It's not over until the last point, that's what rafa taught me in the last 15 years
Yes, truly a fighter to the end.
Master of the mental game
Me too
He was having flashbacks of losing against tsitsipas last year despite being up 2-0, and was like not this time
Nadal, if not Djokovic, is the master of extended breaks, and he's done it for so long everyone has forgotten to notice, including the umpires. It's just... y'know... part of his style, his approach, his personality; like carefully arranging his bottles just so. Just a harmless quirk...
Amazing move w the extended highlights AO, keep ‘em coming for years ahead!
This BS highlight does not even show the service break in the final set. Most likely made by some stupid AI.
They consider 8min of a 5 setter “EXTENDED highlights” 😂.
they didn't show the controversial parts where shapo was upset at nadal's delays. conveying that everything was peachy when it wasn't.
@@FollowFunk don’t complain. We get 3 min at other slams
@@FollowFunk wow people can never be satisfied.
So many heartbreaks for Rafa in AO throughout his career. I wish he clinches his 21st here. Fingers crossed. Vamos Rafaaaaaaaaa
God willing all his fans pray for a successful semi and final win and 21st. 5 AO finals reached he so deserves a 2nd slam down under works so hard.

I knew after that 2nd set something was off. Rafa had no energy and he looked like he was in pain or something similar. Dennis played great but something was wrong with rafa. Set 4 was painful. I thought it was all over. When he took a medical timeout I turned off the game. I didn't wanna watch him get defeated by injury. I honestly cannot believe he won. What a champion. But I don't think he will be able to sustain this kind of tennis for long. Australia is brutally hot. And rafa is gaining age. 2022 might as well be one of the final chances for rafa to win a slam. It hurts to watch sometimes. But Rafa will forever be in my heart. So many years of great tennis. Youre been so inspiring, and this match was just one of the many examples. Thank you rafa
You’re definitely like me lol I did the same
Me too, I switched off the tv end of 4th set lol
He is getting a two day rest before the S.F and only a high of 27°C. He'll play better in his S.F
Nadal faking injury again that piece of s. Shaparov beating himself with countless unforced errors after Nadal made him wait on court. Now easy undeserved walk trough against easiest remaining opponent Berittini.
@@Ken42908 he waited 5 minutes, relax
You can't see it in this video, but Djokovich too broke a racket at home on the last point.
lol
He threw it at his TV smashing it to pieces! LMAO...
bwa ha ha, hilarious! Imagine Djoker just sitting in his armchair crushing something in his bare hands as the frustration takes over!
Lmao
Probably beat his wife afterwards too, good old Serbian tradition
s/o to whoever’s making these highlights in record time!
I know right??!
Watched the 5th set and wanted to knkw how we got here so am surprised but elated.
U Nadal fan?
I'm a huge Nadal fan!!🙂💪🙌
The power of working from home

.
Such a complex match! The heat was extreme and Nadal's energy was totally gone. He was able to recover after the sun got off the court but it was still very painful and I think the exhaustion got Denis as well. The final 4 games of the 5th set Nadal was literally walking during Denis's serves. Nadal gambled 100% of his remanning energy on maintaining his serve plus Denis unbelievable increase of errors.
Denis shat it
This honestly couldve gone either way. In the fifth, shapo just ended up making too many errors on his end and didnt adjust to nadals huge drop in intensity. Nadal worked hard to the very last point but after watching this whole match it seemed like shapo indeed had the momentum to win until he didnt.
Nadal gets to pause the game whenever he wants I guess… kills the momentum
Shapo has the skills but lacks the mentality.
Denis also beat himself in the first two sets with too many unforced errors. With Nadal injured and unable to move in sets 3 and 4; he should have put away the 5th set. Champions fight back despite being injured
Michael. That’s not true. Rafa took a bathroom break after he won the first two sets and obviously he’d be breaking his own momentum by doing so, and he took another bathroom break after the 4th set, both times to change clothes because he’s the biggest sweater on tour. It’s within the rules and everyone takes bathroom breaks to do this, let alone in 91 degrees during a 4 hour plus match. He received pills on a routine changeover and didn’t cause any delay in this match. The better player won the match. It’s a testimony to Nadal’s genius that he won the match despite being sick to his stomach. Look at the breaks Fed took to get massages before the 5th set in the AO semi and finals. Nadal is a very fair player. I’d say he and Fed very rarely have taken medical timeouts unlike Djokovic albeit Djokovic has done it a bit less as time went on. He was horrible with the breaks during much of his career.
@@jerseyneil1 But that comes with Shapo's game. He goes for the shots, and that sometimes gives rise to a lot of unforced errors. When he doesn't go for the shots, he's too passive and he becomes a sitting duck.
my god this aus open has been really entertaining.
tennis is never one man's game . nadal fan here .
Rafa surely has to be favored over Berrettini. It would be pure entertainment if we get the Nadal-Medvedev final which is getting awfully close to happening. I don’t see Sinner, Felix or Tsitsipas stopping Med on the bottom.
@@moviefan4life166 med is unstoppable in his draw at this point, only ones who could stop now him are nadal, nole, and zverev. Med vs nadal final is more than likely going to happen but berettini is also in good shape
They’re lucky joker not in this they’d all get wiped out. This would have been his 10th Australian open victory
@@ozzee5094 💀💀nah Djokovic was never gonna beat Medvedev even if he played. He wasn’t gonna win anyways lmfao
@@moviefan4life166 tsitsipas is gonna win from medvedev
Absolutely criminal to omit nadal’s service game to make it 5-3 in the fourth set
And completely skipping over Nadal breaking Shapo's serve in the fifth. Extended highlights shouldn't just be some cool shots, they need to tell the story of the match.
This is a BS highlights, made by some stupid AI.
Agreed. Very spotty highlights.
Agreed, as grateful as I am for these 8 minute highlights and yes maybe I am asking for too much but these are NOT extended highlights. Sorry but there are PLENTY of big points left out and extended highlights should go for at least 15 minutes like what the US Open do as there are plenty crucial points not covered here.
Even what the AO did in 2020 when they took their to produce proper extended highlights is better than this.
I stopped watching after the 4th set fearing the same fate as the 2021 AO QF match against Tsitsipas. I hope Rafa serves well because his next opponents serve great, be it Berrettini or Medvedev. It was warm and it was high intensity but glad that Rafa could play a 5 set match at that high level and win that is a huge confidence boost for him.
Me too. I thought he was going to lose to the other unprofessional-like opponent.
wondering why Rafa got all but one game so far in the hot afternoon, versus others playing in the night .. and then Shapo talks about favoritism to Rafa.
I was always saying that rafa need a coach who fixed his serve because moya doesn't do anything to fix it so rafa need a Coach with good serve like novak did with his coach
@@MohammadIsmail-sq5jy His kind of play changed, his serve definitely got better, tho still improving. He should have done this early in his career, he would have avoided the injuries and would have won more slams. They hired Marc Lopez as part of his team, maybe to assist with this.
He has denied same fate.
tysm australian open for these longer recaps, making lockdown bearable!!
@@digathomas i'm in the south of the world
Que sorte a nossa podermos presenciar em nossa época um jogador tão espetacular como o Rafael Nadal! Que talento soberbo, que beleza que é ver sua superação a cada jogo. Fico feliz demais que ele continue ganhando desses jogadores novinhos que não tem nenhuma classe e espírito desportivo. Parabéns, Rafa! Vida longa 🙏🏼
Rafa is a champion in numerous aspects.. physically, mentally, strategically to name a few and his perseverance is a true mindset of a champion 👑
Physically he's on the decline. Other than that, I agree with you
Thanks to Federer.
It was Federer who heavily dominated men's tennis.
Nadal and Novak had no other option to up there game to compete against Federer.
The only thing Federer lacked, sadly, is the mental game against Nadal. Federer hasn't been the same since.
Nadal is very good at anticipating his opponents next shot which makes his defence soo good.
Luckly for Nadal, Novak isn't at the open. This open had Novak's name all over it.
Nadal FEARS Novak. Period.
Agreed! Rafa is legendary and the ultimate fighter no matter what. Can he pull out two more huge wins? This is getting sooooooo interesting!
@@NNZEO True
🎾♥️🧡💯💫🎯
Rafael Nadal warrior- coming off injury, health issues and not in form at age 35...semifinals, two matches away from breaking GS record...if there were two clay slams, race wouldn't even be close
If there weren’t clay slams he’d have gotten 5 slams.
@@YDVDNVRR If Wonderbread was the official ATP sponsor, Djokovic would have zero slams.
@@YDVDNVRR lmao you gotta brush up on your math, 20-13=7
@@xxxTTandresxxx hahaha U rite. It’s not about math, I have a terrible memory. By no means I’m diminishing Rafa, I like Rafa. But those “as ifs” have no reason. It’s like wondering Roger playing two grass GSs or a carpet slam. They’ve gotten what they could.
@@YDVDNVRR dang lmao I figure you’d remember the it was 13 or whatever, shoot if he was at 15 rg that would be dumb
greatest athlete of all time without question
nooooo never, and ever
I may break my foot and stomach, but I am not breaking the rackets, no?
😅
But I'm cheating
Rafa picked up the intensity again in the final set. That game 3 in the final set was the final key for Rafa winning. Shapo needs to stay composed and build on what he achieved instead of complaining and breaking rackets.
i am huge rafa fan.
but he needed all his expeereience to win this game.
Nadal faking injury again.Shaparov beating himself with countless unforced errors after Nadal made him wait on court. Now easy undeserved walk trough against easiest remaining opponent Berittini.
@@pintoacr3800 I thought Rafa was toast considering Shapo’s comeback and Rafa’s upset stomach (hope nothing more serious). Rafa fought valiantly serving in games 1 & 3 of the final set and saving several break points. That plus breaking Shapo in game 2 did it. Rafa has a full couple of days to fully recover for the semifinals.
@@Ken42908 rafe never lies or cheats like DJOKOVID.
I CAN GIVE 20 EXAMPLES OF DJOKOVID FAKE INJURIES. BUT I WILL GIVE ONLY FEW IMPORTNAT ONES'
1) THE WHOLE AUS OPEN 2021 WAS FAKE INJURY SLAM. STARTING FROM FRITZ GAME.
2) AUS OPEN 2020, THEIM WAS GOING TO WIN AND DJOMOVID AGAIN FAKED IT. THS GUY A CHEATER AND DANGEROUS.
THATS WHY WHOLE australia KICKED HIM OUT,.
Nadal NEEDED that 1st gm tho.
He was double faulting and it was a million dueces. But he held his nerve and frayed Denis when he couldnt break him. He unraveled from there
Two points:
1. Nadal’s class at the end of the match is incredible. Didn’t even raise his hands in celebration until he shook Denis’s hand.
2. Denis played a great match, dug down deep. Kudos to Australian Open AV Team on putting together these awesome highlights so quickly! Tough to watch the games lives in the US, so these highlights do justice😁
@@joedoggie9098 hey bro! Not gonna lie, the umpires don’t consistently enforce the timing violation rules equally across players. Some umpires do use it, and others are more reserved. Nick Kyrgios made a vid a while back showing Rafa taking 40 secs at times to serve.
But some umpires do enforce it, see US Open Nadal vs Medvedev final (5th set). I think umpires are hesitant to enforce it sometimes out of fear of being booed. But I would check out Nadal’s explanation of the new rule regarding toilet breaks in his press conference.
At the end, not trying to argue bro, take care and stay blessed :)
@@joedoggie9098 u were never a fan , don't pretend here . Not sure what your issues are, this is a guy who rarely request medical time outs , very few in his career . Only back on tour and struggled a bit under the heat for a 5 setter. What is wrong in calling medical time when your body is failing and you want some medical attention to enable him compete. RN serving has always been this way , he receives warning and points for it , in this game his time were similar with Shapalov , don't understand were the issues are.
@@stavertongrove3871 The issue is Novak fans who r pissed more than ever that Rafa is edging closer to the final and perhaps can win it. SO they are harping on every single thing to appease their aching hearts! Look, if it helps them sleep better tonight, just let them, lol!!
Rafa is serving great. Don’t overthink 😂he has been doing 2 weeks and a half. Actually his serves are putting him back into matches. Nothing to do of quality of the game. Keep serving like this!
He is taking chances. More double faults but I think he is trusting the process...
@@user-be5qg7mr1s yeap 👌
Both played so well, great show!
I think the shade coming in the 5th set helped Rafa so so much
It helped both player’s our because both player were left handed.
I had the same thought, that Rafa may have started to feel and play a bit better in the 5th set with whatever he took for his stomach and slightly cooler conditions on court as the sun lowered and shade returned. It also made me wonder whether some of his deep return positioning in the third and fourth sets - after hugging the baseline on return had reaped dividends in the first and second sets - may have actually been a tactic to try to remain a bit cooler in the shade, as his main enemy after the first 2 sets was battling heat exhaustion.
Yes yes, shade, ref, the arena , the fans, the weather, the commentator, the irrelevant youtube comments all helped rafa to win because he cant win without them...ffs these keyboard warriors...
Rafa, tu constancia y tesón te hacen un gran tenista y referente... gracias, felicitaciones
Dennis, you're an amazing player; keep pushing!!!
And a very entertaining player to watch. The shotmaking!
I hope Rafa can conjure up some energy and momentum from this match and take it to Berrettini on Friday. And then I hope he can take it to whoever is in the finals. I have been watching him lose at this tournament since 2012 and I don’t want to do it again! This would be perfect for 21!
No way he wins this! Too old I’m afraid
I cannot believe the greatness that Federer, Nadal and Djokovic have brought to the game of 🎾. Nadal you the last one standing bring home the championship🏆. We ❤️ U
Well said charles.
Amen.
I love Nadal plau so much.
The most mentally strongest player there is on tour. For decades
Agreed, the three of them have truly raised the bar. Each one of them is truly incredible! True champions.
@@joedoggie9098 🤣🤣🤣🤣😄 shut up Super haterfake kid
@@joedoggie9098 Joedoggie I just watched 8 male players take it to 5 sets. They battled with everything they had and u disrespect a man that has played at that level for almost 20 years. You are beyond blind. Nadal has sacrificed so much to be one of 3 kings 👑 of tennis. We will never see the likes of them again.
@@joedoggie9098 You're comparing the Canadian to the 13 time French Open champion!? WTF!
I actually think this win is better for rafa than a straight set victory (assuming whatever issues he has will be fixed or at least put under control for the next 2 matches). The issue came up after he was up 2 sets to none, giving him time to find his game amid the new circumstances. This also gives him a huge boost of confidence. Reminds me of Djokovic vs Fritz AO 2021
If he's able to recover fully before the semis (and that's a big IF considering Rafa's history with injuries), that confidence level should be sky high.
If Rafa can stay healthy throug the semi-finals and final I really think he can win this tournament, brilliant return from him!
No way he can beat Medvedev
@@rodriguerra3639 matchups my friend. Nadal has played a better version of Medvedev multiple times. Medvedev has rarely played someone like Nadal
@@kakashihatake1029 nadal isn’t really playing all that well and medvedev has been on fire so we will have to see. Maybe if medvedev has a long semi and nadal can get through in straight sets
@@funnyduck4568 it's about matchups. Nadal matches up really well against people like Medvedev. Only Djokovic has been able to figure out a way to consistently beat Nadal over and over but I highly doubt anyone else can do that. The guys who can beat Nadal normally are big hitters who have weapons to counter his forehand. They also have to have a solid backhand to nullify Nadals cross court forehand
@@kakashihatake1029 Well Medvedev does probably have the 2nd best backhand in the mens game after Novak so that's not exactly Medvedev's weakness.
Who can root against Rafa this year? Wish him an ao title this year
East. He took the authoritarian experimental jab, still got COVID, was very sick, no support for Djoker’s bodily autonomy
@@bryanmartin5901 Experimental jab haha. What do you know about medicine?
@@anthonyjohn592 somehow I have a feeling he knows absolutely nothing about medicine lmao
Existe um abismo emocional e tático entre os 2 jogadores. Nadal mesmo exausto e envelhecido conseguiu ganhar o jogo.
Nadal é um mestre! Shapo mostrando que tem muito potencial, ta evoluindo.
A thriller till the end. Good effort by Shapovalov. He shouldn't be mad at himself, it is Nadal after all. At least he knows he has what it takes.
fffģgg

Really wish that AO TV wouldn't always put the winner as the thumbnail pic. I didn't know who was going to be the winner as they both are obviously excellent players, but as soon as I saw the thumbnail it was clear who the winner was going to be. Please if you can stop putting the winners on the thumbnail so we can still be surprised by the outcome, that would be great. Thanks for content!
"I need an answer... you don't percolate tea do ya?" 😂😂the out of context bits of commentary on these highlights are gold 👌🏻
Thanks for not putting the winner on the thumb! 👍
Whoever is responsible for the highlights this year, took it to a whole another level.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Rafa won, so what thumb are you looking at ? Lmao
@@YesSir-hk9ys You are late! As soon as the highlights came out the thumb was both Rafa and Shapo.
@@jcsrio15 idk why they always put the winner
Yes, I agree. Rafa often pulls off a miracle. 🙏🎾💪🏾
I love you Nadal from the bottom of my heart. I pray you go on to win the championship.
Pure fighter, Vamos Rafa🔥👌💪🏼👏🏼
Great to see shapovalov challenging the best. As for nadal, the legend continues. when you beat the generation before you, your own and the next gen, it shows true greatness
What were those 5th set highlights
Wanted Shapovalov to win he played so well and is a likable guy, I can’t blame him for smashing racquet he worked as hard as he could and wasn’t able to win and that can be difficult. He definitely has a right to feel how he does, but I hope he takes the positives out of this loss as well.
Outbursts like smashing his racket is not uncommon for him. There is even a video of him smashing the ball onto an umpire's eye. He really needs to control his emotions.
He should learn from Nadal. Nadal has never once smashed his racket, despite losing so many gram slam finals.
I really like how rafa handles other players and also his styles in playing❤️
I get a feeling Rafa might not making through (or even TO) the next round. Something was physically off with him starting from the 3rd set. He was fortunate enough to pull this one off.
Shapovolov’s intensity is different.
It was the intensity alone which killed Zverev in the previous match, because today, his shots were more precise as were his first and second serves. He hits every shot and serve with tremendous power and didn’t seem to lose any of it by the fifth set. His work rate is also phenomenal. He actually played BETTER against Nadal than he did Zverev. Honestly reminded me of a young Rafa with how he chased and responded to those heavy topspin forehands with high spin shots of his own.
As for Nadal, WOW. Way to respond after the abdominal pain. Nadal’s maturity won the match as I felt Shapovolov’s intensity was at a higher level than Nadal’s by the end of the fifth set. The set’s third game was an absolute war and put Nadal in a strong position to see out the match.
Hope Rafa wins it all and cements his status as the GOAT.
With a little polish, though, Shapovolov can become the next Nadal.
Nadal faking injury again.Shaparov beating himself with countless unforced errors after Nadal made him wait on court. Now easy undeserved walk trough against easiest remaining opponent Berittini.
It all depends on how the Spaniard recovers and the question will be,"Will he physically have enough in the tank to get through Medvedev?"
I call him blond Nadal cuz he kinda resembles rafa and is lefty. But his attitude stinks! Rafa is humble and works hard and gives praise and respect to opponents!
@@jacobschmidt2709 thats if Med get there. Everyone pencils him in but lets wait
@@leonardobraynen1524 Exactly!!! Like they penciled Zverev!!! Honestly, ppl just never learn!!!
Vamos Rafa por el 21 🔥🔥🔥
very tight match, left vs left lasting 5 sets, shapo played well & getting tougher esp. in 3rd & 4th set but nadal winning the 5th since he is confident, patient & more experience
Vamos Rafa! Rafa in beast mode. Congrats for the win! Well played Denis!
The full shade in the fifth set helped both players. Rafa looked more energetic and hunting for breakpoints!
His face got so much sun, I'm sure that shade was a relief.
@@Cali_909 sure did, I hope he uses SPF 70 coppertone
Take it as a sign of things to come. The new generation is here, gaining experience and is hungry.
"That is a miracle!"
rafas out wide serve on the deuce side really impresses me.
For those who didn't see the whole match, Shapovalov threw a nasty temper tantrum in the first set accusing Rafa of takng too much time. Regardless of whether it was true, he called the umpire corrupt. Made me lose a lot of respect for Shapo as I thought he was a better sportsman than that. His play was sloppy in the first two sets. He cleaned it up in the 3rd and 4th and then crashed miserably in the 5th.
Dennis has a big time game. Hope he has the grace and class of Fed and Rafa as he ascends
Amazing
Good to see the fight from Shapo, he is getting close!
Vamos Rafa!
Vamos? cuando a dejado de ir?,la mejor cabeza y temperamento de la historia!!!!
I bet that felt a lot closer than Nadal expected.
Yup, Nadal entered the game believing he owned Shapo. He left the game knowing he got a little lucky. Oh, and knowing that a clothing change and MT are useful tools in any aging player's bag of tricks.
Shapovalov, my dude destroyed forever after Djokovic and Rafa both beat him in heart breaking matches at WB and AO in a span of 8 months.
Congrat, Rafa!!👏👏👏👏👏
If Shapavalov spent half his energy paying attention to the game instead of getting pissed at insignificant things, probably he would make a difference. Rafa was so off his best yet these so called "Next Gen" are failing to stop him. He looked exhausted in the fifth. Yet here we are.
And that is what a true champion is! somebody that wins when you're not even playing your best! he knows it and we know it! as he said it many times these matches that he should have lost and he didn't or he can't believe that he won because of other factors r what mean the most to him!
Shapovalov's needs to work on his mental game and point selection and he can be a champion soon
Dennis played great
Glad shapo lost, such unsportsmanlike behavior, good job to Rafa for pulling it through and not giving up!
What are you even talking about lol
Denis’s backhand is glorious …
Just my observation: This is in a different level than the one between Nadal and Verdasco in 2009 SF. One, Rafa and Shapo are not close friends. Therefore, this match is played on a more professional level. Second, Rafa was almost the same age as Shapo when he played against Vedasco, who was 25. Third, the overall look of Rod Laver Arena improves a lot.
VAMOS RAFAAA !!!
Nadal truly is a fighter until the very end! This match proves once again why he’s one of the greats.
Shame that official channels cant do a proper higlights video, many independent artists were shut down, but no1 came to replace them.They were making 20+min hq hilights just hours after the match
Shapo keep your head high man. You played a great match and almost came back to win. Canada represent!!!
Hard to see a great champion and fighter loosing the fight against age. I mean everyone does sooner or later but just hard to see him struggle like that.
Not so much because of Age. It seemed he was feeling Nausea. And the heat was bothering him too. Won't be hot on Friday:27°C.
He still won man.
Only 2matches left instead of 7.
Lets root for 21
haha AGE??? do you follow news? 35 is like a prime years now. Monfils plays best tennis and his 35. Nadal is still the best among others. Wut you talking about
Wtf man, 35 is prime? Have you started watching tennis last year or what? This is not even close to Nadal’s prime technically and MAINLY physically. If he were in his prime, this would be a clean 3-0
@@paulovictorvieira5716 haha yes watched exactly and saw 34 years old Djokovic almost had the golden slam and made history, good morning bruh :D:D
"I need an answer. You don't percolate tea, do you?"
Shapalov the token “fist pump after ever point” guy lol
Maybe he learned from Serena?!
Extremely disappointed with the immaturity of Shapoop throughout the match. Grateful to him for eliminating Abuserev, but this shows he’s not ready.
And Rafa wasn’t even at 100! And still held his nerve and won like a true champion.
lmfao what do you mean bro, nadal got hella lucky net breaks at a crucial stage
@@rusty935 If Rafa hadn’t injured himself before the third. This match would have been a lot shorter. Shapovalov just took advantage of the injury. He was hitting better in the first set anyway.
@@ryoshusuke2108 The injury became apparent midway through the fourth. If it was bothering Nadal earlier he didn't show it... and even after that when it was obvious he was still serving really well and making big shots. I don't think you can blame the comeback on the injury, Denis just started playing a lot better and it was quite even from mid-set-2 on.
@@ryoshusuke2108 He didn't have an injury. Maybe nausea.
@@ryoshusuke2108 pretty sure he had an upset tummy
I could easily have enjoyed 15 minute highlights of this match.
Shapavolov...hope that the mighty one handed backhand comes back.
That was an amazing match. Looked like Rafa was running away with it then all of a sudden it looked like he had no chance. Idk how he pulled that fifth set out put what a performance by Rafa
Pain. His injury definitely was hitting him. Or something.
There's not the best chance he can ward it off to finish this competition.
And even less chance he can heal and avoid it for years...very sad.
I didn’t like that umpire at all before this match but now I think he’s pretty good
21 slams soon for Rafa and no more discussion about who is the goat among them. Vamos Rafa!
Don’t fool yourself , all this AO just pissed Joker even more and now he will go for at least 5 more GS’ms before he retire….Mark my words.
BEAST!
Love watching Rafa play.
Vamos Rafa!!❤❤❤❤
some day shapo will have won a grand slam
Really thought Shapo had this match in the bag, given that he had all the momentum and Nadal was struggling physically. Then one loose service game from Shapo in the 5th, and that spelled out the end for him. Tremendous fight back from Rafa.
Great Game
Shapo really blew it. Nadal looked hurt after the 3rd set. But was mentally stronger.
He wasn’t hurt he’s sick, I think nadal said stomach bug
Where is peng Shuai?
El rival mas duro para Rafa hasta hoy.
Muy bueno.
What a great match and love the longer highlights
Here is a simple guideline for showing highlights - Show the break points, Show the set points. BOTH of it. ALL the time.
Wow Great game guys! Congrats Nadal!
Why the heck do you insist on spoiling the ending with the thumbnail!!!!!!
Brilliant match , well deserved win for Nadal
Se encamina a su 21 Gran Slam el Rafa
Nearly the same disaster for Nadal as in 2021. Takes first two sets rather easily only to find himself needing to go the full distance. This time he overcame his quarterfinals curse.
Grateful for the highlights, but I wish we could view the crucial breakpoints and game points. No need to edit out the good stuff.
Exactly! How did Nadal get to 2-0 in the fifth; the most important moment?! Nadal himself said afterward he got “lucky” in the beginning of the fifth set-so what happened? We will never know bc AO refuses to show the most important game of the match
Couldn't agree more... They have included slo-mo poses, reactions after the points but not the crucial points that changed the courses of sets.
Rafa laughed at him 😂7:52

I enjoyed that very much.

@@KoRnBaL19 naw...
Can't have your Rafa and see it too
Shapo showed no class this match. Glad Rafa pulled it out
You think complaining a ref does not enforce the rules is not ok?
@@maison33253 ref clearly explained he has a clock to which Rafa has to abide to. Said he had told him and he was following the clock from then on. Rafa was clearly dominant until the stomach issues started. Again, kid has no class
Nadal's not gonna take it
Oh no, he ain't gonna take it
He's not gonna take it anymore
He's got the right to choose it
There ain't no way he'll lose it
This is his life, this is his song 🎵
This was tricky match for Rafa,he lost in last two quarter final,so this win prove monumental.
