Here’s how the story continued in Indian Wells: ruclips.net/video/o2jJWqXlCaI/видео.html
This is extremely beautiful.
🇪🇦🐐
You can see how happy he is despite him losing 1 and 2, just look at that smile on his face
yeah but I don't know if that's a good sign when it comes to his rivalry with Nadal. If he wants to be the best has to regard Nadal as an opponent and not an idol when on court.
Rafa was also very good in this since starting up. He was always respectful to other great players outside the court but when he faces them he only saw them as opponents and went for war when needed. We saw this since his first matches with Federer or Moya.
@@GameOfLife55 Well, Nadal won't be around much longer so I don't think this will be a problem going forward. He just happens to see Nadal as a legend, which is certainly understandable so, no problemo.
Nadal is like a teacher to Alcraz. He will bless him whether he wins or loses because after Rafa, Alcraz must glorify the game of tennis.
Well said. Alcaraz lucky to have Nadal as a mentor.
@@AkatsukiShadow this.
Man, this makes me want to meet Nadal a lot more
Ciencia o va sport boyd
Beautifully said. Indeed.
I'd love for Nadal to coach Alcaraz once he retires like Moya coaches Nadal.
It’s a really difficult as Nadal will probably focus on his family and wouldn’t like to travel constantly. He didn’t have a child till now because he want to give full time for his child.
@@unishea1649 very true. Maybe an assistant coach from afar.
Nadal is going to enjoy his well earned millions, and won't coach further from his academy
Nadal has got better things to do in life post retirement I guess
Lol, Ferrero is already well settled with Alcaraz.
Reminds me a lot of young Rafa back in then. He has powerful shots, great athleticism, great feel for the ball, great work ethic, he is humble and fights for every point. With his game he could be successful on all surfaces, not just on clay. Looking at the way he carries himself on court at this young age, he is already a role model for all tennis players.
Let him win 🏆.
Rafa was a complete package right from the day he played his 1st slam and won it... across countries he won fans and admirers... no one can truly match his personality...
Alcatraz carlos good but if he win 3 grand slam in future serendipity for him.
To me it seems that his style of play resembles Novak more than Rafa.
@@jayap3557
.. and Nadal beat world no.1 Federer 6 out of the first 7 times they met. In contrast Alcaraz has only beaten world no. 1 Novak once out of 1 meeting, so the comparison is grossly exaggerated at this point in time ....
This kid has huge potential.
Alcaraz too

This is just the coolest thing to watch. Rafa will be in Carlo's box in 10 years, without a doubt.
If he’s not to selfish to share his knowledge with Carlos
@@viktorcvijanovic6253 yeah because Rafa seems like type 🙄
@@viktorcvijanovic6253 lol. he has academies literally all over the world, training thousands of young kids and adult players to get into the pro level. And you think he's selfish? Even if he isn't in Carlos box, he will be in his academy, training more students to get into pro level. But yea, clearly you are an "ovic" fan, what else do anyone expect?
@@roshanmilton8468 I love Nadal.. who doesnt like him? You are obviously nadal fan and only Nadal fan.
He is one of those tennis players who did not stand behind Novak's back when he needed it the most, but he did not refrain from being silent as well, but pretended to be smart about covid measures.
He has his own academy but I wouldnt say he is training with those kids every day..
@@commondirtbagz7130 I dont think he wants to put much effort for someone to be better than him
Alcaraz will most likely carry the torch for spanish tennis after Rafa retires. He's a great young talent already under Juan Carlos Ferrero tutelage!
What is it with these Spanish players. They are so humble , even in greatness. Good family upbringing being grounded in good manners & humility.
The Spanish fans are used to educated and humble tennis players. Breaking rackets, mistreating ball boys or being rude to the referee is not well seen in our tennis and that way of acting correctly is instilled in them from a young age.
@@alalba2136 : unfortunately we see less & less of gentle well mannered players these days. Part of what society is turning out to be, aggressive & selfish. Sad but true.
Spanish tennis is probably the only part of spanish sport that I love. And I mean, I love them, Nadal especially, but also Ferrer, Muguruza, Moya, and now Carlitos.
MeanwhiIe I hate Madrid, Barca, National Team, Fernando Alonso, Contador... Well, maybe Pau Gasol is ok, but that's about it.
@@lolipedofin HATE is a very destructive word.
@@lolipedofin Debe ser muy triste odiar a equipos y a deportistas. Probablemente tuviste una infancia difícil, con unos padres que no supieron inculcarte el amor al deporte.
Whenever Alcaraz talks about Rafa, you can see the passion in his eyes.
and 2:06 love that smile when he saw the "Rafa's special" in person.
Most players don't even bother to applaud to other opponents when they'd exiting from tennis court after loss , but Nadal almost always applauded..Nadal and Federer are the true classy and a true legends.
I'm a die hard fan of Rafa but it's sad people leave out Nole in this category. Yes, he's a mercurial character but he is equally humble and gracious in defeat.
Rudy
I agree with you 100%.
If Alcaraz wins it's gonna be a turning point of his debut career. I also want to see him play Djokovic on clay this season!
I think it doesn't matter of todays match, because he has been going up and up for quite some time now, and it would be a big surprise if he doesn't end year in TOP10.
Djokovic is not that good on clay
@@reddog6256 he’s incredible on clay, second only to Rafa Nadal
@@reddog6256 you mean Novak Deportovic?
@@reddog6256 He is the french open champion and he took out the unquestionable top on Clay(Nadal), while doing so. But yeah.. he is not that good on clay
Forget Alcaraz, that Nadal guy looks like a good player. He should have a bright future and maybe he will even win one or two tournaments like the French Open!
i dunno mate , i don't think he is that good on clay
@@randi2513 Good point. Nadal needs to prove himself on clay first. I think I got a bit too excited about his future prospects.
@@Kelveron he's an hard-court only type of player. Definitively not suited for clay.
😀
😂😂😂
Alcaraz will be very easy to root for (when he's not playing Rafa, for me). I suspect a lot of guys in Rafa's position would NOT be willing to practice with the young up-and-comer. Doing so only helps Carlos by eroding Rafa's mystique and familiarizing Carlos with his unique game. But Rafa does it. Good guy. Two good guys.
We Spanish people don't realise how lucky we are having this level in tennis. Que gane el mejor
yes, you are spoiled! 😁 it's already 30 years that Spain has great tennis players
We in Italy started to be good maybe the last 5 years, however nothing comparable to Spain
Much love from Italy 🇮🇹❤️🇪🇸
@@wisdon You have wonderful tennis players in Italia... Matteo, Jannik, Fabio, Lorenzo... Italia is top.
I will never forget epic US open final Roberta vs Flavia. What a match!
Io parlo un pó Italiano. Penso che spagnoli e italiani siamo fratelli 😊
2 grands champions, Alcaraz prendra la relève et sera sans aucun doute numéro 1 mondial et gagnera beaucoup de grands chelem 🎾🎾
Rafa is definitely winning french open this year...
I dare anyone Stop Rafa winning french open 2022....
I personnaly discover him in Madrid against Nadal, its incredible to see his development since this match, it was probably his career's turning point.
alcaraz gonna be huge
His birthday present was to play against Nadal , Alcaraz will be a top 10 no doubt!! VAMOOOOOOS RAAAAFAA , VAMOOOOOOS CARLOOOOS 💪🏼🇪🇸🎾❤️
Compared to the time of Madrid 2021, Carlos grew up like a different person. At 1:39 he made a defensive stroke, but now he would be attacking. I'm looking forward to the match between the two.
But that was actually a good choice. It forced Nadal to hit a weaker shot, which then allowed him to attack the ball. Rafa finally hit a lob and Alcaraz put it away. That could be an important shot in their upcoming match, but we'll have to see.
Hoy en indian wells...el alumno vs el maestro...el jugador nuevo frente a su idolo....q dificil
Rafa is definitely winning french open this year....
I dare anyone Stop Rafa winning french open 2022..
Waiting for today’s Indian Wells match! Rafa vs Alcaraz will be lit 🔥
A heck of role model, practice partner, teacher and student. Should be good.
Nicely done! The pictures with Rafa shows how much Carlos has grown and develop. Should be an exciting match! Looking forward to it.
Carlos is so loveable/adorable!
'a dream come tru'.....so sweet
This is such a great collection of pieces of video.Rafa is such a champion,and what a gracious,generous spirit to look up to.clearly Carlos has some of that too,the passion ,the intelligence,and a real twinkle.He loves what he does.No one put it better than Rafa,and like Rafa I am very excited to see what this marvellous young sportsmen goes on to achieve.
Curious to see Alcaraz against Thiem one day. Hopefully, he’ll recover soon.
Alcaraz is super amazing!!!
I remember watching Alcaraz get his first tour level win in Rio 2019, and I'm not gonna lie, I did not expect him to become this good this fast. Undoubtedly he is a future world No. 1
i dont wanna look like i gonna be his boyfriend ,no? - nadal after a few more questions about carlos
😀😀😀
Yeah, it's like:
- Rafa, what do you think about him?
- Yeah, he is a great guy, and I wish the very best.
And on repeat... :) :)
😆
Among all those tennis 🎾 prayers rafael Nadal is my favourite 🙏..
I always pray for him to win 🏆 🙏.
Anytime rafael Nadal is praying match I always go on my knees 🙏 praying to God to strengthen him and favour him....
Anytime he have a match to play my heart always bit me because of the tension, but I always have a faith that he will win 🏆 the match...
Nigeria guy love ❤ you rafael Nadal
Alcaraz is not the future, he is the PRESENT AND NOW
Spain
@@thebobbysisters and he just won the US Open. He’s crazy good
Watch the match live today on Tennis TV -->> tnn.is/watchstream
I like how Nadal didnt give the younger anything. Thats the best lesson, make him earn every point.....
in contrast RogerFederer let Rafa win against him on his 19th birthday... that's what he said the 1st time and then he said the same thing when he won another SF and played Rafa (only to be beaten by him). Perhaps Rafa wrested his 19th birthday present!!! what a kid he was in that year's french open... these new kids are no match for Rafa - from an overall personality point of view...
@@jayap3557 i agree 100%
A must see match not just for Spain, looking forward a great performance from both.
Pero qué majos son los dos. Que gane el que tenga que ganar. Yo me alegraré igual.
Nadal a la roca de Alcatraz... allí pa siempre....
Best trailer in tennis so far. Cant wait !!!
Big time Rafa fan here but I wouldn't be mad if the kid wins. I think he got what it takes to lift the trophy 🏆
Next time !
Alcaraz looks scary good. An intelligent powerhouse. Watch his space.
That smile while saying he can be destroyed again by Nadal is almost like he’s wishing for that, knowing that still it will be a great experience.
Man, even their start with speaking english is similar. Rafa is a goat but I can't wait to see Carlos dominate, I finally know who I am gonna cheer for now that Roger is gone.
It sorta feels like Rafa wants to hand the torch off to Carlos.
But not yet.
Not yet.
That first match can be completely thrown out the window. Carlos was just happy to be there. Now, he actually wants to win.
If The Goat with all his wisdom sees himself as the 18 year old he was once, and rates him for greatness for having the talent and humility for the work ethic, then watch out for this kid!
Nadal Alcatraz Indian wells biggest match of the year outside of majors
Today is the day 😍
Alcaraz is the one...not the mean players, the loud players, the dramatic players, the offensive players, the apathetic players, the yellers...they are a total drag to watch - in spite of their fans - who just don't get it. Alcaraz is polite, kind, sensitive, thoughtful. I hope he beats everyone who thinks it's okay to be an asshole as long as you win....and the players who scowl when they lose a point and scream when they win a point...or shake their fist at their opponents...who are poor losers AND poor winners. I hope he wins everything for years.
Very lovely Rafa _ Alcaraz. !
Good gracious, Carlos is learning English so quickly!
BEST PLAYERS
Great guy....very humble and well mannered!...he will be going far in his tennis career thats for sure...i love watching him play...
Vamos Rafael Nadal fighting 💪💪💪💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏
Damnnnn. Imagine if Rafa becomes Carlos Alcaraz’s coach in the future? He’s going to be in the Top 3 in the future. Maybe Top 1 even.
Juan Carlos Ferrero really elevating his gameeee
The difference in Alcaraz's physicality within a year is impressive. His arms and legs have doubled in size since the Nadal match in Madrid compared to now.
Alcaraz looks like a real well behaved kid in the thumbnail.
I like Nadal, but I wish Carlos to win. Carlos has to pass Nadal one day to become on of the greatests. I hope today is his turning point of his career. No doubt, Nadal is probably the best player on tour now, maybe even stronger than my favorite Djokavic at this moment.
U SALTYYYY Y??
Nah. Djokovic with match practice would beat this Nadal in straights. As far as the Nadal/Alcarez match goes, I expect Nadal to win.
@@jacobschmidt2709 really u think so?
The future , next gen.
Carlitos se ve muy feliz 🥺
Actually semi final Carlos vs Nadal is what people love to see, more than the final. Perhaps Carlos Vs Nadal is actually the final.
Want Alcaraz to win against Nadal, it will not only give confidence to him but also he will be the next best Spanish player to rule tennis.
Good analysis. For those who are not Spanish, do not expect an exhibition match; A Spanish civil war, a sporting duel to the death. From my point of view, Nadal should have retired with the pain in his foot. Alcaraz is very aggressive if "everything goes" he can win. Nadal is the experience, the strategy and tactics on the court, but there may be a before and after this game. Naturally, Rafa does not avoid the challenge, but he is the one who plays the most. Punctuate match Saturday 22:30 h. Spanish time. I think he will win...
underrated comments
Just lovely how Nadal handles it
a must see thriller
He's a Wimbledon champion now🎉🎉🎉
He gave him a lesson that day like it's only upwards for Carlos from now dude is skilled at Nadal and Novak level just need to keep going straight
He’s like a hybrid of Nadal man! That kids gonna do big things really soon
Acho q o lance de super não vai rolar hoje. Nadal vai ganhar pq está em grande fase na quadra dura e experiência!
He looks better than any of the next gen players. He could end up with the most GS Titles without the big 3 in his way.
He will definitely win 10 + grandslams in his career
At least we don't have to worries if Nadal retires cause now we got to see Nadal 2.0 and his name is Alcaraz.... Vamos Espana 💪
I think Nadal also deserves this. Deserves to have a padawan for delivering the light sable. As Nadal said he is like him when he was young. I would be very proud to say a patriot hey keep on doing this at the same way or better than me. And you don't know think about being his coach not yet but possibly in the future.
Nice
Love how Rafa approached him again after the match …he probably can see himself as a young guy in Carlos. He’s looking at his successor…but can still beat him (at Indian Wells 2022). 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑NZ
ΝΑDAL you have to win don't worrying 😟 because he is from the same country he will be be OK.the next champion 😉 of Spain
I know he can destroy me again, 😂😂😂
If Rafa coaches Carlos, then we can be sure enough that we'll be talking about the absolute GOAT of tennis.
2:05 ♥️♥️
wow!! i wish Rafa will be in his box in future after he reties just like how Moya is for him today:)) and also since Thiem is injured and out of circuit for sometime, so it would be nice if Carlos beats Rafa at French Open Final(this is my fantasy now and i am a hardcore Rafa fan since wimbledon 2006). That will be a great torch pass from Rafa to Carlos at the very end of Rafa career in my opinion. Ofcourse there are many other strong and young competitors etc
Mental...if u r Rafa fan....Nadal should win in ur dreams also....Carlos had no chnce in 5 sets...poor fantasy
3:55 literally thought that was Federer on the right lol
Rafa surely will win this match.... ND that's the great possible result for this sport ..otherwise one would say that Carlos beats one of the greats of game perhaps he (Carlos) hasn't achieve any significant success in the sport ....but after some matches I would love to see Carlos takes the legacy of Rafa and Spain forward ...but this tym surely I ll support Rafa.... Vamos
It is going to become a common occurrence this year.
If Carlos loses, if not for Rafael, I truly believe he would have won this tournament.
2:05 "It was dangerous! I'm glad it was out."
Rafael ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😍😍🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️
Alcaraz WILL be No. 1 very soon. As long as he doesnt get injured.
For birthday presents on the tennis court you must play RogerFederer...in a semifinal or final...Rafa got one in 2005 :-)
Praticamente padre e figlio...😁
Alcaraz can only go up and Nadal only down but scary thing is even if Nadal go down he is still on top of 99% of players unless Djokovic is allowed to play again! He is Nadal.s and all players nightmare,in other words too good. GOAT!!!
Joder, qué cansinos.
who's here after Carlos just won Roland Garros 2024
I hope no one looses and Nadal wins tomorrow.
Future Rafa... period
Hopefully Nadal will be his coach in future.
Unstoppable. Nadal was right.
Alcaraz speaks way better English than Nadal used to at 18. Impressive.
but nadal was funnier
As a Spaniard, you can't compare the resources available now to learn English with what Rafa had when he was 18
@@robertozayas5173, of course you can. More or less the same. There have always (well, since the 60's) been (awful) English teachers in public schools and public (and really cheap) languages schools with very well formed teachers where English, French, German and Italian, at the very least, are taught.
Neither Rafa nor Alcaraz have a good English level because they don't need it apart from the ATP press conferences. They live in Spain, train in Spain with Spanish coaches... They lead at least 90% of their lives in Spanish. It is not a need for them to speak other languages.
@@fran282 yeah that's why the media likes him a lot at that time. No boring moments with Rafa every time he speaks English, he is very confident with his answers 😆 😉
@@robert111k I'm just saying that there are more opportunities to learn English now than ever before
I hope with his great talent that he continues to grow as a gentleman like Nadal, and not go down the road of violent characters like Novac Djocovid, N. Kyrgios, and A. Zverev.
Long live Ukraine. 💙💛💓
I hope one day Nadal will be his coach just like Moya was his
1:53 is he djokovic?
Carlos has all the attributes of a future all time great. With health on his side he could win 10 plus slams,. 20 slams may be asking to much. But who knows
I don't see why not... Rafa has won 21 already while he had to compete against both prime Fed and prime Novak(not to mention Andy, Stan, Delpo etc). Alcaraz probably won't have to compete against players of that caliber. I mean no1 else on Tour right now has the ceiling that Carlos seems to have.
let the kid breathe
@@plantahari Yeah trust me he doesn't concern himself with what random dudes on yt say about him. He couldn't care less.
carlos isn't toast . he is a great salad . aha .
