Who's here after Rafa won another Roland Garros for 14 times making his 22nd GRAND SLAM!! #TrulyMagician 😍❤
I am here Goatdal
Rafa Simply The Best! The GOAT!
Rafa was against all odds in the final. Playing against the best player on hard courts along with Nole, who came with confidence, having a 13-match win streak at majors and who had won the previous major; being two sets to love down and 2-3 0-40 in the third. Arguably the greatest comeback in tennis history.
guadio vs coria in 2005 french open i believe is also a contestant for best comeback
@@thedieselweasel201 Well, Coria kind of just choked in that final. Although he couldn't physically maintain the same intensity, Medvedev kept hitting stunning shots...it was Rafa who stepped up his level. Also, the final you're referencing was in 2004.
All whats needed to win such a match is a 90% level nadal, and that's what he did from the 3rd on
It’s not even arguable; this is the greatest comeback in tennis history, especially with history on the line.
Crowd was always supportive to Rafa
it's 22 now. what a legend🐐🔥.
Tennis will be so sad when Rafa will retire, this guy is my inspiration and for many around the World. Humble and gracious
He is not one of the greatest but the greatest of all time in the history of tennis. So much attitude, persistence and a fighter.
Respect to Rafa. G.O.A.T
djokovic is an anti-vaxxing douche bag and his fans are all toxic
Novak Djokovic is A GOAT
Rafael Nadal is THE GOAT
@@sevaraalimova4706 yup. He is the douchiest of the goats.
Dear Australian open,
Could you please teach the French open (and other slams and tournaments) how to make proper highlights and content that captures the audience so tennis doesn't seem like a sport that is only watched on cable TV by 70 year olds?
Thanks in advance,
-Tennis fans.
Exactly this years French open coverage is soo bad I was banker too watch every single AO game this year but only like two FO omes
Australian tennis, facilities & coverage beats all the other 3 slams
It’s 22 now for the G.O.A.T 🐐 ❤️💕💕💕💕🔥🔥🔥🔥
Novak breathing behind his neck... Rafa is getting pushed by COVID BS
@@votdfak rafa’s regular injuries and Novak’s vaccine issue land them in same level! something has to pull these legends to keep fighting for the ultimate glory of most number of grandslams!!
AO content is indeed the best of all the slams. Pretty nice to relive Rafa's path to 21. 🥲
great Rafa!!
22 now :)
With us open coming in second I agree. And Wimbledon and Roland Garros are just shite. With 2 min highlights, no videos likes this one and very few historic full matches
Definitely, AO makes the best content. However, I missed the most epic part, when nadal was losing 3-0 40-0 in the 3rd set
Nadal has won every major at least two times. And everything is complete now. He’s also currently leading with 21 overall.
Everything is complete????
0 WTF
0 Miami
0 Paris masters
@@atomics.h.1824 that is true but everyone knows that slams are the biggest tournaments on earth
@@atomics.h.1824 no one cares about those mate. Lmao what are you 12?
@@atomics.h.1824 you forgot the olympics .. mm wait ;)
@@gamingwithglasses4544 exactly
Roger A0 2017 and Rafa AO 2022, two comebacks after 6 month of stopping tennis, two monstrous tournament, two memorable finals in the history of this sport, two legends of the game but one will be on the top and for now it’s RAFA
It is just Rafa saying what Federer and Novak can do, I can do Better
Better comeback than Fed 2017
better comeback from 2 sets down in Grandslam final than Novak RG 2021
Hopefully he can better Novak attempt for Calendar Slam Also
@@bilalattal2707 yeah... not really
Waiting for #23
I will tell my son that i saw Rafa Nadal, and that is something that makes me feel so so lucky. The best player of the history.
The Gladiator. The greatest warrior. The GOAT. Rafael Nadal.
When he retires from the game he will break so many hearts including me...what a legend 🙏🙏🙏
AO best content. Full matches. Extensive highlights. Documentaries like this. French Open is the absolute worst. Five set thriller. Two minute highlight. No full matches even after its over
Wimbledons coverage was pretty bad too. Rarely do we get a highlight of a great shot
For me to reduce Rafas greatness to pure muscle and power is a disrespect, when he’s faced the innate talent and has beaten it countless times. He has the talent and the power
He has at least as good touch as Federer which was improved over the years
Rafa started as incomplete player but now has perfected the game
for me he is the most talented because he can win points and hit crazy winners from the back fence to one CM behind the net
Yes, it's not just power and technique, it's a genius level, strategy, fast decision making and ability to change the game as come up with solutions. He is superhuman level.
For me the best 21st century tennis players in the world. I'm in Brazil - Sao Paulo.
Letgo nadal wimbldon
The GLADIATOR of History Tennis 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🎾👑
I want Nadal to beat Djokovic once again in hard courts😢
Uso, if nole is there
Nadal didn't defeat Djokovic on hard court surface since 2013
He defeated him in his prime for sure
The synonym for transcendence is Rafa. Just to be clear that transcendence is not in the category of superlatives. Transcendence is the dissolution of thought that attempts to describe. It is prior to and beyond every description.
Rafa is not superhuman. On the contrary, he is fully human - he fully embraces suffering, he fully breathes self-doubt, he fully respects each and every player, each and every human being across the planet, he fully respects every tennis 🎾 racquet if he's not smashed a single one, he fully loves Real Madrid, he fully respects Roger and Novak, he fully loves humanity.
Transcendence when lived is humility, humility, humility. Rafa!
I felt like I watched full Australian Open, thank you for this amazing video.
Next for nadal is the 22nd
Rafa is GOAT
Everytime I see him punch after the last championship point ... i rem its the 21st Century's 21st slam ... Unbelievable point ... whata player
I love rafa
Among the grand slam channels,AO is truly the best..highlights,full matches,these kinds of videos,just great content…Thank you!
now watching it after Roland Garros final again..Rafa is beyond reachable now.
The greatest player to touch this sport. Grateful to have gotten to watch him growing up, the peak of human performance, well done rafa you deserve it all.
Typing this as he just reached the semis of Rolland garros yet again, bring it home Rafa no. 22!
I hope he defeats Sacha today, and whoever in the final, gets #22 and leave a beautiful legacy before he retires 🔥❤️ coz we all know with his age and condition he's not gonna be around (in professional tennis) that long anymore 😭 we love Rafaaa ❤️
Zverev will choke anyway 🤣
Well he’s in the final now vamos 🇪🇸
He won number 22 as well ❤️
The miracle man
I'm here after Rafa bagging his 22nd GS and 14th RG title.
22 soon
hopefully❤
Right you were😊
He did it, 22 🏆
With out Nadal, Federer and Djokovic game looks like just normal 😒
4:58
What a insane tie break🤯
No matter how many times I watch this, I always get the goosebumps.
GOAT!!!
Rafael Nadal es el Real Madrid del tenis.
Nunca se le puede dar por derrotado..
Rafael Nadal is the Real Madrid of tennis.
He can never be considered defeated.
Proud to be a fan of both!!
14 champions real Madrid , 14 Roland Garros Nadal
Very emotional 4 nadal
Nadal is a superhero a man who would be remembered as a god in ancient greece
The legend of Rafael Nadal
AO has the most pleasing court to watch on television
Absolutely
Rafa nadal 22 time grand slam champion ❤❤ the king of tennis the matador the god of tennis ❤❤❤❤
Please update to 22 already
This video is gonna be viewed for a long long time. Its like a destiny fulfilled.
Iam glad to be ur subsriber AO
Raaafa 💪
The story, the journey to GS so beautiful to re live. Thank you Rafa for sharing your thoughts as well.
I love how AO celebrates the sentimentality of tennis and all its beauty
It seems like canadian players and 5 sets are a lucky charms for rafa lol
GREAT!
Absolutely wonderful and emotional video this is..
Vamos Rafa!👍🇪🇦💪...
There could be a movie based on his life! The only player who turns a tennis match into a thriller. A fighter, who never rested, caught between 2 other greats, who had to fight with Federer to get a place and then with Djokovic to continue. And despite all the injuries, he kept going. 13 years of waiting when he could have already had 3 AO. Come on Rafa, you are INCREDIBLE!
7:14 lol
Brilliant content
You should’ve also added 2012 where Nadal was 30-15 up 4-2 fifth set and he missed an easy backhand on his own serve
fifth set *
Ye I know
Oh wait sorry messed up
@12:45 you can see the happiness on the ball boy's face ❤️
He is THE GREATEST EVER !!!!!!!!!!!
❤️
This is one of the clearest 1080p videos I've ever seen in my life
Like in soccer cristiano ronaldo is Goat
In tennis rafael nadal.... Is Goat
For both 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Messi has 7 Ballon dor's and more records so not really. But I agree with rafa
G22
Rafa, the greatest GS champion. AO, the greatest GS videographers.
The 2-3 0-40 moment in the third set of the final needs to be in the recap
No one expected him to do well, much less win the Australian Open '22 but Nadal is Nadal. This is why we love the man.
Rafa Nadal 🐐 goat
This comeback ! It actually deserves some other word than comeback
Goat Rafa
Rafas face at 2:30 hahahahah 😂😂😂
RAFA what a legend !!!
As tough as a two-dollar steak… Never has a compliment been so powerful🤣🤣🤣
amazing!
2017 AO was also equally epic i believe.. I think what did Rafa in that tournament was fatigue, especially considering rafa played a huge 5hr 5-setter and only got 1 day rest vs 2 day rest for roger..
He looks so emaciated here. Daniil should have won this though. Tough job by Rafa.👍👍
Sure thing...but Nadal almost choked a two set lead vs Federer in the Wimbledon 2008 final and again vs Medvedev in the US open final. Nadal is the GOAT because he doesn't choke in most finals and in fact pulls off miracles like the 2022 AO final. He is one of only 2 men with 5+ Grand Slam titles (alongside Richard Sears in the 1880s) to not have a losing record in Grand Slam finals against ANYBODY if including "Pro Slams" finals of the pre-Open Era. Djokovic has losing records in Grand Slam finals against Rafa (4-5) and Wawrinka (0-2) while Federer has losing records against Rafa (3-6) and Del Potro (0-1). Rafa's 2017 French Open final win vs Wawrinka was huge to guarantee no losing record against Wawrinka in slam finals (1-1).
@@nogoodnameleft what's the point of this? The reason why Nadal has a positive h2h in GS final because he couldn't get past round 4 in Wimbledon for 5 years in a row and missing tournaments, of which Djokovic, Federer are winning.
Vamos Rafa! Simply great.
mask wearing onto court just to take it off 🤣, so illogical
The story of this journey goes, Novak wasn't there, the end.
Cry somewhere vic fan
its always the ic people saying bs 😂
the story of RG 2016 Final was Nadal wasn’t there
pathetic
BIG BIG BIG * for this one.
the 🐐was in jail
I am here once again after Novak's 21st grandslam at Wimbledon
Australia needs apologies to novak djokovic ,
Legend ❤
Nadal, Federer, Djokovic, Messi, Ronaldo, Hamilton, Schumacher, Woods, James, Curry and so many more... I consider myself so privileged having been able to witness these giants of their respective competitions. The 2000's truly have graced us with legends so far. I usually don't like to use the following term but: what a time to be alive..
Best tennis player in the world ...
After the Wimbledon semis 🥺 🔥 .. still fighting like a 🐐💓
Anyone know the name of the piece of music at the end?
I need that cap he's wearing
"TOUGH AS A 2 DOLLAR STEAK" 🤣
I wish tennis back to use wood racquet
What a video
pat rafter was so sure of rafa's defeat in the finals🐒
Nvr count the GOAT out
This has aged like steak.
Pure inspiration
Fake slam win
