I am a fan but I would say Micheal Phelps or Eddy Merckx for individual sports (even cycling is a team sport with individual winners). Its difficult to mention Nadal without Djoko or Federer that are comparable in terme of legend. Phelps or Merckx outrageously dominated their sports over their active years against. Their is no debate on who is the greatest in their own sports.
Federer hasn't reached RG final since 2011. Nadal hasn't reached Wimbledon final since 2011. In the meantime (2012-2022) Djokovic has reached at least 6 finals at each of 4 Slams. #AgeOfNovak
Rafa’s game especially between 2010-13 was so good that you can put every single point he won as the best points of the decade , greatest sportsman ever ❤️❤️
Man each point he plays, regardless of the score, he’s behind or ahead, he plays it as if his life depends on it, and thats whats special about Rafa, he always gives everything he can!! Goat
So difficult really to select his best points in a decade. The way he plays each point, he creates a masterpiece. Fabulous video with great music in the background. Rafa..the best
GENTLEMAN + WARRIOR + PATRIOT + HERO = RAFA NADAL. RAFA, YOUR ARE THE TRUE SPANISH PRIDE !!!. GOD BLESS YOU FOREVER !!!. FROM PRINCIPALITY OF ASTURIAS... ALL MY ADMIRATION, RESPECT AND DEVOTION !!!.
Amazing video! The 2010s we're great for Rafa and he's still going strong in 2020! He's #1! PS = I was at the 2019 US Open during his 4th match vs. Cilic! We couldn't believe he made that shot and the stadium went crazy! VAMOS RAFA!❤️😀💪🎾
Nadal es infinito, seguro el mejor deportista español, por no decir mas , de todos los tiempos y por si fuera poco , con cabeza. El mejor ejemplo como persona y deportista. Una barbaridad de superación. GRACIAS RAFA ¡¡¡¡
The dramatic music gave me goosebumps from the start and had me tearing up towards the end. It's frankly humbling to see Rafa give 100% effort in every single point, from start to finish, regardless of the score. Whether in the first game of a match or at match point, he always gives his all and it truly is a wonder to behold such commitment and belief in a professional sportsman. Again, he's such an inspiration. Well done!
Thank you! What an absolute treat! The next decade will not be anywhere close to this. We know that. But I hope it has something great in store for us all. Vamos!!
I have got to say you perfectly captured what it is that makes Rafa Rafa, and we hardcore Rafa supporters love him as we do; with pictures and music you did that.
I think this is the best compilation of points by Nadal that I've had the pleasure to stumble across on RU-vid. The quality of video is remarkable and the music background simply on point. Great job.
The synonym for transcendence is Rafa. Just to be clear that transcendence is not in the category of superlatives. Transcendence is the dissolution of thought that attempts to describe. It is prior to and beyond every description. Rafa is not superhuman. On the contrary, he is fully human - he fully embraces suffering, he fully breathes self-doubt, he fully respects each and every player, each and every human being across the planet, he fully respects every tennis 🎾 racquet if he's not smashed a single one, he fully loves Real Madrid, he fully respects Roger and Novak, he fully loves humanity. Transcendence when lived is humility, humility, humility. Rafa!
I never get tired of watching Rafa. Everything he does is spectacular. You know he's going to make it no matter how difficult the shot. What a modern phenomenon he is . I doubt if we'll ever see anything like this again .. all the magic moments .. the heartstopping points that he saved
There is literally nothing like watching Nadal and Federer play each other. The highest level of tennis ever. It’s incredible. I miss that so much. I also really miss watching a healthy Nadal play tennis 😢
Fantastic compilation! 6:59 is my favourite one! The way Rafa left Roger floundering for the ball! (I love Roger too btw) 12:04 looks like they're playing on Mars!
Rafa is the King of all courts - undisputed GOAT in tennis. GS win ratio among the Big 3 - Rafa's HC wins - 55% of Roger, 50% of Novak. Grass - 25% of Roger, 29% of Novak. Clay - Roger is 7% of Rafa, Novak is 14% of Rafa. Rafa's dominance on clay will probably never be surpassed in tennis history. Roger's and Novak's records on the other surfaces are very good but I wouldn't call them dominant if you compare them to the records of past tennis greats!
No one can master this master. He bested my ultimate favorite Roger Federer and now I infinitely love and respect this man to bits for his immense skill. There will only be one Roger Federer, there will only be one Rafael Nadal, there will only be one Novak Djokovic.
Whatta wonderful cluster, a compelling compilation! So superb is its construction that you can feel the meticulousness throughout. Especially when it comes to continuing the bliss pertained in specifically skillfull and punctual points. Relentless Rafa has been rightfully respected here... a few omissions withstanding, rew he shall not, as this is still outstanding.
Ce joueur est impressionnant. Même lorsqu'il est dominé dans l'échange, il ne renonce jamais et est capable de retourner la situation à son avantage par des coups défensifs sortis on ne sait d'où. Outre ses qualités physiques et techniques, c'est aussi cette combativité hors du commun qui fait sa force. Pour moi, Rafael Nadal est l'un des plus grands sportifs de tous les temps.
