- The dark side of Tennis, When the crowd disrespect goes too far! in many occasions the French crowd have been completely unfair to various Tennis players, including Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova and even the 13 time champion Rafael Nadal when he was just an 18 year old teenager, but Nadal showed them who is the BOSS.

This video was uploaded 7 months ago but why does it refer to Rafa as a 13 time French Open champ? He just won his 13th today!!!
I came from the future, you got me now!
@@WivoRN damn i was thinkin the same, u from the future bro xD
Nooooooooooo, my comment got unpinned why ?!!!!! I was so proud of this achievement !!!!!! Lol 😂
You are a very smart slumdog for spotting that error.
they used the red and blue turnstiles!!!!
Nadal was more uncomfortable with the English interview than the booing French crowd😂
😂😂😂
That's so true😂😂😂
The French crowd cursed themselves that day. They had to watch that kid win their home slam 12 times
Edit: 13 Vamos!!
Edit: 14 Vamos!!
Nobody got cursed, the French love Nadal since the very beginning, its just normal to support your own country.
@@tibo997 I remember this match well and it went way beyond simply support. The French crowd is the best as far as energy and enthusiasm, but they went way, way too far that day. It was appalling.
@@samfrazier5599 French crowd is crearly the worse. No respect and Spanish crowd has more energy and their festivity atmosphere is way better.
11 more times not 12, he had already won his first thats how you are describing it
@@velekorunoski5997 this match was during RG 2005 so at the time of this match he hadn't won his first title there yet
when ROGER is shouting ..u KNOW something wrong with crowd
Come on, he was bratty in his younger days. He still has a huge ego but learned to conceal it better. Still my favorite player ever though
Fed just didn't arrive to win on clay. "Mauvais joueur"
@@Gryffon3 This was not a part of his bratty years though. This was 2012 ig.
Exactly
@@Gryffon3 you are right, he went from zero to hero
why does this have serial killer documentary music
This is way too accurate 😂
I know right, Nadal is not a serial killer, he's a sports competitor
Nadal is the serial killer, that's it
Cuz Nadal absolutely murders all his opponents on clay
For the obvious reasons 😅
The crowd went from rude to respect. I’m glad Rafa kept his composure. Not many people can do that
Indeed
Djokovic?
sorry but those people shouldnt be allowed in the audience if they can't behave like adults. Actually, kids are more respectful than them. What has Nadal done that is so terrible for people even to behave like this?
I never see Rafa thrown tantrum on his game he is always on control no matter lost or win
Yep, Rafa provides a blueprint on what to do when the crowd, opponent or anything or anyone else is trying to throw your game off- stay focused and win!
Rafael behaviour or character at the age of 18 is an exceptional!!!! Big respect to his family and uncle Toni on how you raised a boy and now a man with a great sportsmanship and humbleness inside in him after all the success, fame and money Rafa never change still the same as he was before. That's why Rafa earned too much respect and loved from people around the world...❤ 😍 💖
In Spain, the arrogant athletes who succeed in English and french do not like them, the Spanish values and also in HispanoAmerica, they reject that, the most humble and noble people are usually valued, than the people who are arrogant and give a show.
imagine osaka in his place
💯
"When you smile, things will somehow work out..." - lovely statement.
It’s a shame she didn’t continue to be like that.
Other players: They get emotional
Nadal: "Strange situation for me"
I know aha hilarious
Right? 😭😭😭
Nadal is a legend, it’s hard to deny it, he has a gift
You reckon?
Just Some Guy without a Mustache
you watch tennis and anime? literally impossible
Just Some Guy without a Mustache why do I see you in all the videos I watch same name and everything
ya think?
damn 18 years old nadal was so handsome
These matches were something normal when Nadal was playing and he was only 18 years old here, it shows how strong he was mentally and people forget how Nadal was booed in his career against Federer. Supporting Federer in Wimbledon like Djokovic had to deal with is very different from getting booed by everyone. Nadal will always be the greatest legend.
In terms of players I am neutral with both Nadal and Djokovic but as a person Nadal is far better for sure. Never saw him yelling at crowd to shut up even though he experienced similar things to an extent like Djokovic or giving smirks like Djokovic does to crowd after winning against both Nadal and Federer. I see fans of Djokovic complaining about crowd everywhere but not seeing the difference in behaviour during hard times between these 2. For Nadal he earned it from a good behaviour while Djokovic just became too desperate for it with that cringe worthy celebration which looked fake.
@@Steve-fb6cs You can't compare Djoko to Nadal, Djokovic began his career after a war, while Nadal had much better conditions in the beginning of his career.
@@vinserryswe1563 you improve faster against better players. So Djokovic is lucky. See how your argument doesnt have to mean its harder. Thats what you make of it.. Nadal & Federer are just the 2 GOATs
@@seb9940 u do know that stats would say otherwise
@@Steve-fb6cs lol, Nadal had similar experience with the crowd like Djokovic? Are you kidding me? 1 time Nadal faced crowd like that was against Novak in ATP cup and he was crying about that both at the court and at the press conference later. And guess what, Djokovic is dealing with that type of treatment on the regular basis and he is still the best
I did not know Martina Hingis went through that. I remember how rude they were to Serena, that is why I don't know why she plays Roland Garros or says she loves the clay to this day. This is what made me a Rafael Nadal fan for life how he overcame the crowd, defeating Roger Federer, and winning his first major at his first attempt while being so young. To have that much focus and concentration along with the character that early on in one's career is outstanding.
i am still impressed how he handled this awful situation , in his young age - not many would have done that so well and still win the match! Chapeau!
What situation? No one was booing Nadal, they were booing the umpire, watch again, pay attention, and try to keep up.
Wow that Martina Hingis story is horrible. What awful crowd, rules and judges.
Martina Hingis was very arrogant but this video only shows the crowed not what happened just before.
@@alex324ization what happened just before?
sandflee Yeah. That’s a good time for an umpire to say. Stop rather than adding to it. You never see that at Sw19 lol
Hingis was acting like a spoiled brat, you can't cross to the opponent side to show a mark on the clay and then complain for several minutes and have the referee to come out. If the umpire ruled off, that's it, MOVE ON, it's just a point.
@@TheMela2022 "move on, its just a point". By the looks of it, the crowd was still in the wrong to torment her for the rest of the game...
That's actually terrible that the crowd do that
I totally agree..I mean, who do they think they are? They're just a crowd, they should watch in silence and be respectful of the players!
@@alfo03 They're French, at the French Open, cheering for a Frenchman (Grosjean).
Bombay1618 cheering ≠ PASSIONATELY booing and disrespecting the other player
yes, was shocked. did not know that.
@@Bombay1618 Grosjean who?
Rafa's been showing 'em how it's done for a long time now, no?
Best Competitor Ever?
I watched those matches in 2005 and I remember the shame I felt at some moments in that match against Grosjean, with all the crowd booing that talented teenager just because of playing better than the french.
In the same way in 2009 I couldn't believe my eyes when it was so obvious that they wanted Rafa to lose against Soderling, a player that nobody likes, nor the other players nor the crowds all over the world because of his peculiar personality. And suddenly they were cheering him as if he was born in Paris.
The positive side of this ashaming attitude is that by overcoming all this keeping his composure Rafa is even greater to me and to many people.
I was on the court with Soderling this day; I was feeling like I was the only french one who wanted to see Rafa win
Come on , I know these are sterotypes about french specially parisians but they're not the same crowd every year , some are rude other shows a lot of respect
He got me at trophy presentation for a major he had just won and Rodger was crying, Rafa says something like 'It's only tennis, be a man'
I was a Soderling fan since 2006
@@lesliepropheter5040 lol he never said that. He openly said in his victory speech that he knows how it feels to lose. He is a good person in that regards and won’t say a thing like you mentioned.
Medvedev (2022 Australian Open) can see this and take inspiration on how to handle such situations just like Rafa did as an 18 year old.
Who cannot LOVE Mr Rafael Nadal??? I am from Malaysia🇲🇾 ...my sister and i LOVE his every tennis match soooooo much!!!
the greatest part was seeing Zidane handing Rafael the trophy
It shows the kind of tough upbringing Rafa had. Today, kids like Kyrgios, Zverev, Medvedev lose their cool over every little matter. Rafa was trained to be a mental fortress. And then we have Djokovic who feeds on negative energy. They silence the rowdy crowds like nobody can.
You forgot Tsitsipas’ infantile behavior.
Hubert Hurkacz punched 👊 a French spectator in French Open.
Medvedev has every right to speak against the hostile crowd who are nasty. Australian Open Spanish crowd who are spectators and Rafael Nadal fans called Medvedev a crazy, devilish, communist and socialist Russian go back to Russia 🇷🇺. They even called Medvedev a bullshit Russian. Spanish spectator got a punch 👊 by Medvedev and even hit another spectator with a Racket. Spectators who are the crowd spoke things which are politically incorrect and things which shouldn't be spoken was spoken. Crowd spoke about Medvedev heritage and background.
Djokovic wins matches but is still disliked by many because of his despicable antics on the court such as breaking his racket on the center court net post in the finals at Wimbledon last year. In today's society that seems to be more tolerated than it would have been in the past.
They are proud to be "professional booers"... worst crowd!
Medvedev better learn, that’s how you flip a crowd, not by crying and whining. If you’re truly great, or if greatness is what you pursue, you don’t blame a crowd, and you don’t get defeated by a crowd.
I returned to this video because of the way Medvedev was badly disrespected by the crowd when he was playing against Rafa at the Australian Open 2022. It's funny how things turn around and now Rafa is loved around the world. Still, I really think umpires should do more to control these problematic crowds.
same!
Yes but compare how each players react to the crowd and you know the big difference between them
but there is a difference Nadal not cursed anyone, on the other hand medvedev was cursing ballboys and crowd.
Not the same at all. Nadal never smashed racquets, never yelled or disrespected the umpires (something Daniil tends to do and had even called umpires stupid or small cat) and Nadal never makes ugly and loser gestures during a crown ceremony by saying “boring” which Daniil tends to do when he loses. Extremely different personalities. Nadal is an icon of respect whereas Medvedev is quite the opposite hence crowds usually dislike him. Not saying is ok to boo a player, but I can understand why it happens when a player is so disrespectful

Thank you so much, really appreciate the kind words ❤️
Poor frenchies, they’ve had to suck it up so many times against the goat.
@Oliver McCall Worst crowd in sports ...
you mean the sGOAT
@@ricardolombardini no, I meant the GOAT.
That's karma for sure and I'm French but I can't bear this elitist bully attitude.
@@ricardolombardini not the sGOAT, uncaught Lance Armstrong would describe his case better.
There's no medical explanation to his mysterious 'injuries' and then impressive comebacks immediately out of injury, or his superhuman physical endurance (even at old age and after many 'injuries') that makes him so superior in clay.
Because talent-wise, he's clearly behind not only from Federer, but also from other great tennis players.
Rafa is the reason why I keep watching tennis. Rafa not only shows the world a great champion he is but also teaches the world to be a respectful and respectable person.
Make sure you peep out Exceptional Talent tv🎗New sports channel
Have you noticed how most of the true champions in any sports also display the very best in sportsmanship.
They know their value and they also know that one day someone better will come along.
Personaly my favourite tournament to watch, but incredibly disrespectful crowds.
Have some respect for those guys and girls that trained their whole life to get on a tournament as big as this.
It's disgusting
The mental strength of Rafael Nadal is unmatched with the current league of players. It is amazing this 19 year old was able to keep his composure, against Grosjean and the entire French crowd, to go on and win the match convincingly! He now has 13 French Open titles. Nadal Is My Champion!
Rafa is a mental fortress..And I love it..Vamoss my champ..Love u forever.. ❤😍❤
Clearly
@alirizaa I so agree with every word you wrote. Jadore him!
Impressive at only 18 Rafa seems to be thinking, "These people are being weird, no?" as the crowd does everything they can to rattle him, then just barrels through the havoc and keeps going until he wins.
@@slc2466 Exactly..He is like, Fuck them..Lol
Here after AO 22 rafa’s win and daniil’s complaints that the crowd was against him. Ans Rafa digested the bitterness and hostility from the crowd at 18 yrs age and become their master achiever at RG. What a feat!👍👍👍
To bad that uncle Tony was not there to witness slam #21 today. I don’t know why uncle Tony left to do other stuff than be in nadal’s box.
Tony now is working in the Rafa Nadal Academy
I felt so bad for Hingis man...Huge respect for Rafa BTW.
Best teenage player ever!!!
Without a doubt. He was unbeatable on clay when he plays at his best in that time period

Wow ! I am a huge fan of tennis but yet I did not know this happened to Rafa but obviously this was before he won 12 French Open titles and now the crowd love him so I know that would not happen now. Well done on making this video, you are making a lot of unique videos about tennis that I have not seen before, and you are now one of my favourite tennis UA-cam channels. Keep up the good work WivoRN Productions, and continue to post regularly, we need some entertainment since there might not be any tennis for a while ! By the way I love your commentary on your videos !
Thank you so much for the kind words mate ❤️
Roger Federer tells us he is a huge fan of tennis.
Luca de Paris Just in case people forget, I have not lost interest since I started playing tennis as a kid and I will come back stronger than I ever have before from this injury and coronavirus break and I will ignore the haters saying I should retire ! I am the biggest fan in tennis 🎾😃
me parece increible que roger conteste!!!!!!
Go check A0 2017. Nadal pretty much ihave almost equal treatment against Roger.
Indeed Fedtards are those who invented theory Nadal is better only on clay.
I've seen that match and I became a fan instantly. I was only 17 and I am still a Rafa fan to this day, probably because he is usually so composed, he doesn't like arguing and whenever he does it, he is right all along. I don't think there's any other player like him and Roger out there, and there will be a long time until someone like them will come into this sport. I am so happy I got to witness Rafa's greatness and the Fedal rivalry :D. I only regret not ever seeing him play a match live, but maybe it's for the best, probably I would have fainted from the tension lol.
"Filipino pageant fans are the worst."
French Tennis Fans: *Hold my champagne*
Mama mo panget
As a swiss Tennis fan I surely recognized when that young powerful spanish left-hander appeared in "Roger's territory". And to be honest: there have been many situations I hated him so much (especially Wimbledon 2008). But as a true tennis fan I am thankful to have seen the greatest rivalry in tennis history and as a honest human I can not do different than pull my hat and spend huge respect to his sportive achievements and also his personality off-court.
Roland Garros 2022 is soon. Vamos, Rafa, for GS title #22! You've proofed, You can do it on every surface, but RG deserves it - as well as You do!
They were more interested in booing than in realizing they were witnessing history and the making of the best clay player ever.
...and he became the most loved and respected atp player in RG🤗👍
Outstanding video. Thank you. This is a must watch for all those who love Rafa. Talk about mental toughness at the age of 18! Unbelievable! Love Rafa whether he wins of loses. The ultimate sportsman, full of class and humility. Hope he wins one more RG
I'm French and I can tell you 99,99% of us love Rafa Nadal, the rest doesn't know who is Rafa Nadal...
After he won this match right?I bet if he lose,you french will hate and boo him forever.

Rest is history.. Indeed! He is a bullfighter, who is humble!👏👏
I love when revenge speaks much and I love that Rafa destroyed the fans and the opponent
Medvedev should watch this video... we love you Medvedev just keep going and keep fighting learn from Rafael and you will be love soon by the crowds.
It's nice how the music sounds like something documenting a supernatural event because in all honesty that's exactly what Nadal's resolve and will power are-supernatural!!!
I don't get it, why people give race of a person more importance than his personality :( A teen like Rafa should be respected & encouraged everywhere in the world.
But he is Spanish. And the French have always hated us Spaniards because they envy us
@@adrianaguirre7982 The only thing French people could envy about Spaniards is Fuentes.
First time seeing this Grosjean clip. What mental strength in his youth! No wonder why he's won so much. Vamos Rafa forever!
Thanks for this! I didn't know about that 4th round match with Rafa being booed.
After 12 Roland Garros titles, Rafa has tamed the French crowd! You can't intimidate the Beast! 🐂💪🇪🇦
Nadal was booed many time in his career.
@@stuewz why?
No Sirve His play style back then rubbed people the wrong way for a number of reasons. He didn’t play like he does today, he used to be a lot more defensive (like a LOT more defensive) & hit a lot more moon balls, which was pretty brand new at the time. Tennis in the 80s & 90s was very fast, usually involving serve & volley if it wasn’t a slow surface, & in the 00s was a lot of attacking baseline tennis going for winners off approach shots & such. So his play style was seen as “not the ‘right’ way” to play tennis, & the moon balls were seen as pushing the ball. Plus, he was a grunter, & grunting is annoying. Lastly, he’s not graceful, & the French love the players with flair. The reason players like Kuerten & Federer are loved by the French is because of their style, not their results. This is also why French players are typically more flashy & showy with their shots (Tsonga, Gasquet, Monfils, Paire).
All of that led to a rough relationship for Rafa for the first 5 years or so. It was around 2011 that they finally started to warm up to him. If I remember correctly, he even said in an interview that year something along the lines of how that tournament is the most important tournament to him, & he doesn’t understand why he gets booed, because all he wants to do is play for them. Either way, around 2011 or 2012 is when it started to change & the French really started to appreciate they were witnessing a legendary dominance never before seen & probably will never be seen again.
His play style in the last decade has become less defensive & more all-around too, which is more palatable for the average fan to watch. His English (& French) has improved tremendously. The way he conducts himself off the court has gotten more coverage as he got older, people began to see what a genuine guy he is.
So basically slowly but steadily his image improved. Which is why in 2015 when he lost, it was deadening silence (unlike 2009, when everyone wanted the upset to happen). It felt like the crowd had lost a family member or something that day. Today he is loved by the French, but he certainly had to earn that love.
Hope this answers your question.
@@sasook yes, thanks. Anyway, french crowd, 🤮ugh. Ty for the answer
@@sasookfrench públic its a shame🤮
"Just a teenager" , but that teenager beat one of the best clay court players in his prime, Coria in a thrilling 5 setter in Rome. I get that being young is tough in certain situations, but please, even at 18, Rafa had tremendous mental strength. I think the only player on clay that could hang with Rafa, in the early 2000's was Coria. There weren't a lot of great clay court players when Rafa came in, and that has allowed him to take advantage of the situation.
Novak Djokovic deserves his own video about this. He has been fighting against crowd through the whole career.
Exactly. People never give credit to him for REGULARLY going against the crowd, commentators and opponents and still managing to win, many times from the brink of defeat. He's TOUGH!!
It makes him play better though.
@@lgeiger Fuck you Amerikano
Earlier in his career there were instances of him showing gamesmanship and a lot of unsportsmanlike behavior. In some places it's still bad (not horrible by any means) but it's not like that didn't come out of no where, he built a reputation that wasn't good at all, just saying.
@@drtash21 You get treated the way you treat others. You've either never seen the real Novak in his initial pro years, or just a fanboy riding it like a little b*tch. He was unsportmanlike, thus no one that truly follows/respects the sport does not respect him no matter how good he is. He can grab 22 GS, 9 Wimbledons, over 102 single's tourney's yet he's never going to go down in history as one of the best.
They were totally against him the very next year in his second round match with Mathieu. Also a four setter. Nadal won that too. And the title. Year by year he just made those haters his best fans. 😊
I wad actually gonna include it as well but the video was gonna be way too long
@WivoRNProductions then make another one your videos are great!
He's playing against a french, what do you expect? People to cheer for Nadal vs Paul-Henri Mathieu? They never hated Nadal, you should check your assumptions. Never ever did they hate Nadal. They were cheering for the french on 2nd round and then were protesting against the umpire (who made the right choice on his decision btw). You can see how the crowd is cheering for Nadal instantly as soon as he doesn't play a french if you check those matches, even on his first ever Rolland Garros.

Heather and no idiots shouting for no reason
@Heather lacks a bit of passion and spirit tho imo. Just like watching football with no crowd. But the matches were indeed enjoyable :)
Wow, I didn't know that Rafa got booed by the French crowd. How rude and disrespectful. When I was living in France and watching the French sport anchors make a comment about how Kei Nishikori is a sushi and ninja, I was like he would have been so fired in the US for his racist remarks.
Let's be real, the French crowd hated Serena in that match vs. Henin because Serena had just taken Mauresmo behind the woodshed the prior match.
What do you mean by taken
Yeah she took it to Mauresmo with no mercy, wish she could've pulled through the match, but hey she's already the GOAT
because she’s black
Rata is a very respectful athlete. He deserves all the praises he achieves
Rafa, You are awesome. Muy orgullosa de ti siempre.
Also I want to add that Rafa usually stays so focused on his match, he couldn't care less what the crowd says. They can boo him and many times he won't even hear them and at the end even bow to the crowd xD. This is how it is to actually not give a f** about what others say and do your thing. I wish to be more like that, but I'm not, I would have started crying and left the game lmao.
Unlike what any athlete would do and also with 18 years in the face of such rudeness from the public, it would be to get pissed off and turn around and say something to them. But if there is something that has always differentiated Rafa, no matter his age, it is that he is a complete LORD, sure of himself and in his world, he is not going to measure up to tremendous disrespectful idiots.
And that 15000 became his Fans!!! 😂👏😍😍😍
15 years later and Rafa is the King of the French Open
I started watching tennis in 2012 I’ve never seen Serena’s earlier matches only heard stories. I’m in shock.
Worst crowd in the world EVER
Excellent video. I learned a lot watching it.
I love this channel and I love - thank you 💖
Medvedev should see this, he's not the only one being booed.

@@WivoRN Yes, I'm starting to fear for a cancelation scenario! Let's hope it won't come to that. I would love to see a classic Nolé-Rafa final.

@@minyrar7107 I still think Nole in top form is too much for Thiem, even on clay. But whoever has to face Domi in the semi's won't be too happy about that.
minyra r Maybe both lol
The French crowd actually came around on Sharapova but they hated her for years. After her injury I think they started appreciating her. As for Rafa, up until about 2010 they didn’t like him all that much. Even the press was harsh on him by calling his style low class. Tbh I think it had more to do with the fact that he kept beating Fed than anything.
Whew! I know the French crowd can be brutal, but those instances were ridiculous! I remember the Serena - Henin match. I couldn’t remember what exactly happened until I saw this clip. I can’t believe Roger, of all ppl, being dissed? That’s a rarity. And Rafa, always with class. Now he has battled the crowd (and opponents) eleven more times to hold the champion’s trophy. He may be unmatched for posterity.
"I know the French crowd can be brutal. . . "
That's what happens when you're uncivilised, immature and arrogant.
However, what I notice is how the officials never did anything to address this behaviour, thus it seems evident to me it's part of the French psyche.
Sometimes stereotypes are based on fact.
Carbon Proksi I not quite sure if your statement is regarding the spectators, or me personally. I’m going to assume you meant the crowds 😊. I do agree generalizations can be based on factual occurrences. But to be clear, however, I did not mean to stereotype the French as a whole.
@@707ladytee Yes, the French crowd.
I agree. Stereotypes don't relate to every person of a country, but it helps explain when a group acts in a similar manner.
Carbon Proksi Of course they do not, but that’s whole idea of it - the assumption. However your points are valid once more 😊.
@@707ladytee Please clarify as I don't understand your first sentence.
I can't imagine Medvedev against this crowd. That'd be a fucking bloodbath.
Rafa was perfect here. Crowd booed him, no reaction. He was so professional in the way he closed the game. ❤️🙏😎
As a french i can tell you that i know way more people loving Nadal than any other tennis player right know (even french players !). Seing Nadal playing at RG is a dream for a lot of tennis fan in France. That's a bit sad to see people in the comments saying things like "Karma, he won 13 times". He is loved and respected in France. I remember 1 time being at RG seing a game of Novak (i wanted to see Nadal but impossible to had a ticket for his match...). Rafa was playing in an other tennis court at the same time. We could hear the announcer saying the names of the players while entering the other court.
When "Rafael Nadal" was heard to enter the court next to us, the court i was shouted Nadal's name and gave a great standing ovation. A girl next to me was crying because she couldn't get a place to see Nadal playing. I think a lot of people know that they are lucky to see him playing and winning right know. Sure the french crowd was obviously direspectful to Nadal this year 2005. Yes, french crowd can be rude and have innapropriate attitude and it happens more than it should. But they can also sharing love during this competition (for example, Guga). Not everyone in France love him. But everyone respect him (and a lot love him). So no, we are not angry at all to see him winning. On the contrary, we are lucky and happy to seeing and enjoying this legend at RG.
That's basically "if you can't beat them, join them".
Nothing to be pride of.
The true respect is to respect someone since the beginning, not after he wins x times...
@@fullenergika I don't get your point. Your sentences are clearly not appropriate and show a strange anger from you.
The title of the video clearly directs the point of view by indicating that Nadal was hated. That's wrong. It's just that his opposite was a French player. So it's logical that the public gives more support to the French player (and let's not lie, it happens everywhere in all countries and its logical).
It is also logical and normal that the public takes more and more interest in a player who marks his sport. It happens everywhere, in all sports and for all countries.
Every tennis player has been booed in his tennis player career. Nadal is not a special case.
@@kyf-pianoarpeggio620 soderling también es francés?
@@PropositionJoe2292 Also, some people can be tired to see someone (like Nadal) always winning and want to see the underdog winner. Stop being offended because the players from your country (or from your "heart") have been whistled. It happens and will happen to everyone.
@@kyf-pianoarpeggio620 what is not appropiate its for a mob of people to bully an 18 year old who played an amazing match and never disrespected neither the crowd nor the opponent, the french crowd were disrespectful and rude and its typical behavior by them, accept it, get over it, stop making excuses for their disgusting behavior
thank you for putting this crowd into context for his win!
Thank you, Wivorn, for all your amazing videos of Rafa. He is the best person, best sportsman, and you are the best at showing his qualities. Thank you, Susan from St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands
Thank you for the kind words, Susan ❤️
I would’ve done the same thing Federer did. It’s really angering the noise they create during a point where the player should stay focused and needs the most amount of concentration in. Honestly what awful behavior from the French crowds
Thank you so much for your VDO. I like the details that we already forget. Your VDO remind us the great funny memories
Video well made, amazing editing and awesome music!
Thank you for making this video! Vamos Rafa!!!
Sharapova, Serena, Nadal handled French's hostile fans better than Medvedev on rowdy Aus open fans. And they were younger 👍
08:19 Grosjean has "NO RIGHT" to call umpire to check the mark. He clearly continued to play the point.
The thing is french players try to take every advantage from the situation that the crowd is behind them and will do whatever for them to win. So many times the players do simply whatever to get this pathetic crowd boo the umpire or the opponent. Bravo Rafa for handling this.
That's the difference between tennis and other sports, out of bounds is only out of bounds if you don't play it...
@@Marekxk Sebastien grosjean is a great player and respectful player, I don't know why he behaved like that that day (maybe the importance of the match) but now he's a consultant at the french tv and always showed his admiration for the big three and respected every player.
Good videos. I watched another of yours and it was good
Completely forgot about this ... thanks for reminding us and having a great video as a reference.
Nadal and Wiliams silenced haters, Djokovic "Hold my piece of grass" 😄
Nadal was 18 years old here, it shows how great he was under pression, also he was against the crowd in every of his meetings against prime Federer. Djokovic is a grown men now he is much more older and experienced than Nadal was.
@@stuewz Yes i agree, Nadal matured early and that is admirable. But Djokovic faced dislike from crowds all over the world from the very beginning of his career, and until this day that didn't stop, it only intensified. And when you consider who did he have to beat and on what occasions he did it, it kind of dwarfs anything that Nadal had to face throughout his career. No disrespect to Nadal and other players, but if there is a world champion of clutchness Djokovic tops that category by a wide margin.
Pistol Shrimp Studio I respect your opinion, but I don’t agree at all. The one who stopped Federer and all this huge Federer hype back then is Nadal. He had the crowd and the medias against him everywhere as soon as he had to face Federer. You probably don’t remember all the hate Nadal had in that period, he was the most hated tennis player because he was the one who dethroned the people’s champ and it’s very recent that he gained respect because I remember that even in 2013 the crowd was against him everywhere against Federer. People is talking about the biased crowd at Wimbledon 2019, but that’s what Nadal had to deal with throughout his career against prime Federer. I agree that Djokovic is more clutch in the toughest situations, but under pression Nadal is on top.
@@stuewz and novak stopped nadal and now nobody can stop Novak so best ever clutch is novak he beats crowd and players both....
Badass Beast Novak never stopped Nadal of dominating clay and even on hardcourt Nadal is 2-1 at the USO. Nadal stopped Federer in everything in his prime.
I think undoubtedly Rafa, Federer and Djokovic have evolved as men's tennis legends of all time.
Great history lesson, man. Thanks very much!
Excellent post, thank you and I liked your commentary. Best xo
Aww thank you ❤️
Rafa will go down as the best in the history of tennis whether the French like it or not !
no? Federer, Djoko
Zidane presented the 🏆. Nadal silenced the crowd by winning 12 RG that no one could imagine that would be written in history.
And Nadal is a Real Madrid fan too.
How crazy is it, that Zidane still looks the same 17 years after
@13:56 Even Zinedine Zidane the Football maestro took some time to congratulate Nadal. Great athletes appreciate each other.
