Everyone should know this: Nadal never lost two consecutive matches on clay since he was a teen. Not on ATP level, not on Challengers, not even in FUTURES.
@@bamssudardjo2572 Yes Joker is the 2nd best hard court player of all time. Fed no.1. Joker 62 titles, Fed 71. Fantastic results. Roger is the best grasscourt player of all time in ATP. 19 titles. Joker 11th position with 7. Fantastic results!
I like the way, he focused on his goal. His intension is not to win but to be perfect and sincere towards his profession..... Good luck and blessings for 2022 Roland Garros
You're acting like he hasn't been to every final this year except for one tournament which he lost in the semis. You talking like he's still not right up there
@@ghsense2626 this Nadal is not the Nadal despite finals he has played...I d tell Nadal is no more Nadal since 204 except 2017 where he was playing very well
This Nadal is miles better than 2017 Nadal-present Nadal and the fact some people think it's comparable shows how gd he still is that people still can't beat him
@@monstermagnet3150 the difference is u actually couldn't hit a clean winner past him those days as he wld answer with a running forehand pass. These days you can outhit him so he is more vulnerable
@@SJ-di5zu bro he beat a djokovic this 2012 final in 4 sets. And that djokovic was a hell of a lot better on clay than federer in 2008. And not just 2012. Djokovic after 2011 posed a much greater threat on clay against rafa than federer
Yeah, he was kinda peaking. Another thing is he was probably Nadal’s least ideal opponent; someone who opened up the angles and didn’t let him grind it out on the baseline, and he still destroyed him
@@jayzerbeam9733 I wouldn’t go that far lol. I’d say Nadal’s last ideal opponent in 2012 was a big hitter who takes the ball early and is peaking. This guy hit a lot of drop shots, but Nadal is the best drop shot retriever and improvised shot maker when he gets to the drop shot that I’ve ever seen. He was hitting the drop shots really well though, which made it a bit difficult even though Rafa knew they were coming. Nadal just dominated every baseline rally with his forehand and retrieved enough impossible drop shots to break serve.
Rafael Congratulations for your success in Roland Garros 2022..May The Almighty GOD bless you with patience and good health for more matches in future!!!!
+ Match against Monaco in the next round to mention them as if still yesterday, I always say that Rafa 2012 version RG oppressed, considered the best of 2013
There will be seldom persons or situations where words will be minute to elucidate. But still to quote, Rafa is just indomitable. As some one said below, honoring him by replacing Roland Garros as Rafa would be potential gesture to this prodigious player.
Rafa extra ordinary champion on clay . I think no one can equal him.hes the one and only tennis player earning that excellent record on clay. Lets watch out if these young generation.could achieve that record on clay. Inspite of his age hes still.can adopt to his usual dominance on this area. Hopefully to see him more on court in this time that hes not young anymore after all tennis is different without rafa playing. Stay healthy and keep safe legend.
You never compare him with other sports. Every sports have legends and most dominant players like michal phelps, usain bolt, tendulkar, etc . Even in tennis chris evert is more dominant than Nadal on clay.
Good point Mr Kholi every sport is different and have dominant players..Have you heard of a squash player in the 80’s and 90’s called Jahangir Khan? I await your response
I love Nadal, but if we talk about athletes in any sport, Jahangir Khan in Squash and his win record compared to players before and after him is way above. Alas squash is not as popular as tennis.

Novak is the only player can beat Nadal on clay many times the king of clay . No players can do that including roger..
@@bamssudardjo2572 Yes, Joker is the 10th best claycourter in the world. Fantastic results!
Novak has most weeks number 1 in TENNIS HISTORY beyond all tennis legends in TENNIS HISTORY. 370 weeks. Roger 310 weeks n Nadal 209 weeks

Back when Rafa had endless energy. His movement and athleticism were something else back then.
He was younger maybe...

105-3 at Rolland Garros ? Who in what sport is even close. Phenominadal
Miss Hanson I know a sportsman who has an even BETTER record than Nadal! Reply back and I’ll tell you
Make that 112-3
@@adithyanaren519 HAahah epic man!!
he hasn’t mastered clay, he is close to having perfected it.
something unheard of in every realm of endeavor.
it has transcended sport. it is art.
Nadal on clay = A creation of Nature.
I think he was built by Skynet
A freak of nature!!! Insane!! If he had the legs today that he had back in the day. He'd eat other players for breakfast
This Nadal is miles better than 2017 Nadal-present Nadal and the fact some people think it's comparable shows how gd he still is that people still can't beat him
2017 Nadal was not that far imo, just a very different player, also 2020 RG Nadal was pretty good but not THAT good I agree

@@superx1457 2021 Rafa was not the same sadly
Imo Roland garros 2012 rafa was at his peak. Unbeatable. Bruising tennis
RG 2008 and 2017 were better imo
RG 2008.
@@masters.1000 In 2008 Nadal was at his abloute peak on RG. And 2010 was also a fantastic year. In the period 2008-2013 he was at his best
To give reference, 2008 Rafa beat Federer 6-1 6-3 6-0 compared to this guy he beat 6-1 6-3 6-4. 2008 Rafa was different.

When Nadal plays, just sit and enjoy ! I don’t even understand those comparisons with others, he’s in his own league, no one plays like him !
Pls upload more of his matches 👍
Rafa a su máximo nivel.
Thanks for upload

Big fan of Cristiano and Rafa but CR7 in Champions League isn't even close to Nadal on Clay... Madness
13:18 LMAO
I hate RG night session, low bounce, 2005 2006 2007 until 2019, all final played on day session...2020 and 2021 worst RG.
5 madrid
10 rome
11 montecarlo
12 barcelona
13/14 rolandgarros
Who has them ?? !!
Idk but Djokovic and Federer have a good amount of world tour finals titles
14🙏🙏😍😍
Aleksandr Karelin at wrestling... look him up.
go watch boring wrestling.
You never compare him with other sports. Every sports have legends and most dominant players like michal phelps, usain bolt, tendulkar, etc . Even in tennis chris evert is more dominant than Nadal on clay.
Just 7 RG, chill. Nadal is absolutely UNIQUE.
Good point Mr Kholi every sport is different and have dominant players..Have you heard of a squash player in the 80’s and 90’s called Jahangir Khan? I await your response
Chris Evert more dominant on clay...Wow what have you been smoking...She ONLY got 7 titles at RG...
Phelps is the only one who can compare to this.
Why was he better at clay??
I love Nadal, but if we talk about athletes in any sport, Jahangir Khan in Squash and his win record compared to players before and after him is way above. Alas squash is not as popular as tennis.
