Alex Corretja's Incredible EMOTIONAL Reaction to Nadal's Win! | Eurosport Tennis 

The reason why Alex was so emotional is because he used to be a professional tennis player and actually played along with Rafa when he was just starting as a pro as a 16 year old. Alex also used to play with Carlos Moya, which has been Rafa's coach for the past several years. They all know each other very well.

I genuinely cried after the last point, not because Rafa has won 21st Grand Slam, not because he has more titles than Novak or whatever....it's because i know the time where i won't be able to see this man inspire me through his tennis is coming To me, you will always be the Greatest athlete Rafael Nadal!

It is the first time I ever cry for a tennis match. What a Champ, what a man, what a role model Rafa.

"before comentator I'm a human being, and this is absolutely undescribable, what Nadal has done is really unbelievable", says Alex more or less.

Rafa is for me one of the greatest sportsmen who ever lived (top 5 probably!). His talent, hard work, resilience + his incredible humility and great heart!! That’s so much I am ready to forgive his butt scratches and 24 seconds services…such a legend!!!

What a great person , the pride of Spain 🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦

Don Rafael Nadal It is for the Spaniards as our brother, our son, our best friend. He has always given us so much joy... But what he did the other day transcends sports, it was pure ecstasy. Y en RG 2022 serán 22, alguien lo duda?

Gran deportista y mejor persona. Rafaaaaaaaaaa, el mejor de la historia.

This match reminded me the movie where Rocky Balboa fought against Ivan Drago. No chance to win whatsoever and somehow little by little point after point he was able to defeat the Russian just by never giving up and having faith in his possibilities to win. Rafa Nadal is the real Rocky Balboa. A man whose passion moves mountains. A truly gladiator. He’s the GOAT no matter what happens in the future. One day we’ll say to the future generations: I saw that final and it was absolutely amazing. Thank you Rafa and kudos on your 21st grand slam.

The commentators show two very different reactions to strong emotions. One of them starts yelling praise, while the other is lost for words.

Hilarious! The commentator going crazy with his feet, yet being super professional. Love this

This Win is Even Superior To Some Movies!

Bravo Rafa 👏👏👏 nunca has dado un partido por perdido!! Por eso eres grande y todo un gladiator 🏆💪💪

Rafa is a great men, a master, a king and a great charakter. He have that certain spirit of a fighter wis great mental strengh witch will be a inspiration for everyone and forever. Congratiolations rafa. We love you.

The greatest sport feat ever.

Esto es lo que transmite Nadal en la vida

Corretja es un grande del deporte. Cómo lo vive y cómo se alegra... Recuerdo cómo saltó la red para felicitar a Moyá en la final de RG hace años. Eso sólo lo hace un grande: perder la final y saltar corriendo a felicitar a su amigo. Gran deportista, mejor personas. Qué auténtico eres, tienes todos mis respetos y la mayor de mis admiraciones, ojalá conocerte y estrecharte la mano añgún día

There’s no description for this man… he is beyond everything ! The best athlete in the history by far. What he have done in this final is inhuman, insane !

I have been a tennis player for 35 years. When I was 15 years old I had two knee operations and the surgeon told me that I couldn't continue playing tennis. I ignored him and put all my effort into improving myself. Rafa has had a serious physical problem with his feet since he was 17 (look for information), which would normally have been to stop practicing her sport. It is an exceptional case of physical and metal overcoming. His motivation is infinite like the stars. His spirit on and off the slopes is exceptional (I remember the serious flooding of his Manacor on the island of Mallorca where he helped as a neighbor to remove the water and mud from the houses). As a secondary school teacher (of ethics) he is an example for all young people, and not so young. My tears of joy (not as a Spaniard and Catalan, but as an athlete that I am) are of enormous gratitude for your effort and superhuman example, especially in these difficult times of the Covid pandemic. Rafael, you are the greatest.

Now That's the way of a "real" champion. The most humble and greatest of them all.

Grande rafa orgullo mallorquin enhorabuena rafa españa te quiere

Rafa is just a good player 👍💪🤝👏 Vamoooossss Rafa, more slams to come 🤞

Gladiator!!!👏👏👏

Nadal orgullo españòl felicidades campeon

Never cried like that after Kuerten and Moya

Nadal eres el mejor. Punto

Corretja was in my top 3 favorite players (Agassi and Rafter) and after he retired I haven't really seen him and now it is a bit shocking to see him older.

Mevdevev has been left shattered, his interview shows how much he is touchè after losing facing the absolute greatness in Nadal's victorious comeback!

Grande Rafa 💪😍👑

INCREIBLEBLE! 😎

My wife was angry because I was crying when he won this match, but didnt shed a tear at our wedding. I cried for him because everybody knows how hard he fights and suffers for this sport for decades now and this win was so well deserved and also till the last moment not certain. It was unbelievable to watch and be part of this moment....and I was very happy at my wedding but in comparison to this match I knew what the outcome will be...:D

Estoi enamorado de rafa t quiero y no soy gay

barbara schett and alex coretja both shed tears

me encanta ver el tennis con ellos

There is something called History. This is far beyond

Rafa legend,titan and the whole words to describe epic.💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🇪🇦

Has being very emotional in all the country and in probably every place where tenis is supported,.. first time a player wins 21 grand slams, the way in this heroic match, etc..,

I felt like Corretja. Nadal is special. He looks like a mythological hero.

BIG, VERY BIG..., THE BIGGEST!

Grande alex

Fun fact: Alex has a positive H2H record against both Nadal and Federer!

Nadal is the GOAT!!!! He showed that after he came back from his injury!

Epic Nadal @ 21 vamos

I don't get why some of Nole's fans are reacting like they're doing. If he's the best player ever, he'll win more grand slams than Rafa by the end of his career. But why people can't just rejoice for someone and are always minimising his achievement?

Grande Alex

Shocking

Nadal the best

rafa nadal win-the greatest comeback since lazarus

GOAT

It would have been sweet if Federer was the one to give him the trophy

In Spain we describe what Rafa does as "padrear". Nadal padrea because he is "padre"

Grande rafa

🔜🔜22 GS Nole

😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

😍😭😭😭😭😭

Who here is annoyed they didn't bet on Rafa to win when he lost the first two sets. The odds would have been so good

Very inspiring for any sport... Osaka ? Bouchard ?

You should have touraments only for your race.

No djokovic is not victory Real . But all credit to Nadal!

Vamos Dopador

totally worthless. The Champ didn´t play.

Let Djokovic play please. He won because Djokovic was not there maybe

KING OF DOOING,NO CONTROL,MAGIC TOILET,BRAVO GRANDE RAFA🦊🦊🦊🐍🐍🐍👏👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Rafa was pushed by AO, without Djoković in tournament his path was open. Yet, nearly 6 hours on court against young opponent is tremendous achievement.

You shouldn't rejoice too soon and I don't know why you rejoice so much because this Grand Slam doesn't have that much weight when the best tennis player in the world Nola didn't participate and that 21st Grand Slam Nadalov will always be in question and challenged in some way. But ok, rejoice a little more, because when Nole wins the 22nd Grand Slam by the end of her career, then you will all 😥

Its a bit cringy to talk about the GOAT stuff when Djokovic wasnt there under these circumstances.... I dont know how uncool you have to be to even care that much about this.

I dont get it why nadal Fans are so happy the world number 1 is derported and they act like they won 4 Grand Slam in a row pathetic🙌🏻
