Professional tennis wouldn't have ever been this good without Nadal. Once retires, there will be a permanent void in this world of tennis for the intensity and heart he brings.
Indeed. What an era... Nadal, Federer and Djokovic, all great in different and complementary ways.
Yeah Nadal takes part in 5 matches that are easily top 10 matches in tennis history by any body's book:
Nadal vs Federer 2008 Wimbledon.
Nadal vs Verdasco 2009 AO
Nadal vs Djokovic 2012 AO
Nadal vs Djokovic 2018 Wimbledon
Nadal vs Djokovic 2013 Roland Garros.
He's easily the best player in bringing intensity and drama to tennis matches, and also doesn't hurt that he's the GOAT now that he equaled the Grand slam record. Nadal is a once in a lifetime sportsman.
@@gherbihicham8506 I disagree w goat statement, imo the only 2 viable goat statements r either there are no goats or there r 3
@@darrenlang1111 EXACTLY. Nadal is CLAY GOAT, but no way is he the all-time GOAT with such a lop-sided clay-dominated career, even if a spectacular one.
@@sidtrip1 If we count only natural surfaces , where tennis was born , Nadal has 13 RG + 2 Wimbledon´s = 15 Slams , Djoko with 2 + 6 = 8 Slams and Fed with 1 + 8 = 9 Slams. Im not saying Nadal is GOAT by any means , but i see nobody talking about this undeniable fact.
Edit : Yes i know Novak has the best numbers and he deserves it , will probably go down as the GOAT for now.
Nadal mental toughness in the 4-3 game was incredible.
@Smite Stuff - Spot on. I think he and Nole are so tough mentally in the clutch. More so than Fed.
@@missourimanful Nadal is great when it comes to mentally a lot better than Federer but a lot worse than Novak...(it's just my opinion tho).
Mental Djokovic>Nadal>>Federer
@@yellowhuang5920 Pretty much.
Mental: Nadal > Djokovic > Federer
These aren't highlights. Its just the condensed set. And thats good.
also happens to be an extraordinarily amazing set of tennis.
Delpo is such a player even if his opponent is our favourite player we feel sorry if Delpo looses. Such a great and humble person. Miss him in tennis.
I got a ticket to centre court for this match! My first time at Wimbledon. Was hoping to see Federer but he was moved to Court One and I ended up seeing this which ended up being one of the greatest five setters I've ever seen. Definitely preferred it to Rafa's semi with Djokovic. Delpo's running forehands clipping the line were unreal to witness in person...
Eastwood Records I love it at 5-3, Delpo hit that mega forehand. I and most of the arena thought it was way long until the scoreboard was updated and then there was a secondary oooo
I came back from work, I remember seeing Fed 2-0 up against Anderson, was shocked, when it was 2-2, I thought- surely it would be over, with the way Federer was playing! How wrong I was, I didn't expect that shocker choke, then again, I guess this jinx is becoming the norm though, I will never expect victory, until that last ball is hit.
"Definitely preferred it to Rafa's semi with Djokovic". Ahem, ok.
@@ashb001 i know right. Someone having a different opinion. Shocking!
@@samfitzpatrick7891 Of course they can have that right. There are people who don't like the view of a perfect sunset, or the smell of a rose, or a match between two of the three all time greats on Center court at Wimbledon, where the final set "only" went to 10-8. (A more likely explanation for that distaste could be that Djokovic won that match, so it suddenly ain't a classic match any more - but lets not go there).
Two of the most humble and respected tennis players in the history.
Both Rafa and Del Potro forehand is a work of art.
That was sad for Del Potro he gave Nadal everything he had and still couldn't break him and to see Del Potro cry after losing was brutal.
Cry baby delpotro
Yeah, beacuse crying is such a humiliating act after losing a brutal match against one of the best athletes of all time. It isn't like no other top tier sportsman have every broken down in tears after losing.....
Del Potro didn't cry after losing.
@@pauljohnson6019 hater
@@jinduowang3093 Federer was clearly rattled, over that challenge delay, and never recovered mentally, or he would have won that match, whether Delpo played his best or not.
There are tons of shots in here that are world class and should be shown more often
What a forehand Delpo had. An absolute monster but at the same time, beautiful.
2018 Wimbledon was wicked. The semi final between Nadal and Djokovic was also incredible. And the Isner - Anderson match was insane as well.
And Anderson-Federer. Poor Anderson was exhausted in the final.
I can feel Nadal's intensity and power through my tiny little phone screen.. he's friggin' amazing!
One of best matches in the history of Wimbledon.
I really thought Nadal would win this Wimbledon after seeing his performance in this semi. 2018 was his best performance on grass in long long time
Two of the best forehands ever on display. What a effort from both.
Rafa is also one of the best grass players of all time. The intensity, passion and variety of shots Rafa plays here is incredible! Delpo seems to only pounce on forehands, but Rafa also playing plenty of drop shots and signature banana FH inside out wherever required. Wish he wins one more Wimby before he hangs up the racket. Vamos all the way.
False nadal is also Roland garros
Barely top 10
@@donvito7344 name top 10 players with 2 wimbledon grand slam wins .. or who has played 5 wimbledon finals
@@donvito7344 Buddy Rafa would have at least 4 Wimbledon titles if it weren't for Federer, that's not including his Finals/SF losses to Federer/Djokovic. The same can be said for Roger and Roland Garros, and yes, even though he only has 1 title, Roger is still one of the greatest clay court players of all time.
Delpotro reminds me a bit of Safin. Both injury prone but huge hitters that can beat anyone on their day
Its not the matter of whether they can beat the best or not. They have already beaten the best many times.
Delpo choked- he had one big opportunity to break at 7.23, but hits a massive mishit forehand down the line, that lands 7ft out! He'll be haunted by that shot for a long time- that may have been his only chance to break, and put pressure on Nadal's serve- but he rushed, and played like a fool.
one of my favourite matches
Don't know if any other condensed set can be as intensive as this!! Incredible intensity..
14:54 the most emotional thing I’ve ever seen so far
One of the best performance of Nadal on grass court.👌👌
Shame he lost against Djokovic on the semifinals, he had his third Wimbledon right there. It was an extremely close semifinal, and the closed roof (even without rain) probably decided the match. Kevin Andersno spent 6 hours with Federer in the QF and another 6 against Isner in the SF; he was exhausted in the final.
That backhand from Rafa to get the break for 3-2 ♥️. Rafa's so brave!
Delpotro forehand is crazy
rafa in wimbledon has really grown on me. so fun to watch him play his very much evolved fast game.
i hope he can go deep this year, i‘ve missed him incredibly much on this court, it’s just so refreshingly different and i think rafa has got the game to give it one more good try.
Nadal had always been great on grass. That's why he made to the final of every Wimbledon tournament he entered from 2006-2011, and won the title twice. It's just that after 2011, he had a run of bad luck at the at Wimbledon.
Nadal chained 5 straight finals in his young days winning 2. First 3 against Prime Federer, of which he won the last one, and last one against Prime Djokovic.
He's missed some years because of injury (he won in 2008 and 2010 but skipped 2009). He had a draught for 5 years or so, but last three times he's reached the SF: in 2018 playing arguably better than Djokovic, in 2019 playing great against Federer and in 2022 having to withdraw due to injury.
Nadal was considered in 2012 already top 10 grass players of all time.
If delpotro roars like a bear, it is safe to say there wont be an opportunity for the opponent to win the point.
But the opponent is nadal, the roar of lion..
@@Laland_1196 or if the opponent is Djokovic aswell... US Open 2018 proves it
@zakaria djouzi Delpo didn't meet Rafa in the 2000's except for US Open 2009 and 1 other match i think, their whole meetings were in the past decade the 2010's when Rafa was 24+ years old
@zakaria djouzi it doesn't matter when the players have started their best games, it matters how much they evolve in it and where their best game has reached to. The best is Novaks game to be fair no one can ever be so consistent and dominant than him.
@@velekorunoski5997 dominant? No one is so dominant than rafa on clay.. If rafa is not injured he is the best player with more grand slams and master 1000..But still now he is the best.
Nadal played 2 matches of the decade in 3 days. I wish he had hit that back-hand a bit better on break point in the 5th against Djokovic.
A wonderful sport at it’s finest. What a couple of gladiators.
Always ❤️ delpo.. Most respected on tour.. I always feel sorry when he loses..
RaFa mental toughness is unmatchable.. It's treat to watch when your both favorite players competing in a match 💞
the most underrated match of the decade
It's not underrated
the sound quality of hitting in this video is tremendous.
Remember how people used to sit next to each other. Unthinkable now.
I really don't know what exactly it is about Delpo that makes him so likeable. On court he was a beast and then off court he just seems so nice, like a guy you'd love to share a drink with. I can't say that about a lot of tennis players. Even Federer and Nadal who are known for their ultimate sportsmanship are still very serious guys most of the time, Delpo always just let his emotions flow and it was great to see. he roared in victory and cried in defeat and both made us love him just the same
Didn't realize nadal went back to back 5 setters in QF and SF
He done it many times
Cómo te queremos delpo
Q final más bonito , q imagen pa recordar dos amigos dando lo todo y con respeto 😍😍😍
Nadal’s the type of person no matter what until and unless the ball drops he’s running for it! 🐐
This match was 10 times better than the 2023 final.
This was a great one! Thanks for posting it!
The best two sportsman in tennis. What a beautiful match it was.
This is the most beautiful video on TH-cam for me. Period.
Wimbledon 2018 had the best series of finals I think I've ever seen. The Final itself was a bit disappointing, but the lead-up was ridiculously good.
Poor Anderson was exhausted after playing 5 hours in QF and 6 in SF.
Que bueno eres Nadal,que suerte haber disfrutado de tu época dora.
Que grande eres del Potro,un gran deportista y mejor buena persona.
Del potro had the most powerful forehand ever!!!! Insane performance from him can’t still believe he lost this match
that embrace at the end was so wholesome
Two titans of forehands on a world-class display
Mamita querida, que partidazo nos mostraron y eso que solo fue el 5to set. Por mí parte me hubiera gustado que DelPo ganara, hizo un gran esfuerzo pero tuvo muchos errores no forzados. Y de Nadal no puedo decir que me asombra porque el tipo ya es una máquina lista para jugar esta clase de partidos. Grandes los dos!!
This is a classic match ...
Such a shame Delpo couldn't win this one - love watching those Thorhand winners and hearing the sound of the ball coming off his strings, unreal power
Un gran clásico...te amo rafa!!!😘😍😍😘 te amo delpo! 😘
Para mi gusto, el mejor tenista que a tenido Argentina ..
Hay muchos otros pero Del Potro, vaya maquina .. y que latigazos ..
Who is here after Wimbledon 2020 cancellation announcement???
im sure the US open will also be cancelled.
What about French open???
@@acerusher4859 French Open is scheduled to be held in September I guess. Clashing with Laver Cup
@@arkaprotimroychoudhury1152 Federer is playing French Open though, that is bad news for Thiem now, I bet he thought he was favourite in May, after he heard Roger pulled out- now I'll bet he'll choke again, if he reaches another finals.
I'll never forget this game❤️❤️❤️❤️
What an amazing match. And amazing highlights too
12:50 Holy Smoke!!!
Indeed it was an extraordinary match from two giant of the game
12:57 that old Del potro backhand is still in there deep down, he started unleashing it.
Sf 2013 wimbledon delpotro play even better there with his old doublehanded backhand shoot
That was a awesome game from delpo.👍👍
I know Nadal won but this should be remembered for del potro. He gave it everything he had.
Coming from a Nadal fan
Underrated tennis match
Nadal and Djokovic, easily the most sporting players after a win or defeat. That hug was priceless.
Djokovic's _sportsmanship_ after the match is nothing but an act. Tons of people can see right through him.
Quality of the highest order in this set 🔥
1 of All Time Greatest Sets.
Insane final set!!!!
Very stuff match, unbelievable! No regret at all! 💐💐👏👏
Che grandissimo match 2 fuoriclasse assoluti!!
One of the legendary match
Rafeal Nadal Is my favorite tennis player!
Just incredible ball striking in this match.
Yyyessss! We needed this
Make one for Djokovic-Nadal semi-final, Djokovic- Federer final and Djokovic-Delpo semi-final as well.
When did Djokovic del potro semifinal take place in this Wimbledon?
@@MKD1101 2013
I miss seeing delpo. Always seemed like such a gentle giant and always created great scenes like the one at the end here
Great match for both~~!
just amazing
Mega match mega Spieler so wie alle es ist unfassbar wie krass profispieler sein können 😊😮
Este set es la historia de Roger va Rafa en síntesis.....Delpo tuvo 5 Oportunidades de quiebre para recuperar el servicio y no pudo hacerlo
Federer perdió el 70% de los partidos contra Nadal así mismo es decir quebrando 3 veces en 25 oportunidades
Nadal es único para defender....
من افضل النقاط اللي شفتها في لعبة التنس الارضي وبين أقوى اللاعبين واااااااو
Amazing players
11:56 Monster Forehands!!!
I come here again and again to watch the hug at the end.
He may not always win but I'll always root for Del Potro.
8:58 FH from Hell!!!
Damn spain is in big trouble. Protect rafa at all cost!!! Stay home!
italkcrab vaccine level: nadal on clay
Dont worry, rafa will not even feel this new cold virus
Correct me if I m wrong but this was his last great grand slam performance... what a loss .... injuries I curse you
My two favorite players 💕❤️
Merciii les mecs pour ce combat ! La SF dantesque entre rafa/nole
Rafa sert pour le match
Mais contre le djoker
Il sert un peu contre lui même
Il craint tellement le retour
De nole
Il aurait mérité une nouvelle finale à Wim
On verra cette année si le tournoi se joue
Dernière chance pour lui
Imagine qu' il atteigne son 20 eme titre sur herbe !
Ce serait encore plus beau
Qu'à Roland !!!
Vamos Rafa
Tu es un grand joueur de gazon
Avec le meilleur petit jeu de toucher du circuit
Dans les carres de service
Et très souvent du fond de court également
Quelle main de maître !
Most classic GrandSlam matches involves Nadal✌️ His matches are never boring.
Wonderful guys..
I remember this game vividly I went to bed thinking Nadal had lost the game and then I woke up to the shock of like. My love of this game rest solely on Nadal….an absolute GOAT!
Amazing how hard and aggressive both hit..just blasting it toe to toe..!
12:40 commentator gasping
I always gets this sense of feeling that nadal matches are always interesting to watch unlike fed and djoker because their wins seems convincing , but nadal may be because of his inability to close out matches or because of his serve - he takes matches to the last set and makes it interesting . He makes his fans and tennis fans to watch the match curiously.
Make full highlights for the semifinal
Que jogo! 👏🏼👏🏼
Sooo good. Was there ice on the court tho? So many slips 😂
that's grass for ya
rally at 10:45 is insane, how important it was to nadal too
every point from del potro is a higlight itself
best set ever iconic
WHAT A MATCH
Man Delpo had so many BPs that he could have converted in that final set. Real shame he had to lose. But in the end, only one man can win that day.
10:45 what's with the two watches?
Lol, seems nobody noticed.
Weird flex but ok lol
that's a cartier Santos and a Rolex Daytona. Essentially the guy is wearing an entry level sports car in his wrists.
Two Times The Fun 😉
@@valdencorr2861 who is the men that is wearing them?
I remember watching this. What a brilliant match from two giants of the sport. 👏 Del Potro is missed and Nadal will be too when he retires.
It’s weird to see barely nobody mentions the state of the delpo’s backhand which is almost non existing due to injury.
With only forehand and a 50% backhand he managed to take it to fifth set speaks volumes.
