2008 Wimbledon Final Documentary: Federer Vs Nadal. BEST match ever (Part 2) 

I’m really tired of people (like in this movie) saying Nadal only has strength and stamina going for him. You don’t win 19 majors and have a winning record against Federer unless your a talented shot maker and smart as hell. Just cause he grunts loud doesn’t mean he lacks touch or control of the ball. History will decide but he is the savior of tennis for me. Before Nadal it was only Roger crushing his opponents without a challenger.

You root for the underdog, then the underdog begins kicking the crap out of the champion, so the champion becomes the underdog, so you pull for him, and on and on it goes, it's impossible not to like both of these guys. Just brilliant. From a huge Jimmy Connors fan.✌️

im crying watching this. Two the best of all times. so pround to lived in this time.

Who edited this and thought, “ yeah we will just keep parts in French with no subtitles “

To quote from the movie Troy: If they ever tell my story let them say that I watched giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of Nadal, master of clay. Let them say I lived in the time of Federer.

It is a non intelligent mistake believing FEDERER does not put a ton of effort, or that NADAL does not have talent, finesse, intelligence or the strategic mind of a chess player. If you do think that you will be missing 90% of what make them truly great and sticking to what you want to see which is a very limited part of reality. They both put a ton of effort, a ton of passion and are as competitive and as tenacious as one can be but they just express it differently. They both are extreme virtuosos but they transpire it in a different fashion. It is like comparing two Black Belts from different martial arts. Yes they are completely different, but there are tons of qualities both have to have in order to be Black Belts. The way you hear some people talk about NADAL would have you believe he is a pile of muscles and emotions with a racket on his hand puffing from his nostrils like an animal, unintelligent, unrefined and out of control. This skewed perception is just a reflection on how limited intellectually one can be when breaking down what makes a player truly great in any sport.

If Nadal equals or betters Federer’s GS titles, he is for sure the GOAT of tennis without a doubt.

please upload part 3!! this should be of the public domain, it is good for the soul!!

Little Rafa was so nice and cute, same as now. His uncle Tony Nadal made me emotional. Such an amazing player and Coach

A beautiful composed documentary about one of the greatest match of all time, combined with inside information. We hear the players themselves, trainer coaches, parents, commentators, peers as well as historic footage, when they were kids. It gives you an understanding where the player comes from and what made him the champion he is today. A symphony of a documentary - you have to watch it, even when you are not into tennis.

Roger: "I never knew I had talent like this" Also Roger: *Became the junior tennis champion of Switzerland at 14*

What is crazy is that as of today(12 Oct 2020) Nadal already has 20 Gran Slams and matched the same grand Slams as Federer and they are 5 years apart in age.

I love this documentary because it exposes rafa at what he really was in realationship to roger. It was the first time roger was Really challenged at wimbledon. Rafa was like an opposite of roger plus playing skills that no one had seen before. Plus he could grind down any opponet! Please upload part 3. Amazing 2 part video! So cute seeing them both as kids playing tennis! VAMOS RAFA GOAT! 🐐

Best match ever.....love it!!!

6:37, Rafa is literally smoking

Thanks uncle toni

Hi Daniel, appreciate u sharing part 1 and 2. Watched it multiple times. I look forward to part 3 asap. Loved this match!

So you are telling me he discovered his weird amazing topspin by accident while facing Moya? 😂

It's a good documentary but i have a question, where is the third part?

The oratory prowess & skill @15:00 gave me goosebumbs.......high quality production giving us so much more valuable insight!

I like the subtextual lessons about life that this doc illustrates. I think part of Nadal's edge is due to the attitude he and his friend referenced. The problem with thinking you are the best is that, no matter how unbelievably talented you are, you are sure to meet trials that mess with that reality in your head and it's really embarrassing to start losing, getting behind, or having some off moments in a row, when you believe you are king. It messes with you, big time. But if you have the genuine belief that you aren't the best and are an ever-improving warrior of creative endeavor, this constancy (that is a bedrock for quality of performance) is able to be much more evenly maintained.

Please upload part 3 whenever you have time. It's a humble request

I don't understand the localization of this documentary. On one hand most text and also the subtitles are in English. But then some of the text is in Spanish. And then there is a guy speaking French and they don't add any subtitles. I don't understand.

Daniel, great job on both uploads. understand why part 3 is not there but wish it is. thanks for sharing again!!

Hell, why not make this a docuseries, with lots more episodes. Why not? This is still relevant 10 years later. Theyre still killing it. There needs to be more episodes. Please SOMEONE MAKES THIS HAPPEN. Maybe netflix will make one. With no shortage of garbage comic book movies and tv shows, theyre running out of ideas. Havent seen a good movie or a docuseries since 2014! I always have good ideas for shows and movies,but obviously producers cant, nowadays. It makes me feel like im smarter than producers, but that cant be possible, as im not the brightest crayon in the box. So, what am i missing? Sorry, my adhd always makes me switch topics. Ugh

Is there more to this than the 2 Parts you posted?

Needs French and Spanish subs. Great mini doc.

I don’t even watch tennis and remember this from my childhood.

is it me or did this documentary essentially skip the 4th and 5th sets?

¡¡¿Y el resto?!! Suban la tercera parte, por favor.

does someone know the name of the song at 1:22

I’m really tired of people just saying that Federer is talented and Nadal is just an athlete. Nadal’s biggest attribute for me is his brain and the way he constructs points. He varies his game so much based on who he plays, particularly his backhand. Physically, he has not been the same player since 2013/14. He completely changed his game in 2017 to be less physical and in that time since, he has won 8 grand slams and counting. That is more than legends like McEnroe and only Borg, Sampras and the big 3 have won more. This is in 6 years without physicality.

Thanks, but what about translating the French speakers as well?

it is fun that the way they tell this story it seems that federer win that match jejejejje... now just separated by only one grand slam it is fair to say that Nadal and Federer are equals, i personally think that the second item to count in de goat debate are the master 1000 titles... so Nadal is for me the best in history...

where is part 3?

Its October 2022 now and Federer just retired. I really want him to be the King of Grass for a long time!.... I also want Nadal to win more Wimbledons, and if that is the case he can stop Djokovic from winning another one, or else the latter would have broken Roger's record!

Very very good documentary so far, high production value and did the research. Few thoughts tho, having followed tennis at the time. Federer was Far from invincible in 2008, lost to young up & coming Nole in Australuan, absolutely demolished by Nadal at the French, and bunch of weird smaller tournament losses (was said that he had mono, maybe a factor, but also the up and comers were becoming stronger and hungrier as well). Still true he was the king of grass, but going down 2 sets fairly quickly to Nadal, couldn't help but think Fed doesn't stand a chance. Rain delay definitely seemed to help level the match to some degree. Sure there was the comeback, the 4th set tiebreak speaks for itself. Iconic match finishing in the darkness with a new very deserving (& up to then seen as fairly unlikely, on this surface, altho arguably 07 wimbledon final intense 5 setter proved he Could win it all) champ, still from a strictly quality of tennis / competition standpoint, it was a fairly run of the mill Federer Nadal match with a few amazing shots here and there. But don't get me wrong, Federer Nadal matches were almost always a treat and then some, so much unpredictability & contrast of styles, the ultimate battle of champions. We were spoiled to experience this rivalry for so many years, and I'd be amazed if anything close comes along to resemble it in 10 years or so

Modern Federer looks like Jamie Tartt 🤣🤣

If only there were English translated subtitles for the French coach!

Why do they speak as though nadal was born to beat federer, it takes away a lot from his own individual identity

Cooomon Nole...

Why are so many people hooked on a sport that they cannot even see the ball being played , just the occasional sound. Or is the truth about being seen at an event above the event itself. Center court attendees pay more for an outfit to be "seen" by the occasional camera than the court ticket price by a long way. A sad state of the history of a common sport dont you think.

I saw that match with Sampras and from that day I knew Roger will be Biiiiiiiggg💪👌👌👌and I was right!

41:13 so why are they all in the same box?

spanish subtitles could be better

6.37 is he smoking?

If Nadal never played how many more slams would roger have won? If Novak never played how many slams would rafa have won?

32:00 ''He was losing matches he should have won'' . Yeah no shit ....

Regular tennisman asked god for a revenge from Federer ,so god send nadal

if Federer is a talented and genius like Messi, then Nadal is the Ronaldo of Tennis

13:31 was Zidane????🧐🤨

Best match ever.... until Djokovic and Federer played the Wimbledon 2019 final

Wimbledon 19 and 08 final A french open final 2009 australion open final These four final he was bit unlucky to be at the recieving end

Here is the complete documentary ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0owAj1S0hxU.html

Nadal is a big champion but clearly Federer push him in the best...and Nadal become is egal...but if Nadal was not so good...Federer win 3 or 4 Rolland-Garros And not to forget that the grass in Wimbledon was more slow at that time...more easy for Nadal

Frauderer is only Novak and Rafa's puppet.

I truly don’t understand this documentary. The titles are in Spanish and rafa is given English subtitles. Federer speaks in English. But the journalist speaks in French with no subtitles. Yet pascal Maria who is French, speaks an English. So what the fuck is going on?

Terrible video quality.never again

no. 1980 Borg against MacEnroe was het best ever. Because they were not boring like Federer and Nadal are

Wimbledon 19 and 08 final A french open final 2009 australion open final These four final he was bit unlucky to be at the recieving end
