When Did Nadal Start Wishing For 2 Clay Slams? 

In Serbia, we have a saying translated into English: If grandma had balls, she would be grandpa

Was going through Goatkovic withdrawal, watching the same videos every day. Thank you for the truth fix!

As Nadal said, if if if doesn’t exist.

Uncle Tony sculls a bottle of benzos every time your video comes out

That's why I respect Federer and Novak more than Nadal. They don't cry about the surface, they just keep playing and winning on any given surface. While Nadal crys about more clays cuz it's only surface he could beat prime Federer and Nole

Nadal fans think he would sweep both clay slams every year. But if that was the case more players would be competitive on clay because most tournaments would be on clay just like on hard court today.

The goat of providing receipts. Man you always come with the receipts!

Great video!!

This is why i can't stand Nadal, he goes on about how humble he is and how Novak is "obsessed" yet he always whines about things like only one clay slam, it's simply only cos he based his entire gameplay on clay and that's his own fault. in fact 75% of his masters titles are clay ones, 63% of grand slam titles are from the French Open and he still whines about the lack of clay surfaces!!! 😑

I no longer watch these videos for the Goat, I do it for the Goatkovic

4:16 o man just love djokovic smile..so graceful in defeat.. there is absolutely no one like him

You never disappoint, Goatkovic. I hit like before I even finish watching the video 😂

Even with just one gs on clay, nadal played more clay matches against Djokovic and Federer than other surfaces. And still, Djokovic leads in h2h. So Nadal can't complain about the lack of clay matches. It's balanced, and we get to see who truly is the best- Djokovic, baby.

All this coming from a guy who said "if if if doesn't exist" lol what a hypocrite nadal has become.

Another great video. The edited crying footage had me in stitches 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for this video. Nadal fans coming up with any and every excuse now as for why he is greater. It has become laughable. Luckily for us rational fans of the sport, this channel exists!

Thanks for the video and as usual, can't wait for the next one!

👍👍👌👌With this video you slamed the reality into faces of Nadals fans..😂😂 Well done!! ☝☝ Can't wait for your next "reality check"! 👍👍👏👏👏

Goatkovic, you are crushing Nadal with these videos. Djokovic is the best ever without discussion. Nadal clearly can't handle it.

Rafa these days has become a full pledged whiner. All i hear these days: My injured body My surface His obsession His frustration, his raquet smashes Our friendship (fedal) Wth is wrong with this guy? 🤷‍♂️ he was sane when roger was the goat but when he realized novak will become GOAT, something changed fundamentally. Warrior became the salty loser 😡💁‍♂️😌

Goatkovic undefeated

4:48 That is a CRAZY statistic, i think this is the first time ive ever heard of nadal only beating djokovic twice on non-clay after 2010, one of the craziest stats ive ever seen

Extraordinary video, which said the things all people know but all nadal’s fans (pretending) not know.

I wake up here in Chile, and there is a notification of a Goatkovic video. This is a good start.

Wasn’t there a time where all the slams other than RG were grass court simultaneously? Imagine if Djokovic (Federer even) had that luxury. Either way it’s not the reality of the era, and this hypothetical revisionism to try and diminish Djokovic’s success is truly sad.

Facts > Feelings!

I completed all my work for this week so that I could have time to watch and discuss this video; not only did it deliver, but I was also promised a sequel! When will that one be coming?

Djokovic will destroy nadal if he ever dare to comeback next year. Talk about "being obsessed", now he'll see what those words mean 😁😁 and I can't wait to see it.

You are a freakin genius!

Whenever someone starts complaining to change rules or the format of the sport, you know they do it because they are sore losers. But dont forget people!! Nadal is not "frustrated" or "obsessed"! He just plays (and complains) for the fun of the game... :P

My first time playing on clay was at a tennis camp when I was 13; it completely nullified my game and I hated it more than anything. I lost to players I would easily beat on hard courts, and those players somehow had the audacity to tell me that they were better than me because they beat me on clay and we barely played on that surface. But the reality is that 70 percent of tennis is played on hard courts (probably even more at amateur level), so being good on hard courts is more valuable than being good on clay. I told the other kids to shut up and deal with the fact that most of tennis is on hard courts, and they are nothing but cockroaches to me on that surface.

Ali mene bukvalno svaki put odusevljava kako im przis mozgove prostom logikom i cinjenicama 😆😂🤣

Well done Goatkovic on fantastic arguments. 👏

You sir are a savage. I’m a Novak fan but even I feel kinda bad for Rafa after some of your burns.

It’s fair that 2 GS are played on hard court bc hard court is the standard court in the world

The best player is the guy that adapts to the conditions the best. All three members of the big three knew fully well that the tour consisted of 1 grass and clay slam and 2 hard when they began their careers. The player who figured out a strategy to perform the best under these circumstances was always going to be the best player. Everyone of the big three had an equal opportunity to adapt their game to the modern structure of tennis; djokovic was the best at this, as simple as that. One cannot claim with a straight face that the composition is unfair when all three players had an equal opportunity to develop their games to match this composition. The rules of the game were set long before any of them became pros.

Wow great analysis!

Awesome review and investigation

Even in the period of 1975-1977 when there were 2 clay Slams, the US Open was played on green clay, a surface less slippery than red clay and with a bit more comfortable bounce. Nadal's record on that green clay wouldn't even be close to his one on red clay - he could barely win 1 match on non-red clay at the 2012 Madrid masters. History also proves so - Borg won the French Open 6 times but didn't win the US Open even once, despite being capable of winning Slams on red clay and grass between 1975-1977. As someone who lost to exactly 1 player in his career at the French Open, he should have dominated the green clay as well if it was played similar to red clay. The green clay is still in use for one of the WTA 500 tournaments in Charleston. Unlike the blue clay it turns to be safe and comfortable one. I think it would be a good idea to turn one of the 3 red clay Masters into a green clay Masters (maybe Madrid masters) and turn one of the outdoor hard court Masters into a grass Masters. As for the Slams there's no reason to change, the possible difference between 2 types of hard courts in terms of speed, height of the bounce and the affect of the environment is bigger than between 2 types of red clay.

Its safe to say Uncle Toni is not a Serbian in the crowd.

Nadal should wish the Earth was Mars.

I think after the 2019 AO Final, is when Nadal began to wish for another clay slam and avoided his rivals more often. Because before that, specifically, 2014-2016 he was losing his form. Then he had a bit of a resurgence if you want to call it that in 2017, and while he was losing to Federer and Djokovic in 2017-2018, it wasn't until the 2019 AO Final that he got absolutely obliterated in a major when healthy. It was that match that made him realise he could not compete with them outside of clay. Also, remember that he changed his game due to his age and did not even come close to competing with Novak in that match. Thus I think the 2019 AO Final is one of the biggest turning points in Nadal's career.

Djokovic does not only dominate hard courts but also grass hard courts, and after nadal he is also the best clay player

FINALLY, Thank you for dispelling this dumb argument

From 4:44, very powerful part of the video - thanks again for the good stuff GOAT

Nadal and his team wants 2 clay slams because they clearly knew that Nadal is loser on other surfaces ! Why don't Federer and Djokovic ask for 2 Grass slams ? ( not a single masters 1000 in grass tho) You have to play on what are there to be played...

Djokovic can also say that I want two grass majors and 3 masters on grass just like clay

Thanks you for this great videos.👌

Bro Always speak facts..not bullshit unlike others.. keep going bro..

Goatkovic dismantling the idiocracy one video at a time! You got to love it

Everything is Recorded ! 😂

If nadal really wants equality from the slams , he should be asking for an indoor slam

Lidocaine injections which eliminate any type of pain and give you strength, energy and speed... you can play ten hours of tennis with Lidocaine. Lidocaine is prohibited and registered as doping agent in equestrian sport. The horse riding trainer from Hungary said ones that if his horse used Lidocaine he would always be the first and so should not be surprising how Nadal won the last few of GS, remember RG and AO 2023 against Medvedev.. Tennis is ruled by Anglo-Saxon media propaganda, lies towards Novak and their politics. They just hate Novak and can't stand him being the GOAT. The tennis management will continue to do everything and try everything to get Nadal to reach Novak, even in an illegal way. When Novak ends his career we will find out everything about the disparagement and humiliation of him by ATP.. How many times have you seen groups of fans provoke him during a match, without being kicked out of the stands, Fed 's fans especially... One and only Novak! Genius! Timeless personality! Cosmos! Mental Giant Human Giant Tennis Goat 24!!

After a year of crying, Nadal will no doubt be putting in his easy draw request for AO 2024. But with Novak looking strong I'm sure we'll see another disastrous Nadal injury appear in the early rounds, if he even steps on court that is.

If the soccer goal were 20 m width and 10 m high, then my grandma would be the best soccer player ever 🤣

As a kid I've only seen hard courts, always thought then that is what tennis is only played on.

What if there was 2 grass slams? Pretty sure djokovic benefits here.

Nadal and Nadal fans never mentioned the lack of grasscourts on tour. Seriously if there were more grasscourt tournaments and less hardcourt tournaments to balance things out (grass-hard-clay) Djokovic and Federer would have won way more than him.

This is brilliant!

Nadal fanboys: Nadal is clay specialist Reality: one dimensional tennis player

A few things to consider: -Historically, all slams except RG were played on grass. What if it stayed that way? Claydal would go out in 2nd round every other slam? -Carpet was banned as a playing surface in 2009. Nadal's least favourite conditions are indoor hard; carpet was exclusively played indoors and it was similar to grass - low bouncing extremely fast surface. How would Nadal have fared in such conditions? -There have been 4 surfaces in tennis(5 if you include wood). Nadal can only blame himself for specialising for just 1/4(5) surfaces. -In modern tennis, 2 of 3 professional tournaments are played on hard. It's treated as a default surface nowadays. Clay and grass have become specialist surfaces. It makes 0 sense to have another slam on clay when you look at the calendar and surface redistribution.

Oh, I can't wait to hear how you like Nadal's new jealousy explosion

Also the speed and bounce of HC is between clay and grass making it neutral so it makes sense for it to be the most common Also as the most used surface it is also the most competitive. If clay was used more nadal might have more competition

4:15 Just look at Nole behind. Nadal won but he is smiling and showing grace in defeat. I have never seen Nadal smile like that when Djoko won

The tour was established like that long before he started playing.

Another typically brilliant video by Goatkovic. Your analytical methodology and execution are flawless.

This is yet another example why is Djokovic Nadal's biggest nightmare.. and a cause of all his frustration. By the way, I wonder how many GS would he win if he was playing naturally, with his right hand..and not being forced by his uncle, to play with left?

Nadal is the GCOAT, greatest cry baby of all times in all sports... still his fanatics praise him for his fighting attitude... LoL

Nadal fans will remind us how many slams he missed due to injury (15 or sth) while Novak only missed 1. Yet they always include the 2 matches Novak retired due to health problems in the slam H2H. They don't seem to count his retirement as slams missed either. When Nadal lost to Novak twice at RG, even without apparent problems in his previous matches, they don't count cause he was injured. When Novak lost to Nadal twice at USO, each time after a gruelling 5 set semifinal while Nadal got the easiest opponent possible in the semis and got to play the match first, they make sure to ignore that. Also, Novak winning 50% of his slams since 2018 means it's a weak era (completely ignoring the fact that he won almost half in 11-16), but Federer winning 80% of his slams before 2011 and Nadal winning 64% of his slams at one event is totally fine.

To these Nadal fans: imagine if there were 3 HC Grand Slams, how many times Nadal would get destroyed by Novak. Djoker would have 40 GSs already

One more clay slam is absolutely senseless. I guess we would need an indoor slam if we want to represent all the tennis surfaces/conditions (which seems impossible to be honest)

Nadal always injured before and after the FO every year. So if there are two clay slams a year, there should be nothing changes

Tennis was meant to be played on grass. Any other surface is synthetic. Hence, the most prestigious tournament is Wimbledon. Fed did really well. Novak excellent, Sampras excellent. These three guys are / were awesome. If you ask me, maybe Borg should be consider the second best ever, after Novak

Nadal is just a WEAK clay era champion. Never faced a Borg, a Wilander, a Muster or a Vilas on clay ... Federer and Djokovic were never clay courters, clay was always their weakest surface And what if tennis had stayed the same with 3 grass slams? Becker, Edberg, Cash, Sampras, Federer and Djokovic would have won more majors Tennis (Lawn Tennis, the REAL name) was invented to be played on grass and wooden raquets dont forget about that; the dimensions of the court were paralleled with the velocity of the ball, the speed of the courts and the power the raquets could provide Now the technology changed it all and actual players play with the same court dimensions ... it would be fair to expand the area of the courts come and think of it. What should be done inmediately is: 1) Extend the Indoor season through the Australian Open, which should be played indoors. 2) Extend the grass season with at least 2 Masters 1000 before Wimbledon; these two could be Queens and Halle one after the other ... and of course ATP 250s and 500s like Newport, Rode Island, Stuttgart, Rosmalen, Eastborne, Mallorca ... 3) Speed the courts as they were before Then it woud be fair: Well balanced season in all 4 surfaces, with 4 slams played in 4 different surfaces (And of course bring back the old Davis Cup format)

those 2 non clay wins were Canadian Master final in 2013 and the Us open final in 2013, he hasn't won a set of Djokovic on hard since. So its actually legit to think everytime nadal is injured it is always on grass or hardcourt and i suspect avoiding djokovic, but that is suspicious fuck in me, this year is the outlier, he pulled out of RG.

In FAA's match against Claydal in RG 2022, Toni Nadal rooted for his nephew to win instead of coaching his charge. That's how much of a "coach" he is. Rafael should at least know who to blame at the end of his career, including himself.

Ofc he wants more clay cuz he’s clueless on hard courts against Nole ,he didn’t even won a set against Nole on hard courts in more than a decade while in the same period Nole beat him 5 times on his beloved clay 😅😅😅

if there is no clays, nadal would end up with 7 grands slams

Can’t wait.👏👏👏

LOL. Regardless which kind of tennis surface you’re playing, you should excel. 😅

Brutal

The "ifs" about surfaces are double edged swords to be honest. Yes you can say that if there were two clay slams Rafa would won 35 or something. On the other hand, if they turned one of the hc slams to indoors, Rafa propably wouldn't even complete career slam

When he started to use 💉💉💉, then he start to love clay 😂😂😂

the crying shot was hilarious :)))

"His unhinged uncle" Hahaha

I missed nadals crocodile-tears.. they make me happy. Thank you brother for this great video!!!

Fantastic video again! 👌👏👏👏👏Thanks for the new equipment. This is about as convenient as that anti-insect spray, when you use it , they're just twist on their backs and die in silence. The same goes for Fedal fans. 😂

Najveca si legenda brate

I didn't say this many times in my life, but your videos deserve it - They are legendary!

I am addicted to your videos 😅

I’m pretty sure that if there were 2 grass slams then someone would retire before 25 😂😂

Nadal swept the clay season ONCE in his career.

i remember nadal saying one time that it's not that clay is his favorite, but he has had most success on it, during some interview to be fair, i admit that if there were two clay courts, he most likely would have had more grand slams, yet this is a silly question to even consider anyway, reality is what it is, not what could've been if something happened, nobody knows that

I remember some interview where the interviewer was calling clay his favorite surface and he was like "I never said this is my favorite surface, this is the surface where I have had the best results"

Another masterpiece!

I am guessing it was 2015 when Nadal lost to Berdych at Australia and he was basically irrelevant in a major for the first time since 2005, then he lost to Djokovic at Roland Garros and Djokovic didn’t even win the tournament, then he loses in the 2nd round of Wimbledon, and then loses in the 3rd round of the US Open. Not only was 2015 one of Nadal’s worst years since 2005 but it was one of Djokovic’s best years at the same time so Nadal knew he was screwed.

i cant get enough of watching your videos. honestly i wish you had 1000 videos lol

Nadal fans claiming goat is so funny I mean he's not even the 2nd, just by bloating numbers on clay you can't claim to be the greatest by any means. Even Agassi was a more complete player than him.

Gotta make more videos man i already watched them all...twice

Wow..17 consecutive losses to Djokovic n Federer outside clay 🙌🏽
