well if you look at how Bear hit the ball he hit It in a way that was gonna be a power shot, but if that was in the actual tourney he would've hit a slower shot so that he can just retry the serve
@@klausuberhauser4303 That’s true but he got there kinda late and the ball had already died a bit because of the clay, so I’m pretty sure most of that pace was just generated from his arm. If he’d gotten there earlier he would’ve just taken a full swing at the ball.
Yeah the impressive part is that he was able to time it and hit it in the sweet spot with just a flick of the wrist given how fast the ball was coming at him.
@@harshtruth4620 the fact that you believe that Covid is not contagious is only an indication of your ignorance. And there is was no reason for Nadal to get contagious with Covid when they are so distant from each other. It is not like Medvedev is getting the ball in his mouth.
Why would Rafa not be safe? Did he French kiss Daniil? Good Christ, COVID is a non-event for healthy people. And professional tennis players are very fit and healthy.
Thanks for sharing this training session. I hope they are safe and out of covid soon if got it. Stay all safe. W... to our house as well to see tennis and more.
All of these top players have had practices with each other; hence, they knew the capabilities of each other once they face each other came game time. Their practice is better than the real ones because there is no nerves and pressure. Who ever got the better skill and stamina is likely to win but the one with the best spirit will eventually be the champion.
@@peace4myheart I think OP meant just a match win, not winning the title, since Medvedev hasn’t ever won a match at the French Open. He lost in the first round every time he played there.
@Avinash Anand yes, I know that. Nadal is well known for his topspin and them too. But you are comparing daniil to the wrong players. Daniil still hits a relatively spin-ish shot because it still goes down
Are they chosen by the tournament or do they get to chose their own practicing partner? If so, then doesn't everyone wants Rafa as their practicing partner on clay.
@@peace4myheart Good question! I would think they choose - or ask rather. - to practice with the person. Yes I agree who’s a better practice partner than Nadal on clay 😀?
@@GeorgeHWBush-jt8yz Also made Barcelona final in 2019. I think he could do really well this year but French will be toughest coz he actually might have a mental block there
"Legend has it post this intense practice with Rafa, Machine Meds eventually decided to skip the clay court season" Update: Unfortunately had to pull out of Monte Carlo due to a + COVID result, we wish him a speedy recovery!
Kind of strange watching them practice together. You don't really see any of the top players practicing with each other. Like, you don't ever see Nadal, Djokovich, or Federer practice together.
I didn't know Nadal and Medvedev were good friends enough to practice together, although it looks more like an exhibition match than a practice session.
4:40 When you see those side steps from Rafa setting up for his inside-out forehand you just know you lost the point
and the second he sees you move early to cover the inside-out, he goes inside-in and you're still screwed
So true LOL
That is classic raf strategy
@@DaggerMan11 Especially true cause of the amount of spin he uses so he can hit the ball later so he can see where the opponent is.
@@juanperes2331 It’s not just the slowness of the surface. It’s the way he moves on that surface that sets him apart from the rest.
ATP Tour: "Intense points"
First point: Return error
well if you look at how Bear hit the ball he hit It in a way that was gonna be a power shot, but if that was in the actual tourney he would've hit a slower shot so that he can just retry the serve
lol
Its amazing to be able to watch them at this angle
5:03 Rafa literally flicked his wrist and hit the ball 90+ mph that’s just unfair
that was insane, im surprised his wrist is still intact lol
@@Buddy_-ub1mf The faster the ball comes to you the faster you can hit
@@klausuberhauser4303 That’s true but he got there kinda late and the ball had already died a bit because of the clay, so I’m pretty sure most of that pace was just generated from his arm. If he’d gotten there earlier he would’ve just taken a full swing at the ball.
@@SJ-di5zu he just hit it off the bounce and not at its peak, it was like a half volley
dont know just basic stuff since he just use medvedev energy
Coaches are like "you can't get a better training than this"
Underrated comment
Federer Medvedev wood be better
@@titocomoglio3345no it wouldnt lol
Fed would kill Meddy boy! Fed vs Nadal would be evenly matched!
@@pauljohnson6019 Tf are u talking ab on clay nadal is way better than federer
Lovely to watch them so closely in such a great setting. 🥳 bonus footage thanks!
Amazing footage in 4K, so proud of you ATP tour!
well done, thanks for providing this!
The only 4k footage ATP will ever provide
If you look at it from this perspective, you can really see how good the top seeds are
5:03 almost unhuman-like how rafa managed to generate that power from that position. absolute sick wrist control
I thought the exact same thing, my arm would have blown off trying to return that with no backswing.
That's what the best forehand of all time is able to do.
he didnt generate any power at all he just used medvedev power its pretty basic
@@Bensway7 its not basic but its pretty normal
Yeah the impressive part is that he was able to time it and hit it in the sweet spot with just a flick of the wrist given how fast the ball was coming at him.
Monte Carlo is like a backyard but has everything, tennis tournaments, formula 1, etc
Its a millionaire’s backyard. So I expect nothing less lol
Wow great camera quality !
It doesnt get better than this! Thanks atp tour
Medvedev- " Its funny that I am seeded higher than Rafa on Monte carlo".
Incredible practice between two incredible players !!
10:15 Medvedev: "out?"
someone (coach? maybe): "yes"
Medvedev: "fuck"
lmao
It’s Rafa who says Yes
we need more of this type of content... stream it next time!
Please upload more of these
I think practicing with Nadal is the most intense practice you can get and then you add the clay ,Medvedev is one lucky man .
Guy takes 2 min to start the ball lol
And he touches his nose after touching the same ball a covid positive person touches.. if Nadal won’t get covid will prove it isn’t that contagious 😷😜
@@harshtruth4620 the fact that you believe that Covid is not contagious is only an indication of your ignorance. And there is was no reason for Nadal to get contagious with Covid when they are so distant from each other. It is not like Medvedev is getting the ball in his mouth.
Who's here after Daniil Medvedev tested positive for COVID-19? Hope Rafa is safe
Why would Rafa not be safe? Did he French kiss Daniil?
Good Christ, COVID is a non-event for healthy people. And professional tennis players are very fit and healthy.
@@glock22357 you sir, are a legend
@@glock22357 How about DjoCOVID? Looks like he's not fit 😂
@@glock22357 there are chances since they sweat and reuse the same balls that they have touched. Plus nadal touches his face in every point
@@FirasChelsea1155 YES. Spot on - Rafa should be isolated
The very first point played was the most intense of them all
shut up
Thanks for sharing this training session. I hope they are safe and out of covid soon if got it. Stay all safe. W... to our house as well to see tennis and more.
Ah yes!!! ATP has finally come to the court level party! Keep it coming guys ;)
It never ceases to amaze me that Rafa is fucking jacked
Some commentator said "he's built like a boxer"
And I agree

Nah, they don't go all out. They keep their secret weapons for the real game.
@@peace4myheart they don’t have any secret weapons that there opponent wouldn’t know about from the hundreds of prior matches
What a picturisit settings tennis is played.Nadal and medeve the players.Great sight to watch
I just found out Medvedev tested positive for the Corona. I wish him well, and I hope it doesn't affect Nadal.
That view tho
Medvedev really wants that first Roland Garros win doesn't he 😂
Him and everyone else not named Djokovic and Federer.
@@peace4myheart I think OP meant just a match win, not winning the title, since Medvedev hasn’t ever won a match at the French Open. He lost in the first round every time he played there.
@@chrishoffmann1825 Great answer. It’s his worst surface as well.
@@chrishoffmann1825 Thanks. Didn't even know that. With Medvedev's talent, I would have thought he would have won a match or two by now.
5:43 man this backhand is crazy!
Rafa's return to his smash was lit
Intense and nice location!
Rafa’s insane defence at 5:00-5:07. 🤯
Ouch
This camera angle really shows how flat Daniil is hitting the ball.
Really? When you do it in slow-motion he hits his exactly like Federer with he brush up.
@Avinash Anand yes, I know that. Nadal is well known for his topspin and them too. But you are comparing daniil to the wrong players. Daniil still hits a relatively spin-ish shot because it still goes down
2019 Monte-Carlo Masters, I arrived especially early
Only 2 players were out training (separately) at such an early hour:
Nadal & Medvedev
Camera quality is 🔥
With Rafa, it’s always intense! Nothing new. Meddy chose a good practice partner 😊.
Are they chosen by the tournament or do they get to chose their own practicing partner? If so, then doesn't everyone wants Rafa as their practicing partner on clay.
@@peace4myheart Good question! I would think they choose - or ask rather. - to practice with the person. Yes I agree who’s a better practice partner than Nadal on clay 😀?
This isn't intense at all for Rafa.
Medvedev has never won a single match at RG. The guy is worse than 200th rank ATP player on clay.
Stfu. U don’t know sh**t about tennis.
Watching Rafa on clay is beautiful and brutal in the same time. 😃😳
Nadal thinking man I want my #2 spot back
😊
Oh my medvedev has been tested positive for covid and now out of this tournament, i hope rafa is cleared
Daniils clay season could easily go 2 ways this year 😂
His French Open results are disastrous but he did pretty well here in 2019
@@GeorgeHWBush-jt8yz Also made Barcelona final in 2019. I think he could do really well this year but French will be toughest coz he actually might have a mental block there
He's beaten Djokovic at monte carlo so he can play well on clay
@@jimnosnow4484 it's just like federer vs novak. Idk why fed has mental block vs novak
Wow aged like milk
World number 2 in the world hitting with the King of Clay 👑
Medvedev positive to Covid-19... let's see how this goes for Rafa 😬
5:01 rally was amazing
When Nadal gets on clay:
Other players: Ah **** here we go again.
Damn, imagine having one of those houses with a view over the courts.
amazing footage
This is a really cool angle
Would not have guessed Rafa and DMed would be practice partners!
1080, 60 FPS, Nice!
Here after Medvedevs positive Coronavirus Test
Daniil is a genius he is very different style he looks like a young boy
View to a play, very nice 👍
10:27 Igor Andreev is in Medvedev`s team?
Why does the camera keep moving? Just keep it fixed. The angle is wide enough to cover both sides.
Medvedev tested positive, wishing him good luck for a quick recovery and hopefully Rafa isn't infected too
What a treat 😃
1:41 casual on the rise backhand cross court winner
The clay court King himself trains Daniil.
5:00 holy shit did you see how Rafa flicked the goddamn rocket back over like that? Whoa.
Rafa on clay is a natural. Go, Rafa! Win another for us all! Nadal Is My Champion!
This is 2021 French championship match up & I still got NADAL
Legendary moments players
Welcome back, Rafa!
cool view
Medvedev trying as hard as possible to avoid that Rafa forehand
Is there a more picturesque tennis court? Maybe Indian Wells? Absolutely beautiful. Oh, and the tennis was ok lol.
Meddy uses his length to generate power, but rafa is pure muscle. Is it good to start lifting?
Grande rafa !🎾
10:19
Medvedev:"Out?
Anybody:"Yes"
Medvedev:"Fuck man!"
“a positive training”
Medvedev tested positive for COVID! Nooooooooo
"Legend has it post this intense practice with Rafa, Machine Meds eventually decided to skip the clay court season"
Update: Unfortunately had to pull out of Monte Carlo due to a + COVID result, we wish him a speedy recovery!
Good luck to both the players.
waaaooowwww picturesque monaco

It might be strange but Djokovic and Nadal do practice together. Not often, but they do.
Medvedev has a hitch in his serve on the take-back.
5:03 what is this
2160 p? Thank you ATP
10:18 "out??...... f**k" 😂
I didn't know Nadal and Medvedev were good friends enough to practice together, although it looks more like an exhibition match than a practice session.
10:20
Medvedev: "F***"
Vamos Rafa ! King of Clay !
This is the clear proof that Nadal is the beast player of all time in clay. He can stay until tomorrow breaking Daniil’s serve.
CMON RAFA!!
Come on Daniil, You can win a match to Roland Garros 🤣
I have never realized that Nadal picks his wedgie every serve! Lol hey whatever works🤷🏻♀️
Rain incoming to suspend all matches you can feel the clouds
Le Roi de la terre battue sera encore une fois en finale 🎾🎾
Out- did Medvedev just say f you? Lol. Clearly those nerves are still rattling him!
The Greatest Clay court player ever and Nadal
I didn't know conan o'brien played tennis!
The Goat 🐐💜💪🏻🇪🇸
Do you understand that Rafa is training with the player with higher rank than his own!!!
Practice or ATP match doesn't matter, Nadal breaking his opponent's first service game is inevitable lol
It’s so difficult to hit thru nadal on clay but he has so much power he can hit thru his opponents
Wow, you so cool spelling 'through' like 'thru'.
@@zafferung4440 Dude, don't forget you're talking to John Smith: the guy who got it on with Pocahontas.
Excuse my ignorance, what are the coaches wanting their players to get out of this practice?
It all seems quite flat to me
Same mindset if its practice or not it doesn’t matter to him
This is more intense than any match today.
