I am die hard fan of Roger Federer but seeing Rafael Nadal sad at the podium just kills me ................the man is made of gold he took the loss like a champion. Sir Rafael Nadal I salute you....
As I am a Rafa fan, always... want him to win. However to lose to Roger in this final is heartbreaking for him, but Roger deserves the win.... Will we see another epic final between these two in a slam..??? I hope so
that is not true. He not show grece in his actitud and words. He is very happy when win. When lose, his face show hardness and anger, Federer seems one older brother stimulating him. But al the people lie, and said he is a good loser, that is not true
could be. But not forge it very bad actitudes of Nadal. When hi pushed with his shoulder to Rosol, in the half time in Wimbledon 2012, by example. Because Rosol was winning. ( won, later). And in the ceremony of the last sunday, with RG champion, his words was= i won to RG several times, "TODAY" his beat me. He cant keep from speak about his favorable scorer against RF. But in this moment, that words (Today his beat me)are missplaced. Your words about RF "much smaller man" are only of you, The world thind different. And ius true. RF is 5 years more old. Old the time he played against Nadal, Dyokovic, Murray with 5 years more, And always made it very very very good. Old this have time for win 18 GS: But carefull with a lot of new players. Thiem, Grygory, etc, Carefull¡¡ And we will can see to Nadal, Nole, Murray playing agaisnt player 5 years more young.And we will can see his results.
all the sportman hates losing. But here seem RN hate losing more the rest. Sure, I am tired of heard he is a strong player, a fighter player, a very hard player., a dangerous player....and a gentleman too. Not, ask to Rosol in windonw 2012 is he is a gentelman.
Such a gracious and humble speech in defeat. I'm a diehard federer fan; in my earlier years, I used to dislike Rafa because he was the main roadblock to Roger's continued success into stratospheric heights. However now as I grow older, I can look past that and appreciate his fighting will, humility and constant good nature both in victory and defeat. What are we going to do when roger and rafa retires, I have no idea
Being die hard rafa fan,same thing now I feel about roger...this two r world to me..... Though I would like to see rafa beating roger in final... And I have an idea.. It's easy for me.... I will stop watching tennis....After ROGER and RAFA.
Whenever I read the comments on men's tennis videos, I am reminded of how many people around the world love and respect this sport as much as I do. That being said, its nice to see the love and appreciation that we show for our heroes such as Roger and Rafa. Keep up the good work guys!
I hated watching this as a Federer fan. I'm Swiss, but come on, Rafa was like family. We saw them both in 2004 at Roland Garros when they were kids. We hoped they would win something. How on earth did they both beat Sampras, Agassi, Borg and Connor? It was an insane adventure, and I think that Rafa fans were never enemies. So many good moments lived together, and they ended up being real friends.
I am a Federer fan but Nadal is the most humble, most nicest guy. I respect Nadal a lot and i really hope he wins French open this year, it will be his tenth title at one grand slam. Thats just amazing. Rafa and Roger r just simply legends of our sport.
@@rahulfederer20 He equalled him indeed but As Roger said, there's no other person he'd be happier to share that record with, than Rafa and I think the same goes to Roger's fans like me. I wasn't upset when it happened cuz u know, it's Rafa ❤️.
I've been watching tennis for years and never before have I heard such humble speeches by both player. Hats off to them 🙏🏻 so much respect they have for each other, very different from the usual speech
because rival is different with enemy federer and rafa is the greatest rivalry of tennis they respect each other unlike djokovic and murray they meet a lot on the court but i dont think they like each other
Harry Smart This is why I don't like so much Novak Djokovic, it does not seem to be sincere and respectful for those two. Roger and Rafa are walking legends with such a huge class to one another.
I know right, there are so many haters, I used to have small hatred towards Nadal for defeating Federer after Wimbledon 2008, but over the years I came to appreciate Nadal more. Both players are extremely gifted, extremely humble and extremely pleasant to watch. It still stings a bit but that is what makes tennis beautiful having rivals. I remember Borg and Mcenroe being arch rivals too and boy did it make tennis beautiful. There is nothing better than two of the greatest player ever playing the game playing against each other.,
This could be Rafa's best speech after a slam final (win or loss). He gave everything on court and then released his sadness in such a humble, positive and funny way that only a great human being can do. Have been a lifelong Fed fan but Rafa is a great inspiration!
somehow stats are just like curse if you see from eurosport, after roger win the 3rd set. they showing rafa stats that saying rafa is never win a grandslam match after down 2-1.. while roger win 6 of 10 match after lead 2-1.
tiger22 I dont think he blew it away. Rafa never blows it away. He fights till the last point. The man is a warrior. But today Federer took initiative and played aggressive and took the match from Rafas hands. All in all 2 legends gave us an amazing match and they are both back at the top level. I hope Nadal wins French open number 10 this year. The man deserves it but today is a day for us Federer fans to celebrate
It took me six months after the 2017 final before I could watch the trophy presentation and the post-match conferences because it hurt too much -- and even then it still hurt. But now, five years later, after he FINALLY won his second Australian Open, I think a lot of us Rafa fans can also finally make peace with the heartbreak of this and the 2012 and 2014 finals. Thank you Rafa.
Ridiculously close back and forth 5 setter championship with unbelievable shot making. I would have never guessed in a million years that we would see a match like this again between these 2 players. So much vintage here.
he is important, for his opps are bigs. For himself. hi....is .....What is? The all time best on clay? In the slow play of clay?. The old and slow play? Of course. In few years more the play in clay will disspear5..
No. Tennis need all. Serve, baseline, etc, the most differents shots,. And serve, too. If you lost because you dont have a good serve, sorry man, go to lear to serve, before play. Tennis is all. Speed too, no the slow play of the clay.
he might have Lost, but he still made a great speech to his credit ♥♥♥, so humble and so adorable he will surely strike again. It's a true blessing to watch these 2 legends reunited again in an epic final ♥
I am the biggest Federer fan but this is very painful to watch. I really, really wish Rafa all the best for the future. I simply don't know what to look forward to in tennis after these two legends retire.
Amrit Swain Don't despair my friend. One thing that I have realized from watching men's tennis through the decades is that there is never a shortage of world class talent. Might we ever see such gifted players as Roger and Rafa again? Perhaps not, but I feel hopeful about the future of men's tennis. I expect great things from that kid Dimitrov in the coming years. They do afterall call him "Baby Fed" haha.
Amazing players, yes ATP does have many new talented players. But they mostly waste their time with unnecessary rantings and flaunting their girlfriends. Classic examples are Kyrgios, Tomic and to some extent Dimitrov. I have been waiting for the so called Baby Fed to win big slam matches since 5 years or so. Hes already 25 (26ish) now. Though i must say great players might be just around the corner, waiting for that one big match, we never know. Thiem and Dimitrov are still my best bet.
Nick Kygios and Bernard Tomic should watch these two. not for the tennis and skill level..they are on a level beyond those two, but for lessons on humility, respect and grace ...
Carl Vincent I couldn't agree more. I can perhaps understand if Kyrgios and Tomic are from a country that hasn't produced any tennis greats but they are from Australia for crying out loud!! Some of the most humble and respectful players that ever played the game originate from that country (Laver, Newcombe, Rafter, Philipoussis) so its not like they don't have great role models to look up to. Yeah dude, it will indeed be a sad day for men's tennis the day that Roger and Rafa retire because I fear that players like Kyrgios and Tomic will inherit the game.
I'm here for the future to let you know that despite all the tragic defeats Rafa has faced in the Australian Open final, when everything seemed like history would just repeat itself again in 2022... He came back from 2 sets down and 3 break points against one of the best hardcourt players in the world in Medvedev to win his 2nd Australian Open and his 21st Grand Slam title in an epic classic ❤💛❤
The things that I respect most about Rafa are his never say die attitude and his sheer will. Whether he's 2 sets down or facing 3 match points, he keeps on fighting with every shot, every point. When things don't go his way, there's no dummy spit, no smashing of the racquet. He just get on with it. We are very fortunate to have witnessed these 2 champions giving us such epic matches over the years. They have left their own indelible marks on the game of tennis.
This comment aged really really well! Today Rafa won the 21 grand coming back over two sets down and three break points. He makes us Spaniards feel tremendously proud and confident of what we can achieve with hard work and noble values
Congrats to all the Fed fans and Federer. It must feel so great after waiting for five years with no slam. This is definitely a bittersweet tournament for a die-hard Rafa fan like me. It was so close yet so far. Rafa I am going to be rooting for you at the French Open - I know you still have more great tennis in you. God bless. Vamos!
Fed and Rafa fans are also like them. Respectful towards each other. As a fed fan I will obviously feel sad the day rafa retires as well. But fans of Novak are so toxic. It's just obnoxious to deal with them.
Much better the trophy hahaha. And now it's yours. Well done Rafa. For once again you've shown us what a great fighter you are and what you are still capable of doing!
I'm looking back at this speech and pondering the justice that ensued for him, 13 years on to lift that trophy again. What a wonderful speech. He had a few ups and downs in Australia down the years after his victory in 2009 but he never gave up. He seems so genuine and gracious in his praise of Rafa. Two legends of the game 💕
I have never seen any legend of any game that was as unfortunate as Rafa at AO. Like seriously, with a little bit of luck he could have had 5 AOs no joke. Injured against Wawa before the match starts, up against both Djokovic and Fed in the 5th etc.
I am a huge fan of Roger and this was the day, I fell in love with Rafa as well. Two great legends. Thank you for what you did for tennis. I truly believe this was the best match in tennis history and proud to have seen it in my lifetime.
Iam here after 2022 AO final iam so overwhelmed that Rafa broke record for grand slam titles truly exceptional and no doubt Djokovic and Federer have contributed a lot to his achievements and same has he done for them the elite trio
Losing & winning is part of game but the way both have shared their feeling,happiness and love I love it.Happy to see both the legends standing at same ground.
I am a big Rafa fan and I was in tears after the match but no denying that Federer deserved to win and the kind the of respect they for each other is really inspiring. Both gave an amazing speech after the match.
I may be one of the biggest fans of Roger over the years. But Heart is always beating fast when Rafa is doing what he does always as the second best of all time in Tennis history. Very proud of being a big Tennis fan of this Generation and so lucky to see these two legendary and humble players on and off the court....
I think Roger is the perfect example of spirit and enthusiasm,he is truly a maverick sportsman and a Raymond Gentleman. hats off to Roger Frederer you are really a Fed express.
wonderful to hear nadal , its very special and humble and inspirational to all sports-lovers around world. equally wonderful speech by roger as well. both uphold the spirit of sports. all the cheers
love Nadal. What a wonderful way to honour his mates win ..heart of gold.... Legend all the way.... True sportsmanship. Respect all the way! A winner always.
I am team Rafa but those two guys did so much for the sport seeing this in 2020 reminds me every time how fantastic these two are and how sad i will be when they retire. I wish Roger all the best with his injury hope he will comeback like 2017 he is a true champ. Also hope that Rafa can compete on his highest level such a great guy. Thanks for so many years 💪🏻
Vamos rafa, lets go roger, both great great legends, my support goes out to rafa all the way but roger was simply better this day, congratz on number 18, hope he will get 20 in total
Rafa is really a great person,,its difficult to tell such a great speech after a tough 5 set loss,,hope Rafa will win RG this year: From a huge Roger fan
Rafa's first serve in the 5th set cost him dearly! He blew a 3-1 lead which was so painful to watch! I so badly wanted him to win the AO as he would have been the first man in the open era to win every slam twice! One day I'm sure he will do so! Also you are looking at the 2017 Roland Garros champion! Vamos Rafa!
@Dhruv Erry "got" is correct. The Americans say "gotten" though. It was used in English over 300 years ago but the Americans copied it and when it died out in proper English the Americans didn't get the memo 😂
Inmenso, único, inigualable, sublime. No hay un ejemplo que represente mejor la constancia, el espíritu de sacrificio y la fé en si mismo que RAFAEL NADAL. El mejor deportista español hasta la fecha por sus méritos y por los valores que atesora
Awesome match! True Tennis! Respect to both the legends! I'm a true Rafa Fan but today I support Roger for his 100% where Rafa gave 99%! No worries! I'm sure my champion Rafa will come back with strong performance in FO and be the winner in FO! What a humble speech by the both great Sport'iev Buddies, Which will remain closer to Every tennis lover for ever! Respect from India! 😍
If Rafa can reach the finals of the AO which is his worst GS, I think he can do great things especially in the Clay season and win the FO. Granted, he didn't face Murray or Djoker but his confidence is at an all time high in a long time.
I am die hard fan of Roger Federer but seeing Rafael Nadal sad at the podium just kills me ................the man is made of gold he took the loss like a champion. Sir Rafael Nadal I salute you....
Jason Steel same to you bro
amazing comment salute to you as well
Nadal needs to adapt if he really wants another trophy at a non-clay GS event.
Great comment.. thnku! I am die hard rafa fan, but its kinda not bad to see him lose to a legend RF. Salute to both
As I am a Rafa fan, always... want him to win. However to lose to Roger in this final is heartbreaking for him, but Roger deserves the win.... Will we see another epic final between these two in a slam..??? I hope so
Only a true Champion like Rafa knows how to lose with grace. What a great match!
K. Bauer both of you are great
that is not true. He not show grece in his actitud and words. He is very happy when win. When lose, his face show hardness and anger, Federer seems one older brother stimulating him. But al the people lie, and said he is a good loser, that is not true
I think that's only just your opinion.

Probably watch Zverev smashing rackets and Kyrgios tanking matches.
those r my words :-)
Being die hard rafa fan,same thing now I feel about roger...this two r world to me..... Though I would like to see rafa beating roger in final...
And I have an idea.. It's easy for me....
I will stop watching tennis....After ROGER and RAFA.
Exact thoughts of mind also..
I’ll probably cry. I’m sure Roger will too.😊😢😂
And 5 years later he did it. What a legend!!
I may be Roger's fan but I still have great respect for Nadal. He is truly a legend but so humble and amicable in real life
great comment and respect shown
Whenever I read the comments on men's tennis videos, I am reminded of how many people around the world love and respect this sport as much as I do. That being said, its nice to see the love and appreciation that we show for our heroes such as Roger and Rafa. Keep up the good work guys!

Here after he finally won his 2nd AO and 21st Slam ! Living Legend !
me too he is legend truly a legend
I am a Federer fan but Nadal is the most humble, most nicest guy. I respect Nadal a lot and i really hope he wins French open this year, it will be his tenth title at one grand slam. Thats just amazing. Rafa and Roger r just simply legends of our sport.
Yusuf Luhar he did !!!:)
He has 12 now and 19 in all
He won his 13th french open and 20th grand slam and levelled with Roger now.
Lmao bro you wished him too much 😂😂😂 he equalled Roger 😂🎉
@@rahulfederer20 He equalled him indeed but As Roger said, there's no other person he'd be happier to share that record with, than Rafa and I think the same goes to Roger's fans like me. I wasn't upset when it happened cuz u know, it's Rafa ❤️.
Classy performance by Rafa, especially after such a close loss.
I've been watching tennis for years and never before have I heard such humble speeches by both player. Hats off to them 🙏🏻 so much respect they have for each other, very different from the usual speech
because rival is different with enemy
federer and rafa is the greatest rivalry of tennis they respect each other
unlike djokovic and murray they meet a lot on the court but i dont think they like each other
Quynh Pham Their game was something like definition of tennis 🎾 🎉
Quynh Pham ,
And why you Chelshit fan acted like a moron to a lady?
Chelsea Is going to walk the league wow, edgy kid
Gracious humble Rafa ♥ best two tennis has ever seen.....so much humility ♥ love rafa love federer ♥ live long, legends
Harry Smart This is why I don't like so much Novak Djokovic, it does not seem to be sincere and respectful for those two. Roger and Rafa are walking legends with such a huge class to one another.
Sissi Rose actually there are many more who need to learn from these two...!!
Harry Smart Yes, I agree Tomas Berdych for instance and many more...
Sissi Rose exactlyy
I know right, there are so many haters, I used to have small hatred towards Nadal for defeating Federer after Wimbledon 2008, but over the years I came to appreciate Nadal more.

I don't care what the rankings say, Roger and Rafa will always be #1 and #2 in my eyes
They are at number 1 both. Then comes djoko second
Rafa blew a 3-1 lead. But in all serious Rafa is amazing, this was nostalgic to watch. Two titans, way better than Murray Djok finals
Feels bad man...
somehow stats are just like curse
if you see from eurosport, after roger win the 3rd set.
they showing rafa stats that saying rafa is never win a grandslam match after down 2-1.. while roger win 6 of 10 match after lead 2-1.
tiger22 okay stop lying. Andy vs Nole are great too.
Real Madrid you can gtfo too✌
tiger22 I dont think he blew it away. Rafa never blows it away. He fights till the last point. The man is a warrior. But today Federer took initiative and played aggressive and took the match from Rafas hands. All in all 2 legends gave us an amazing match and they are both back at the top level. I hope Nadal wins French open number 10 this year. The man deserves it but today is a day for us Federer fans to celebrate
You have done it Ràfa... After 5 yrs here u are with 2n AO title and 21st GS 1st ever to achieve that.
Vamos Rafa..♥️💥💪
It took me six months after the 2017 final before I could watch the trophy presentation and the post-match conferences because it hurt too much -- and even then it still hurt. But now, five years later, after he FINALLY won his second Australian Open, I think a lot of us Rafa fans can also finally make peace with the heartbreak of this and the 2012 and 2014 finals. Thank you Rafa.
Always Vamos 💪
I still can't get over the 2012 AO. That match broke me. Hope Rafa defends his title next year and beats Djokovic this time.
Federer fans have got 2017
Nadal fans have got 2022
😊
This rivalry is greatest amongst all sports. Both are so humble, best in the world.
Ridiculously close back and forth 5 setter championship with unbelievable shot making. I would have never guessed in a million years that we would see a match like this again between these 2 players. So much vintage here.
The match against Dimitrov was even closer.But respect to Rafa.True legend.
Nadal one legend? of a slow tennis of R. Garros, only,
i hope you're kidding
he is important, for his opps are bigs. For himself. hi....is .....What is? The all time best on clay? In the slow play of clay?. The old and slow play? Of course. In few years more the play in clay will disspear5..
No. Tennis need all. Serve, baseline, etc, the most differents shots,. And serve, too. If you lost because you dont have a good serve, sorry man, go to lear to serve, before play. Tennis is all. Speed too, no the slow play of the clay.
Just one word: respect. Respect for these two great players...
Who all are here after rafa wins ao 2022🤩🎊🎉.
2 Great legends😍
Rafa is a classy guy. He speaks so well and from the heart and is heart is good.
Steve Melton he sure is. I love this speech from Rafa and I’m a die hard Fed fan. All respect to both of them,.
he might have Lost, but he still made a great speech to his credit ♥♥♥, so humble and so adorable he will surely strike again. It's a true blessing to watch these 2 legends reunited again in an epic final ♥
Rafa is such a kind, thoughtful, humble person. A true sportsman
I am the biggest Federer fan but this is very painful to watch. I really, really wish Rafa all the best for the future. I simply don't know what to look forward to in tennis after these two legends retire.
Amrit Swain
Don't despair my friend. One thing that I have realized from watching men's tennis through the decades is that there is never a shortage of world class talent. Might we ever see such gifted players as Roger and Rafa again? Perhaps not, but I feel hopeful about the future of men's tennis. I expect great things from that kid Dimitrov in the coming years. They do afterall call him "Baby Fed" haha.
Amazing players, yes ATP does have many new talented players. But they mostly waste their time with unnecessary rantings and flaunting their girlfriends. Classic examples are Kyrgios, Tomic and to some extent Dimitrov. I have been waiting for the so called Baby Fed to win big slam matches since 5 years or so. Hes already 25 (26ish) now. Though i must say great players might be just around the corner, waiting for that one big match, we never know. Thiem and Dimitrov are still my best bet.
Kyrgios isn't even that bad anymore lol people just hate him for being a dick once
If you're a Federer fan why is it painful to watch? Maybe you're like me.You empthasize with the loser
Jeffrey Kaufmann you can be a fan of both Fed and Rafa
Who's here after Rafa's epic comeback victory to clinch his 21st GS at AO 2022?
I cant imagine Tennis without Roger, Rafa and Serena.
Joshua Roger Me too. I'm a HUGE FAN of Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams and I also admire Roger Federer.
Joshua Roger three great men
Legend of Zelda 2 I'm dying now ffs. :D What a comment there.
Joshua Roger I can. People will play matches with serves and groundstrokes
MsManui racist
Nick Kygios and Bernard Tomic should watch these two. not for the tennis and skill level..they are on a level beyond those two, but for lessons on humility, respect and grace ...
Carl Vincent
I couldn't agree more. I can perhaps understand if Kyrgios and Tomic are from a country that hasn't produced any tennis greats but they are from Australia for crying out loud!! Some of the most humble and respectful players that ever played the game originate from that country (Laver, Newcombe, Rafter, Philipoussis) so its not like they don't have great role models to look up to.
Yeah dude, it will indeed be a sad day for men's tennis the day that Roger and Rafa retire because I fear that players like Kyrgios and Tomic will inherit the game.
Lord Bernard tomic inherited Rafa s fighting spirit
rafa you have excelled and defied all the boundaries ♥
Rafa is probably one of those who can't be hated , he is just too great, natural and honest 🔥
One of the best speech ever in any sport, Rafa knows how to handle defeat and bounce back from defeat. Die hard Rafa fan👍
I'm here for the future to let you know that despite all the tragic defeats Rafa has faced in the Australian Open final, when everything seemed like history would just repeat itself again in 2022... He came back from 2 sets down and 3 break points against one of the best hardcourt players in the world in Medvedev to win his 2nd Australian Open and his 21st Grand Slam title in an epic classic ❤💛❤
The things that I respect most about Rafa are his never say die attitude and his sheer will. Whether he's 2 sets down or facing 3 match points, he keeps on fighting with every shot, every point.

We are very fortunate to have witnessed these 2 champions giving us such epic matches over the years. They have left their own indelible marks on the game of tennis.
This comment aged really really well! Today Rafa won the 21 grand coming back over two sets down and three break points. He makes us Spaniards feel tremendously proud and confident of what we can achieve with hard work and noble values
such a gracious humble champion
I almost cry when I saw that Rafa lost but I know he will come back better and win many more titles he is a big inspiration for me 💕💕. #vamosrafa
Stefani Selivanova well he did. There was no way he wouldn't.
Congrats to all the Fed fans and Federer. It must feel so great after waiting for five years with no slam.
This is definitely a bittersweet tournament for a die-hard Rafa fan like me. It was so close yet so far. Rafa I am going to be rooting for you at the French Open - I know you still have more great tennis in you. God bless. Vamos!
Fed and Rafa fans are also like them. Respectful towards each other. As a fed fan I will obviously feel sad the day rafa retires as well. But fans of Novak are so toxic. It's just obnoxious to deal with them.
Much better the trophy hahaha. And now it's yours. Well done Rafa. For once again you've shown us what a great fighter you are and what you are still capable of doing!
Winning an audience is not an easy job and Rafa and Federer have successfully won audiences all their career
A champion is not born , it's made
Vamos Rafa
Ive been a Rafa fan since 2006 such a class guy when he looses he never makes an excuse.
Rafa is so humble, down to earth person and a good friend of Roger too.
I'm looking back at this speech and pondering the justice that ensued for him, 13 years on to lift that trophy again. What a wonderful speech. He had a few ups and downs in Australia down the years after his victory in 2009 but he never gave up. He seems so genuine and gracious in his praise of Rafa. Two legends of the game 💕
I have never seen any legend of any game that was as unfortunate as Rafa at AO. Like seriously, with a little bit of luck he could have had 5 AOs no joke. Injured against Wawa before the match starts, up against both Djokovic and Fed in the 5th etc.
I am a huge fan of Roger and this was the day, I fell in love with Rafa as well. Two great legends. Thank you for what you did for tennis. I truly believe this was the best match in tennis history and proud to have seen it in my lifetime.
Such a class act and so calm and cheerful after a heartbreaking loss. Love you Rafa
Lovely bloke. Speaks from the heart and no bullshit. 👌
Hats off to Rafa. A humble, great fighter. Back in form, Roland Garros ahead, godspeed.
Who came back here after Rafa’s victory in 2022❤️
such a genuine human being....so good from heart...God bless u Rafa
Iam here after 2022 AO final iam so overwhelmed that Rafa broke record for grand slam titles truly exceptional and no doubt Djokovic and Federer have contributed a lot to his achievements and same has he done for them the elite trio
These two players defines the spirit and respect for sports and for each other. wish they both will keep playing forever
Hearth warming speech given by a big humble conqueror ....God will always love you n bless you😇
Such beauty in these 2 humble legends, fills my heart with joy and pride.
Losing & winning is part of game but the way both have shared their feeling,happiness and love I love it.Happy to see both the legends standing at same ground.
yes, he is back!!! Respect Rafa!!!
I Have watched so many times this presentation Nadal talking so much respect about Roger Federer.
THESE GUYS ARE LIKE TWO EYE OF US,YOU JUST CAN'T HATE ❤️
Listening to this speech after Rafa's victory in the U.S. Open! Hard work pays off!
I am a big Rafa fan and I was in tears after the match but no denying that Federer deserved to win and the kind the of respect they for each other is really inspiring. Both gave an amazing speech after the match.
True champion right there Rafa very humble. One ☝️ of the GOAT 🐐 players that continues to play amazing tennis 🎾
I may be one of the biggest fans of Roger over the years. But Heart is always beating fast when Rafa is doing what he does always as the second best of all time in Tennis history. Very proud of being a big Tennis fan of this Generation and so lucky to see these two legendary and humble players on and off the court....
unforgettable game and speech! both are true legend, respect!
It will be a sad day when these two legends retire
I think Roger is the perfect example of spirit and enthusiasm,he is truly a maverick sportsman and a Raymond Gentleman.
hats off to Roger Frederer you are really a Fed express.
Immense respect towards each other 🔥🔥🔥
Nadal needs to win this year's french open. He deserves it. And if he stays fit he WILL!

VITOLLFOTOGRAFIA He deserved it!!!! Nadal and federer are something else!!

wonderful to hear nadal , its very special and humble and inspirational to all sports-lovers around world. equally wonderful speech by roger as well. both uphold the spirit of sports. all the cheers
Said he'd fight hard. Nailed it, Rafa. Nailed 2017. Vamos!
After Rafa's 21 at AO, this speech is suddenly less painful to watch...
"I am going to keep trying hard to have the trophy in the future." Wow...
Both Nadal and Federer are very high in my estimation. They are so professional and have such respect for each other.
love Nadal. What a wonderful way to honour his mates win ..heart of gold.... Legend all the way.... True sportsmanship. Respect all the way!
A winner always.
What a man. I love him so much:)
Grande Rafa !! "El éxito no es ganar sino
saber que lo has dado todo"
All class with these two gentleman. Kudos to Rafe. Brooklyn loves you. Congrats Roger, I love you!
I am team Rafa but those two guys did so much for the sport seeing this in 2020 reminds me every time how fantastic these two are and how sad i will be when they retire. I wish Roger all the best with his injury hope he will comeback like 2017 he is a true champ. Also hope that Rafa can compete on his highest level such a great guy. Thanks for so many years 💪🏻
Vamos rafa, lets go roger, both great great legends, my support goes out to rafa all the way but roger was simply better this day, congratz on number 18, hope he will get 20 in total
YOU the only reason Rafa I dont call Roger the greatest of all time......vamos Rafa:)
What a gracious speech rafa had. So sincere. No wonder everyone loves him. Only he will live in the many minds forever as a legend!
VAMOS RAFA!!!!😊🇩🇪👍
It's truly amazing how much those to respect each other no matter how hard they compete with each other it's obvious they want the best for each other
Amazing tennis between our two tennis legends.....they both played fantastic :))
2009,2017. Best final match, best speech from both. Huge fed fan but i have major respect for rafa 🔥🔥🔥
Rafa is really a great person,,its difficult to tell such a great speech after a tough
5 set loss,,hope Rafa will win RG this year: From a huge Roger fan
Rafa's first serve in the 5th set cost him dearly! He blew a 3-1 lead which was so painful to watch! I so badly wanted him to win the AO as he would have been the first man in the open era to win every slam twice! One day I'm sure he will do so! Also you are looking at the 2017 Roland Garros champion! Vamos Rafa!
Sami Syed blown 3-1 leads have become a trend of late.
Just like the Warriors
His English has gotten a lot better!
but yours has not xD
@Dhruv Erry "got" is correct. The Americans say "gotten" though. It was used in English over 300 years ago but the Americans copied it and when it died out in proper English the Americans didn't get the memo 😂
hard work determination for the goal never fails that what we had seen in Roger federer and Rafael nadal congratulations to Roger federer
Two best tennis players of all time.
Inmenso, único, inigualable, sublime. No hay un ejemplo que represente mejor la constancia, el espíritu de sacrificio y la fé en si mismo que RAFAEL NADAL. El mejor deportista español hasta la fecha por sus méritos y por los valores que atesora
Awesome match! True Tennis! Respect to both the legends! I'm a true Rafa Fan but today I support Roger for his 100% where Rafa gave 99%! No worries! I'm sure my champion Rafa will come back with strong performance in FO and be the winner in FO! What a humble speech by the both great Sport'iev Buddies, Which will remain closer to Every tennis lover for ever! Respect from India! 😍
The rivalry between Federer and Nadal elevates both of them. Truly hope to see more battles between them during the twilight of their careers.
he was so humble in his speech and so full of humor.
who is here after yesterday's thriller?
Rafa Nadal... Tennis' most competitive... and yet he is always humble even in defeat... #VamosRafa... #NeverSayNever....
Man, i can’t imagine tennis without Federer and Nadal
No better sportsman than Rafa. Always humble in victory and defeat. So happy he is back
heart and soul of a lion...
Tennis goat rafa speech excellent 🇪🇸👍
If Rafa can reach the finals of the AO which is his worst GS, I think he can do great things especially in the Clay season and win the FO. Granted, he didn't face Murray or Djoker but his confidence is at an all time high in a long time.
also us open might be interessting slighty slower surface than in melbourn
Wesley Tran didn't lose a darn set.
