They need to make a motion picture about Rafa after he retires. This guy's perseverance in the face of adversity and injury is a legendary thing of utter beauty for all ages and for all time. In my humble opinion, the greatest. Full stop.
Well dude, Your wish is 50% true..... 2yrs on in Oct 2024, Rafael Nadal announces his retirement from tennis end of season at The Davis Cup..... So just need to fulfill untold legend of nadal.
@jooohan-i9o Brother you just summed up with "oh opinions are pointless". GOAT doesn't really mean objective, statistically most sound person, it's whoever the hell you consider to be the greatest, out of a SELECTION of statistically outstanding people. And talking about that shit is generally entertaining. How the hell do you think the console wars or messi vs ronaldo, or hell fucking pepsi vs coca cola ever became a thing if people didn't enjoy spouting their opinions on their favourite things? It's fun, and does no harm.
Nadal will retire with a winning record against Federer and he also has had a big rivalry with Djokovic. Fortunate for great players like Laver and Sampras that they did not face Nadal. And now Djokovic and Federer have to win at least 2 majors to finish with more than Nadal. 13 French Opens so far. And he could win it more. And imagine all the majors he might have won if he did not have all the knee injuries. Also, this Australia Comeback by Nadal at his age against a hard court player like Medvedev is a real statement by Nadal. The ultimate competitor. The intensity and hunger of Nadal to win will be missed win he is gone. I never watched Nadal play a match without rooting for him, as great as his rivals are. He has won all 4 majors and Olympic gold. I can't yet rule out him being the greatest. There is a case for it at this point, regardless of how popular Federer is or how controversial Djokovic can be. Nadal is tennis. All court player who just refuses to lose. Nadal is a freight train, actually very talented, along with his almost supernatural fighting spirit to win whether he is in a bagel set or marathon tiebreaker situation. Love Nadal's intensity, it is priceless and who wants to win as much as him? Seems like he is as hungry to win as Connors was, if not more.
@@jerryl9823 -- Nadal is sensational and unique in so many ways. He has a winning record against Federer (mostly clay court wins). However, Federer won 7 out of their last 10 matches. Boom.
The first word when I think about Rafa is impossible. For him that word doesn't exist at all, the things he has reached through all these years and the way we fight beyond the limits, the way he acts in and out the court. Simply the greatest sportsmanship of all time for me. Happy birthday legend!
It was Borg's at one time too. Seems like yesterday Borg won 6 French Opens. Who would have expected that record to be broken. But Nadal has won 13 French Opens so far. Borg's birthday is June 6, 3 days after Nadal's. Too bad they weren't born during a Wimbledon lol
@@jerryl9823 who knows how many Borg would have won if he wouldn't have retired so young. If he had the benefits of today's medical tech perhaps he wouldn't have suffered burn out like he did
We are all here because we love watching Rafa play. His gritty on court performance style is always nice to watch. He is just the best. Nadal Is My Champion!
@@markvandehey4187 I think Alcaraz is definitely a more complete player then Rafa was, his serve, backhand, Forehand and net game are much better than Rafa's were at his age
@@wave1468 people say that nadals not a complete player hahah it’s such a crazy statement , an an entertainer skill wise on the court he is the GOAT, I respect both Novak and Fed but if the three of them played against each other at their PEAK, nadal would come out on top
@user-si4nt5gt9b No Nadal’s touch was not amazing. Now his net game is good as long as he gets a good shot to come in off of. Watching Nadal’s matches when he was younger his net game was nowhere near as good as Alcaraz. And Nadal’s drop volleys are not even close to Alcaraz to this day. He’d hit the occasional great volley, but Alcaraz does that regularly
@@FinMckee Djokovic and Nadal have literally played each other at their peak in 2011. And Novak won every single match. 2011 would have been Rafa’s best year if not for Novak
When Rafa is beating Federer the crowd almost doesn't applauding the reaction is like are in a funeral .. Btw Happy Birthday The GOAT of tennis VAMOS RAFA Good luck..
Mi Muy Apreciado Nadal Sos Un Ejemplo De Vida; Mi Hijo Y Yo Hemos Aprendido Con Vos, Que Trabajo Constante E Intenso Con Esperanza Produce Frutos De Éxito, Y Aunque A Veces Se Pierda, Se Gana Con La Lección Aprendida, Bendiciones Rafael Nadal Hoy Y Siempre ,Amen
Dedicated fans like you are the reason why I’ve archived so much greatness,I’m not complete without you as my fan; you’re highly appreciated🌹 Where are you watching from?🥰
i wish they would put a small flag on the side of the court in camera view so that people watching can understand which way the wind is blowing and how hard.
Haha 5:30 Almagro's like "even on hard, I can't beat him". Back to 2008 when he said about Rafa "He will win Roland Garros 40 times in a row, He will be 65 and still be winning Roland Garros"

6:05 you are a legend, vs one legend, and the level of respect of nadal, look how up the hand after celebrate the point, and see a Djokovic who looks at the final of pitch, and say sorry with the hand, best sportmanship of the history
I love watching Djokovic and Nadal matches. Proper slugfests that have an element of comedy to them. The RG Semi Final in 2013 had Djokovic turning into a pantomime villain as he couldn't believe some of the shots Nadal was pulling off. 😅
He is a wild player the king of clay is UNPILEVIMPLE enjoy his game before his retirement I don't thing it will be anather player like Nadal he gave everything oll he have eiven ignoring pain for the game that he's love. 👍💕💕
This guy i believe is the greatest sportsperson ever lived, big shout i know, but when fans love him ,then it's close. I adore him and no apologies. Font knock me because i don't care , i love rafa 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Not sure how many Rafa fans do it, for the last 17 years not a day has passed without searching Rafa Nadal in google. Though the king has moved on to become a Legend I still google him. For me Rafa is an emotion. Emotion that signifies fighting till the last breadth for what you love. 😢 He is undoubtedly one of the greatest sporting legends this era has produced
2006 - Italy won the FIFA World Cup ; Nadal won Roland Garros 2010 - Spain won the FIFA World Cup ; Nadal won Roland Garros 2014 - Germany won the FIFA World Cup ; Nadal won Roland Garros 2018 - France won the FIFA World Cup ; Nadal won Roland Garros 2022 - Argentina/France will win the FIFA World Cup ; Nadal won Roland Garros

First thing I think about with Rafa is his gloriously juicy booty ..
Of course he loves the French Open; it's basically his personal birthday present each year 🎂
Until Novak says NO!
@@Roosyer it's ok Raffa wins 13 times he just Menzies 2 see you next year.

King of clay for sure, but he is best on Spanish Red clay.
Happy Birthday, Rafa. Wishing you good luck in your match today. Much love and respect. I am a fan for life.
Watching again after his retirement... GRACIAS RAFA for every GREAT SHOTS you have made, VAMOS RAFA!
