury is serious he will retire from the match for sure.
Rosol might have made a statement that tennis wasn't just confined to just a few winning anything and everything, but he really rubbed people the wrong way with this statement
in the break of the fifth set the ball was short and in the middle of the court and nadal put it right on the middle on the hands of rosol. really bad play by him.
A nervous play, just like the double fault to give the first break. Even the best are human
Rosol destruyendo a un mal perdedor porque no acepta que el rival lo derrotó en igualdad de condiciones.
Didn’t show any of the best points ☹️
hate these awful narrated highlights - just give us the regular highlights showing the actual match
Couldnt agree more.
Agree.
The idiot sounds so surprised that a lower-ranked player can break Nadal twice.
He didn't know Nadal isn't exactly feared for his service game.
They just miss all the key parts of the game and just show the most boring ones.
Without clay.. Nadal won 6 GS with 0 World Tour finals...
Fed has 12 without Wimbledon with 6 World Tour cups...
I think fed has fared much much better with number of finals and semis on clay.. Rafa goes deep in Wimbledon and loses early few times
Without grand slams.... everyone has ZERO grand slams. So I think everyone has fared just as badly as each other.
Without tennis courts... Federer has zero slams. Think about it. If we remove any courts that support the sport of tennis, Federer would be far behind from his rivals, especially in Grand Slams.
Fed: 0
Rafa: 17
Nole: 14
This just goes to show how one-dimensional Federer is, that he only gets wins off of tennis courts. Pathetic paper champion...
@@CK-iv1lq ikr! Such one-dimensionalism
@pawan
Red herring. 😜
Nadal is slightly more balanced than Federer.
*Without court surfaces in the Court Pace Index of 15-30.*
_Nadal has 6 slams, 0 WTFs, 7 Masters, and one Olympics gold = ~14 big titles._
_Federer has 19 slams, 6 WTFs, 18 Masters = ~43 Big Titles._
*Without court surfaces in the Court Pace Index of 30-45.*
_Nadal has 11 slams, 0 WTFs, 26 Masters, and 0 Olympics gold = ~37 Big Titles._
_Federer has 1 slam, 0 WTFs, 9 Masters, and 0 Olympics gold = ~10 Big titles._
*Balance of Big Title distribution per their preferred ranges*
_Nadal - 72.55% - 27.45%_
_Federer - 81.13% - 18.87%_
*Without Nadal's weakness he has 27.45% of his big titles left, which is greater than Federer's 18.87% (not accounting for ATP points or strength-of-opposition).*
*Balance of Slam Title distribution per their preferred ranges*
_Nadal - 64.71% - 35.29%_
_Federer - 95.00% - 5.00%_
*Without Nadal's weakness he has 35.29% of his big titles left, which is greater than Federer's 5.00% (not accounting for strength-of-opposition).*
*_In other words, Federer has only 1 slam outside his preferred range; Nadal has 6!_* 😊
@@CalebPereira9123 Yeah i agree! Your comment shows Federer is more versatile than Nadal because Fed the GOAT has a bigger preferred range than Nadal! 😀
Nd since then rafa must have won 10 grand slams
And rasol is at home watching rafa win grand slams
Tanta chuleria y nin gano el torneo!
Kukushkin stayed Rosol’s box ?
Bravo Lukas.
Et toujours avec le sourire le Nadalos????
Rosol, my hero !!!
Anyone notice Rafa going the wrong way after handshake? 24:26
Rosol threw his racquet across the net right before the handshake. Camera angle here does not show it but Rafa after the handshake goes to the other side to pick it up and hands it to Rosol. IMO not classy move by Rosol.
Question is....Where is Rosol? Yes, I know he plays challengers, but for real, where is he? His game I'm talking about.
What exactly was Rafa complaining about at the start of the 3rd set?
TheLordJuergen I seem to remember he was complaining about Rosol moving just as Nadal was mid-ball toss.
@@tomnorton7817 well, that's not against the rules. Rafa's just a bad loser.
I can understand that grass is a tricky surface. I can understand also that Nadal isnt a natural fast court player. What really I cannot understand is How he made 5 consecutive finals there and after that only shocking losses except for last year. I mean, its like 8 years since his last good tournament.
Knees!
Luis F. Wimbledon isn't a fast surface anymore apart from the first few days.
@@wendylewis4508 dude Rafael Nadal always struggle in first week at grass after that he becomes dangerous.
He said he just try not to get 3 : 0
I can see humiliated Nadal. 😷
Humiliated? Losses happen and he just won his 19th slams.
did they shake hands twice,?!
What the point in winning these matches they lose the next match they don't even win the tournament
1:29 😉
