Two records were created today. 1. 11 Roland Garros titles the most by any person in a grand slam in the open era. 2. 6 minutes Highlights by Roland Garros. Remarkable achievement
I still remember when people said that nadal wouldn’t be able to return to his top form after he got injured a few years back. Now he’s winning another title
Well he would feel so comfortable on that court. When you thin in finals people get a bit nervous, even the good players. But when you have won the thing so many times it would be routine
he has improved since last year - should make for a more competitive final, even if he will feel some fatigue from playing 4 days in a row i think it is?
Yes, I came back to get a reminder of how the 2018 final played out and figure out what to expect in tomorrow's final. I think I'll go with Nadal again. His current form, demolition of Federer in the semis, and resume of 11 RG titles supports my guess. Eleven titles! Eleven! Just how the heck does any one person win eleven titles of a global pro sports event that holds once (not twice or thrice) a year.
No player in tennis history (in the open era) has ever won the same grandslam 11 times and the remarkable thing is that this era is the most competitive era in tennis history. History has been made.
He is the greatest of all time in my book. Roger may have a more general success in the sport but never had and can have this resilience and mental power. His fighting spirit and mental consistency, control under pressure is second to none. His achievements in connection with these attributes trancends beyond tennis. So dominating in 1 surface and a GS, despite all that injury without a strong serve advantage. And so humble; example to sportsman all around the world. He has never been a brat from the getgo like some others!
He won US 3 times and wimbledon 2 times against the likes Federer and Djoko when people said he won't last long right when he started cause of his playing style... well
What more can one say that hasn't already been said. We are living in a time when we are witness to the two best arguably three best players in tennis history (Roger, Rafa, & Novak). How blessed we are to bear witness to what these 3 have achieved and continue to achieve, even in their advancing ages. Now Rafa adds to that legacy and becomes the first player in the open era (after 1968) to win one grand slam event 11 times. I am so proud to be his fan!!!
Andrea Evolti for consideration of being the GOAT, I think it is necessary if Nadal doesn't tie or beat Federer in grand slams title after both finished their career
Gracias Rafa, gracias por demostrar que ante la adversidad y el dolor nunca hay que desistir. GRACIAS CAMPEÓN tu haces que ser español sea un orgullo
Federer and this guy are like the lightning and the rumble that comes after in a storm...the last 6 grand slam have won them. From fed fan, congrat to rafa, a monster!, see you in wimbledon
For those of you saying ho hum routine, look at the level these guys are playing at. Look at the power and the movement. This was anything but routine. This is just how good Nadal is.
It’s hard to imagine that Nole has 12 grand slams in total and Rafa has 11 French opens alone..... Was expecting a 5 setter today but Rafa clearly wasn’t in the mood for that. The greatest for me
Rebeca linares Nadal has been injured in teh clay court season before he even had to pull out in the French open 2016 before he even played (he never did that at a grand slam event), so your argument is kind of invalid, the reason Nadal rarely skips clay court season tournament is because he makes sure he is in a top form by skipping tournaments before it, and clay doesn't add the same stress on his body the way Hard courts and grass do. Also Federer winning grand slams at 36 years old is even more suspicious, funny how all of his fans seem to forget that fact, if anyone should be further investigated for substance abuse it is Federer by a long shot.
Nah. I have to say that this one was by far the worst Nadal ever played in French Open final. Too bad that for Thiem, 40% Rafa still is too much to even win a set.
Technically Thiem is able to beat Nadal on RG, but I am very sure tomorrow he will enter the central court with fear and too much respect and thus less concentration. Without open mind and confidence it is impossible to beat Nadal. Remember Federer on Friday, the same story. High quality play but no faith in success and thus too many unforced errors and bad decisions in critical moments.
Rafael Nadal the greatest player of all time alongside with Federer. It's like watching a play from another dimension. Congrats Rafa from your Indonesian fan!

Greatest champion of them all , completing the trifecta of 11 barcelona, monte carlo and RG once again. So happy for him and i hope he goes on and win even more, surpassing or at least equalling fed's 20. On a side note, this is the first time in his 11 victories that he is still standing after winning
Congratulations Rafa! You are a true inspiration. I must say that I am amazed at your determination and your ability to come back from injury so many times to become a champion multiple times in your career! I hope you can continue to win championships and play for many more years to come! Vamos!
Rafa Nadal the "BEAST"!!! Mentally and physically, without question, the greatest this game has seen. For the past 15 years this man has overcome and broken through all obstacles. For while a Djokovic was up there with Rafa when it comes to mental toughness. But even Novak couldn't overcome all his demons, as is evident now.
Novak is back to his peak Now, almost flawless the way he plays. I knew Rafa would lose after watching the 1st set of the AO finals. Can Novak win RG 2019? Yes , he can. But a healthy Rafa is favorite against anyone @RG including this peak Novak. Clay is very different from hard court, there's a reason why he won 11 RG, MC & Barcelona, and still counting. If Novak comes up against Rafa at RG 2019, I'd still say Rafa will eventually find a way to win. I personally think Novak can win at least 2-3 GS in 2019 if he can stay healthy, but maybe not RG. Don't forget Dominic is right up there with them too. Rafa is my favorite to win the RG if he is healthy, with Novak & Dominic as the 2nd favorite...
At this point French open organizers might aswell suspend the men's event till Nadal retires and ship the trophy to Mallorca every year...!:) I mean... What's the point... why waste everyone's time :: #Rafaopen #number11

It's ridiculous how people are just comparing Roger and Rafa. They talk about who's won more GS's on different courts/tournaments instead of comparing their gameplay, diversity or ability 🤣🤣🤣. Please stop, it's just toxic. They simply are the Mozart and Beethoven of tennis.
Roger Moger I don't think the French crowd was supporting Thiem, they just wanted to see a close match, but they love Rafa as was seen when they gave a long standing ovation to Rafa after he received the trophy.
Answer: Its imposible that god be with Thiem if he is actually playing against him. RAFA RG CHAMPION ANOTHER FACKING TIME, AND NOT JUST ANOTHER TIME, 12 ANOTHER TIMES.
I feel like it is bigger than Lance's Tour titles and Phelps' 8 gold. The only thing that bothers me is that we know Lance was on PED's and Phelps is highly suspicious. It hurts to believe Nadal did it dirty, because I love the guy.
iFenom_z I mean an Australian open, two wimbledons and five bloody us opens? That’s some serious work on hard courts and grass courts even though he is ultimately a clay court specialist
@@zice209 Yup! Not to mention that Nadal (from since 2010) has been the only active player to have won 2 or more GS titles on all surface. And by the end of the 2010 season, he achieved more GS titles than Djokovic on all surface. Clay might be his best surface. But he is also good on the other surfaces.
King Rafa. Forever the best on clay. Unstoppable. Thiem is no match. People kept saying Thiem beat him twice in 2 seasons. They forgot that Nadal beat him thrice in that same time span and only lost to Thiem after he had first of all beaten him. Thiem will win the French Open one day, but not when Rafa is still Rafa. Even Federer has beaten Rafa multiple times on clay. But when it comes to RG, it's a different story. All hail the king. 17 slams. Unbelievable.
A AMsters in not a major. The masters are in preparation for the majors. I feel like when the players- especially as they get older- go to masters they will limit themselves to 4th gear. Anything over is not worth the exhaustion and risk of injury which would ruin the major. Nadal would rather have the French than 100 Monte Carlo trophies (he has like 11 anyway so he doesn't need more)
Fantastic. Thiem played strong and still Rafa played fabulous. What a joy to watch this great and humble champion play tennis. No other tennis player gives me so much joy watching. When he wins, I am really on top of the world and happy for him.
No tengo palabras para definir a esta persona única,que es de otra galaxia,el mejor deportista español de todos los tiempos,humilde,patriota,gracias Nadal por llebar siempre la bandera de España a lo mas alto,hacernos emocionar al oír el himno de España cuando ganar,eres admirable,el orgullo de España
Congrats Rafa, 11 RG wins is something breathtaking really. Even as a Federer fan I have to admit it. Hating or disrespecting such an amazing sportsman like Nadal is just stupid. Sad to still see the hateful comments though.
wangster Well they are simply blinded by their hatred to admit how Legendary Federer and Nadal is I enjoy while we still have time to witness how great fedal is.
Was a bit worried that somehow Thiem could beat the King of Clay coz of what happened in Madrid But very relieved that Rafa won Trully the King of clay Roland Garros really is home for the king❤❤❤
Soleh Hudin kayaknya di press conference Nadal blm pasti kompetisi di grass season, liat kondisi badan katanya. Tp mudah2an at least Wimbledon ikut yaaa
🐐 the king of clay buries the prince of clay in clay rafa the killing machine what a player 👏👏thiem well tried but u just lost to the king better luck next time👍
Don Draper I haven't gave him this title the tennis pundits think so..he is second best to rafa n beaten him twice the only player other than novak to give him tough time he lost today but was brilliant throughout
I think it is stupid to call him prince of clay. They did it just to give the match some flare in the media. Otherwise djoko and Federer are worlds above thiem and never were called princes of anything. Again no masters and no grands and he's being compared to Rafa? It is an insult even to thiem, they should give him some time.
I remember watching many of the multiple French Open winners dating back to the 70"s.Borg, Lendl, Wilander, Courier, Brugera, Kuerten. As amazing as all of those players were in the own right, they pale in comparison to Rafa's achievements.This man has won 86 MATCHES and be beaten ONLY TWICE. Hail to King Rafa. We will never see the likes of him again....How privileged we all are to witness the 2 G.O.A.T.s Roger and Rafa producing the best tennis we have ever seen. It has been and will continue to be a pleasure watching them make history. RAFA YOU ARE THE UNDISPUTED KING OF CLAY AND ONE OF THE GREATEST THE SPORT OF TENNIS HAS EVER SEEN!!!!
Watching Thiem now in 2019 compared to this match, he's made so much improvement with setting up his backhand slice into a cross court forehand winner. Like that is his bread and butter this year. I really want to see this final again in 2019.
6 different women winning gs from Australian open 2017 to fo 2018 the wta is lacking high quality n consistency look at this just 2 men dominating men's tennis n only few have done it for such a long duration roger federer n rafael nadal the rivalry is great n the fans may think differently but these two men are the greatest of all time their contributions r unbelievable for the sports..i m a big rafa fan but i don't hate federer n i just can't he deserves respect n love..
nadeem baig biggest fan I admire these men a lot, but it's exactly the diversity and competition on the women's tour, that I like so much. I like the surprises, I like it when the underdog has a fair chance.
Louise Kolind diversity what a lady is number one in january she fells out of top 10 in june someone who s at 10 comes at the top but just for a couple of weeks people want to see competetion like what we watched when williams sisters justin henin klijsters sharapova and jeniffer capriati were playing tennis simona halep looks good with garbine muguruza but the level is too low
It's nice that Nadal and Federer are still winning slams, but it's not a good look for the sport to have 2 30+ year olds winning all the slams. Where is the young talent?
YMCChris he is no prince. Stop the over Hype. At Dominic's age Nadal had 6 RG, 2 Wimbledons, 1 us open and 1 Australian open. By the way how many masters titles has Dominic won yet ?
I remember just few days ago I was arguing with someone on youtube because he said Rafa was playing terrible tennis and he would lose to Diego, and if Rafa is lucky he will lose to Del Potro. Well Rafa won the title :)
Dang me dont care about them,man.Haters are always gonna hate, because it's their very high mission.we just need to spend our joy and pleasure for Nadal, it will be okay :)
Any here only for to read the comment? Well this sport makes me cant stop thinking about tennis, even im already 25 yo right now😂😂, but thank you to my dad who teach me this sport very late but im enjoying. Good luck to your any tour LEGEND. Very happy when seeing top big 3 djokovik, nadal, and fed
13 years have passed since the first RG win for Nadal. 10 more times after that first one, you can still see the same determination, focus, willingness to win and passion as that kid 13 years ago. That’s why Rafa makes tennis great...that’s what makes him one incredible player. Roger, Rafa, Novak, Delpo, Murray...we are living one of the greatest generations of tennis history. Hope this new one can love up to the “challenge”.
TheBigSquirrel 50 Last year Federer told a interviewer that his motivation for playing has very little do do with trying to distance himself from Nadal in GS totals.Was he lieing?
threat to fed on grass? he needs to get past the 4th round first before you make that claim, on hardcourt maybe but its been a long time since Rafa has beaten Fed on a hardcourt
Saunik I didn't mention hard court moron, I only talked about grass and Nadal took wimbledon final from him on that once. Why didn't Roger play French open. lol You are a butthurt Fed fan.
@Saunik And Fed didn't even play on clay and we all know why, so don't kid yourself. Nadal has way better H2H record against Fed. Now quit being sore and let Nadal fans enjoy.
En mi opinión, el más grande tenista de todos los tiempos. Más allá de los récords. Él tiene la sangre, clase, fuerza mental y talento que nunca antes se había visto en un court de Tenis. Tierra batida o arcilla, la superficie más difícil y dura para jugar.
I remember people saying that his career would be short due to his playing style. 13 years later, 11 roland garros. Nadal the greatest sportsman of all times !!!
I would like to congratulate to Rafa for cementing his position of THE BEST CLAY COURT PLAYER EVER with his 11th RG trophy. Great performance. Not the king of clay, The God of Clay is more accurate… I would also politely ask French Tennis Federation leaders to stop spending money generated at Roland Garros by eating Crème brûlée and Croissants at Joel Robuchon’s L'Atelier and built a roof, at least over the Chatrier. It is disgrace to be without night sessions and even more to be without playing during rainy days in 2018, when AOpen has roofs over 3 courts, US open over 2 courts and Wimbledon will have 2 roofed courts during 2019, especially taking into considerations the aproximately same revenue for RG as for AO and Wimbledon…
Honestly playing on clay at night kinda defeats the purpose. Clay tennis is a marathon under the sun. It would lose it's charm if it is played at night
Thank you for the info, I did not look this year on stuff around, just the matches. So great, I am really happy for the roof and also for the light. So my apologies to the FTF, I did not know they already planned it. Joseph M.: Well, I do not know about that. You can have an amazing toe to toe match, lasting many hours and because of the sunset or rain the match is stopped, the usually amazing atmosphere of the crowd is destroyed and players have to play two mathes in two days, what can be significant disadvantage. I remember one amazing match like that between Safin vs Mantilla in 2004, it was 5 set war and at 7:7 in fifth set due to darkness it was stopped. Terrible moment. Next day, few games were played in front of totally different crowd. So, the lights help with this problem. And also, the night matches are usually the most watched and for me personally, these matches have the best atmosphere and crowd. But it depends of course, everyone could enjoy different aspect of the clay court tennis. If the sun is present, nothing changes. If it rains or the sun goes down, the game can continue. So win win from my point of view...
Even Federer fans, have to admit, this Guy’s will to win, is beyond-comparison!! It’s like Messi or Ronaldo? Who cares who’s better, just feel lucky to be alive in a Generation of sportsman, who’s names will live forever!!!.
Roland Garros hosts some of the finest tennis ever played ! Truly great to watch. Rafa the clay GOAT was impressing, so happy to see'm hitting the court like if it was 2008 !! Sportsmanship from both players. Iam a BIG Rafa fan, but much respect and admiration for Thiem
Two records were created today.

2. 6 minutes Highlights by Roland Garros. Remarkable achievement

Didn't Djokovic obliterate him in 2014?
Who's that? Oh, you mean the guy that lost to some random outsider? Yep!
Osaro Aigbe Because he lost two times and retired the third.
Sir Alexander 2 losses in a million years? What a bum.

Wow amazing description for the legend of tennis world thanks you
Fucking cringe.
Great use of words! :)
Why does he get credit for being alive
What a player what a champion
17 Grand slams and to be continue...
21 GS
Top quality video, beautiful intro, highlights, and outro. I'm happy to see Roland Garros is trying to become better every year. :)
It's ridiculous how people are just comparing Roger and Rafa. They talk about who's won more GS's on different courts/tournaments instead of comparing their gameplay, diversity or ability 🤣🤣🤣. Please stop, it's just toxic. They simply are the Mozart and Beethoven of tennis.
Andre the Manly Man Couldn't agree more mate well said !
Yes, good words. We enjoy with Federer and Nadal. Two live legends.
Best comment!!!
and is Djokovic Bach or Tchaikovsky?
GuntherL1 Bach
GREATEST PLAYER EVER!!!!!
Serena is the B.O.A.T federer
nadal
Serena is the B.O.A.T That's true.I totally argee with you.The fact that all of us can't deny excepted those who are crazy fed fans.
Serena is the B.O.A.T .....l.on clay
Hiếu Corki Nadal has 78% of his titles on clay. So no he can’t be the Goat....fed has also beaten him 5x in a row at 36 years old.
RAFA the legend of tennis. Feel sorry for his haters and French, who were supporting Thiem.
ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn true that. I was shocked at their behavior.
Roger Moger I don't think the French crowd was supporting Thiem, they just wanted to see a close match, but they love Rafa as was seen when they gave a long standing ovation to Rafa after he received the trophy.
@quantum singularity According to media reports, French wanted Thiem to win.
Roger Moger i hope and pray rafa nadal wins 21 grand slams and dethrones fedtard mate
Attitude Personified What media reports? Did they ask every French person living in France? I don't think so.
2019 repeat??!! ANYONE else agree????
You called it
man you're crazy
did nadal win again
just WOW
Fourth us open as well
One years later they will meet again. May God be with Dominic.
Answer: Its imposible that god be with Thiem if he is actually playing against him. RAFA RG CHAMPION ANOTHER FACKING TIME, AND NOT JUST ANOTHER TIME, 12 ANOTHER TIMES.
Undeniably superior clay performances from Rafa!!! Thank you for the joy and happiness you're bringing RafaFans, BRAVO CHAMP!!!
What.a. player PROUD FAN #UNDECIMA🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
11 times not enough❤️
Nathan Lifska 15
Nathan Lifska yup looking forward to the 12th French Open title for Nadal 😝
i want nadal win 15 rg n retired n record never be broken forever
Crushed him. 11 TITLES IN PARIS. This is the biggest achievement we've ever seen in sports.
I feel like it is bigger than Lance's Tour titles and Phelps' 8 gold. The only thing that bothers me is that we know Lance was on PED's and Phelps is highly suspicious. It hurts to believe Nadal did it dirty, because I love the guy.
lmao my bad! hahaha!!
Tout simplement le meilleur joueur de Tennis de tout les temps sur terre battue, extraordinaire !
La leyenda continua.. 2022: 14 roland garros
Rafa is the only reason, why I dont call Roger The Greatest Of all Time...I just cant......You made me cry today Rafa:) Vamos Rafa!
Yes because he's been dominant on Clay.
iFenom_z I mean an Australian open, two wimbledons and five bloody us opens? That’s some serious work on hard courts and grass courts even though he is ultimately a clay court specialist
@@zice209
Yup! Not to mention that Nadal (from since 2010) has been the only active player to have won 2 or more GS titles on all surface. And by the end of the 2010 season, he achieved more GS titles than Djokovic on all surface. Clay might be his best surface. But he is also good on the other surfaces.
@@TheTmat007 not anymore
@@bodzarnpertrvick2869
Well, hey, congrats to Djokovic.
RAFA the GOAT! 11 RG! 17 GS!
Rookie Gang federer 20 gs!! Who is the goat? :^)
Rafa because of the H2H :^)
Rookie Gang he leads the h2h only on clay LOL
Michele Gavelli Grass too
TH-cam learning no.... fed leads 2/1
King Rafa. Forever the best on clay. Unstoppable. Thiem is no match. People kept saying Thiem beat him twice in 2 seasons. They forgot that Nadal beat him thrice in that same time span and only lost to Thiem after he had first of all beaten him. Thiem will win the French Open one day, but not when Rafa is still Rafa. Even Federer has beaten Rafa multiple times on clay. But when it comes to RG, it's a different story. All hail the king. 17 slams. Unbelievable.
Daz Im Unvelievavolley* xD.
Agree
A AMsters in not a major. The masters are in preparation for the majors. I feel like when the players- especially as they get older- go to masters they will limit themselves to 4th gear. Anything over is not worth the exhaustion and risk of injury which would ruin the major. Nadal would rather have the French than 100 Monte Carlo trophies (he has like 11 anyway so he doesn't need more)
Fantastic. Thiem played strong and still Rafa played fabulous. What a joy to watch this great and humble champion play tennis. No other tennis player gives me so much joy watching. When he wins, I am really on top of the world and happy for him.
No tengo palabras para definir a esta persona única,que es de otra galaxia,el mejor deportista español de todos los tiempos,humilde,patriota,gracias Nadal por llebar siempre la bandera de España a lo mas alto,hacernos emocionar al oír el himno de España cuando ganar,eres admirable,el orgullo de España
Congrats Rafa, 11 RG wins is something breathtaking really. Even as a Federer fan I have to admit it. Hating or disrespecting such an amazing sportsman like Nadal is just stupid. Sad to still see the hateful comments though.
wangster Well they are simply blinded by their hatred to admit how Legendary Federer and Nadal is I enjoy while we still have time to witness how great fedal is.
Wimbledon 2008 epicness will never be touched
17 🏆
Was a bit worried that somehow Thiem could beat the King of Clay coz of what happened in Madrid
But very relieved that Rafa won
Trully the King of clay
Roland Garros really is home for the king❤❤❤
I feel like as the players age they don't go into 5th gear in the non-majors. Rather throw away a masters than a slam
Just out of this world. Fantastic match!!
Amazing player...Nadal is just simply Nadal... no other player comes close in style and control....
Congrats Nadal! 😁 11 RG titles!!
Deden yah jagoan kita kalah😂😂😂
Priastomo Dias iyah ....masih perlu mengasah mentalnya
itu jagoan saya rafa nadaaaal.go wembeldon
Soleh Hudin kayaknya di press conference Nadal blm pasti kompetisi di grass season, liat kondisi badan katanya. Tp mudah2an at least Wimbledon ikut yaaa
Kautsar Rahmawan iya mas dia dan sharapova kayaknya ga main di wimbledon
🐐 the king of clay buries the prince of clay in clay rafa the killing machine what a player 👏👏thiem well tried but u just lost to the king better luck next time👍
nadeem baig biggest fan no offence but has thiem won anything? How the fuck is he a ‘prince of clay’. ?
Don Draper I haven't gave him this title the tennis pundits think so..he is second best to rafa n beaten him twice the only player other than novak to give him tough time he lost today but was brilliant throughout
I think it is stupid to call him prince of clay. They did it just to give the match some flare in the media. Otherwise djoko and Federer are worlds above thiem and never were called princes of anything.
Again no masters and no grands and he's being compared to Rafa? It is an insult even to thiem, they should give him some time.
Prince of clay my ass. Hahahaha
Prince of clay? 2nd after Nadal? Lol Nadal crushed him.....
Who is here before the start of Roland Garros 2019
A comprehensive straight set win by Nasal. Bravo. Thiem also played very well throughout tournament :)
What’s wrong with Thiem wining🤷♂️
I remember watching many of the multiple French Open winners dating back to the 70"s.Borg, Lendl, Wilander, Courier, Brugera, Kuerten. As amazing as all of those players were in the own right, they pale in comparison to Rafa's achievements.This man has won 86 MATCHES and be beaten ONLY TWICE. Hail to King Rafa. We will never see the likes of him again....How privileged we all are to witness the 2 G.O.A.T.s Roger and Rafa producing the best tennis we have ever seen. It has been and will continue to be a pleasure watching them make history. RAFA YOU ARE THE UNDISPUTED KING OF CLAY AND ONE OF THE GREATEST THE SPORT OF TENNIS HAS EVER SEEN!!!!
Now It Is 100-2
the GOAT
Yes, after Federer...
zivajodid hgj2 hhahahaahahahahaha
msherwood how can he be the goat when he’s never won a world tour final
zivajodid hgj2 Federer has more titles because grand slams have 3 fast courts and 1 slow, imagine if they had evened them up to 2/2
zivajodid hgj2 no, on the same level!
Congrats Nadal! 🇪🇦
It was closer than last year.
Watching Thiem now in 2019 compared to this match, he's made so much improvement with setting up his backhand slice into a cross court forehand winner. Like that is his bread and butter this year. I really want to see this final again in 2019.
The Clay Court 👑 never failed to show up clutch moments big props for rafa Vamos!
Best forehand in the history of 🎾
CT for me del Potro has the best forehand and Nadal has the best backhand
Nitrous Oxide Nadal has the best backhand? You don't know shit about tennis
Nadal forehand is the best
Federer backhand is the best
Nathan Ong Wawrinka and Djokovic are still alive.
Nathan Ong there’s a couple guys named Djokovic and Wawrinka
6 different women winning gs from Australian open 2017 to fo 2018 the wta is lacking high quality n consistency look at this just 2 men dominating men's tennis n only few have done it for such a long duration roger federer n rafael nadal the rivalry is great n the fans may think differently but these two men are the greatest of all time their contributions r unbelievable for the sports..i m a big rafa fan but i don't hate federer n i just can't he deserves respect n love..
nadeem baig biggest fan I admire these men a lot, but it's exactly the diversity and competition on the women's tour, that I like so much. I like the surprises, I like it when the underdog has a fair chance.
Louise Kolind diversity what a lady is number one in january she fells out of top 10 in june someone who s at 10 comes at the top but just for a couple of weeks people want to see competetion like what we watched when williams sisters justin henin klijsters sharapova and jeniffer capriati were playing tennis simona halep looks good with garbine muguruza but the level is too low
nadeem baig biggest fan It's exactly what I like, that there's no dominant factor :-)
It's nice that Nadal and Federer are still winning slams, but it's not a good look for the sport to have 2 30+ year olds winning all the slams. Where is the young talent?
@@serenaistheb.o.a.t *3
And there's lots of young talent, just not as good as the big 3
I have watched many matches - but this is the best I have seen so far. Congrats to Nadal but his clay prince already knocked on the door !
YMCChris he is no prince. Stop the over Hype. At Dominic's age Nadal had 6 RG, 2 Wimbledons, 1 us open and 1 Australian open. By the way how many masters titles has Dominic won yet ?
Very exciting match
irresistable warior..invincible fighter...holding the sword till the last drop of blood..
more than king ,more then emperor!!!
Who's here after Rafael Nadal won Rolland-Garros 2019?
Olugbenger Seriki me😊
I remember just few days ago I was arguing with someone on youtube because he said Rafa was playing terrible tennis and he would lose to Diego, and if Rafa is lucky he will lose to Del Potro. Well Rafa won the title :)
Dang me dont care about them,man.Haters are always gonna hate, because it's their very high mission.we just need to spend our joy and pleasure for Nadal, it will be okay :)
Hahaha. Rafa my King
You need to find "that someone" NOW !!! Lol
Dang me ..well..maybe that someone was totally blind and ignorance.he might be choking now...hahaha
Viva Nadal 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
I’d drink Nadal’s bath water with a hint of clay
Nadal - Roland Garros legend! :)
Daniel FLS Living legend
Any here only for to read the comment? Well this sport makes me cant stop thinking about tennis, even im already 25 yo right now😂😂, but thank you to my dad who teach me this sport very late but im enjoying. Good luck to your any tour LEGEND. Very happy when seeing top big 3 djokovik, nadal, and fed
13 years have passed since the first RG win for Nadal. 10 more times after that first one, you can still see the same determination, focus, willingness to win and passion as that kid 13 years ago. That’s why Rafa makes tennis great...that’s what makes him one incredible player. Roger, Rafa, Novak, Delpo, Murray...we are living one of the greatest generations of tennis history. Hope this new one can love up to the “challenge”.
The Clay is Nadal
11 French Opens? This almost makes me want to call him the GOAT...
*BUT ONLY ALMOST*
TheBigSquirrel 50 Last year Federer told a interviewer that his motivation for playing has very little do do with trying to distance himself from Nadal in GS totals.Was he lieing?
TheBigSquirrel 50 Federer better than Dopal
Andrea franc *Nadal
At least learn to spell.
Just 3 more French Opens though. Remember he is 5 years younger than Roger!
*Droger PEDerer* sucks
Most haters of Rafa are Fed fans, who hate him only because they know he is threat to Fed even on grass.
Attitude Personified so true mate
threat to fed on grass? he needs to get past the 4th round first before you make that claim, on hardcourt maybe but its been a long time since Rafa has beaten Fed on a hardcourt
Yawn. Every real tennis fan is a fan of both. You clearly are a moron out for your 2 minutes of fame.
Saunik I didn't mention hard court moron, I only talked about grass and Nadal took wimbledon final from him on that once. Why didn't Roger play French open. lol You are a butthurt Fed fan.
@Saunik And Fed didn't even play on clay and we all know why, so don't kid yourself. Nadal has way better H2H record against Fed. Now quit being sore and let Nadal fans enjoy.
En mi opinión, el más grande tenista de todos los tiempos. Más allá de los récords. Él tiene la sangre, clase, fuerza mental y talento que nunca antes se había visto en un court de Tenis. Tierra batida o arcilla, la superficie más difícil y dura para jugar.
Mr. Rafael Nadal now holds 13 Roland Garros titles. Nadal Is My Champion!
I remember people saying that his career would be short due to his playing style. 13 years later, 11 roland garros. Nadal the greatest sportsman of all times !!!
He;s also smart and has changed his style
Nadal won once again the, could we call it, "Nadal" Open? "Roland Garros" should be reconsidered, really. Such determination to win, just amazing.
The court in Barcelona in English translates to Nadal Court
I would like to congratulate to Rafa for cementing his position of THE BEST CLAY COURT PLAYER EVER with his 11th RG trophy. Great performance. Not the king of clay, The God of Clay is more accurate…
I would also politely ask French Tennis Federation leaders to stop spending money generated at Roland Garros by eating Crème brûlée and Croissants at Joel Robuchon’s L'Atelier and built a roof, at least over the Chatrier.
It is disgrace to be without night sessions and even more to be without playing during rainy days in 2018, when AOpen has roofs over 3 courts, US open over 2 courts and Wimbledon will have 2 roofed courts during 2019, especially taking into considerations the aproximately same revenue for RG as for AO and Wimbledon…
Trů Tela I thought they were starting to improve it after this? I presumed that included a roof
RG is building the roof , It will be ready in 2020 and there will be lights in 18 courts to play in the night
Dont worry they already begin with the building of a roof on chatrier tomorrow (announced)
Honestly playing on clay at night kinda defeats the purpose. Clay tennis is a marathon under the sun. It would lose it's charm if it is played at night
Thank you for the info, I did not look this year on stuff around, just the matches. So great, I am really happy for the roof and also for the light. So my apologies to the FTF, I did not know they already planned it.
Joseph M.: Well, I do not know about that. You can have an amazing toe to toe match, lasting many hours and because of the sunset or rain the match is stopped, the usually amazing atmosphere of the crowd is destroyed and players have to play two mathes in two days, what can be significant disadvantage. I remember one amazing match like that between Safin vs Mantilla in 2004, it was 5 set war and at 7:7 in fifth set due to darkness it was stopped. Terrible moment. Next day, few games were played in front of totally different crowd. So, the lights help with this problem. And also, the night matches are usually the most watched and for me personally, these matches have the best atmosphere and crowd. But it depends of course, everyone could enjoy different aspect of the clay court tennis. If the sun is present, nothing changes. If it rains or the sun goes down, the game can continue. So win win from my point of view...
Thanks RG, road to Wimbledon
What an achievement! What an absolute legend! May the King reign for many more years! Vamos Rafa!
Even Federer fans, have to admit, this Guy’s will to win, is beyond-comparison!!
It’s like Messi or Ronaldo? Who cares who’s better, just feel lucky to be alive in a Generation of sportsman, who’s names will live forever!!!.
i hope Thiem gets a second chance against Nadal this Sunday
Ghost Rider just so he can win in straight sets again! #KingOfClay
He got it, let's see if he's gonna beat Nadal, even though I doubt it very much.
It wil be alwayse 3_0 for nadal don't worry
@@jjkk65Truth to be told I hope Thiem win his first grand slam.
Nadal 6-4 6-2 6-4
Invencible RAFA!
Una leyenda, un mito viviente. Felicitaciones Rafael por la #11.
Thank you for the great highlights ... every time. More power to you.
And today will be another victory for Rafa Nadal in this tournament!
This Austrian kid tried his hardest but it's really hard and difficult to play in Rafa's backyard!!Felicitaciones Rafa!King of Clay!Vamos!!
No hay palabras. Lo de Nadal ya es de leyenda
the most consistent tennis forehand winners
Roland Garros hosts some of the finest tennis ever played ! Truly great to watch. Rafa the clay GOAT was impressing, so happy to see'm hitting the court like if it was 2008 !! Sportsmanship from both players. Iam a BIG Rafa fan, but much respect and admiration for Thiem
