That 2010 Monte Carlo was one of, if not the most dominant tournament a player has ever played. I remember Nadal winning a lot of 6-0s and 6-1s. Every match was so short
I've rarely felt as bad for a player than Verdasco at 2010 Monte Carlo. He honestly played great and still got absolutely bulldozed. Love the point where he's thanking the heavens that he finally won one lol.
Amazing how in 2012 we were already talking about his supremacy, and "owning" tournaments, and 10 years after he is still winning and looking almost unbeatable.
That run and chase from Rafa at 11:21. I mean his pace at that time when he was a teenager and growing, he was lightening fast don't think anyone come close to him in this aspect. We see today a teenager Alcaraz chases almost every ball and has a great speed but compare it with this teenage Rafa in this video I don't think Alcaraz comes near Rafa. Are you agreed with me?
The thing is there may be a few players on the tour now that can get the ball but they'd be on full stretch and still struggling to get there, but Rafa here got to the ball with time to spare that's insane.
the most insane is the second lob is sending back, he literally only make a wrist movement because the ball is ahead of him... this is nuts, you need to have power, accuracy and everything. The guy is the goat of tennis
Back in those days....he was dominant as hell on clay....no one had a fucking answer to his game.....and decade later with only 70% of his peak ability he is still beating down players....
Rafa had some pretty dominant tournaments at RG over the years. 2008 & 2017 stand out the most. In 2017 he dropped a total of 35 games in the entire tournament! That’s an average of 5 games per match! In 2008 he dropped 41 games and dished out a bagel to Fed in the Final.
I want him to win too , but in tennis you don't know what can happen, if zverev plays like played he can be a serious threat and for the finalist we don't know
Well said,he wins in those years when he looks vulnerable,this year he already beat two players who were supposed to beat him,barring injury,i dont see anyone beating him this year
The amazing thing is... Rafa is well past his best (especially on clay) but he's still winning Roland Garros! It's quite amazing watching back his peak days, he was literally unbeatable.

@@gotimlol5318 Much more power on the shots now. It helps with the agression. They have steadily added more weight to their rackets. Fed has changed to a much more powerful frame and in Wimbledon 2019 it allowed his backhand to fight Nadal. I was watching the old replays and even in 2006 Nadal was giving Federer's backhand serious trouble. Fed was just bunting them over the net often. Not now.
@@hyacinthusargus1513 One of the only times he skipped his home tournament in Barcelona because he wanted to pace himself better during the clay swing.

Sad truth: No extended highlights of any ATP match lost by Djokovic, eg. vs Alcarz Madrid, Berdych Rome13, Verdasco Rome10.

2010 Rafa made Clay Slam (Monte Carlo Masters, Madrid Masters, Roma Masters, RG). Huge achievement no doubt. But if we would talk about maxing it, then Clay Slam could be: winning: (basing on 2023 ATP Tour:) Córdoba 250 Buenos Aires 250 Rio de Janeiro 500 Marrakesh 250 Monte Carlo Masters Barcelona 500 Madrid Masters Roma Masters RG Gstaad 250 Hamburg 500 Kitzbühel 250 (12 titles! 7 750 points! from this events!)

(with added luck (rivals walkovers and injuries after beginning of matches) You could win also Chile 250 Geneva 250) next level would be winning them without losing a set, then next level: without tiebreaks played next: sets maximum 6-4 next: sets maximum 6-3 next: sets maximum 6-2 next: sets maximum 6-1 next: 6-0 all sets next: all sets - golden sets next: improving time of victories.
