He has the right attitude. Wish it were more normal, though. I think quite a lot of little known players never throw or smash racquets in anger, but it obviously doesn't get talked about. I know I've never broken one on purpose, though I once accidentally broke one by tapping the back of a bench with it to get my opponent's attention in an argument. I felt bad and also pretty surprised because I didn't think I'd swung at all hard.
Indeed, there was some interview for a spanish tv show not very long ago, before said interview they played a small tennins match, nothing serious. The presentator of the tv show threw the racket to the ground at the end of the "match", after lossing it. You could see nadal was really upset. Not that he made a big deal of it but you could tell that he doesnt like such things. I think rackets are sacred for this guy.
Yeah Respect to Rafa! Some of the young players on the tour need to learn from Rafa! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might change someone’s life!
No racket harm, but the slow motion shot of him getting back up from tripping on the same line like 3 times in one match at Rome (?) a few years back is beautiful. I've never seen him look so angry
Just to give a background to people who dont know. He's a product of Uncle Toni. Uncle Toni had said to him once when he was a kid and broke a raquet that if you ever smash the raquet I will never teach you again. That day and its today he just got his 21st and he has never ever smashed a raquet. “You throw one racket and I’m no longer your coach. There are millions of kids in the world who would love a racket and don’t have one,” said Toni, to his six-year-old nephew.
And that is exactly why he never smashed a racket. Too many kids can't afford one, so have respect for that racket and the opportunity you have to own one. I remember that interview very well.
@@supersus6897 Yes but smashing the racket means that you violently break the racket completely. Many tennis players are horribly spoiled and because of their sponsorship they treat their hundreds of dollars rackets like it's nothing and break them without any regards. Nadal knows better and even when he's frustrated he never breaks his racket
@@punpun2773 Nah mate, let's take Djokovic for an example bc he broke quite a lot of rackets. Do you think he breaks rackets cause he likes to? Smashing rackets is one of the ways to let out the anger. I don't understand what's wrong with that. We are people, we ain't robots and we are all different.
The one with Wawrinka was the final of the AO when he had the back injury. I would have crushed everything on my way, he just hit the racket with his fist twice. That's selfcontrol
Rafa will never smash a racket . he is too good in controlling his anger.. even when he gets emotional he finds a way to control it ... thats why he is best
@Water Wilderness dude I don't agree. Ali did experience his greatness. He died in 2016. He was an icon while he was alive and boxing. He would've crushed the today heavyweights as well. For me Ali and rafa are my all time favorite sportsmen. But I respect your opinion.
@Water Wilderness o OK like that. Yeah I know what you mean. I unfortunately didn't witness it live as well but there is sooo much footage of him that I did watch every fight almost. Especially his iconic ones and know almost everything about him there is to know. Very happy did experience rafas journey. As I watch tennis since the late 80s... And Rahul dravid is what I've seen a cricket goat. Nice sport as well. Have to follow it more.
The reason why Nadal is the only GOAT is that he's a natural born righty. He turned left handed at ten of age, and he won his first grand slam title merely nine years after. He's a genius plain and simple 😳
The new generation all of them can easily beat Djokovid than Rafa! Djokovid will not be able to pass Rafa because he is not athletic like Rafa his body is also get older ..
Lol, Novak is the GOAT, and you can only cry about it. Your bull ain't a gentleman. He always was a sore loser. He even verbaly abused umpires, threatened them. He distespects his opponents, like he did to Sonego or Shapo. He backstabed his fellow player (Novak) in Aus. Every time he loses he says he was injured 😂.
@@BikiG1 he says that now cause he got older and is injured lol. And he has not been saying that when he is not injured. Regardless he always gives credit to the opposing player and never says that he should have won if he was not injured. Djokovic did the bathroom break tactic so many times and we know he did for the exact thing u said nadal does. Nadal apologised for what he did, so at least he takes accountability when he is wrong. Nadal was asked on his stance and he said he would take the vaccine and it is dangerous to enter. It is his opinion and peoples lives are above tennis, and I disagree with it but its his stance based on the knowledge he has. He never said anything to diss djokovic, as he literally said djokovic is the goat, and so is federer. He might be that good but he never thinks that. What are you even talking about lmao.

And this is the difference between Nadal and djokovic. This video was short because Nadal doesn't break rackets. When he messes up its his fault not the rackets. When djokovic messes up the racket is broken without hesitation because he has no self control. I'd like someone to prove me wrong
I believe his self-control came from his uncle Toni Nadal too.. I read that Toni said in one of interviews that he once told Nadal in early stage of coaching him if he (Nadal) ever breaks racquet in training or any official matchs, he (Toni) will stop coaching him for ever..
