I'm so glad I found other people that know about this terrible call in 2005 Miami
Me too
The intro is so classy, so many years We have enjoyed it
I agree
Me 2
Love his videos
I do like rafa’s chances more if he won that point, but it’s still possible that Federer could have saved all three break points and the match progresses as normal. In 2008 Wimbledon, Rafa had a 3 break point advantage in one game in the 3rd set but then it went on to become one of the greatest matches of all time. Side not, the Miami 2011 final was also an insane match. 3 hours and 22 minutes for a masters 1000 final 😯
A 0-40 to serve for the title would've been huge, and he ended not having a single BP in that game.
@@rafagoat575 yeah of course, but all I’m saying it by no means guarantees anything. It’s good, but it doesn’t mean he automatically wins. Same way how medvedev was 2-3 0-40 and we all know how that ended
In the 4th set in the same match rafa had a break point and actually hit a winner but it was called out. Otherwise rafa would have served for the match in the next game. All said and done rafa was incredibly unlucky not to win that match
@@gopinathks9140 don’t think so. The 4th set score was 6-3, so he wasn’t in control of the 4th set
Davydenko was a PROBLEM for Nadal. Not just on hard but on clay too. Look at Rome 2007. Nadal had won 75 matches in a row on clay at that point and needed over 3h30 to squeak past him. Still Nadal was 4-0 vs Davydenko on clay but 1-6 on hard courts, the only Nadal win being a very close 3 set match (best of 3 sets) at the 2006 ATP finals 6-4 in the decider.
And at the end that "sorry Rafa" before the ball even landed. Hope one day he picks up AT LEAST one of Miami, Bercy or the ATP finals. But hes 36 and time is definitely not on his side and his performances this year at Bercy and ATP finals certainly make it seem like he will never win those titles ;/
Great video. I knew Rafa lost a lot of finals but I don’t know how dramatic some of them were. Rafa really was cursed at Miami and Nitto atp finals.
At Nitto Atp Finals he wasn't that good. To my knowledge, Nadal has won only one tournament indoors on hard court in his whole career, back in 2005.
He reached the final twice at ATP Finals, but the other players were clearly better than him there.
@@Ivanntu I agree but 2019 and 2020 were his chances especially in 2020,such a rare choke against Med
@@beyou8038 That wasn't a final. His chances were 2010 and 2013. The other years he didn't get to the final.
@@Ivanntu Lol,everything doesn't have to be about the final, 2018 Wimbledon semi was an unofficial final,between I said he had chances not he would certainly win. YES 2019 and 2020 were his chances compared to the opponents, 2013 he was nervous, 2010 Federer played better.
@@beyou8038 In 2019 Nadal didn't even make it past the group stages. In 2020, he would have had to face off against Thiem in the final, who was not an easy opponent at all.
As you said, impossible is not in Rafa's dictionary so who knows!!
One of those tournaments where Rafa has been really good, but just fallen short. A lot of people like to say how Federer or Djokovic would be such great clay courters if Nadal doesn’t exist. Well on some surfaces like Miami or ATP Finals, Nadal has both Federer AND Djokovic as roadblocks. That’s tough.
He's been choosing Indian Wells over Miami since he's done better in the desert, and since those tournaments are back-to-back, right before the clay season, I don't think Rafa will ever play Miami again
Watched the video, rivetted! Been following him closely for years n years and the charm never wanes. I just wanna wish him the very best for his current stint down under. I hope he rivets us this year just like he did, at the very beginning of the year. AO 22 is etched in our love memories forever & ever. Keeping my🤞for #23 & more in '23.
Happy new year to all! 🌷
Great video man!!
Ofcourse he won Melbourne because Djokovic wasn't there to stop him
Yeah Novak won FO 2016 because Nadal withdraw in 3rd round
That’s like saying Novak only won titles because of all of Nadal’s injuries lol
@@khanhnguyen-cy6jm he withdrew because he had a fear that Novak would beat him for second consequetive year had they played in the semifinal or final the way he was playing at that time. It wont be a surprise to be honest and sincere.
@@khanhnguyen-cy6jmand he won today, your gonna say because Roger retired 😂😂😂
@@syedwaqarahmed5963 so why Rafa didn't withdrew last year with worst clay season before Rg ?
Superb work my friend! Liked the Miami intro. Can see the effort you put into this one 🙌
PS: Messi is the 🐐
Hahahaha thanks brother ❤️ 🙏
Rafa is good in football too, how is Messi in Tennis🙃
Pelé >
Messi unfortunately too short to play strong tennis - maybe he's the Kid (jointly with Diego Schwartzman and Olivier Rochus)
@@sume151 Rafa is good in skills and all, doubt how he would play in a high intensity football match ?
Great video and very good storytelling as always. Maybe the curse will end this year, who knows ;-)
Thanks brother! ❤️ Hope so too
Rafa hasn't played Miami since 2017, and won't play it anymore since there's only a week between Miami and the start of clay in Monte Carlo
Luck played its part in Rafa’s career. But we are all proud of what he has achieved. Despite injuries and some heavy losses he keeps coming back again and again to win matches and tournaments.
Luck plays a part in any career, but no one can deny Rafa's ability and absolutely his mental strength. I put him up there with Serena
Honestly, Rafa won't risk playing Miami given what happened to him this year at Indian Wells. An injury close to the advent of clay season would hamper his RG preparations. But who knows? Maybe he could give it a shot in 2023 afterall, but I don't think he will.
Considering he is not playing Acapulco, he might play IW and Miami this year. We’ll see.
@@minyrar7107 If he wins at IW, he'll skip Miami, I guess
Rafa will play miami to get some points and try winning it to be in top 10
Damn, you guys already knew he’s gonna be injured 😂
Correction, 2 gold medals...one with Marc Lopez! Great video, thanks!,
I was only talking about the singles achievements, but I see your point. Thanks Dominic!
In every legend's career there will always be a few matches that they should have won / let it slip.
1. Roger - The list is long. Let's just say 40-15!, USO final 2009.
2. Rafa - AO 2012, AO 2017, Wimbledon 2018
3. Novak - RG 2013 semis vs Rafa, 2008 Beijing Olympics semis vs Rafa, AO 2014 vs Wawrinka
No way Rafa AO 20/17. He was a break up in the fifth, but he was the lesser player for 5 sets long. And he never really had the momentum. You can only speak of Should have won / let it slip when a player is just a few points away and then drops his level / makes wrong decisions. Those things almost never happen to Nadal or Djokovic.
A few inches has been my problem in life as well :(
Wonderful. Thanks!
Thanks Mr. Anthony!
I wish Federer won Rome 2006 and Rafa won Miami 2005
I think Rafa could chase this tournament for it is one of the very few he's never won, but it happens only two weeks before the clay season. So, if we're to consider that he's never won Paris nor the ATP Finals either, there's no reason for him to seek this title. But this loss in 2005 really hurts.
I am a huge fan of this channel
Rafa and roger should exchange their 2005 Miami and 2006 rome open title 😀
IMO Nadal’s major failure is not even winning one ATP Tour Finals where only the top 8 players in the world compete for the title. Djokovic and Federer have both won it 6 times. So the difference is stark.
Rafa has 14 RGs (clay court slams) compared to Novak's 2 and Roger's '1. The ratio is 7:1 and 14:1 respectively.
Novak and Roger have 6:0 ratio on Rafa in Atp finals ( Indoor hard slam)..
Novak is overall slightly ahead here, But Roger is still overall behind. Should Have dominated more in the ATP Indoor tournaments and won it at least 9-10 times.
@@aranighosh3945 Novak has won AO 10 times Nadal has won twice.. The ratio is 10:2 here.. Similarly novak has won 7 wimbledons and Nadal has won two the ratio here is 7:2 .. I don't understand the point you're making here
Rafa is a goat .. he might not win any more slams with his current form , Injuries and with age not on his side.. but he is the goat of the game .. the greatest clay court player..
greatest on clay, goat is djokovic
That last clip is brutal
I mean one bad call didn't lose him the Miami match; champions like Nadal can put those aside and play to win.
Rafa's 2022 AO championship will forever be tainted with two asterisks - until such a time when he beats Nole in the AO finals.
Okay I really don't understand that logic of you Nole fans. That asterisk theory is bunch of bs and it's really made up by trolls. Did he cheat to win it? NO. Therefore it cannot have an asterisk regardless of what you say. Nole not being there was not Rafa's doing. It was Nole's own doing. Although he is allowed to make his choice and there is nothing wrong with it, but rules are rules.
@@londo64
1. Nadal has ZERO wins over Nole outside of clay since late 2013. Nole was ready willing and able to compete in AO 2022 and would probably have crushed Nadal had they met there.
2. Nadal won AO 2022 finals with a huge help from the crowd. Medvedev is not mentally equipped like Nole to handle that psychological abuse.
@@londo64100% lol Nadal the most grand slams ever. Let the haters hate. The stats don’t lie. The greatest ever
@@englishquizfactory Exactly. He had to work hard and put his body through hell to win those titles. Give the man the respect he deserves you know.
I honestly can't believe how oblivious some Nole fans are. Actually I can't call them Nole's fans because that would be disrespectful to some genuine fans of Novak. These trolls blame politics but like they will ignore the fact that Nole lied on legal travel documents, which he used to get his exemption and visa for entering Australia. He even admitted to making that mistake. That gives any country's immigration system the right to cancel your visa and reject your exemption. Especially at a time when the public was outraged from not being able to spend time with their loved ones. Imagine the chaos that would have been caused if Djokovic was actually allowed to stay in the country after falsifying travel documents fiasco.
Whose Noel?
If he is the best clay court player , then Roger is the best grass court player and nole the best hard court player all the 3 have there best courts and the king of clay is Rafa Nadal ❤️
I don’t think Rafa care about Miami open so much. He has won so many titles including 22 majors. Even if he wins Miami one more time it doesn’t change anything.
One will think Andy Murray should retire soon but it's more feasible seeing Nadal retire before Murray, & its almost impossible for Nadal to win another slam considering the fact that he plays with extremely high intensity compared to Novak let alone Murray who's style of play is more energy conservative
He's got to win Paris Masters also :(
Yes, Rafa could be the favorite to win Miami this year if not injured - especially since Djokovic unlikely to be allowed into the US during that time. 5 finals says a lot.
Miami Masters, Paris Masters, Shanghai Masters, ATP Finals. After more or less 60 appearances combined he didn't win any single trophy till date despite winning more than 25 Trophies at Madrid and Rome combined.
I know people will disagree, Federer and Nadal have a great friendship off the court but Nadal and Djokovic had(and still have) much better rivalry. Not just beacuse they're basically the same age but beacuse of the number of matches and how small head 2 head difference is
Federer Nadal have greater degree of stylistic difference thats why their matches are the most eye catching. But interms of statistics, Nadal Djokovic rivalry is superior.
Novak is the GOAT whoever has a different opinion is delusional
23 consecutive slam semis
@@willmacauley7799since Federer doesn’t even have the most gs and gs finals he’s reduced to semis 😂
If he can pull off a miracle at the Australian Open for his 2nd title here, on paper technically he can pull off another at Miami for his 1st. Extremely difficult though but perhaps all he needs is for Djokovic to not be in the draw, and to stay injury free. But then also hopefully not wreck himself before the clay season whilst trying to climb this mountain.
AO us not a miracle as nadal is the clear favourite once Djokovic got banned. Nadal is always a second favourite in any GS outside clay next to Djoker. If not for Djoker Nadal would have won more AO & Wimbledon.
Djokovic lol smh
You sound like Zlatan Ibrahimovic :D
Hahahaha you're not the first one to tell me that, Andrew! 😂❤️
Despite the fact that Djokovic, in my opinion, is the best player in history, we are very lucky to have seen Rafa play, I don't think we will ever see another player like him.
Rafa always has a chance
Is Jose Mourinho the voice over?
Hahahahahhaa you're not the first one to tell me that 😂
I think he wont play atp 500s to focus on miami and indian wells
What I don't understand was why there was no challenge allowed?? answer...Umpire liked Federer too much, otherwise it would of been 0-40 & Rafa in straight sets...Doesn't matter in the end Rafa ALWAYS had it over Federer...Beat him on grass at Wimbledon 3-1 record at Aus open on hardcourt & Never lost to Federer at RG, no matter how hard Roger tried...But that 2008 RG final would be the biggest embarrassment to Federer in his career. A straight sets thrashing, a loss of only 4 games, including a 3rd set Bagel...All this while being the number 1 seed & the number 1 player in the world... This would forever haunt him...Only injury to Nadal allowed Federer to "fluke" his 1 RG title...
Ummm, I think this is a bit over-biased against Federer. Yes Rafa has the better H2H, but Federer only lost to him twice after changing his racket (from 90” to 97”) and both times were on clay. Let’s not play down the fact that Federer, in reality, was from a different era. Playing with a 90” racket against the newer style players using 100” is no mean feat. All that said, I think all 3 are the GOATs for different reasons.
@@tdc_2021 Unfortunately for Federer he has such a poor H2H record against Nadal & Novax, especially in grand slams, he cannot be considered in the GOAT equation... He set most of his records when the other 2 were only starting out in tennis & Federer avoided playing the clay court seasons because he knew he couldn't win with Nadal playing....
@@jmilne5751 that’s your opinion and that’s fine. You could flip it though and say that Federer had better H2H records (against Djokovic anyway) until he passed 30 (and his prime)…and arguably Nadal and Djokovic then haven’t had two more GOATs to contend with into their 30s. Maybe Delpo could have challenged more without all of the injuries.
@@tdc_2021 So you are agreeing that Nadal was able to & beat prime Federer.. We could come up with so many scenarios, turn Wimbledon into clay, so we have 2 clay slams & 2 hardcourt slams....I would hate to see the slam totals if that was the case or turn RG into Grass, so two grass & 2 hardcourt slams, we could go on & on & when all 3 have retired we will continue the debate...All I know is 1 thing for sure, Novax will keep playing after nadal has retired if he hasn't gotten in front with slam wins...
"The greatest rivalry..."
🤡
That would be Nadal-Djokovic.
The media would always try to push false narratives.
Nadal-Djokovic is the best rivalry "competition" wise, but the Fedal rivalry goes way beyond competition.
Goes beyond competition and into where 😂 😂
Personal life?
Rafa didn't invite Roger for his wedding.
You Fedal fans need to be stopped
Relax, kid. Ain't nobody that pressed about it 😂
@@ifeanyiraphael7647 😂😂
Miss u,,,wivorn
I missed you too buddy! Thank you ❤️
He hadn't won Bercy and ATP finals.
Miracle happened thanks to Aus government; we all know that this win was never a complete win for Nadal. Without Djokovic being played, a win in Australia must be discounted. Nadal knows it, Djokovic knows it, tennis fans who know tennis know it. Just good for a number but satisfaction wise, Nadal's heart knows how hypocritic he was against Djokovic on deportation drama. Nadal said, no player is important that a tournament, that is a very salty statement from a player like Nadal. You better shut the front door if you can't support. Djokovic has a duty to shut down all haters and set the record before his retirement. Not so far i believe.
Over year and novax fan still blame for something 🤣 he choose not to take vaccaine so he didnt play , rules for everyone
@@khanhnguyen-cy6jm your drugdal was lucky to win this time at AO. Djokovic kicked his ass at rg and won it unlike vice versa.
@@vanitakamat6071 yes after he waited over a decade that his speed declined and his chronical injury got worse😂
Ruined??? the dude has 22 slams and 70+ other titles. He be fine
Rafa is considered GOAT by only his fans. His legacy will only be linked with clay.
How many people have 8 slams without fav surface ?
@@khanhnguyen-cy6jm he's worst surface is grass he's won two there 🤡. Djokovic has 2 at rg. Don't simply bark.
It wasn't a miracle in Melbourne. It was a disgusting hostile crowd which totally influenced the outcome to medvedevs detriment
If cursed means winning 22 slams, ill take a dozen pls.
One bad line call. The main narrative of this video is a clickbait nothing burger, but I enjoyed it regardless
Good enough for me that you enjoyed it, Erik! 😂❤️
wait until he wins Miami in 2023
he has yet to win paris bercy and the atp finals if that is the case
No goddamn way for Rafa to win Miami, there's Alcaraz or any of the younger generation players. Much more competitive then in the past and Nadal is almost 37 !!!
For me the GOAT race is as follows.
1. Djokovic
2. Federer
3. Nadal - Federer has won 6 WT finals whereas Nadal has zero. In contrast Nadal has one gold medal. Overall, Federer stands above Nadal when we consider how dominant Federer and Djokovic were on Hard and Grass courts. Nadal was just way too good on clay but other guys have won 5+ slams on 2-3 slams. Federer has to be the 2nd although he is 2 slams behind Nadal. Djokovic's the best of all time, we all know it, any arguments?
Just one simple measure to determine who is the best. Weeks at nr 1. So your statement is correct.
What an illogic logic 😁
yeah 22 majors is a curse
Rafa is going to win Miami
It is not a curse.
did djokovic make the sign of the cross backwards?
Yes he often does that
Prime Federer > Prime Novak
Mucho Rafa
Mucho Roger
:( cursed in miami
8-7 40-15
Noleee!
Impossible is not Nadal
He won Australia because there was no Djokovic to play. Djokovic would win easily
Sounds like novaks problem not nadals
3
Uno
Hello
His AO slam in 22 is tainted.
Aha..
"Most majestic night ever in all sport" because NOT NOVAK THERE, don't embarrassing yourselfe, man.🤣
🧐
An absolutely needless and illogical video.
Only if Rafa is in best physical state at the time & ready to miss Monte Carlo
Miami was rigged ffs , Federer black mailed them to change the court according to his liking
That’s not even true lol.. Miami has been a slow court for a while now lol
DJOKOVIC ONLY GOAT
#dopal #dopal #dopal #dopal #dopal #dopal #dopal #dopal #dopal #dopal #dopal #dopal #dopal #dopal #dopal
The only reason he won last years AO is because GOATkovic was tortured in australia. And the reason he hws grand slams at all is because draws are fixed and staged all the time
You need professional help bro.
I am a huge fan of this channel
Thank you ❤️
