very happy for Nuno Borges. Came up to the pros the hard way, played college tennis did really well, then ITF, did well, then worked really hard and won several challengers, now on ATP big boy tour full time in 2024, had an amazing Australian open run (beat Dimitrov et al) and now wins his first ATP title in his first final. Very humble person, he took a picture with my little son just mins after he had a disappointing loss in a first round grass tournament and gave him a big smile. I know this comments section is mostly about Rafa fans demanding unreasonable results from Nadal but I'm here to say Congrats Nuno, supper happy for you, and hope you have more success!
And Nadal fans, yeah sure he's king of clay blah blah but this is a sport, with small margins, and getting back to top form takes time, at least respect the athlete you support and the hard work he's putting in, instead of telling to retire because you can't contain your disappointment sitting on your couch.
@@loganthewolverine2030 yeah this comment section is full of either Nadal haters or Nadal supporters saying Borges is weak and beat an old Nadal.
All of them sitting on their couch with their huge bellys complaining.
Talk is cheap.
I mean yes Nadal is the king of clay, but he just got back you know, you should not disrespect people that just got back from injuries, Yes he is the King Of Clay But why did you need to say blah blah blah, nonsense, but yes your right, i like your decision about nadal, but this sport needs potential, experience, glad thing nadal still fought for the title, even though he was injured that bad, and had a 4 hour marathon match, but im happy what you say (no offense) 😊
Nuno played amazing, his drop shots are just immaculate. Congrats on his first ATP Title !!!!
Well said I totally agree with your comment and yes we need less of the blah blah from the keyboard jockeys that's for sure.
Stop lying about the pic bruh
Saw this match live. Rafa was a shadow of even the Rafa we’ve seen earlier this week. The long matches has really taken a toll on him. I’m just so thankful to have witnessed him for a whole week, and happy that his body has held up. VAMOS ❤🎉
Eh I dunno. He struggled in that 4 hour match too against a far less trong opponent than Borges.. So yeah it prob took a toll but his level this entire week was obviously far from his peak its just that now he faced a better quality opponent and then it really shows
@@ilax3071 Are u new to tennis ? At age 38 not every players can win 4 hour match and win the next match 3hr and play in finals without rest ..that guy Borges is young and not fatigued like rafa ..
@@ilax3071 I disagree that Borges is stronger than Navone. He is ranked higher and is a clay specialist. Borges has worse ranking and is a hard court player
You dont' have the same legs/speed at 38 that you have at 21 or even 30. He didnt' play bad but the younger player just outlasted him and played really well timed drop shots which a younger nadal would have easily returned. Nadal knows it's time but he is delaying it until one last shot at Olympics and then US Open. If he doesnt retire in 2024 at some point after US Open, I would be surprised.
@@ilax3071 also Navone was the 4th seed at the tournament, Borges was 7th seed. So it’s just incorrect
SPOILER BLOCKER
Dang thanks man
Thank you
Was so disappointed in the result but YOU’RE DOING GODS WORK
Let's be real here, If Nadal won he would be on thumbnail. I already knew he lost when I saw that they put the two players.
Thank you!
Congrats to Nuno! Classy speech. Rafa battled hard, but hard to see him winning another title or playing beyond 2024.
He made it to a final with such little recent playtime. He has a shot at 250 titles on clay undoubtedly.
@@FoolwithouthumilityNot sure 250 level titles guna cut it for Rafa in all honesty, let's hope this is good for his fitness and can improve again
@@Foolwithouthumility "Has a shot at 250 titles on clay" isn't a phrase we ever expected to hear about Nadal. Not to mention that there won't be any more of those until 2025.
No, he has no shot as for winning a 250 event, he should win atleast 3 matches in a row and given his age as well as his brain has rotten. He can win only if he is relaxed & if cope with daily atp matches 3 days in a row. @@Foolwithouthumility
@@kamal_antilwhat's his brain rotting from?
Goosebumps seeing the hug. You just know this man has beaten his long time idol, winning his first tournament at the same time.
He beat a literally shell of his former self.. that guy blows
he is a roger fan btw
@@RafanTasTiiiC Ain't we all
@@asphaltcowboy7567do better than him then lol talk is cheap
@@theviniso you’re goddamn right
What a great honor for the young man, reaching his first ATP final, and defeating the GOAT on clay for his first championship trophy. And good looking to boot, too!!
À great honour? Nadal is currently 160 ATP, Winning against Nadal on clay when he was fit and in the top 10 yeah but wining against him at 37 back from an injury is not an honour..
@@simonbaker5498 You literally argued against yourself and came out on tops.
@@lkjhgasdfa merci
@@simonbaker5498 Nadal is 38
LOL! GOAT don't loose to no body.
Good battle. Borges came with a plan and execution. His drop shots were deadly.
I am still felling happythat Rafa has come back till Finall... dont give up Rafa... keep strong and move...warm regard and strong praying from Indonesia
It's time for retirement 🤷🏼♂️ are you serious what are you talking about
He needs to start playing every tournament, big and small until the French Open comes. He might become a better hard court player late in his career.
Borges looks very humble. Congrats for his first ATP title. He played amazing tennis - big hitting, love it 💪
Love it that Nuno won! Great player! He used Nadal's difficulty moving to great effect
Grande Nuno Borges!!! Representando Portugal no mais alto nível e ganhar ao grande Nadal. impressionante
나달의 결승경기를 아직 볼 수 있다는 것만으로 행복합니다. 더이상 못볼 마지막 날이 다가오는 거 같아 슬프기도 합니다. 우승자에게 축하합니다...😊
그래도 무사히 결승전까지 온 것은 유망한 일이라고 생각해요. 나달 좀 더 볼 수 있으면 좋겠네요~
its clear that Rafa was exhausted from the last three sets two matches. he is 38, can't manage such a pressure anymore
Probably lack of match play is also a factor.
You just know that whenever he meets someone half good he’s going home.
@@msalvshe beat noorie
Don't forget he also played doubles this week
Sure that but also he simply can’t get depth on his shots it’s so weird to watch Nadal play like this. Also his shots don’t kick up like they used to even when short.
first round: Borg
Final: Borges
That es made all the difference.
@@aBeatleFan4ever ok both done ^^^thx ;)
Jorge Luis Borges is a superior tennis player than Borg, so understandable.
Yeah Jason Vorghes is more deadly player lol @@jameswalker6864
@@jameswalker6864 Just like how the Borg are superior to humans
Fantastic result for Nuno Borges - congratulations! Couldn't find a more fulfilling opponent to seal his first ATP final over. The nerves would have been incredible, but he steadied and showed his amazing brand of tennis. More from Nuno!! Awesome!
Felicidades a ambos ! A borges por el titulo y a Rafa por su excelente mejoría..Buena preparacion para los juegos
Huge game by Borges. Congrats to him! I think there are many disrespectful comments here. Nadal has played great tennis this week. Reaching a final after all his struggles in recent years is a huge achievement. All these people don't recognize the greatness of other players - even Nadal at his prime lost games against lower ranked players on clay.
True
Yes Nadal has stats that most other tennis players will never even come close to..
@@bigchainring1977 Yes. But Nadal is over 38 years old. He has to be tired after tough battles against Norrie, Navone and Ajdukovic. But he produced in Bastad awesome tennis.
NUNOOOOOOO 🎉🎉🎉🙌🏻🏆
Nice win to your first title in 2 sets!!
nuno drop shots were amazing....even nadal couldnt even react to some of those
Rafa's style is exhausting for a 38 yrs old man, so much topspin in every shot you make + building up the points with speed, angles and grit.. Glad he still manages to play decently
I think Borge’s calm demeanor will take him deep in big tournaments
He wont. This entire match was entirely Rafa being dread tired and making too many errors. He didnt show me anything really.
@@Dark_Voice well remember he reached fourth round Australian open 2024 beating Davidovich Fokina and Dimitrov on the way, which I think are quality and experienced players. Rafa wasn’t as he was like he started the tournament but this guy is still headstrong and credit to him.
@@Dark_VoiceNo, You don't only saw errors from Nadal, you saw a old Nadal that can't defeat the strong Borges right hand forcing Nadal commit errors!
@@Dark_Voice Dude you should be banned of commenting with such idiocy comment. He won't? Do you even follow Borges? Did you even know him before or had any idea his playstyle? You guys comment about players you have no idea who they are, besides the most famous players when they are on the top.
Borges was the best player in US college when he used to play in NCAA. Even though he is 27, he only started playing the Tour later due to college. He went to 4th round Australian Open defeating Dimitrov and Fokina in top form, and only losing to Medvedev in 4 tight sets. Do not speak like that about players when you have no knowledge, its very disrepectul for any player who has sacrificed their whole teenage years to pursue their dreams. Your opinion can be shared only when you have a glimpse of the player
Except every single 250, 500 or 1000 ATP tournaments with Zverev or Medvedev or Jannik or or Caspar or some lucky dude i think named Carlos, & don't mention Grand Slams... fuggetaboutit...
Parabéns ao Nuno pelo nível de tênis apresentado e por não deixar o respeito pelo oponente deixá-lo abatido. Parabéns a toda a equipa 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Parabéns Nuno!
Huge feat for Portuguese tennis. Sorry for Rafa as he is one of my favourites...
What a Performance!! Congrats Nuno Borges 🎉🎉
Well done, Nuno Borges! Winning his very first ATP final convincingly against Nadal (albeit a far-from-his-prime one) on clay, and now at his highest ATP ranking of 42, still some ways away of reaching the highest ATP ranking for a Portuguese player ever, which is n. 28 for João Sousa, but he is showing form to move further up!
Well done Nuno !
The previous tough 3 set matches caught up with Rafa. He could barely run forward for any drop shots or short balls.
yes it’s true but also maybe Borges drop shots are really good in this match I guess?
@@anS0N1997 Yes they were very good but Rafa would have got to some of them a few years ago. It looked like he didn't even bother trying to run them down in this match.
I know how that feels! 🥵
It cannot be better winning the first ATP-title by beating Rafa... Congrats to Borges! 👍
On clay
It can be better: beating a younger version of Rafa. But congrats to Borges, he played well and deserved the title. Nice guy too.
It's spelled 'congratulations', lol
@@ambientexpanse C O N G R A T S on this comment......................
That guy sux...
It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and opportunity for Borges.
And he enjoyed the experience and used the opportunity!
Great effort from Borges totally deserved
Borges played really well.
Borges did it without grunting too.
Congratulations, Nuno! What a week, culminating in beating Nadal on clay🎉
Loved that reaction from Borges, first incredulous and a second later the victory sinks in and he's on his knees. Well done! 👍
6-3, 6-2.
A Very Dominant Decisive Victory ✌ 👏
Had the chance of getting to know Nuno a little bit at Mississippi State, very nice guy so happy for him.
Congrats to Nuno, from a spaniard Rafa fan!!!!!
Congratulations Borges &: Rafael..
( 38 ) Years - Young..
People acting like he didn’t play like 8hrs of tennis in 48hrs. The fact he’s held up after barely playing is promising. He doesn’t usually play back to back days much anymore. We will see how the Olympics goes
Exactly
Why would he even need to play 8 hours against players we have never heard of ? He simply dropped to challengers level .
@@amrelnaggar4454 he’s 38 and barley played all year. Yall on some shit
@@a_goblue2023 you're a delusional retard . No wonder you support this bull . He will retire after being dismantled from all unknown players lol
@@amrelnaggar4454👆 this
Borges 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !
Well played by the Portuguese - well deserved. But Tennis TV needs to stop wasting valuable highlight time by showing double faults! It does not matter if it is vital break points - nobody wants to spend 20 seconds just waiting for the second serve error!
Funny how quickly tennis fans change their mind. When Nadal and Novak make the finals tennis fans are like ‘wow the GOATS still going strong 💪’ then when they lose it’s like ‘omg end of an era, time to retire old men’
People are binary bots; all or nothing.
A lot of physical exhaustion prior to the final (12 hours of playing on court, double that of his rival) meant that Nadal arrived exhausted and could not do anything against Nuno Borges.
Let's see if in Paris, especially in the doubles category, Nadal can make history with Alcaraz and get a medal for his country, Spain.
I don´t know if it was very wise to play doubles too. That accounted for two extra matches, even though it's not the same a playing singles. Anyway, Nadal and his team know their business better than we. And congratulations to my fellow countryman Nuno.
@@phantomaq Nadal played two doubles matches in this tournament.
Nadal's marathon matches finally took their toll. Congrats Borges.
A week ago, Djokovic lost to Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final. And now Nadal lost to Borges in Båstad. I feel upset that the Big Three era has come to an end
Approved ✔️
dont compara Nole and Rafa
Rafa is a joke without doping he would have been top 300
Difference is Alcaraz is a top 5 player in the world and it was a grand slam. Borges is top 50 and it was a 250 tournament 😂. Big Three Era has been over, only Djokovic remains in good form lol.
Borges won an ATP Tournament without having to play anyone ranked inside the Top 100. That tells you all you need to know...
Listen Novak, watch Novak, dream Novak, you will get better. Learn something from Carlitos! Never understimate and never disparage Novak. He is not finished.
Great win well deserved
Winning is not just the trophy but the spirit to stay and finish the game.
Rafa has nothing to prove but always happy to see him play and for sure all his followers fell the same.
Congratulations to Nuno what an experience to play the king of clay atleast ❤
he was just exhausted...one can clearly see .. a day break would have painted a totally diff outcome... full power comeback rafa soon...
Massive massive massive title for Portuguese tennis, so proud of Nuno!
¡Vamos Borges!👏🇵🇹 Incredible tennis!
6:50; I think that movement after the return sorta summed up the match!!!
at least he had been in finals - and he showed up and didn't get any new injuries! his body is tired but never mind- part of tennis - you win you lose! but no matter what we love King Rafa forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Borges was taking Rafa’s spins on the rise and really flattening-out the ball, robbing Rafa of time. It was a tactically smart plan; surely he knew Rafa would be tired. Still, so great to see Rafa play heroic tennis all week and GREAT to see the fans filling the stadium to support him. Rafa plays-people PAY to watch. Though this was a tough loss, I believe he will go into the Olympics with more confidence … he truly played some gritty ball the past week. That’s got to make him feel good. Rest up, Rafa, and give it your all, as usual.
Not a Rafa fan but will say that he is a class guy, losing and then hugging his opponent and was totally happy for this guy says a lot about Rafa, just a classy guy.🎉🎉🎉
🏆 GRANDE NUNO! 🏆
Take a bow, yes.
Every Legend's career has been like that.. Younger generation kiddos can easily knock them out
Foi mto bom poder saborear as ultimas partidas de Nadal. Sabemos q em breve ele vai deixar as quadras e nos restara apenas os videos no youtube para matar a saudade do rei do saibro. Grande Nadal, q inspira jovens atletas e nos encheu de alegria com suas jogadas espetaculares.
Imagine say that you win your first ever title at the ATP Tour against Nadal 🗿
Rafa ' s massive success was not only due to his Forehand ... It was also due to his fitness, defense and speed .... Post 2014 itself it was on the decline but he has become very slow since 2022.... Full marks to Borges and other players who have defeated Rafa in recent times .... I still believe Rafa has some tennis left but at the same time he would not like to lose too many matches .... The end is near .... Anyways Thank you and love you Rafa ❤❤
Thanks for making Borges famous 😆
He was already quite famous ever since he took down Dimitrov in the Australian Open
Borges has played well throughout the season. To beat Borges, Nadal had to play his best. Indeed, Nadal didn't play his best as he looked tired. Nadal didn't have an answer to his flat forehand shot as he appeared struggling to reach his shot. Courtesy, his slow movement and weak service game.
Grueling match for Nadal, it was so physically demanding. Nuno had a bit of advantage, youth and great skill. Both are champions in my book. This is what makes tennis such a great sport.
Congrats Borges for the win🏆🎉
Great year for this tournament. I am so happy that Nadal the legend was a major part of it / Sweden
It's really success been in final with top ten players! No doubt it's great come back at one of four gram slams, Bravo NadaL❣
Bravo Nuno Borges! Truly a deserved champion. He outplayed Rafa. I still believe in Nadal. Do not give up on him!
His ball hitting is getting back to normal! Match by match, we'll see his stamina return. Lets go rafa!
He actually played very well.. and if you look at how the guys play in such tournaments, in particular, they play even better than the top 10.. They just don't have the mentality at a higher level.. Borges.. He played very well and with such a game he could beat Djokovic and many others
What did he do that was so great. Nole would be a demolishing defeat even with his Wimbledon performances which were not his best due to the surgery.
@@Dark_Voice Look at how he served, how he hit.. Nadal couldn't even hit his serve, he was standing in the corner of the court.. very often, players in such tournaments play much better than in the top ones.. you will see the tournaments where 300 are playing.. there is generally an incredible level of tennis and everything else is a mentality.. the difference between the first and the 500th racket is only in the head.
@@KostyaKai
You're stretching it man
Congratulations to Borges ! Well played and deserved victory.
Nadal visibly tired from his previous matches. Also lacking usual spark and topspin on his forehand. Using his forehand down the line rarely in this match.
I think he would be back at Olympics but would be tough to beat the top players there.
Well Played Rafa❤❤
Todo un lujo haber vencido a Nadal...los años pasan factura. Bien a ambos.!!!👏🏿
Just beating the name Nadal (even if he's considered old in this sport) in his maiden ATP final is both an honor and a lasting memorable moment for Borges.
What a performance❤
Ultimatem for other players well done Rafa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome playing from this guy… congratulations no nerves whatsoever
I have become a fan of Swedish Tennis fans. They are so respectful and fair.
it's like the second coming of Soderling. The similar big wing span swing and just smacking the ball hard non-stop.
Rafa is never be the same again 🥹🥹
Wow. 😮
Great match 😊
Never heard of Borges. I just came to see where Nadal's game was. I think making this final speaks very well of him. He has been inactive and faced injury for a long while now. He seemed to play very well in this tourney. If I were him, I would be encouraged.
Rafa played 7 matches in 7 days .
That's quite unusual for him.
Rafa looked to be worn out from his earlier matches. He still had a lot of opportunities that slipped away in this match. Would be interesting to see him play this match with a fresher body.
🇵🇹 Borges! 🇵🇹
Happy too see nadal back in action, Borges is a very talented player hes fast, but gets erratic with his balls sometime, Nadal glad too see you back in action VAMOS!
Borges looks totally stunned! And no wonder: Not everyone can boast of beating Nadal -- even a diminished Nadal -- on clay.
Borges won an ATP Tournament without having to play anyone ranked inside the Top 100.
@@huzcer if Nadal won he would win without beating top 35 player and you would act like he won Wimbledon
@@seadkapic4768 I'm definitely not a Nadal fan
@@huzcer Sure, buddy. That's why you're trying to discredit Borges under every second comment on this video.
@@AD-nq2nz when has someone last won an ATP title beating nobody inside the Top 100 in any round to do so?
We have a new king of clay. This man will dominate the French open for the next 2 decades
congrats to Nuno. after that whole debacle with Garin earlier this year it's nice to see the universe give him some joy for once😂
sad for Rafa tho. His backhand has never been my favorite but boy ive never seen him hit that shot with such little depth. it was picked apart from first point to last😢
Not too shabby for a first title😮
Diferente da final de Hamburgo, vimos aqui um jovem tenista vencer uma das lendas do tênis e cumprimentá-lo, como deve ser, né?! Lá terminou com certa animosidade entre Fils e Zverev... achei o Fils um tanto desrespeitoso durante a partida, mas vamos nos ater a esse jogo; achei que a partida da semifinal demandou muita energia pro Nadal. Ele teve que lutar muito e sofreu pra vencer o jogo; isso o deixou desgastado para o essa final. Parabéns ao Nuno. Bela exibição... jogou muito bem.
Congratulations to Nuno for his 1st title. He's actually pretty good for someone that has just now earned their first trophy. And Rafa... Well done for reaching the final, basically carried it on his name and reputation. Game wise he's a shadow of his former self.
A young man looking for his first title against an old man looking for his last. I’m a fan of Nadal, but I am not sorry Borges won. It is time.
É triste, quando não se valoriza e pouco aplaude os pontos bem ganhos, por Nuno.
Público fraco, desportivamente.
Aprendam com os ingleses. Parabéns ao Nuno, desde o Funchal
Bem dito! Grandes pontos, cada amorti!!!
Claramente estavam à espera que o Rafa ganhasse fácil. Temos pena...
Foi um bocadinho constrangedor ouvir para aí umas 27 pessoas a aplaudir os pontos do Nuno. Percebe-se as preferências, mas que diabo... só quem nunca jogou sabe que o valor duma vitória é proporcional à luta dada pelo adversário e daí que fosse no mínimo simpático aplaudir os esforços dos dois por igual, ou pelo menos que disfarçassem.
Borges played a solid match and Nadal wasn't so sharp as yesterday. Still at 38 reaching the final is not too shaby !
Hard luck rafa ... congrats nuno ..
❤
Great highlights, except for match point. Camera operators (or directors?) are often clueless about how to cover the game. The overall picture is most important.
Well done Borges!
this Borges plays like Novak. I always respect Rafa's sportmanship.
Well done Nuno I’m impressed I must say❤😀
1:16 look at his footwork: age hitting him hard!
