Rafael Nadal: Idol For His Country (Olympics 2008) 

2008, Nadal came here just when his 34 winning streak ended in Cincy, but his season was being out of this world. Enjoy the best points of Rafa's first Olympics! (sorry for the quality, it's the only footage I found). Like & Subscribe for more Tennis content! Twitter: twitter.com/sLlorcaTennis

Probably the greatest ever in terms of representing his own country. Davis Cup, ATP Cup, Olympics; it's just crazy to think how much he's done.

Rafa never gives up. He chase every ball down whether it be in youth or in the horizon of his career. He is just the best. Nadal Is My Champion!

The greatest player of all time in tennis history ❤

He is the best tenis player ever.

My King of tennis Lovee

1:20 What a point, can't believe I've never seen it before also 12:22 One of the nastiest slices I've ever seen

1:23 absolute crime I’ve never seen this point before. Rafa has so many highlights it’s hard to keep track… his best point ever may be one we havent even seen

The Spanish queen is either a great fan of tennis or a great fan of her country's son RafaNadal... she is there in many of his finals... good for him... so good to see those interview snippets - never found any of the 2008 beijing interviews in youtube or anywhere else - the one after djokovich semifinal is amazing - shows how much national honor matters to Rafa - he was trying hard not to cry... the interviewing girl told him not to cry... that she would cry if he did...great kid Rafa

Mon légendaire du tennis...🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🏆

That summer in 2008 was really great for him

Rafa teson, humanidad, sencillez, humildad, gran jugador mi idolo

My favorite player in Tennis (My King)

he was so fast with a blast

not only in the court but even in social media ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@SJ says 1:23 is a shot he has never seen and that who knows? We may have not yet seen his greatest shot!” My reply: Maybe we’ll see it on this channel. sLorca dug these interviews out of the cobwebs. So much fun to watch his brilliant thinking as he returns all the balls to the precisely perfect spots and then throws his magnificent body into the air with such powerful leaps. I never get over being thrilled watching and rewatching this marvel of human strength melded together with his boyish smile and heart of humility. It’s hard to imagine we will ever have another like him with such a combination of attributes.

How I wish Rafa was still so confident and fearless. Those are the gifts of youth, which slowly get eroded, when you have a long career at the top. But wonderful to see peak Rafa again!

yes and yes and yes !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

king Rafa the most loved athlete ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Increíble Nacho Calvo, ha narrado con 1000 veces más pasión el bronce de Carreño que el oro de Nadal.

Even the Queen of Spain was there
