This is actually great news that Nadal got to a final. This is part of his recovery after such a long period of not playing. He’ll be even better at the Olympics! He will be competitive at the US Open. You can never count Rafa out.
To qualify for the final after not playing for so long is a tremendous achievement. Now that he has regained some match toughness, he can plot on his next areas for improvement. Go Rafa!
@@Scotttt1994 What an intelligent remark on your behalf...did you even watch a single game? I saw excellent players all over the place. Maybe Rafa wasn't at his best but that doesn't mean "the other players" were bad.
@@neilcruise571 they where shite. Rafa was shite and still made the final. Any half decent player would of wiped the floor with the lot that played in Sweden this week
really tennis doesn't deserve to be watched by lot of people. Tennis is a pure hard work and passion but unfortunately it's watched by talking-on-the-sofa people @BoroFan86
Very encouraging to hear him say his practices were much better than his match play. That means he's capable of more than we saw in Bastad - and that we can hope for more from him IF he can stay healthy and for as long as he wants to play. People who think that his relatively lackluster play this week tells us all we need to know about his prospects are not appreciating what it means to come off two years of injury recovery and negligible match play. If Rafa chooses to play on, and if his body holds up, even at 38 he might yet have some magical moments to deliver.
Rafa, congratulations on raising your ATP ranking up over 100 points in one week. you understand very well what level your body is at, and what level other players' tennis are at. I took a screen shot of you, and when you left the desk I felt a little sad. Thank you for loving the sport so much you keep fighting. You're an inspiration. Vamos.
My heart went out to Nadal in the final. I think he played awesomely this week and given that he had a couple of very long matches and played every day - that in itself is a huge step forward from where he was a few months ago. Such a humble person. Nadal is very unforgiving on himself & will never make excuses for what he considers playing under par. To be fair - Borges fought a good fight for the win and Congratulations’ to him for that. I think we will see much more from him in the future. As for Rafa - he knows what he needs to do better and we all know that he will work hard to remedy that. Regardless of wins or losses - he is and always will be an absolute Legend of the sport. ❤
This man at 38 with a grinding point by point game coming off of injuries got to a final on clay after a week of long matches . Nadal should be very encouraged maybe enough so he will hang around a little longer.
Just great that he reached the final. As usual, such humility and accepting that despite the lack of energy he should have played better. You are just exemplary Rafa
Let Rafa decide about his future. No one has any right to decide about his future irrespective of whether you are his fan or critic. Please remember this guy has built his career against the odds and has proved everyone wrong many times. Please do not teach him how to play on clay...
@@vamshikumarmacharla1332 Djokovic can still compete at the highest level and he could still beat majority of the players. Maybe not the very best players like Carlos and Sinner. For Rafa, i guess his time is gone. He is too old. It's sad to see myself as his top fan but the end is near for the goats. We will be witnessing a new era soon without Rafa and Novak.
An honest appraisal of the week by Rafa and no excuses from him. I'm just happy that he is healthy and able to finish the tournament without injury. As ever, he'll be determined to improve his level for the Olympics. If Rafa & Carlos win doubles gold, that's good enough for me.
You Know The Drill Brother .... Improvise If Things Are Different. EverythinG Gets Back To Its Track ..... You're Back The Best ThinG .... See You In Paris ....🎉
All the clowns that talk about nadal age, you have the loser mentality, that finds excuses instead of solutions, dont forget Nadal was supposed to be retired early like before his 30s due to his style of playing, yet here he was winning grand slams at 37, you can keep hating, that will not change anything regarding champions vs losers
As a nadal fan I see it as a big positive he got to the final. He has won Rolland garros before without getting to finals in3 set tournaments. Also he is not satisfied with his current level which is good to see.
So, what! Who cares?! NADAL NEVER EVER WON ATP FINALS, the season ending-championship over 17 years. And, Wimbledon only 2 x times. Australian Open only 2 x times. NADAL is the King od Doping! GREETINGS from Switzerland 🇨🇭 🇨🇭
the condition is here to slow the ball to hard little bit like in madrid masters, the condition in paris will be perfect for him if he get little bit faster he can reached the semi final or even more who knows good luck and god save him
His playing style is much more stamina oriented so age has finally caught him up It was Rafa so he delivered so much excellence over the years Otherwise these type of players could finish up early
Part of getting old is getting used to the things you can no longer do. Rafa trying to defend every point like he is 25 is not going to work anymore. Why he stood so far back to return serve, didnt try to hit more winners in the rallies, seemingly thought the opponent would just miss, I dont understand. And if he can defend well enough, he won't be able to do it match after match after match
Absolutely... He has one of the best net games on tour and yet he stays very far from the baseline, playing in a very predictable way... This is also why I always say his team is extremely dated and he needs to find someone else to improve his game (especially his serve, OMG), otherwise you can't win matches only with the defence at 38. I'm always called "a hater" for stating these facts, but it's just the reality...
And on top of that he's not serving well,he suffers because he depends too much of his 38 years old body,he can't handle long rallies anymore,he needs to shorter the points sharping his serve,otherwise it's over,he will only go so far because he will always fight with energy against him,either himself or young players.
@@franzkranz7827 naja wenn beide sich nur 2 mal bei den australien open traffen und 10 bei den french open. Naja es gibt ja ein grund warum nadal kaum auf novak trifft bei den australien open und wimbledon. Das zeigt wie schwach nadal eigentlich in wimbledon und bei den australien open ist.

Rafa, the question is: have you stopped learning as a player, given your current circumstances??? you know, with a clarity beyond clear, that you cannot play a four-hour match and then hope to be as alert and energized in the next match. the goal therefore must be to keep points short and fast. and that means perhaps learning to anticipate and execute quick points at the net whenever the opportunity presents itself. you can no longer play the exact same game on clay when you were 19 years old. you are almost 20 years older. so, have you stopped learning? because if you have and insist on playing the same game over and over again, then you clearly have not understood that the game has moved on. the score would have been 6-0 6-0 with Alcaraz or Sinner; Borges is a reasonably good player, but he really is not in the uppermost levels of the game. and you lost to him because, in the previous match, you decided to play the same game. you have stopped learning. and therefore must seriously think about retiring.
I wish he would manage to reinvent himself, right now he plays the same style that he used during his peak. Fight fight fight. That’s too much for the body.
He really need to fix his serve,he needs something different on that aspect of his game,that's the solution he needs,in his early 20's he didn't have to worry about his serve because of his defence and speed,but now his body can't handle anymore,38 years of age if you can't serve well to shorter the points it's over,Federer had to play aggressive changing tactics sharping his serve shorting the points to play at high level in his late 30's that was the key,Nadal and his team were always stubborn about changing ever since uncle Toni.
not much to analyse, Rafa...you know better than anybody you don't move anywhere as well as you used to...there are other reasons but that's number one
Amigo ya para Grand Sland no esta. Es nejor q se retire jugo con alginos jugadores nobtan buenos si juega con un sinner con el miwmo Djockovic no tiene vida
Its good that he is not satisfied...that will give him the drive to change what is needed. He used to have the cutting edge while playing most games on clay. He doesnt have it right now and he wins with heart, tenacity and toughness. Its good for top 25 not more
Nonsense. He said he's practicing much better than he's playing in the matches. That means he's capable of much more than we're seeing - and that's after two years of injury recover and a handful of matches. There're two big questions: can he remain injury-free and does he want to keep playing after this year? If he can't stay healthy then he won't get the practice, match-play and confidence to really fuel his "comeback." We know he's always been a guy who needs a lot of matches to feel his best. And if, for whatever reason, he doesn't want to keep playing after this year, then it's all moot.
@@BradJ-tu6hi ,It's doesn't look like that at all,he wants to reach a better level,if it was "gracefully get to the end" plan he would announce retirement after losing to Zverev in the French Open,he need to sharp his serve and shorter the points otherwise it's pretty much over for him,his body can't handle long rallies anymore.
He knows really well his body .If He cancelled his double with Casper Ruud there were alarming signs of lack of energy. I believe if He knew In the morning practice He will not be able to win and I saw in the second set He let it go to avoid injuries . In Olympics to play double and single will be very difficult . I am not sure He will not withdraw from double let see how his body recover this week?
Now expect Rafa to give another less than average performance at the Olympic, and maybe, just maybe after that it will dawn on him his time has come to retire , but I wouldn't hold my breath...
If you can’t do long matches anymore then grand slams over 5 sets is not going to work is it. Superior opponents are also not going to work. Getting best of players I’ve never heard of. It’s time Rafa
Necesita mayor rodaje mas partidos exigentes, mejorar el servicio recuperar esa derecha y poder confirmar los quiebres eso creo que se debe a los pocos partidos que ha disputado por eso le cuesta mantener la concentracion
As big a fan as I am of Nadal, I think he should gracefully retire now. No matter how good you are, you can’t defeat age. If he is struggling against emerging players, he is going to be steamrolled by the top players. His shots just have nothing on them. Nadal should call it quits now. He has nothing to prove. He has built a legacy and he should not destroy.
Too hasty IMO. He's played very few matches the last months, then played a succession of long matches without a day off. He should definitely play several tournaments to discover his true current best level. As for destroying his legacy - be serious; several great players continued long after their last GS. Only the best years count towards a champion's legacy; e.g., no one cares much about McEnroe struggling in the early 90s, they rightly only consider his sublime peak years from 1980-84.
I'm a huge fan, too, and I disagree bigly. He said that he's practicing much better than he's playing, so he's capable of much more than we're seeing in the matches. IF he can stay healthy and IF he wants to keep playing next year, he can stay competitive. More to the point, plenty of times this week he looked like he was really enjoying himself out there. He's certainly not concerned about "proving" himself. He has a short time left - a few months? 6 months? A year, two max? I want for him exactly what he decides is best.
Difficult to play worse, and they say this guy is humble??? The interview is plenty of excuses in his only way of trying to look cool. He was overplayed, end of story!
