No one brings the same aura and electrifying presence to a tennis final quite like Rafael Nadal. His energy, passion, relentless fighting spirit, and above all humility, have left an indelible mark on the sport. You will be sorely missed by tennis fans everywhere!
I will never forget you Rafa, a great champion, fighter, warrior and overall a great man. Thank you for bringing so much joy and a few tears in my life. I wish you and your family all the happiness.
I knew something special this man was. I saw him the first time playing pro i knew he was a special player. Knew he has GOAT status. Happy Retirement Rafa! You dont have anything else to prove brother.
The best for me a man that has never given up the way he payed the game rafael nadal thank you for giving me the opportunity to watch you . I will miss you.
Always our champion! Happy retirement Rafa, and thank you for all those years of hard work for you, and wonderful anticipation & exciting tennis for us, and an amazingly long and successful career 🙏💛♥
2 Australian opens 2 Wimbledons 4 Us opens 14 French Opens 2 Olympic Gold's 5 Davis Cups 36 Masters 1000 ONLY MAN IN TENNIS HISTORY TO REGISTER 480+ VICTORIES ON BOTH HARDS AND CLAY
Yes, all those achievements are truly amazing. In 2010, he was also the first man to win three slams on three different surfaces in one year. We salute you Rafa! ❤
@@wimzswimz9843none, tbh in the era of RF and ND he shouldn’t have 6 hard court GS or any weeks as world number 1, as the season is predominantly hard court - over 6000 points more on hard courts than clay, he achieved way more than anyone predicted not just in tournament wins but also longevity- although his career was decimated by injuries
Also the only man to finish the year in the top ten for 18 consecutive years (2005-2022). Also the only man to finish the year in the top two 13 times. Also has the most consecutive wins on a surface (81). Also has the best W% at the Grand Slam tournaments - winning 22 GS singles titles out of 68 entered (.324 W%). Novak has won 24 out of 76 entered (.316 W%). Roger won 20 out of 81 entered (.247 W%).
@@wimzswimz9843 - The year end tournament is played on a fast indoor hard court... which heavily favors Rafa's opponents. If it were held on clay - Rafa would probably have 14 of those titles. If it were held on a medium or slow hard court - Rafa would probably have 3 or 4 of them. The year end event should rotate surfaces... then Rafa would likely have 8 or more ATP Finals titles
The reason why i watch tennis is because of Nadal. He is the only player i have been supporting for all these years. I don't think tennis will be as exciting anymore for me without Rafa.
It's not exciting without RAFA. There's a reason he's the most beloved TENNIS player in the world. He is the game and watching him play is why we love sports in general. That's just FACTS.
Rafa's genius on court and his legacy of passion, hard work, of never giving up and time-and-again grabbing victory out of the jaws of defeat, transcends tennis, it even transcends sport. He is one of the most inspirational human beings and greatest role model of our times. 👑🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡👑
This is where it all started for me getting behind this guy as a diehard and USO 2010 will always remain my favorite moment of Rafa’s career. Something so special about Rafa in New York since this first title run in 2010. Always gave him his GOATiest kits for his night matches here and his intensity and electricity of the New York crowd was such a match made in heaven. This particular tournament was so awesome to watch looked like an assassin and played like a man on a mission. Booming shots off both wings while serving 130+ bombs. We often ask of generational athletes what if older more refined and experienced versions of them had their younger body and physicality and I think 2010 USO Rafa is exactly that with the aggression of 2017 and beyond Moyadal while still being at his physical peak and the product was such an awe inspiring watch. What a ride it’s been and he’s spoiled us rotten for so long. Been an absolute pleasure to stan this gift of a human being 🫡.
@@Bowl849everyone should also agree that rafa in his prime was the best version of tennis player on clay preaty much unbeatable on grass he was constatly making finals even winning prime roger on hard he could beat both novak and roger roger was actually a easy game for him leading 3-0 in AO and 2010 us open was the highest level at least at us open with this powerfull serve which he unofrtunatly had to stop using due to shoulder discomfort
After the semifinal, which was on Sept 11, the players spoke a bit. Rafa was asked about when he got his first ranking point. He was 15 at the time, but instead of talking about that, he told the story of the tournament he'd played the week before where he'd reached the final and had several match points but lost them all. He was very defected when he went back to the locker room, but he saw on the tv the attack on the Twin Towers. He said "I forget my match in 1 second." He was so shocked and appalled by what he was seeing. What he didn't talk about was that Rafa and his family, mom, dad and sis had made a trip to New York that summer and, as many tourists did, went up to the top floor of the South Tower. He and his beloved family had stood there a few months before the attack! The disaster had a profound effect on the young tennis player. Each time he came to NY for the Open he would quietly make a pilgrimage to the site during the tournament. No cameras, no interviews, just a personal journey. As his fame grew he stopped doing that. A quiet personal journey would have been impossible, I suppose. Rafa is a kind and generous man. His heart (and frequently, donations) goes out to all who suffer, but that one was very personal.
Very hard see him Retiering but it's time too many injuries last couple years. Time enjoy your family and free time. Thank q for being the athlete never gave up look up u so much. Xox
Nadal was my inspiration. Started when watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Rafael (red) was my favourite, making Nadal my fav tennis player. I used to watch his matches at Wimbledon an das a tennis player myself, I found it inspirational. I am disappointed he’s retiring but we have a new Spaniard for Spain.
Know that one day Nadal would retire, but it is still hard to accept it. Greatest tennis player Nadal will be remembered all the time.

I don't think there will be another player with more repercussions in and outside the tennis world. Rafa has made an unparalleled impact on this sport. Having said that, it's beautiful to see in this video Novak's sportsmanship. Two of a kind.
I become emotional whenever retirement comes to mind. I offer my heartfelt apologies to those who, after years of diligent work and saving for retirement, faced unexpected events that led to significant losses. This situation is especially harsh for retirees
Today, it’s easier to figure out how to improve your retirement savings. With inflation, you can use a professional portfolio manager to explore different markets passively. The impact of US dollar shifts on assets is complex
Even if finance isn't your strong suit, you can always bring in an expert. My $850,000 retirement fund took a nosedive in April, but I quickly called in a financial advisor. They crafted a smart plan to turn things around, and I’ve since pocketed over $250,000!
There are a few standout experts in this field. I’ve tested out a handful over the years, but June Renae Matthysse has been my top pick for the last five years. Her performance is consistently impressive, and she’s a real name to know in the industry. Check her out
I found her contact information, emailed her, and arranged a call. Fingers crossed she responds. I plan to start next year with a solid financial footing
Roger Federer won half of his Grand Slams (10) when Nadal still had 3 and he had 12 when Novak won his first. When Novak started winning, he won his 24 Grand Slams while Roger won 8, three times as many. But Nadal faced Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in the Prime Time of both and won his 22 Grand Slams against the best version of both. Nadal was the second of the ‘big three’ to win all 4 Grad Slams. He was the first of the ‘big three’ to win the ‘Golden Grand Slam’. He has the best percentage of Grand Slam finals won of the ‘big three’. Between Djokovic and Nadal, Djokovic leads in total head-to-heads (32-29), in finals (15-13), on hard court (20-7) and in Masters 1000 (16-13), but Nadal, meanwhile, leads in Grand Slam matches (11-7), Grand Slam finals (5-4) and on clay (20-10). Between Nadal and Federer, Nadal has 24 wins to Federer's 16. Nadal also has the advantage in the finals in which they have met (14-10), including Grand Slam finals (6-3). Only injuries have prevented him from being the player with the most Grand Slams in history and the best of all time. Forever Nadal, the GOAT
Pretty sure you got some stats wrong. Nadal and Djokovic are 29-31. If you were to count this recent exhibition match, you might as well count the other ones and the doubles matches, cause why not. That would even it all out at 34 a piece. Additionally, he is 20-9 vs Djokovic in clay, not 20-10. One of the most remarkable achievements is having an 11-7 and 10-4 records over his greatest rivals in the Grand Slams stages.
As a "Rafa-Hater" I must say it was my honor and privileged to see the unique Tennis genius of Nadal. His completely original style of play can never be duplicated. For all Tennis fans it's a sad day indeed as we bid our final farewell and thanks for all the brilliant shot-making, competitiveness and vicious Topspin. LONG LIVE THE KING OF CLAY NOW AND FOREVER!!👑🎾
This is great tribute because it shows Nadal having to fight for every point and still even losing some. If the editor only showed Nadal hitting winners, it would had been seen as a walk in the park for Nadal, which we know isn't the case for Nadal or for any of the players.
Ofc 😢😂 couldn’t win a set since 2013 against Novak on HC … Novak beat him more times on his beloved clay than Rafa Novak in indoors + outdoors ….. Rafa is the goat of clay
@@asu4817 - GamingPK14 did specifically say "without injuries". It is lucky for Novak that of the 4 grand slams two are on his preferred hard surface and only one is on clay. For seasons 1975-1977 the US Open was played on clay, if it had stayed on clay almost certainly Rafa's GS count would have been beyond the reach of even Novak.

Numbers are numbers and its mandatory to give credit to Novak. But if we talk about aura, charisma, competition, trascendence and legend thats where Rafa and Roger take the lead.
He completed the Career Golden Slam 14 years earlier than Djokovic.... beating: Federer at the AO (best HC player at the time) Federer at RG Federer at Wimbledon (undefeated on grass for 5 years) Djokovic at the USO Djokovic at Olympics on HC Lol clay player they say
Don't really care what people say, or what the numbers (GS count) say... as Rafa is the GOAT! He's the only one that beat prime federer and prime djokovic... Federer and Djokovic won so many GS without all 3 being fit.
@@den_525 It does cuz his title isn't complete. If Djokovic hadn't won any gold Olympic, then he would've been discredited to despite that title is just below ATP Masters. That can be the reason why Djokovic has 219 weeks at no. 1 ahead of Nadal despite he only has 2 GS more than Nadal. Remeber! ATP Finals awards 1,500 points!
@@wimzswimz9843 So what? I don't think Djokovic needed to win Olympic Gold to be one of the goats. Federer never won Olympic Gold, and no one discredit his achievements. People only look at titles as the measurement, but not look any deeper. Rafa's 22 GS were harder than Federer's or Djokovic's, but no one look at that, because it's unfair to say the other players are not on par with them, but you look at the statistics and Rafa had to beat Djokovic or Federer to win a GS significantly more than Djokovic or Federer had to face each other to win their slams. Nadal is the only one that had to go through Federer and Djokovic's prime. Can't be said for the other two.
