Don't forget that he played yesterday 4hrs. And Ajdukovic played similiar to Navone yesterday on a very high level!!!!!! Win no. 1079 for Nadal!
Nadal about to be full HD if he wins the final
Yes, Ajdu played very well, I'm impressed
@@ChrisTennis💯. unbelievable hitting at times
So nice to see Rafa is such good physical condition, moving and hitting the ball with such power. I hope he can finish strong, whenever that is.
and played doubles too
this crowd are having the time of their lives cause Rafa makes this tournament looks better than a grand slam tournament
Playing against people nobody loses to tho
@@mikavieri1253 yes you're genius ,, you know tennis better than anyone else ,, congrats
@@mikavieri1253 against someone who made the semis of a tour event. He's an up and Comer but no slouch by any means.
@@mikavieri1253Navone has made a habit of not losing on clay
@@mikavieri1253 yeah thats why they in semi's of an atp tournament.
massive for rafa
This crowd is probs one of the most friendly and respectful that ive seen.
Equal praise and applause to both players and they don't boo for any matter
Sweden 🎉
I was at this game. There was definitely much more cheer for Rafa. But if Ajdukovic hit a winner he got equal cheer. And definitely no boos or cheers for double fault etc
A certain goooooddd player would still find ways to be pissed at the crowd... 😏
Rafa has not been there for like over 15 years lol. But yes, nice place and people and Avicii music
@@sankaranarayanan616🎻🎻🎻🎻
Nadal is still very tenacious. He hates missing anything.
Victory belongs to the most tenacious❤
It isn't Nadal, but it is "aaa" "yyy", aaa", "yyy"...
Hates loosing 🎉😊
nadal is pathetic!
@@babacool1630yet here you are commenting on one of his matches 😂😂😂 🤡
Well done Nadal! Great to see him playing somewhat well and Into a final again.
He's still constructing points well. Not as much sting on the shots as we're used to, but he's not out there playing a different game. These challenges are good for him leading into the Olympics.
After winning a 4 hour match yesterday, winning again today to make the final is a great sign for Rafael Nadal. Vamos Rafa!
He is playing 60-70% of his 2022 peak and still winning, he is a Gladiator.
More like 40-50%
@@gregorsamsa555 . no, 60-70 is about right.
2022 was everything but Nadal's peak.
@@Leomerya12 60-70 is about right cause 2022 was already barely 60 of Nadal's true peak :D
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 that's what I meant "the peak of 2022" which is an specific "peak" in Nadal career, not Nadal's peak in terms of his entire career..
Oh and congrats to Ajdukovic, he played really really well
Based on the amateur errors he made in these "highlights", I don't think so.
@@masters.1000Maybe watch a whole match then comment
Match of his life lol. Crazy to have that kind of level and still lose. Must have been a shocker to Nadal to see such a high level out of the gate.
@@masters.1000don't be ignorant
Backhand is very strong, Nalbandian like, but smash, volley, serve need to get improvement
Thanks @tennistv for the amazing highlights that are long enough to really appreciate the match. Well done Rafa!
First Final in over 2 years@38. Still competing and fighting for every point, that in a nutshell is Rafael Nadal.
Rafa's emotion toward the end had me in tears for some reason.. like tthey said.. inspirational.. thanks Raf 🤝
Happy for Nadal, and Adjukovic is great player. I think he has potential to be a top 50 in the near future!
Yes, he needs to improve serve, volley and smash. Weak side of his game
Nadal potentially winning a tournament before Djokovic this year is words I didn't think I'd be saying this year is wild!
Always ridiculous comparaison, Djokovic not playing 250 atp. And don't fight 4 hours with a 150s.
@@vicb5915Geneva open? Lost to machac
@@vicb5915 you probably do not know anything about tennis. Rafa will always be better than Novak.
@@vicb5915It’s not a comparison. It’s just facts. He is not saying Nadal is better than djokovic. He is just trying to state that it’s unbelievable that djoko hasn’t been able to win a tourney this year but Nadal probably will win one before him. Even if it’s a 250 event. It’s shocking to think that djoko went half a year without winning a single tournament.
@@vicb5915 Dude shut up so sick and tired of people like you just want to argue over something grand slam masters ATP 500 ATP 250 nobody cares! What I stated is true so Djokovic my fav player wins 3 out of 4 majors runner up at Wimbledon literally a set away from having a calendar year slam doesn't have title in 2024 Nadal missed a whole year shouldn't even be playing and at this time come Sunday be raising the winners trophy smh.
Ajdukovic has a great backhand. Better than a lot of players ranked above him.
Berretini: 👀
Rafa said It was one of the Best BH that he has seen
Where was this? @@arismendyperalta2365
Many players in the top 100 are better than some in the top 30. At that level, it’s more of a mentality issue than technique.
@@FRodriguez_ Ajdukovic is not ranked top 100
Rafa grinding like it’s 08 Roland Farris love it
SAVE FARRIS!
Rafa is the gift that keeps on giving.... Ajdukovic has a brutal backhand. Should be proud how he played.
Everyday Nadal plays feels like Christmas morning as a kid😮
Vomos Rafa, going for the gold at the olympics! 🥇
Yeah, in doubles 👬 with Carlitos
@@gregorsamsa555Maybe Carlos helps the old man Nadal and pulls his shorts out of his ass for him
@@gregorsamsa555and Singles
Rafael has the most exciting style of tennis to watch! My GOAT Rafa! Let's go final tomorrow, Olympics & US open 🇪🇸
Wow, what a great match. I'd never heard of this kid before, but he's a heck of a player.
This is too emotional watching him play this good 😢❤
The celebration at 6:05 🔥🔥🔥
Bravo Rafa, my fighter, bravo!!!!!! I’m not crying at the moment, but I’m actually very emotional right now🥺
A lot of smack talk and comments about this only being an ATP 250 event. All of the top players enter them. You know who would love to trade spots with Nadal right now.... Rublev, Ruud, Griekspoor, Navone, Norrie, and all of the other top players who were eliminated earlier in the tournament. This is only Rafa's 6th tournament since coming back. Novak has entered 7 events and is winless as well. Just let the guy do his thing and see where it goes.
Anything Nadal win at this stage is gold
Very happy for Rafa
what a beast!
This is a fantastic game for both players, with such a high level, they both deserve to be winners. Remarkable to see Nadal still go it.
The King is Back🐐
A King against a mediocre and unknown player? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Staged fake winner Nadal.
@@truthvfauxyeshu4068cry me a river u noletard 😂.

Yes, 👑 of clay 💪
@@truthvfauxyeshu4068titles in 2024, Nadal vs Novak...mystery...
@@truthvfauxyeshu4068
Of course when you don't understand something you say it's staged
Nadal was gone, and now suddenly he's back in a final!! Crazy!
bro Baldy is playing Challenger players and losing sets and gets broken for fun lmao
@@diggermeddler1169 well considering how long hes been away this is amazing, his footwork is not there yet but his forhand is still deadly..
salty . 3rd set was grand slam level play of tennis .
@@flipflop4396What do you mean his footwork is not there "Yet"..I am a big Nadal Fan, but his footwork will never be the same again..Djokovic is at 37 still has lot of power behind his shots, nadal lacks that along with footwork as well as the speed, and I don't think it will recover to the pre 2022 levels..
250. Pipe dodown
No wonder Duje could reach the semis of an ATP tournament. He's really good. Classic match from Rafa. All elements of his game including trademark celebration on display. Old dog is having a ball...😊
"A higher quality match than some RG finals" 🤓
3rd set it really was .
@@cucuiancu5895 not even close
@@cucuiancu5895 I didn't watch the match but I seriously doubt it.
lmao then u dont know tennis . so many spectacular shots few errors and many winners with intensity .
@@cucuiancu5895 It's easy for a match to appear to be a higher level if both players are playing at a lower level. You place RG Final Zverev or Alcaraz into this match against either opponent and they're not gonna struggle, at all
Vamoooos Rafa! A real grind out there & that's what we need! Onwards & upwards 💚🎾🥎👑🔥
Rafael Nadal is the most exciting tennis player to watch. No one else brings the energy and skills. He’s truly INCREDIBLE!! SO HAPPY YOU ARE BACK!! VAMOS RAFA👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽💪🏽😎😎🔥🔥
2:02 don't know if ive ever seen nadal even tempted to hit a ball in anger.
Fr bro, the pressure of losing/struggling against these types of opponents is taking a hit on him
That means he has the fire back
Rafa❤ the GOAT 🐐
Clay 👑
The grunt, endless aaaahhhhhhh🙉
This Rafa guy looks pretty solid for a 160th ranked player. Might win a grand slam if he keeps up this form
If you think he can get past Sinner or Alcaraz over a two-week span you’re delusional
@@SFO14 He made a joke, stupid.
I missed this 6:02 🥹
Seeing Nadal celebrating like this is pure joy 😍.
He’s amazing. That is all..
Rafa aos 38 anos batendo na gurizada...eh uma lenda do esporte! Um dos maiores do mundo do tenis!
6:03 vamos
Keep in mind this guy is playing a doubles match about a few hours later of this match. My goat !!!!
He withdraw and it's a wise decision
He never ceases to amaze 😮
@@Laland_1196 No he did not withdraw. The match is scheduled for 17:30.
@@Laland_1196 Actually he did. Just checked it. Sry
Man this Adjukovic Backhand is smooth and packs a punch. Hope he comes good, wouldn't mind seeing more of that shot in the biggest slams
yes, right but the best shot is also too full of confidence, he plays very well and storng when the ball arrives very very strong, but lose time on the high ball and of the second ball return. But I think that he ll improve!
I really didn't expect him to win this after yesterday's marathon
Vamoss RAFAAAA ❤❤❤.
could we see another major from Nadal? He was moving quite well.
Nadal thinking, I've had enough with a kovic causing me problems, again. 😂
😂😂😂😂
Well played.
To all toxic fans, before writing any hate comment do search Mueller Weiss syndrome which was about to force Rafa to retire at an early age of 19 and yet he managed brilliantly to keep it up till now. He is an inspiration.
Yes he is really icon of sports, djokovic federer might be goats of tennis as they are better on 2 surfaces, but nadal is more inspiring than them
@@raghumanda2tanush496Djokovic is,not Federer..He doesn’t have any credential of being the GOAT and is a distant third in the GOAT race behind Novak and Rafa
@@yuvi12sonurafa cope
@@yuvi12sonurafawhat did u say?
@@yuvi12sonurafa 2 more years at world number 1 is a pretty monumental gap
The Goat is Back 🐐
He is great but not the GOAT. Novak is the GOAT
Sorry Novak only plays at the Olympics again, doesn't need to play Challengers to warm up.
Novak is the GOAT
@@StylerDj Novak Lost by 6-2,6-2 just lucky
Goat of Clay yes.
Like a spiritual force that's forever present. 😎
enormous Rafa
Such proudness for this real champion
Anyone notice Ajdukovic 's similarity to Soderling in his playing style ?
I think no, Soderling is very different, much personal ,very wide opening and high elbow. Backhand little more similiar, but Robin anticipated better especially versus high ball! But the power of the shots are very closer to Robin
@@stefanovaccaro7806
The backhand is very Soderling, they set up their shots so well for unleashing max power..
Everyone was shocked the way Soderling overpowered Nadal during FO, people were predicting a great future with his style of play ... he also beat Federer at FO the next year ... sadly he soon became so ill with a serious version of Mononucleosis that he had to retire from the sports ....
Soderling definitely was one of the best players during that period, but is sadly very forgotten now ...
@@88feji Yes I know is very sad, I like Robin. Sorry for my English but what means FO? I saw the match Rafa E Robin in Rome the same year when spanish lost at RG (i Rome the match has been very fast).
@@stefanovaccaro7806
FO short for French Open ....
Yes, the way Soderling beat Nadal during 2009 FO was the first time I've seen a tennis player absolutely smack every ball that comes his way ....
I think the reason why Soderling's is able to smash at will against Nadal during that FO is because Nadal's high bouncing ball rises right into Soderling's higher than usual hit zone.
Against other players whose shots comes a lot lower, Soderling cannot smash, he has to resort to other ways to return which is less powerful ...
Nadal is able to recognise that, during the next FO, Nadal flattens his shots while changing his angles which successfully avoided Soderling's constant bullying of his high bouncing balls ... and Nadal won ... I've always admired Nadal's ability to figure a way to deal with difficult opponents, unless he's feelig unwell of course ...
So great to see Rafa win again! He needs tough matches like these to build his confidence back up.
Adjukovic's bh was on absolute fire but rafa managed somehow vamoss🎉
Been watching Rafa since he was 17 and it's great to see him playing again !
Nadal's charged up fist celebration never gets old
Even though these are lower ranked players, they are playing the match of their lives against a living legend. Glad to see Rafa, still far from his best, but at least competing and playing long matches which are physically demanding. We might never see again the speed and glorious days but we getting a good glimpse of it in the twilight of his career. Doesnt mean he will go on to bigger things.
que despues de la barbaridad de partido de ayer (y viniendo ya del jueves jugando) hoy rafa haga esto me parece una locura. Y mañana final!!!!
Y encima de todo está jugando y ganando en dobles con Ruud, alucina
Ajdukovic's backhand is very very impressive!
Goat ❤
6:07 ,Last time I've seen that fist pump with the leg was back in 2010,he's really in a "38 but I don't give a f**k" mode,if not with the body,it will be with the heart baby yeah 😂
Very impressive effort by Duje. However Rafa has the endurance, tennis I.Q., and experience.
Prizmic and Ajdukovic are future rullers of tennis. First Prizmic with his phenomenal performance against Djokovic and now this. Proud to be Croat!!!
lol too much talking no results
Alcaraz and Sinner will rule
These guys will be the future David Ferrer and Kei nishikori only making SFs and lose there
And you predicted they are future rullers of tennnis on what??? You based on your prediction on one Prizmic defeat by Djokovic and one sf ATP 250 by Ajdukovic lol, you dont know nothing about tennis obivously.
@@milenkoivanisevic5879 yes
Shapovalov or FAA had more chances then those dudes but who came on Top ?? Alcaraz and Sinner even Zverev that is 100 times better then those guys loses like a girls vs Thiem and Alcaraz in finals hahaha
What can i say some people think that potential = results
No in sport Mental = Results
on biggest stages in the sport
He couldnt even beat OLD NADAL HAHAHA
I don't understand why these TH-cam fans are so crazy, adjukovic is 23 year old and hasn't done anything, prizmic will turn 19 in August and his atp record is 3-8 , alcaraz was having much better record on his 19th birthday, I don't understand why you guys claim every young player as future ruller
@@rogersalllike9133yes these TH-cam fans are so crazy, they were hyping lots of young players like shapo, tsistipas, faa, fritz Dimitrov chung rublev rune alex etc outs of 100 players they hype only alcaraz and sinner prevailed
Vamos Rafa 🙏
Would be crazy if Nadal snags a title before Novak this year.
He will )
Of course, Novak made it to the Wimbledon final, an impressive feat despite his easy draw.
He should
Ajdukovic played beautifully, let's hope we see him again on the tour soon
🤞 hope
Nadal is a beast! Olympic gold loading? ⏳🥇
What a match! Very nice to see Rafa in that classic clay GOAT form. And impressive to see Ajducovic talent and fighting spirit as well.
Ajdulovic has a massive backhand. Needs to improve his forehand
Rafa forever ❤
Great footwork and technique 🔥🙌🏽👑✨🫶🏽🤩😍
Молодец Рафа!!!Делай что ты задумал!И все у тебя получиться,крепкого здоровья и удачи!!!❤❤❤
Brilliant rafa fantastic play.
Nadal is an inspiration. You cannot deny, as I'm sure he does not, that his age is a factor in how well he plays. He does not, however, let that stop him from giving it everything he has. I for one am rooting for him and will happily watch him play no matter what level he is playing at. I see commenters saying this isn't a very high level of tennis, but I disagree.
Absolutamente inspirador ver a,Rafa jugar así en estos días. Vamos ¡
Good to see Rafa back
6:05 aaaaaaaaahhhh the feels 😫😫
He hasn’t done that leg celebration in years.
I am very happy, that Nadal went through to a final after all his injuries!!!
Adjukovic has some shot selection skills to improve. One the rare players that actively runs around his forehand to take a ball with his backhand 😲
Nadal isn't playing at the level we expect, but at least he is playing well and moving reasonably well.
Speechless... Bravo, Rafa! True fighter!
Truth be told Ajdukovic was the better player physically this game but in the end, he was undone by his inexperience. He has a bright future ahead of him and kudos to Rafa the king of clay is still alive and kicking.
At least the GOAT’s matches are entertaining lol 🔥🐐
Among big 3, i like Rafa most because of his fighting spirit. I hope he continues a few more years.
Ajdukovic surely handles Nadal's high bouncing balls extremely well ... he's playing like a top 5 player in this match, shows there are lots of very dangerous players in the lower rankings ....
Top 50
Second only to Roger. Old guard never dies ✊🏿👌🏿💥
What about that irritating Đoko?
Woooaaaooo, Felicitaciones Querido Rafa❤!
Indestructible
If you are still in shooting range to win ATP titles, there is no reason to retire, thought that time is very close.
What a match one of the best in 2024 , well done both players👏🏻👏🏻
This guy Ndal has a future. Ranked 150+ on the tour and yet doing amazing things.
He already has a goat like history 😂
so why don't we hear about this Adjukovic guy! he played well! Hope to see him winning matches in grandslams
Because like others play with his life this matches and with 600 500 atp play like shit
We shall see what Ajduković can do in future, top 10 backhand, top 50 forehand, top 100 serve, top 200 volley, top 500 smash
That little celebration he did at 5 4 with the knee kick ....oh my gosh guys I haven't seen him do that since he had long hair in his hot 20's
Finally the first view of ona video 🎉
The King of Clay is back !
Unbelievable how good he is playing , the Gladiator 😮😊
Bravo Rafa🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Bravo Rafa! El premio a tanto esfuerzo: el regreso del triunfo a por el título en Bastad y Medalla en JO en París ❤❤❤
what a win! what a grind.
That spirit… the role model for everybody
Love Rafa , he’s one of my inspiration in life , happy for him for another final at 38
