Truly. And it just goes to show what a different sport doubles is versus singles. I was trained as a singles player, and I remember what a shock it was when I first tried doubles. You think, “oh it’s so much easier as I have a teammate”. Well, for me at least, that just means you have that much less space on court to move around and to aim for when you hit your shots. And you have to become much more proficient with volleys, which I quickly did when I started playing. Luckily for me, I’m a good tennis player, but I tell you, it was quite the adjustment, and to this day, I’m still much more successful at singles. And this is unlike Jack Sock who is much more successful on the doubles circuit I believe.
Nadal in his early years played a lot of doubles excellently w the same high winning percentage and credit to him for helping win Davies Cup, check your files 😊
@@k5byyernevilos914 when you play a lot, you can only get better. He didn’t play a lot of doubles to win grand slam. He concentrate on singles to get better at singles. I doubt if he gets the same result had he switched playing doubles. Do doubt he will be competitive. But getting in sync with your partner is the biggest challenge in doubles which makes it tougher to beat the top 10 doubles team.
@@jrsantihe's an Olympic gold medalist in doubles. That is top tier. And that's him not even concentrating on doubles. He also won that during a two year period where he was playing the worst tennis of his career up till recently.
@@sjjapp olympic tennis competition is not the best tournament to measure the best. If you notice, the olympic gold medalists were not the most titled players. Their consistency is not well established.
@@jrsanti it's the next most important title after a slam. If Nadal had skipped just one season of his career in singles and took on a full doubles season, if he has a partner he clicks with, he's winning at least one slam, if not more. Lesser players than him have already done so. He's actually an excellent doubles player. It's widely established that he has some of the best skills at the net as well. But when you've been as great as Nadal has been in singles there's zero point in putting any effort into doubles. Sadly, doubles offers less money, less prestige and so on. I'd like to see doubles get some time in the spotlight so to speak, but currently this is how it is. So to an extent it's theory, on paper stuff, but I think you'd have to be pretty biased against Nadal or singles players in general to really push aside his chances. Interestingly, he reached the semis in doubles at the US Open in 2004. He hadn't even won a slam in singles yet. I could be mistaken, but hasn't he won 2 doubles masters titles as well? You can also point out guys like Sock and kyrgios who've won big in doubles. Edit: I'm not saying if the whole singles tour suddenly started up doubles full time that all doubles specialists would be pushed out. They wouldn't. Doubles absolutely is a tweaked environment that offers a slightly different set of challenges to singles. But many elite singles players do actually have skill sets that could adapt well to doubles. Nadal is one of those.
Rafa is at the top of the game in Singles and doubles. We are talking about a guy who has 11 Doubles titles, (3 Masters 1000 , gold medal)Just in doubles. Last guy of his generation to be this good in both disciplines. He has a different and larger legacy in the sport. Singles guy can’t win a title in doubles. You need a different skill set It’s all about narrative in tennis, not facts. How is someone this good in all disciplines not rated. He even has 5 Davis Cup titles.That’s the team side of tennis. It’s not football.ITs TENNIS. He has a brilliant career. You won’t hear any of that. Since Sampras there’s a fixation with GS It’s all about what commentators want us to hear, even tell us to think. It’s best to look up the information for yourself. We can’t be fooled anymore.😊
@@pato20995 True, that’s why Novak has 1 doubles title(250 level) in 20 years of playing at the ATP. Skill set to play doubles is not easy. It requires effort, u have to be quick, crafty and tactical. See my stories are colorful, specific with details. Yours not so much. Mine are in the history books. Yours are of your own imagination , not yet published, clownery :))
Nadal, Federer, and Murray were all pretty great doubles players with Nadal being the best. I still think a lot of top 10 singles players would do great in doubles. Alcaraz would be lethal, Tiafoe would be pretty good as well. Djokovic is good too. Granted right now we have a top 10 full of bad net players, but I don’t agree that a top singles player can’t dominate doubles.
Great doubles play. Fastest hands in the West. I wish they would show more of the doubles matches. Totally different game than singles. Thanks for posting.
@@rickyortiz3252 doesn't change he had all the time in the world to put it away but some reason hit centre court when one guys already there and the other is moving that way
I hate playing with people who play like this whenever I am playing against people like this I ether try and lob over or I drill a hole though them is they are good they would block the drill attempt but if they aren’t good then they just get hit
you have to aim very accurately to hit past them and that will likely lead to the ball going out and wasting points. and good players have good movement at the net so they can likely get to it too
Oh Raffi Ahmad kemaren pas lagi lagi tennis ngikutin gaya main yg baju merah ini, abis service langsung cepet2 ke depan net.

If only the men got actually paid for the amount of effort and time they're on the court instead of half the money going to the women's game maybe the men could also play singles and doubles in the majors.... What a scam...
Not how it works, they’re paid on how much money they make through ticket revenue and advertisement sales. The women get what they get through that and so do the men and so do the doubles
@@turntech4776 I see, so when ticket revenue for the ladies total $2 million and the prize money total is $3 million, that $1 million plus expenses and everything else just materializes out of thin air, got it... Just like the government printing money, that's how the wta works too.... Thanks for the elucidation... Question, have you ever counted how many people attend women's doubles matches? Either you have no clue on that number or you have some other agenda here or just bad math.

Jack Sock is impeccable doubles player 🔥

It’s one of the worst feelings when your partner does all the effort, a great point ensues and then you mess up on an easy ball lol
People aren’t acting like Nadal made the rally the way it was?
Meaningless comment. Nada only put hard work and he only missed it. Nothing to loose
Nadal is 2016 gold medallist at Rio olympics along with Marc lopez. 😁
@@raghav_m23
loose = not firmly or tightly fixed in place
lose = the opposite of win
idk about you but i saw rafa starting off that rally with three slams harder than jesus when he found out judas betrayed him.
Even the man with best forehand shots couldn't break the jack sock barrier
Simply "Superb"
Nice shots play against Nadan
Nadal.
It's the reflexes that are amazing. Always get your racket out, you never know what might happen?
Greatest moment of all time 4 legends are playing
Espero con ansias y alegría este torneo tan especial
すげー、テニス
That’s when he decided he was built to play Pickleball doubles
Those volleys are so damn satisfying
And the ignorant me thought i have seen it all in tennis.😮😮😮😮
This is some crazy ass tennis freedom the Reds
It let's me know I am human when I see a $$million dollar player mess up.

What did he expect? He was hitting it back to him everytime

There's a singles and a doubles variation, as well as a mixed doubles variation when the two teammates are of the opposite sexes.
ストレートを使え
oh that happens to anyone I see 😂
With both reds up on the net, why wouldn’t the reds lob the ball?
Rafa actually had chance to
hit winner but he actually playing around.

Is that sinner or Berdych with Nadal? Damn now that I think of it..sinner and Berdych are so similar!
Tennis VS Badminton
Doubles game is trash. They don't hit the right areas. Keeps hitting at one of the opponents. Straight to them always
Defend that and I doubt your face would be the same as it is now 😂😂
you have to aim very accurately to hit past them and that will likely lead to the ball going out and wasting points. and good players have good movement at the net so they can likely get to it too
These are literally primarily singles playing doubles 😂
Not skilled enough for pickleball I see? Man up and trade the rackets for paddles.

lob
