What better way to celebrate the return of Rafa than with a Tennis TV GOAT Sweatshirt! 🐐www.tennistv.store/
What GOAT?
@@AlaReDuSbig three only
@@AlaReDuS🇪🇸
Thank you Tennis TV !
Didn't we miss Nadal. So good to watch.
I literally stopped watching tennis since AO 23
Oh yes!
The amount of power Rafa generates with his outside step cross court forehand is deadly!
it definitely looks that way from this, and notice djokovic tried to do it in the clip vs de minaur in the united match and blew it out you could tell as soon as he hit it its not in his repetoire like it is/was for Federer/Nadal. Nadal seems to really get the punch into this out of any as he's put on the muscle in his later years.
@@gibblewayRafa’s forehand is getting that Roger sting these days and it’s a very very dangerous sign for Novak in my opinion.
But i dont think nadal will be a threat in AO since nole will be nole and meddy will play and alcaraz too. Idk. It would be nice if nadal can make a good run
If novak is injured..who knows 🤷@@NightLife094
Aka “inside out” in tennis. That’s Nadal’s trademark forehand shot.
This was an equally impressive performance as the one against Thiem. Rafa is making another epic comeback. Phenomenadal!
I'll be very happy if he wins a title right away on his return
@@Theuzzx7 *We'll be
to be honest he gets great angles into his shots with his body movement and as long as he stays fit with his weight later into his years I dont see why he cant make the case this season.
@@Theuzzx7 Hilarious! He will max out at 4th round in AO. Matter of time.
@@user-us7rg4cd6p He just said a title not a major. Anyway, don't have to slap him down when you make the least ambitious prediction ever.
Im shocked at Nadals level after 1 year off. This is insane
18 months which is way more impressive
doping
Doping by all means!
🎾 - AMAZING IS THE WORD, AMAZING! = ( NOT INSANE - AMAZING! -)🎾
Honestly. This was amazing to watch! I can't believe the level Rafa's already at
Against who? It's all relative, wait till he meets proper contenders, this seemed fixed to me, if it was clay I would understand, either that, or the opponent is really rubbish, and folds like a tent.
None of his opponents are top 10.
@@komalknot about that you can tell with nadal shots but tbh he needs lots of matches to get a feel of it
@@pauljohnson6019you are the one who needs fixing 😅 i doubt it though..
Lol it's an ATP 250, do people expect him to play harder opponents than Thiem in first round ? He has Dimitrov and Rune if he wins the QFs and they win their matches.
1:36 - one of Rafa's signature shots
WHAT A SHOT!!!
1:10 and what about this one!
@@pilroonesaw that shot in wimbledon and rg 2017
@@yolurks9577RG 2022 too
Vintage NADAL!
It's such a shame that this man's career was plagued with injuries. When he's healthy, he's absolutely incredible. VAMOS!
A "shame"? Those injuries are the inevitable consequence of mercilessly beating your own body up for many years.
Dumb comment. His playstyle is based on raw power which leads to injuries. If he had never been injured, it would've mean that he never played at his best level
@@alexmay2825Go and google what Muller Weiss Syndrome before spreading your uninformed opinion,mate.
@@frenchflair7699 True and false at the same time. Nadal already has a degenerative condition called Muller Weiss Syndrome in his left foot which puts additional strain on his foot and knee and hips.. True his playing style is brutal but so is Novak's but he has been injured far less...
@@frenchflair7699No. Actually your comment is dumb. Nadal injuries are because he has a misgrown foot. It has nothing to do with his playstyle.
Pure joy watching him again. Feels so good.
scary how good this guy is when he isn't hindered with injury... glad to see him move so well and he seems to have the confidence as well. incredible considering such a long break. if he prevents injury he's a serious contender again i reckon
we will only see how strong he really is when he plays against the top ten players and especially against Alcaraz and Djokovic. You can't say anything about Nadal's actual form against a weak opponent.
Definitely the goat with these many injuries throughout the years still 22 grand slams in no joke we could only
Imagine if no injury to him and also if 2 clay court grand slams 😂
@@streamingwithaswin If only counts for nothing in sport. His injuries are mainly due to his style of play.
@@supernemesis5244 of course you can, the way he moves, his shot choices, reaction after winning/losing points all factor in. Of course you can't be certain but the fact that he seems to be moving without pain or problems, he seems to play consistent and his mindset is good. You can't predict how he will fare against Alcaraz or Djokovic but you can definitely see how his form is. The fact that you can only judge him after playing the best players in the world seem to indicate that you still expect him to be nr3 anyway. After a year of absence, that's amazing standards
@@streamingwithaswin if if if doesnt exist said your idol🤣🤣
So often in the last few years Nadal and Djokovic exchange seasons. Nadal was good in 17, then Novak in 18, then Nadal in 19, then both of them were 50-50 in 20, Djokovic in 21, Nadal in 22, Djokovic in 23. You know what is happening this year already.
The trend continues
Totally agree!
Now time to Alcaraz, Sinner, Rublev and others
Djoko and Nadal get no one title this year
@@user-vn5ng2zt9lI heard this same conversation in 2022, and Nadal won two grand slams that year and only didn't play in the Wimbledon final because he was injured. the same conversation in 2023 and Djokovic went there and won 3 grand slams. You still don't understand that these guys are goats.
@@user-vn5ng2zt9lno title? Year is starting))
1:13 what a shot! 👏👏👏
The foot work is so good on this one
It was like a bullet!
Generating so much pace from a slow slice like that is scary.
1:10 for a better time stamp
Flawless Victory there
What is amazing about Nadal is that he doesn't go for fine margins: he hits the ball well within the court and way over the net. It's just his relentless consistency + inventive angles that wear people down.
That's exactly wat rafa is. That's y he is wat he is.
And the incredible spin.
Unfortunately That's also his problem on hardcourt against Djokovic. Nadal plays the ball too short and against Djokovic on hardcourt that is a death sentence.
@@testingforyoutube but how does rafa hold a positive h2h record against Novak in us open if it's a death sentence.
How does he have more us open than Novak
How does he have a Olympic gold played on hc.
Its only the ao low bounce that's a problem
@@chocosquirrel3319 Rafa cant win a single set in hc since 11 years ago against novak
Rafa’s backhand has gotten deadly. It’s clear that he worked on perfecting his backhand during the rest.
His backhand is awesome, is too strong right now
His backhand CC is very strong, but his backhand DTL is not strong.@@Byemiek
You can see and feel it, Rafa is on the court. Tennis is tennis again. Courage, bravery, humility, commitment, camaraderie, respect...Humanity. The best of them all has returned.
It doesn't matter if he wins or loses. HE IS HERE!
No one talks about his backhand.. it’s honestly generating so much power compare before..
Rafa is looking pretty strong so far. I hope he can remain healthy.
Go Rafa!!!!!
Igen. Ez a legfontosabb, hogy ne jöjjön közbe semmi.
Whats amazes me is that he is playing without doubts, building the points fast and aggressively, like he was all the year on tour... And his backhand and serve look very good too. He is amazing.
Vamos nadal
Honestly didnt expect such strong comeback👍
1:10 the footwork the speed the power. Good Lord. 37 years old btw🐐
Different Nadal, but with smart positioning and top notch sharpness and accuracy. I am impressed.
Seem like Sabalenka style
His backhand seems stronger than ever
I hadn't realized how much I've missed him until I've watched him play again. Vamos Rafa!
He is truly a top-class athlete😊😮👌
Now I am going to watch tennis again😊❤
I didn't realized how much I missed Rafa until I watched the highlights from his two recent matches.
Rafa brings something so special to the game.
Always been a rafa fan, what a warrior he has been. Win or lose from here on, he has nothing to prove to anyone. Lets just enjoy this amazing gladiator splil his blood and sweat for every point as he has done for so long. Vamos
I am an avid Novak fan, but I have to admire and recognise Nadal as the comeback King. None can rival him in that realm, more so especially coming after such a long lay off - not even Novak. To get into his groove seamlessly is unparalleled. My hats off to him.
You are not a Novak fan and u don't know tennis.. stop disguising in disgust.. u are Nadal fan.. cos the whole world knows that the come back king is Novak Djokovic
@@dcjosh69 haha you nole fans do no favor for novak. part of the reason people hate novak is because his fans are so militant
@@dcjosh69 Then, probably you are not a Novak fan, but a Nadal hater.
Why people hate Novak is simply because he is the greatest of all time... As for being a Nadal hater . I can't be . Because why should I go for peanut (Nadal) when I can have the gold(Novak)
Some Novak fans only know the way they can praise Novak is by belittling other players. At least, be reasonable and respectful to others' opinions. The sour comments will only expose your bitter feelings towards the great players who are loved by millions.
this made me happy, as much i want him to enjoy his success and slow down he continues this passion even after recovering from an injury. as long he is there 100% we are here for it.
1:14, One of the most impressive shots I've seen, I think. He's the only player in the world who can hit such a strong slice ball.
He has hit a few of those before, including one in this video from Wimbledon ruclips.net/video/tAcXx0JgKKA/видео.htmlsi=JBDSm46pU0x-DrCY
TheSpitfiregun : That slice ball shot is 1:09.
Not a slice - 1:10 is a slice but not a strong one.
His slice is phenomenal. His tactical switch to it the AO final is what triggered the famous comeback against Medvedev.
Nadal killed the slice ball from Kubler with a hard flat forehand. But you are correct that this is one of Nadal's signature shots
The return of a Titan!
While I am more a Djokovic fan, I really admire Nadal's game!
You guys are so rare. Peace
@@ethanrin9518actually we are plenty but the saltiness rafa and some of you rafanatics carry makes it difficult to express the respect we have for rafa tbh
@@ethanrin9518 Not that rare. I am one as well.
The pace & precision of that inside out forehand is unrivaled. Only Rafa can pull it off consistently & at that level.
At this point I don't even care if he loses I'm just so relieved to see him on a court 😭😭😭
The running forehand wrist-shot at 0:44 shows such great defence when he was caught out of position. It gets so deep to the backhand corner and hangs in the air long enough for Nadal to recover.
I know his forehand is his signature shot but when he leans in a backhand it’s so beautiful 😁
Phenomenal Rafa. Absolutely stunning like he never left.👌🏻💪🏼👍🏼 impressive performance.such a pleasure to watch Rafa.
Wow. He is at very high level
I´ve missed you a lot, Rafa. What a pleasure to see you again.
Bro ist 38 years of age. Damn the big 3 are something different for reak
37
Rafa’s Backhand is so good!!! It’s like a forehand 🎾
He just needs to throw in some flat forehands more often and his chances will skyrocket.
Rafa is right handed so technically his backhand is his forehand 😂
His ball striking seems a bit flatter anyone else noticed this? +
@@tonyndege8582did you see the flat fh Vs Thiem -he killed it
@@vegebhe needs a better 1st serve.
I can literally watch this forever. 1:10
Damn he looks sharp! The real GOAT is back baby!
I just love watching Nadal play. His style of tennis and his effort and passion for the game makes it so entertaining. Vamos, Nadal!
Why people are disbelieving about his comeback? We still talk about Rafa!!! Incredible performance 👏
Omggg…
Look at the way he delivers it..
Totally astonishing ❤
@3:18 The disguise - Carlos can still learn a thing or two from Nadal in terms of disguise and placement, the ability to disguise shots, distribute the game and place the ball. It is great to see Rafa play again healthy. Both his forehand and backhand motions can be adjusted with a shortened or extra long stride last second to change direction.
I didnt expect his return to be this impressive. Wow. Cant wait for Paris!!
Fr he was so shaky and unconvincing in the warmup to AO 2022 but he has turned up in some style this season.
Imagine a match with Rafa playing like this against Alcarez. Exciting. Rafa my all time favourite.👍
The amount of power he uses to attack is insane
His power is ridiculous ..
Is it just me or has his backhand improved
The power of that BH is insane
It's hard to say when his opponent was just outclassed in every respect today. That will have to be judged against the big guns.
Nah, it's been that good for a while when it's on. He just doesn't always hit it that aggressively
BH CC not BH DTL.@@emmanuelgalasso
He seems incredibly well rested and hungry!
That forehand winner at 0:07... That backhand winner at 0:18... That forehand winner at 1:10... Super backhand overhead winner at 1:34... Nice backhand volley at 2:35 Nice get on a drop shot and he places a perfect backhand pass at 3:27... And another great backhand winner on match point at 3:56.
Haven’t watched tennis since he is not on tour. Tennis is not tennis without Rafa. I wish my guy all the best and hopefully he wins all grand slams this year. I know it’s not possible but let me dream. ❤️❤️❤️😍😍
Watching him play, you wouldn't think he hasn't played any game in almost a year...this guy is something else indeed!
Don't wanna jinx him, but he is better than in 2022 lol
Nah, that's not the case, but his shot selection is getting better each year, while movement is declining. However, his anticipation is along with Novak the best of all time so movement won't really be a problem even at 37. He knows where the ball is going. Nadal if healthy will have an amazing 2024.
He so lean now and looks much faster, clearly he's enjoying tennis again without pain
He's hitting the ball harder but not moving that well and that will affect him when playing against bigger offensive players, hopefully he gets better 🙏
@@AlmstfamI agree, he’s moving OK though. I think what’s most important is that he closes rallies out and doesn’t get caught into a game of rallying. He has big shots, needs to paint lines and conserve energy. It is incredibly HOT here in Australia at the moment, the humidity is insane, long 5 setters in a big tournament will definitely have an impact.
@@NLLeFaI don't think anyone in the comment section is good enough at tennis to judge Rafa's shot selection. Even if you wanted it badly, you couldn't see a difference between 10 years ago and now, because you don't have the level for that.
I'm just happy to have the privilege to see him play again ❤ vamos Rafa!!!
I really hope that injuries will not prevent Rafa from spending at least a couple more seasons at least close to his level.
My truly idol...superb condition
Those cross courts are sick 😮
Much improvement. Keep up the work, Rafa.
I love the way Rafa keeps coming back each time. He really makes sure he is at 100 %. That proves he has a lot of respect for his body, his mind, his team and his fans.
Insane. To be out that long and come back that clean. Regardless of what happens next that in itself is astounding!
How is this even possible? To be this good after such a long time not playing? And his backhand is even bettet than before if im not mistaken.. Im Novaks fan but after this, i got even more respect for Rafa.
1:12 Slim chances for anyone to return that shot. So much power and top spin it’s phenomenadal!

What a great player! applause👏👏👏
I don't expect anything from him, just happy to watch him playind and to see that he is still competitive. Against the top 10 in a slam it will probably be a different match
No it won’t,
@@pzh1 well I hope you're right but one thing is playing against kubler in an atp 250 and one thing is facing sinner or Djokovic in the quarter finals of the Australian Open
@@ja_9568He doesn't have to beat Sinner and Djokovic yet. For the moment all these smartasses that predicted Nadal would be eliminated in first round are all wrong. He is already in third round. And he will still get seriously tested if he manages to reach far enough to play Dimitrov and Rune.
@@testingforyoutube that's what I'm saying, I think that he has his chances to win this title, but I read many comments predicting that Nadal will be the winner of the aus open and that's ridiculous. Not that he's not able to do it but 3 out of 5 is a different story and a slam is different from an atp 250
he didnt beat kubler he massacred him and regular atp player dont massacre their adversaries in general unless its the big 3, thats why@@ja_9568
As a neutral fan, I've got to say Rafa is incredible. I don't think people realize how rare it is to be away from the game for 12 months and to just roll in and win his opening matches pretty comfortably, even against players ranked outside the top 50. He's probably not ready to beat top 5 players yet, but if he stays healthy, he'll be the favourite for all the events during the clay court swing
Back like he never left, what an absolute animal man. Holy moly
The real GOAT is back!!
lol. You made my day!
@@oliviernikolcic3337 An IC boy, what else!
Really impressive performance 😮 So many great shots from Nadal
He’s definitely hitting harder than before or using a different string weight maybe - his ball seems huge - Let’s go Nadal!
What a win from a player ranked 672 in the world, I bet his has a fantastic career ahead of him!
And behind!
He has the talent so when he is fit, he is a contender for the big titles with of course Novak and also Alcaraz and Medvedev and Sinner. Nadal is on an adrenalin rush, being finally back and being fit again.
At the minute 1:12 we understand that Rafa has come back even stronger than before
That forehand around 1:12 is BRUTAL!!! He murdered that thang!
Nadal is a legend !
Insane, I think he had a nice recovery-break!
It will be interesting to see Nadal against Dimitrov. That should tell us where he is at.
Or Rune
Nadal has a great record against Dimitrov.
He cant even win against Thompson
He's one of the best ever. If he comes back, he doesn't do it just to play mediocre. He does it because he can win every match against anyone, and mantain his top level.
Exactly! He’s a fierce competitor!💪🏽
Except Thompson lol
What’s looking great is the cross court backhand.
1:09 capolavoro!!!!!
Never thought the score would be like that,big 3 know how to adapt really quick
Lol Roger is a joke.
As a Novak fan yes I accept rafa is right at the top but Roger no no
@chocosquirrel3319 what about his ao 2017 title run?
@@chocosquirrel3319 Yeah and when he was beating Djokovic when he was 38 it was a joke as well😂
@@dinfak7939 he did not . He only use to beat him wen he was allowed to
@@chocosquirrel3319 Lol what do you mean "allowed to"? Allowed by whom?
he moves like there were no injuries at all.. I hope this level of tennis continues till the AO and.. fingers crossed, RG.
The angles of his shots are CRAZY😮😮🎉🎉
The goat doing nadal things
Rafa is getting matches and he is playing at a high level. Lets see he how he fares against top 30 players and his consistency day in-day out, specially with longer matches under his belt. If he can get some consistency there, stay injury free during prolonged periods of time + work on his return (specially his forehand return), he will be again top 10 or top 5 at the end of the year + have many chances at 1000 masters and GS titles ;)
1:13 ..the beauty
I like how rafa is changing his playstyle
Kudos to the both, hope Rafael stays healthy
the King is back!
Just another level. Impressive.
Holly! That backhand at the end 🚀🧨
Poor kubler didn't stand a chance
Wow, Rafa! I love it when he is in this mood of firing torpedoes from all over the court and not wasting time on defence.
I lovs rafa ..the warrior
I’ve been waiting to see that height backhand volley from Rafa 👏👏
Good to have Nadal back! French open finals this year will be another classic 😎
Mark my words, this man is going to win the Australian Open and very likely his 15th Roland Garros.
Marked
Rolandgarros ye but not Ao
Ao Wimbledon us open all 3 for Djokovic this year+ Gold maybe
@@onlysmmkit’s going to be hard for him to play best of 5 against Alcarez, Sinner and Djokovic on clay. All are in the hunt and I expect Alcaraz and Sinner to be especially hard on clay this year as they mature.
@@springfield03sniper if he rest well for Rolandgarros and practice alot he can wins it even beating both Alcaraz Djokovic together
Sinner not good on clay
He is the best ever on RG. Crazy level for that exact surface. In my book, he is the favorite against any of those guys. He only needs to look this good.@@springfield03sniper
Estos son los juegos desesperados para Raphael, que recuerdan a 2011 2012 cuando estaba en su mejor momento vamos rafa ❤️
