This match, a 5 setter against Thiem and an intense 4 set win against Bashilasvili. Nadal had a difficult tournament. He had to retire in the semi against delpo
I know Nadal lost the number 1 ranking in 2018, despite achieving it in 2017 and 2019, but in my opinion, 2018 was his best year out of the three. If he didn't have so many injuries, he would have retained number 1 no doubt.
An injury free Nadal is fun to watch. He is formidable n so very hard hard to beat. Likely he will grab 26 GErs when Father Time closes the final curtain.
Wowww...I was right there. That night I could see in a VIP suite with dinner this match, the Williams and Del Potro vs Verdasco...and I could meet and shake hands the Spanish legend Manolo Santana...no bad for one night, right?
This was a tough match, very physical. This match started his knee acting up on him, which would derail his run. No worries, he would be back next year and win 4th U.S. Open.
The guy in fuchsia, standing nine feet behind the baseline looping shots back and most points ending with an uf error would have, correctly, been deemed a pusher in the old days.
@@andrejmitrovic4958 We all know Novak is the best, but he doesn't bring in the ratings like Rafa, most tennis fans would choose to watch Rafa live over Novak, not saying that Novak isn't fun to watch, but unless he's on defense mode he's pretty boring.
Thank you so much for uploading this amazing match!!!!!! I have been looking forward to this one for a while!!! If you get a chance can you consider uploading: 1. Federer vs. Tiafoe 2017 2. Nadal vs. Mayer 2017 3. Del Potro vs. Federer 2017 4. Thiem vs. Johnson 2018
Rafael Nadal igra dopingovan kako moze zapadnjacka banda da pusti da igra turnire umesto zabrane i odmerene kazne po Zakonu. Sta On radi na terenu je apsoluticki nedozvoljeno ali sad vidim o sta znaci EU. Mafija.
Huh, if only the ATP did thorough drug testing throughout the year… oh wait they do. Serbian username is all I need to know about your comment. Get a life fangirl
This was great! Exceptional effort from Rafa, playing over 4 hours with an injured knee and not giving up.
Thank you for putting this up in 1080.
Yes... injured because, he retired in the semi-finals... but that was bad attitude, really...
@@911801111801 what is bad attitude? Do you even how it may feel playing continuously with an injury I don't understand how can people be so toxic
@@swarnabhdasgupta6572 More than likely, he's a Djokovic fan. It comes with the territory.
Nadal brings out the best in his opponent, but alas, to no avail. Yes, such a treat to watch Nadal plays ❤️

@@r.c.c.10 The 5-setter against Thiem killed him.
@@MishaWilson Yeah, he ended his season there. One of the most physical matches ever.
This is one of the best 4-set match I've ever seen
3:26:30 - MAN, WHAT AN ENERGY IN THAT POINT!! THE CROWD WERE SO RESTLESS AND SCREAMED LIKE THEY'RE ABOUT TO TEAR THE FURNITURE!!!!
WOW the audience, we really need the crowd back in tennis, especially at the U.S. open 2021.
this match and the next one took a toll on his body!!
Such an enthralling match! Looking forward to revisiting it. 👍
They're both so big and powerful. It really is a titanic battle.

RAFA NADAL IS A VERY PATIENT PLAYER UNTIL HE WINS IT APPEARS THAT HE DOES NOT FEEL TIRED

It’s a shame that Rafa didn’t win the 2018 US Open
Or Alcaraz
@@maudreyb438 🤨
At least Rafa won the 2 US Opens the year before and the year after though in 2017 and 2019.
How has Khachanov level dropped so much?
He is only after Russian biches
idk I can’t stop looking at Nadal’s shorts IYKYK
Epic match
It's an odd year so it looks like it's Rafa's turn to win the US Open this year
Novak's turn now.

Who could forget when he won his first title in the odd year of 2010
@@rishbahpandey8697 Theim Monfis, Murray, not more but close enough.
My Kevin. Friends. yeah a champion congradulation.
Khachanov was drained dry. He wouldn't have been able to play a fifth set
Wow...that’s a really close match
Viva Rafael Nadal
i feel like khachanov doesn't serve like this anymore.
رافا RAFA🌹🌹
Great match
Correction my.. just want a tennis but the bottom insoles is funny.
I gave this video the 1100th like!
Lol the sleevles shirt is for 20 yo’s not a guy who looks beyond 50
watch scene 2.43.06. What a bad genius!
Рафа навсегда!)
Many players just came so close but never passed... why , why , why...?
How to win a match without a single ace.

Water bottles must be aligned for him to go super mode
