yep.. it appears that Nadal is faultering everywhere, but.. when he gets his chances, he's on the money. Just outplayed, badly.. by someone that can canon every shot nearly..
It's 50-50 to me. Rosol closed his eyes and swung as hard as he possibly could which should normally result in a loss with 50+ unforced errors however on this day for few hours somehow these shots were going in. Nadal however was terrible. Returning in the middle of the court, not moving at all, getting caught flatfooted so many times, etc.
thespotlightkid I think Rosol’s approach and the rate of success he was getting shook Nadal more than it being a bad game for Rafa. On 1 graphic early in the 5th, Rafa had more aces!
@@SaulGoodman-w2x The point is that anyone would be caught flatfooted by that power hitting. Even Federer and Djokovic don't give Nadal nearly that amount of consistent power. It's a playing style pretty much no-one can rely on, but it will win if it works, because the opponent is highly unlikely to be having that kind of day themselves. I think Nadal was far from terrible here. He probably wasn't at his best, I guess.
I think people get this one mixed up with brown which is sad. Even though Brown played very well in 2015, rafa was world no.10 and playing the worst tennis of his career. At this point, he was in good form and just won the french open but Rosol simply played the match of his life.
Closed roof faster conditions it is good for Big servers actually Those buggers have decided to closed the roof in 5th set which is crucial moment which will decide the match for sure. Nadal is not quick to adjust to environment and conditions He couldn't adapt to conditions for sure. Rosol played great in 2nd and 3rd set for sure but 5th set it became one sided only Before he got adjusted Rosol broke the serve and started serving bombs to him which cannot be returned simple 6-4 final set Wimbledon 2018 was fair and acceptable for sure They started playing with closed roof in 1 set only it is justified and acceptable. Djokovic defeated Nadal in fair manner. 2012 Wimbledon They closed the roof in 5th set which is extremely important moment for Nadal actually. Nadal is worst in indoor courts for sure from beginning it didn't favour him and his playing style. Majors should be played outdoors only not indoors Tennis is outdoor sport not indoor sport except ATP finals and Paris masters simple Nadal is finished on grass in 2013 not 2012 Darcis Dustin brown Kyrgios Muller defeated Nadal in fair manner they played brilliant against Nadal. Djokovic and Federer are very quick at adapting to the change for sure But not Nadal for sure. Wimbledon 2012 surface is slower than 2011 Wimbledon so mostly it favours Nadal for sure in 2nd week. If they want to close the roof they have to do it in 1st set or 3rd set or 4th set not 5th set which is extremely important for Nadal and his fame also Wimbledon 2012 🏆 is robbed from Nadal and given to Federer these all are plan and tactics for Federer. Federer can't defeat Nadal in any surface as his performance and level got declined than in his prime at Wimbledon(2006 and 2007) The player who is afraid to look into eye of Nadal lifting Wimbledon title is not acceptable at any cost. Federer have mental block against Nadal for sure. It will be like Australian open 2012 semifinals results only in finals Wimbledon Wimbledon 2012 never happened at all it is discarded simple actually Wimbledon officials did favoritism actually those who are rooting for Rosol are fans of Federer and Murray Who lost to Nadal in 2008,2010,2011) Nadal problem is Djokovic not Murray and Federer as he can handle them better for sure. Nadal have mental block against Djokovic since 2011. They have decided to closed the roof in 5th set which is not right as weather conditions were perfect to play.
The perfect way to play a set against Rafa on grass. Gave him no rhythm by keeping the rallies 2-3 shots maximum, and because of that Rafa never felt comfortable returning his serves when he got a racket on them (often passive so that Rosol could rip the next ball). An absolute masterclass.
Not sure of masterclass. Just lucky. He just wacked the ball and it went in. He was beaten straight sets next game pretty easily from what I remember. Still it was pretty legendary, fun to watch this.
Nadal is most favorite player to reach finals for 6th time and win 3rd Wimbledon title in 2012 actually for people Rosol destroyed Nadal in 5 sets Federer and Andy Murray got relaxed in Wimbledon 2012 😂😂😂 when they heard Nadal lost in 2nd round. It happens few tricky players are unplayable for Big players. Nadal faced 4 players like that which is tough 1. Rosol 2. Darcis 3. Kyrgios 4. Dustin brown 5. Muller(Seeded player) If Nadal reached grandslam finals twice in 2012 He could have reached finals at Wimbledon for 6th time to play against Federer or Djokovic in finals But he lost to Rosol who played best in 5th set actually.
To be fair it would not have mattered who was on the other side of the net or what they tried to do. The only way to beat Rosol that day was to win the match in 4 sets or less
Rafa kept on complaining the whole game after he lost 2 sets, about the delay in the serve of Rosol. He had been a cry baby in the whole game, not able to accept the fact that he is losing to a player who ranked 100. The last racquet pickup doesn't help anything to what he did during the game.
It is not right to close the roof in 5th set which is decider set of the match To make Murray and Federer reach finals they decided to closed the roof in 5th set. Those fools can't beat Nadal so officials stopped him from reaching next round Closing the roof in 1st set or 3rd set or 4th set is OK but not 5th set actually it takes time to adjust to condition and environment. They showed favouritism simple 2012 Nadal>= 2011 Nadal at Wimbledon.
@kal Ke Nadal also lacks Miami, Shanghai and Paris, tournaments which he will never likely win. Nadal is extremely lucky to even have 2 Wimbledons, as he is a pretty mediocre player on grass. Furthermore, he is way behind in weeks at number 1 to Novak and Roger. There is no shame in being the clay goat and the third best player of this era.
@@911801111801 It was to a young and inexperienced Kyrgios. That was a 6 year stretch which the Spaniard failed to even make the quarters at Wimbledon. This is something that never would have happened to Federer and Djokovic in their prime years.
We often use the phrase "in the zone" in tennis. Lukas Rosol was in that zone. He gave everything physically. Just bombed Nadal out of the court. Rosol put so much in this match he lost in next round.
Nope, he went no fs given mode. Basically tried to bludgeon every shot, which worked reasonably well, but has tons of errors as well. But it was clear he was confident he would hold serve till the end
The greatest performance ever imo, especially considering the rankings. Rosol played like a world no.1 that day. Rafa was still world no.2 and was coming off a French Open title run and AO final run. Not to mention the fact he made the final of Wimbledon the year before. Ppl seem to forget, given his subsequent bad form on grass, that he was a favourite for the tournament and was playing exceptional tennis at the time. Rosol just played the match of his life, literally a 1 in 1 million performance where everything he touched turned to gold and he seemed to have no nerves. Nothing Rafa could do against that.
Rosol did it right. Reached the fifth set vs Nadal, might as well just go for it, who cares. And it was the 100% correct tactic. Whats stunning about this defeat is that it took Nadal years to recover from it. It started a run of underwhelming results vs the likes of Darcis, Kyrgios and Dustin Brown and all of them used similar tactics: Hammering it from the baseline, dont even bother setting up the point, just put the hammer down.
Nadal always looks vulnerable on grass after winning FO. He was good in patches between 2007-10 & 2018,2022. But never looks like dominating the grass tournament.
Not really. Nadal had reached the final the last five times he entered Wimbledon before this game against Rosol (winning in 2008 and 2010). It was only after this match that he started to be vulnerable, i.e., in the years that followed 2012.
As a Rafa fan, watching Wimbledon has been very hard from 2012-19. 2012 Rosol 2013 Steve darcis 2014 Nick kyrigos 2015 Dustin brown 2016 - 2017 Gilles Muller 2018 Novak Djokovic 2019 Roger And out of all these the one that hurts most is his loss to Novak in 2018. He was so close. That controversial roof covering, missed set points in 3rd set tie break, missed 3 break opportunities in ninth game in 5th set....that was a tough loss to digest as a Rafa fan. That was a virtual final. The winner of that match was favorite against Kevin Anderson. I think the main contenders for title on grass are Roger and Novak....only an injury to these two can give Rafa a chance to win another title here
Something to highlight about Federer is that since he started winning frequently, it was only at the age of 32 that he had a sudden defeat in a major tournament.
Rosol will be better trainer than player. I love him, I am Czech too but he lost so many matches because of his own errors... It is pity but why not his experiences would be gold for some young Czech player. Thanks Lukáš for all!!!
Rocket services and power shots both on forehand and on back hand from lukas rosol similar kind of display shown by robin soldering in French open 2009 where its almost impossible to beat nadal , but one can’t play regularly with so much accuracy .
Rafa was so cursed at Wimby from 2012/2017 he would always play against guys that were on absolute fire (Rosol, Darcis, Kyrgios, Dustin, Muller) in the early rounds, which makes him look average on grass in that period when in fact he made 5 Wimbledon finals in a row (2006/07/08/10/11, 2009 he was injured) and 7 semi-finals which is actually great. But have to admit that this one in particular impresses me because Rafa was in his prime in 2012 and having a fantastic season
Muller was seeded player Rafael Nadal played excellent against Muller for sure 15-13 Rafael Nadal lost to 16th seed player in 2017 Wimbledon. Dark years for Nadal is 2012 to 2015 Just 4 years he lost to lowest ranked players who are outside top 50 players 2016 he didn't play at all 2017 Nadal played great against Muller but lost in 5th set He started playing great from 2017 to 2022 reached 3 semifinals in Wimbledon for sure losing to bigger players like Djokovic and Roger Federer in semi finals. Rafael Nadal is one of the greatest tennis player in the world He reached Wimbledon finals 5 times from 2006 to 2011 and won 2 Wimbledon titles. He played bad in 2012,2013,2014,2015 lost in early rounds To outside top 50 players for sure Just 4 years not a big thing for sure He reached Wimbledon semi finals 8 times which matters the most now He came 4th or 3rd place almost got bronze medal for sure😂😂😂😂😂 Rafael Nadal can beat Norrie easily in straight sets also For if they play due to his mental strength and physical strength. He came 3rd place in Wimbledon 2022 for sure. He came 3rd place in Wimbledon In 2018. He came 3rd place in 2019 Wimbledon which is big thing for player like Nadal. 3rd or 4th place actually out 128 players It is improvement and development for Nadal in Wimbledon In 2023 Wimbledon if he is not injured he will reach finals for 6th time and lose to Djokovic in finals in 4 or 5 sets.
anyone putting this down to Nadal playing badly needs to look at some of the stats for this match. Rosol's *AVERAGE* groundstroke speed was 86mph and peaked at 116mph. That's faster than some people serve. Nadal may look like he's hitting unforced errors but it's just because Rosol was hitting SO hard
Easy to say in hindsight but I'm surprised Rafa didn't vary his game more. He just kept hitting nice top spin balls into Rosol's hitting zone who was going for broke.
Rafa lost a bit of momentum after winning the 4 th set when they decided for an hour break before the 5th, that helped Rosol to regroup himself,had they continued without that delayed break I guess Rafa would have broken him in the 5th but we never know, credit to Lukas for playing so well
Rosol played at a very intense level. But he is a gloating winner. This match was, is and will remain the highlight of his career. Defeating the greatest tennis player of all time in a second round match only to lose the next one.
It doesn't matter- he put Nadal out- could have potentially saved Fed from being overtaken, or equalled, so no matter if he played garbage next round, I salute him, for that!
Rosol saved Big players like Djokovic,Federer and Andy Murray by stopping Nadal in 2nd round. Nadal was in full of vengeance and 🔥 actually and Djokovic is not in his head like 2011. He would take vengeance for Wimbledon 2011 actually Djokovic would be burnt if he met Nadal for sure. Rosol is 💧 Nadal is 🔥 Nadal got broken mentally and physically it took 5 years to reach semifinals actually. Djokovic surpassed Nadal fully at Wimbledon I don't think he will get chance to beat Djokovic in 2023 to 2026. Nadal is nightmare to Federer and Murray at Wimbledon for sure Djokovic would also not playing like 2011. He would get destroyed by Nadal for sure Rosol was born to stop Nadal before entering 2nd week actually. Those three players should be thankful to Rosol actually against Nadal at Wimbledon who reached Wimbledon finals 2006 to 2011 lost in 2nd round in 2012.
He now has a ranking for challengers and grandslam qualifications (185). He is 36 years old and only a few older active players are ahead of him. And almost all of them are former top 10 or top 20 players, only Lorenzi and Soeda had a worse ranking maximum and are now ahead of him.
Wimbledon crowd is so toxic lol - they were only cheering cause they wanted Murray to clinch the title before the King shut them up by beating him in the finals
Nadal played bad in final set he should have been extra careful against Rosol for sure. Being more aggressive doing less errors in his shots would have been better.
People say that rosol is being rude but that attitude is necessary for the entertainment in a game so geah looking this match in futurr he can cherish the win with this attitude
He could do it only once.. soderling, darcis , brown this rasool.. they had 1 good day.. and that is the only highlight of there other way disturbing career... Kyrigos developed with each passing day.. and u can see he hated Nadal in 2019 Wimbledon and in 2020 Australian open it changed.. becoz kyrigos knows. Nadal , federed , Djokovic are not 1 day players they are players who will get up and win on all days.. not like these once in a year moment
@@burhanuddinkanchwala18491 I agree with everything but Soderling was much better and more consistent than the rest in the list,he made two FO finals and a few quarter finals at GS
@@N.Kishore Making a few GS finals does not make anyone the best player Your attitude towards the greats of the game towards the game is important Nishkori has been so consistent he has beated the top3 also .. but he can not be counted in the list of the best.. 6 players of the 2010 generations are there Roger Nadal Djokovic Murray Wawrinka Delpo Others are just completing to play the final with these 6

He came 3rd place in Wimbledon In 2018.
He came 3rd place in 2019 Wimbledon which is big thing for player like Nadal.
3rd or 4th place actually out 128 players It is improvement and development for Nadal in Wimbledon
In 2023 Wimbledon if he is not injured he will reach finals for 6th time and lose to Djokovic in finals in 4 or 5 sets.
He is not cursed, he’s just not good on grass
@@NamTran-xc2ip Won Wimbledon twice but not good on grass..
This was one hell of a match! Rosol's forehand and serve were lethal!
Got the early break and never let Rafa back in it. Well done.
Rosol played lights out clutch tennis everyone would have struggled in this match the serving was immense
Poor Nadal played Rosol and Brown at Wim when they activated absolute godmode
TRULY,TRULY ALL ABSOLUTELY BEYOND UNIMAGINABLY UNIMAGINABLE TRANSCENDENT TRANSCENDENTAL TRANSCENDING BOUNDLESSNESS LEVELS OF AMAZINGLY AMAZING AMAZINGNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JAEDEN ABNER D'SA.
AMAZINGLY AMAZING AMAZINGNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ball striking of the highest quality
Omg...what a match ROSOL!
Mind-blowing power!
I remember Rosol kicking nadal’s bottles over and distracting him by waving his racket on return on serve
In 2014 Wimbledon
some of the best hitting I've seen
-6:59 Kukushkin von Kazakhstan?
Yes
Remember watching this live like it was yesterday. What a match. Rosol should have won it in 4 sets. Played out of his mind that day
The best match of Rosol
Both deserve each other. Such classless ppl with their gamesmanship
anyone putting this down to Nadal playing badly needs to look at some of the stats for this match. Rosol's *AVERAGE* groundstroke speed was 86mph and peaked at 116mph. That's faster than some people serve. Nadal may look like he's hitting unforced errors but it's just because Rosol was hitting SO hard
Þis is þe greatest þing I've ever seen
More condensed highlights pls
apart from his attitude/sportsmanship towards Nadal, Rosol was brilliant this match
Usually, the artillery takes a break. It didn't.
Not sure why Nadal wasn't attacking the net, also didn't try a single drop shot... Rosol was killing it with sheer power.
Dude nowadays not even playing tournament like challengers are, Rafa still dominating
Wau, is it just me or rafa was serving so hard in there ?
Easy to say in hindsight but I'm surprised Rafa didn't vary his game more. He just kept hitting nice top spin balls into Rosol's hitting zone who was going for broke.
Rosol was going for broke on every ball even if it wasnt in his strike zone.
Can someone explain me why Kukushkin was in Rosol's box?
They played doubles together that year
What a forehand rosol !!!
Has they been a match where an underdog has taken the racquet off their opponents hand to this extent? This was insane hitting.
Were they rooting for Rosol or were they rooting for Murray
Best Game!
The Czech, the Greek , the Americans and the Swiss have the upper hand in the court .
that first game really killed rafa
Rafa lost a bit of momentum after winning the 4 th set when they decided for an hour break before the 5th, that helped Rosol to regroup himself,had they continued without that delayed break I guess Rafa would have broken him in the 5th but we never know, credit to Lukas for playing so well
Rafa doesn't always do well against big hitters. Same with Soderling. Another interesting matchup.
the peak of Rosol carrier
Nadal actually played really well
Rosol has chances to get most number of grand slams
NEver confirmed ! Sad for him like for soderling
2:23
Rosol forehand>Nadal forehand, on this match tbh
Well, it's grass, and Rosol felt no fear
The day when Rosol won the Wimbledon 😂🎉 no, but amazing Serve and Forehand as that is how to play on grass!!
2017 V. Williams vs Konta 🙏
Rosol's face is something incredible🤤
Rosol played at a very intense level. But he is a gloating winner. This match was, is and will remain the highlight of his career. Defeating the greatest tennis player of all time in a second round match only to lose the next one.
It doesn't matter- he put Nadal out- could have potentially saved Fed from being overtaken, or equalled, so no matter if he played garbage next round, I salute him, for that!
Prateek P He isn’t the greatest of all time especially on grass.
He's the best ever on clay, ok, but not even second on grass or hard court.
Rosol saved Big players like Djokovic,Federer and Andy Murray by stopping Nadal in 2nd round.
Nadal was in full of vengeance and 🔥 actually and Djokovic is not in his head like 2011.
He would take vengeance for Wimbledon 2011 actually
Djokovic would be burnt if he met Nadal for sure.
Rosol is 💧
Nadal is 🔥
Nadal got broken mentally and physically it took 5 years to reach semifinals actually.
Djokovic surpassed Nadal fully at Wimbledon I don't think he will get chance to beat Djokovic in 2023 to 2026.
Nadal is nightmare to Federer and Murray at Wimbledon for sure
Djokovic would also not playing like 2011.
He would get destroyed by Nadal for sure
Rosol was born to stop Nadal before entering 2nd week actually.
Those three players should be thankful to Rosol actually against Nadal at Wimbledon who reached Wimbledon finals 2006 to 2011 lost in 2nd round in 2012.
@@pauljohnson6019didnt age well😂
First round?
Second round.
Nadal has the best serve in 12-13
What ever happened to Rosol anyway??
He still has a great career, won 2 titles, reached #26 and won over 4 milion in prize money. Not that bad isn't?
He now has a ranking for challengers and grandslam qualifications (185). He is 36 years old and only a few older active players are ahead of him. And almost all of them are former top 10 or top 20 players, only Lorenzi and Soeda had a worse ranking maximum and are now ahead of him.
Unbelievable hitting but Rosol got walloped in the next round...
Only win he has against Rafa
Wimbledon crowd is so toxic lol - they were only cheering cause they wanted Murray to clinch the title before the King shut them up by beating him in the finals
Didnt know Rosol was that big of a server...
2:28 WTF
Rosol just had a career match on the biggest stage.
Nothing that anyone could do against hitting like that.
Final game was a joke.
Fuera de su arcilla tiene más competencia.
Nadal played bad in final set he should have been extra careful against Rosol for sure.
Being more aggressive doing less errors in his shots would have been better.
Rosol played as if he were going to die the next day
People say that rosol is being rude but that attitude is necessary for the entertainment in a game so geah looking this match in futurr he can cherish the win with this attitude
Congratulation Rosol for destroying Nadal 🤣🤣🤣
5 setter is destruction?
@@N.KishoreThe 5th set was a destruction
What's he done since........silence......
Well he got divorced:D
He could do it only once.. soderling, darcis , brown this rasool.. they had 1 good day.. and that is the only highlight of there other way disturbing career... Kyrigos developed with each passing day.. and u can see he hated Nadal in 2019 Wimbledon and in 2020 Australian open it changed.. becoz kyrigos knows. Nadal , federed , Djokovic are not 1 day players they are players who will get up and win on all days.. not like these once in a year moment
@@burhanuddinkanchwala18491 I agree with everything but Soderling was much better and more consistent than the rest in the list,he made two FO finals and a few quarter finals at GS
@@N.Kishore
Making a few GS finals does not make anyone the best player
Your attitude towards the greats of the game towards the game is important
Nishkori has been so consistent he has beated the top3 also .. but he can not be counted in the list of the best..
6 players of the 2010 generations are there
Roger
Nadal
Djokovic
Murray
Wawrinka
Delpo
Others are just completing to play the final with these 6
