I watched the 2012 final for 6 hours as a die hard Nadal fan... I was crushed 2014-- Disappointed 2017- Heartbroken 2019- shellshocked 2022-- Rafa Made the dream come true !!
Rafael. I'm from a small country called Sri Lanka. I'm one of your greatest fans. When you play, I get so nervous, but after you win, I watch the repeats over and over and over again. Thank you for your humility , kindness, sincerity. May God bless you and keep you free from injuries. We all love you dearly Rafael. 🙏🙏🙏❤❤💐
I am from Bangkok, Thailand. I do the same like you do. Nadal is my inspiration. Every time he gets big success, I always cry with him. I don't know why?
There will be a lot of arguments of who the tennnis GOAT is. For me i truly believe that it is rafa the way he plays the game, the manner that he represents tennis to the world, the 21 grand slams and counting, the way fans loved him not just for his tennis but his whole persona. But above all these achievements, he stays humble. He is humble amidst all the great things he has done for tennis and his life. God raises those who humbles themselves. Congratulations rafa and thank you for inspiring a lot of people. God bless always.
The only reason i feel Rafa is the goat is cuz obviously hes had to deal with this chronic foot disease over his entire career!! Nobody truly knows except Rafa what % hes playing at when he laces up his shoes. Quite EVIDENT he was at close to 90 to 100% at AO 2022. His movement gives it away!! He was moving around court amazingly!! And coulda play for 6 hrs!! If he wanted to in the finals. He def wasnt moving like that last yr , hence why he threw in the towel after RG. U cant beat the top men at 75%. U cant . Impossible. So ya. Rafa over the course of his career obviously rarely played at 100% healthy. And when he does??? Holy cow. Its like night and day. Not taking anything away from Nole!! But if Rafa is 100% healthy, lets see what cudda been last yr in the semis RG. Or quarters AO. The key is to look and see how well Rafa is moving around court. AO2022 it was like watching a 25 yr old Rafa!!! Meds is 25!!! And he said after the match, Rafa?? Are u tired?? Lol. If Rafa played at 100% for 3/4 of his career, i personally feel the numbers wud be totally different...but thats my own opinion. But at the same time, its his way of playing the game that chances are causes it. He plays a very physical game of tennis therefore it is his own doin. But ya... a 100% healthy Rafa who knows what his GSs count wud be in all honesty. A bit more than 21, thats my guess
Yes, I absolutely agree with you. Rafa makes a tennis match enjoyable to watch with his amazing shot-making and superb fighting spirit. He makes his opponents worth to play because he respects them regardless of their ranking. He never looks down on them and always gives them credit, whether he wins or loses. He is such a humble and down-to-earth man.
I'm 59 years old and Ive seen so many great efforts in sport. Rafa Nadal defines GREATNESS. Thank you to Uncle Tony, thank you to the Nadal family, thank you Danlil Medvedev, thank you to the Nadal Team and thank you to Australia and the fans who sat in Rod Laver Arena and helped energize this man and helped him reach the finish line. Thank you for producing and uploading this video BTFGAME. MY gosh what an achievement...I'm still blown away....freaking UNBELIEVEABLE. BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO !
The great thing about tennis is you can't rest on your laurel's. You still have to win that final set or final game for victory you can't just hang on or run the clock down. Rafa is so difficult to beat over 5 sets even at 35.
Can't rely on a teammate, can't run out the clock...EXACTLY RIGHT he has to work so hard...superhuman. The drama between Struggle and Triumph with Rafa...I feel like I live and die with each point when I watch him. No one else makes me feel like that.
The greatest match I have watched ever, the AO 2022 Finals where Nadal won over Medvedev in a come-from-behind stance - gut-wrenching, brutal, empowering, inspiring, and most of all, legendary. GS#21 for the GOAT and Champion ON and OFF the COURT!
The fact that Rafa doesn't have a good serve elevates him even higher. Many strong players rely on a good portion of their points coming from aces which spare them from physical exhaustion while psychologically damaging the opponent, who literally has no chance of answering. Rafa doesn't have this advantage. Almost every point he wins is earned with sweat and sheer willpower to outlast his opponent's strength and endurance. The fact that he continues to do so at almost 36 years of age is nothing short of extraordinary.
That's not true. You don't win two times at Wimbledon with a bad serve, not even Nadal. You don't had +500w on hard, with a bad serve. You don't win six times in Melbourne & NY with a bad serve. At the end of the day, the numbers don't lie if we talking about stats and tennis. Rafa's first serve is decent. Sometimes great, sometimes a litle bit stuck. Rafa's second serve, it's a weapon. One of the best second serves off all times. Same thing happen with his volley. Many people keep saying that's not a great volley. Roger Federer doesn't believe that. "Talking about playing around the net, I guess his tricks are better than mine". But you know, so many years of false narrative about Rafa, some kind of Mowgly from the jungle book, running and fighting against the evil snakes and their tennis skills...🤣 big bs. But it's part of the plan designed by his uncle. Be humble, keep focus, destroy your rivals. Nothing else matters, the glory, glamour, compliments...it doesn't matter. Winning matters. Win yourself, above all.
@@aha3885 For what ever reason, against Fed, Novak, others in top form, Wawrinka....Rafa doesnt get as many free points is all im sayin. Of course Rafa has quality of serve.
Congratulations, Rafael Nadal, the greatest of all time, clinching GS#21. What a come-from-behind win. Truly amazing, epic and dramatic. What a thrilling win, actually.
This is a fairy tale witnessed by people who love the GOOD in humanity. Long live the Nadal Family. What tremendous good influence you all gifted the world. THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU ALL. Signed: 59 yr old Rafa Nadal fan Jacksonville, Florida. Father of two young male athletes.
This is the craziest grand slam victory I've ever witnessed. Glitch in the matrix.

I have seen a Phelps, a Bolt, the Olympic Games, athletics, swimming, basketball, NBA, World Cups, tennis - Federer and Djokovic too - , soccer, handball, Europeans of various things, Davis Cup, motorcycles, f1, futsal, cycling (tours). What I have seen in this game, I have never seen such an outrage. He made the impossible come true.
Insane video - managed to capture his stupefying quest in under 7 minutes. One that will only grow in stature as times goes by to mythical proportions. Well done, fantastic job. There's Can't and then there's Nadal.
What a great advantage ND has over Federer and Nadal playing 50% of all GS on his favorite hard courts. Imagine Nadal playing 50% of GS on his favorite clay, he would have added so many GS to his 13 Roland Garros. Nadal would be at least with 30 GSlams and Novak with less than 20. The same can be said about Federer had he been playing 50% on grass adding to his favorite Wimbledon grass court. So ND is having a very unfair advantage over the other two greats and makes it even more impressive the feat of Nadal reaching 21 GS or Federer 20 facing that huge disadvantage over ND.
Nadal's ultimate comeback- so satisfying to see him with the AO trophy in hand again- it was a beautiful moment when he won match point! Keep vamosing in 2022, Rafa!
What a great video. What a great way to describe and appreciate such a great athlete. Miracle? Luck? Well, we cannot deny the existence of both but in Nadal's case, reflecting and looking throughout his tennis career, his success mainly comes from his hardwork. Yet, his success, wealth, fame and superiority do not change him. He stays humble and down to earth. That's why he is adored and loved by many sports fans all around the world.
Ditto, will savor this win and appreciate what he went through to achieve this forever. Truly special achievement by him, not just for reaching #21 but also for exorcising the ghosts of the last four finals. Beyond belief. No sports film script can come close
We do ALL realize...none of the BIG THREE reach the level they reached WITHOUT ALL 3 right ? Murray doesn't get to his level without them...right? The Age old Law of Nature That...that does not kill you, makes you stronger. 2012 AO, I wasn't sure somebody wasn't going to die in that one. I witnessed the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team defeat the Russians...Rafa Nadals victory in the 2022 AO is the closest event that made me feel some kinda way to that event.
The Heart Of A Champion. My family have enjoyed his hospitality in our home for many years. Vamos Rafa. The King Of Clay Record, will be so Hard to Emulate unless you Acquire the same Qualities as Rafa. So good luck to the next King Of Clay. Heaps of Love Rafa Nadel.
The great champion 💪 #Awesome Inside & Outside the court spells a true gentlemen. To us your fans all over the world we proud of you in the way you conduct yourself.
They are buddies since many years, Corretja coached Rafa in the Davis Cup during three seasons. And Corretja&Moya were the great thing in spanish tennis 25 years ago. The three guys have a lot of memories together, and Alex is a very emotional guy. He loves Rafa, and this victory touched him very deeply.
I believe he is the greatest sportsman, competitor Ive ever seen...EVER. In my mind, hes the GOAT of any and all athletes. Beyond comparison, he stands alone at the summit. YOU ARE THE BEST RAFA...THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE JOY YOU BRING TO MINE AND SO MANY HEARTS. THANK YOU.
@@Mlasse954 there is no goat. You can’t compare players over a span of eras. A 25 year old Rafa never played a 25 year old Laver, Bjork, Federer, Djokovic, Sampras. Different eras. Different players. Different circumstances.
I’m watching this video with so much emotion and love for that Spanish Bull from Mallorca! I STILL can’t believe he won that match, even though he does unbelievable things all the time! He won AO22 because he can persevere thru so much adversity. Uncle Toni instilled a vision in Rafa - to have a warrior’s mentality and to endure! IMHO, that’s one thing that separates him from the other 2 Goats and makes him truly SPECIAL! As long as he can walk, RAFA WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING!!!!! He sets a fantastic example for everyone to live by! #VAMOSKINGRAFA💪🏽🇪🇸🔥👑🏆♥️
Uncle Tony is great and all, but I literally went through the same training as Nadal did when I got married. after 10 years of suffering, now my mentality is so strong I can confidently say that I can put up with pretty much everything.
@@kaisalkaisal6303 he won against an injured Nadal in 2021 and severely out of form Nadal in 2015 in RG .. every one knows that ...where as he beat peak Djokovic in us open final twice...2010 and 2013 in Djokovic fav hard court
Watching Rafael win this one, was like when I watched Ronda Rousy getting KO'd by Holly Holm or when watching Conor McGregor being submitted by Khabib Nurmagomedov. Very fun, exciting and relieving times.
Federer, in what was (for now) the most important match of his career (W 2019), came close to the win, without realizing it. Djokovic, in what was (for now) the most important match of his career (US Open 2021), could not withstand the pressure. Rafa, in the most important match of his career, was failing, was playing badly, was clearly inferior to his opponent, but then he refused the defeat, he reacted, and wrote the most glorious chapter in the history of tennis.
rafa said the tennis balls played much faster in 2022. That and Novaks absence helped him. But he was fortunate in the quarters and the final too. it was destined.
With a little help of Australian government ( Corona positiva, Novak out, daylight games, media spectators preparation...) Pull yellow, sniff, spread across the face, serve... Blood replacement treatment etc...
great video abortus Pa Gde je Novak Djokovic ? deportovan Djokovic zbog kobajagi covida da bi rafa pobedio IMA na RU-vid video 1936 kako je Hitler organizovao olimpijadu a ovo sada australijan open 2022 nije to
Sadly Nadal Federer wasnt there in majority grandlslams where nole won after 2015 becoz Nadal is majorly injured and fed is aged , sadly nole couldn't win the Olympic ANY medal even without fed nad and thiem , sad to say that nole won against nad in French only becoz he was injured that he said in the interview and then took 6 months gap , sad to say nole lost to Medvedev STRAIGHT SETS IN US OPEN FINAL , the one who was about to win against nad too , but nad turned it around, sadly u haven't seen much tennis teenager shit 🤝
Si Djokovic fuese la mitad de buena persona que Nadal se hubiese puesto la vacuna como hace cualquiera que se preocupa por lo demas.. toda la culpa es suya. Curiosamente no dices nada de que muchos de los Grand Slam de Djokovic hayan sido sin Nadal / Ferrer. Anda vete a tu casa a llorar niño..
@@phychemat5034 sadly djokovic beat nadal 30 times(probably was injured). Sadly Nole has 150 weeks more at#1. Sadly Nole won more masters1000.sadly Nole won 5 Nitto atp finals nadal zero.Sadly Nole finished 7 years at#1 nadal 5.sadly HtH 30:28. Luckily nadal has 21 GS goat wasn’t there.
@@monicac8823 sadly nole is number 1 with majorly no nadal fed, only murray, sadly nole didn't have the guts to beat nadal until 2013-2014 becoz nadal was god mode, saldy u didn't see thay coz u didn't see that much tennis or else.... He won soo much that even after 2015 when nadal went down, h2h is still 28-30, and also i know i am talking to a kid when the kid starts talking about a fucking h2h when i coukd have answered with "krygios is unheated against nole", but i didn't coz i aint at ur maturity level dude, ugh this teenage sick nole fans are just soo funny to talk, almost like a kid started talking, grow up dude no need to reply back ✌️
@@monicac8823 But the fact that measures the great in tennis the number of GS. The others are less important. No one remembers how many titles you get but only GS. Jimmy Connor is the most titles achievement but it is meaningless. Novak and his FC are poor attitude.
The only reason rafa won was because djokovic wasn’t there that’s to bad rafa is a great player but when he does not get his was he cry’s like a baby he is a pain in the ass to watch with all his corks and he does get a way with a lot so it is on you you know and what your last name is before the umpire will say anything they have there favorites but he does get away with a lot maybe they are scared of him
Did djokovic win us open last year there's no Nadal no Federer what makes you think he'll win this year Australia open. By the way last year when he beat Nadal at the French Nadal had foot injury. For your info Nadal has never been beaten by next Gen so you can cry for djokovic for not getting 21 first lol
