Medvedev - "I was looking at the screen and they were showing number 1, number 2 ..number 19 and I was thinking, had I won, what would they show". I like this guy.
Jon Piper the people that hate on him are probably just Federer fans or djokovic fans (not hating on none of them) or just because he’s spanish lol. A lot of people don’t like spanish people which is stupid in my opinion lol
Rodrigo Barreiro at this point I don’t see Federer fans hating him. You can see it on his AO17 runner up speech. It’s all from latter ones while Federer has always received hate from both Nadal and Novak fans.
Same here!!! Been watching him since I was a teenager with my mom. Now that I'm in my 30's and she is no longer with us, there's something about watching Nadal these years, it's like looking through a weird mirror where I also get to see my life and how it's moved in adjacent to his... I love it, I wish he could play forever. I know my mom would've even be proud of what he's accomplished.
The most important thing about Rafa Nadal is not the way he plays, the technique he uses or how he hits the ball, the most important thing about Rafa is his spirit! Because it's something that is much bigger than tennis, it's a message for the people who're struggling and an attitude towards life! He is an icon of resistance, a true warrior without sword but with racquet that inspires a lot of people in their normal lifes, and that's what matters over the sport and the player, the icon he is, and that goes beyond any borders. He is an international icon of effort and fight. Proud to have seen you through these years long, and proud to live in your era. Congratulations to Medvedev too, he made an amazing match, great fight and great tennis for him.
Federer is class, elegance but ... if you don't sweat! Djokovic is the cold head, a killer but Mr. Nadal in the shade, is the delivery, the sacrifice, not a protest, the respect for the rival, the fight against the disease, and in the end when they retire, Rafa will be THE BEST.
When Rafa cries, I cry, when Rafa is happy, I am too. When Rafa wins his 19th GS title like this, I feel proud to be Spanish and to have met him in person! LEYENDA RAFAEL NADAL.
and so funny when he said he was already preparing the speech in the 3rd set when he was losing, and also when he said he was looking at the screen and they were showing number 1, number 2 ..number 19 and thinking had he won, what they would show
He’s a great player. But a rude player on the court. He’s been disrespectful to the ball boys, crowds, and umpires in previous matches so I’ve lost respect for him sadly...
I really loved how calm Medvedev stayed during the match. 23 years old. Playing against such a beast like Rafa in his first Grand Slam final. And still somehow he kept that poker face throughout the whole match and even made Rafa nervous as hell. This guy has some character and I think he will have a bright future
@@checoPH I hope so. People put that label on a guy and put so much pressure and expectations on him. I hope he continues to grow in his game. He was brilliant today despite the loss
True that.. AO Final (when still not fully fit after returning from long injury (from late last year to early this year)), US Open champion, Wimbledon semis.. enough said.. He's good on all surfaces (except indoors maybe) but is godlike on clay.. that's why he SEEMS to be good only on clay
@@purchasingdistrict1086 I don't think he is bad in indoor though. If it wasn't for Djokovic and Federer he would have a few world tour finals. Just like if it wasn't for Nadal, Djokovic and Federer would have more French opens.
Rafa is an icon. What a champion, after all these years still overcome with passion for the sport, still giving us the most astonishing tennis. It's been an absolute privilege to watch him these last 15 years. He is a titan.
@Captain Plaintif i am starting to feel that way now. I must say you have a point, first the wimby final, and now this..they are feeding on our emotional energy. There is a good chance that this was fixed.
@@garygill9322 Tennis is rigged like wresting. They already know that the Rock will beat Hulk Hogan. They smashed chairs on each other and blood spilling out. After the match, they went out for coffee.
Honestly the moment when the crowd starts chanting RAFA it gives me goosebumps incredible atmosphere I don’t think any other slam is like this or one that I’ve watched recently where the atmosphere from the crowd is this good and Rafa deserves one of the 🐐s in Tennis and he is the best fighter, competitor any word similar. He is just remarkable and he is within 1 of Federer and who would’ve thought at this age they would be this close to one another next year is going to be very interesting.
Congratulations to Rafa! From a Federer fan, I have come to love and appreciate Rafa over the years for his humility, hard work, and passion for the game. I have no qualms if he passes Roger in GS titles. I could not think of anyone more deserving. He and Roger will forever be in my heart as one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports for all time. Two amazing players, completely different in style, who have such tremendous respect and appreciation for each other and who pushed each other to greater and greater heights. That's what sports are all about. Even from a Fed fan, I have to say, congrats and vamos, Rafa! You deserve it!
I love how Medvedev is so real. You can tell he is not putting on any airs or falseness. I look forward to seeing what he will accomplish. And i love how Rafa is so humble and grateful and able to show his emotions. Uncle Tony taught him well. Two amazing men.
Man i watched this and it was freakin intense match. I never thought Medvedev would be any problem for nadal, but in this match he showed what he is capable of. And the speech shows what he's really made of. He's a champ in future. Corona here corona there.
@@Ali23125 i feel so badly for Novak. It was not the match i expected. I think Novak was tired from many extremely difficult matches and the mental pressure was so much. And Medvedev played amazingly.

Bravo to US Open to posting the whole ceremony so we can see the players' interviews back to back. I'll never forget Daniil's testy relationship with the NYC crowd over that fortnight, and how quickly it was reconciled with an abashed humbleness. The timeless Nadalian humility, after a dominant tournament. Both players deserve to be watched until the end of their respective careers.
Fantastic match and sensational sense of humour from Medvedev - he is a true sportsman and an icon to watch in the future of tennis - he truly possesses tremendous energy and ball control around the court. Having said that well done once again to RAFA, truly ecstatic
To play as he did in his first grandslam final on the biggest stage in world tennis, much respect. All things constant, I fail too see how he won't be a multiple grandslam winner. It takes a whole lot of character to come back from 2 sets down against a fighting-for-every-point Rafa, taking into account that he has played so much tennis leading up to this tournament , and in this tournament as well. This kid has a bright future ahead of him.
@Captain Plaintif Will you give it a rest already?! Go ruin another person's sport! What the hell are you trying to achieve? We love tennis. What do you want to do, talk us out of it?
Absolutely. No doubt in my mind that if he maintains the same desire that he did in this match, he will win grandslams in future. He's only 23yrs old. He's at his prime with plenty of time to improve even further. Only Djokovic - who he has beaten twice this season, has the ability to push Rafa like that.
I have never regretted being Rafa's fan. Have been supporting him from RG 2006 when I was at high school. So proud of him, the greatest we've ever seen.
I am fortunate to be Spanish, as we always have that extra emotion when someone from our country wins. The times this guy has given to us Spaniards this good feeling when you think "Rafa will play tonight", and also the life lessons he gives through a tennis match, like this one. GRACIAS, RAFA.
What a proud to be a Spanish, Rafa is not only a legend he's a humble person. The one and only Rafael Nadal! Great video! Daniil Medvedev and Rafa were epic in this match
As a lifelong Rafa fan, I couldn't help but find myself rooting for Medvedev at some points during the match. It was amazing how strong his mental game was...reminded me of 2011 Djokovic. And it was impressive how he never panicked, got frustrated, or let the crowd get to him throughout the full 5 hours. He should be very proud! With that said --- congrats to Rafa!
I remember coming back home from work early morning in India it was around 4:30am and I was rooting for Rafa so hard Was so happy for his win. his win is my win❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely happy with Rafa's win and proud to be his fan. Got to respect Medvedev' a humble and down-to-earth man, like Rafa. Both are genuine sportsmen, great persons!
Everybody thinks Nadal will have to wait until the French Open to match Federer, but I think he will match his record at the Australian Open, and then officially become GOAT when he wins the Roland Garros. VAMOS RAFA!!!!!!!!!!!
Rafa the king! I couldn't be happier to be his fan forever!!! Such a humble and kind man! What an extraordinary player! Just simply supreme! Congratulations GOAT!!! 👏👏👏👏❤❤👑👑
Always see that 19 year old boy when i see Rafa winning... even today... he has put so much effort to get to where we see him today... it is so tough to see him age...
AGAIN....congratulations nadal ... another 2 grandslams and you are the greatest of all times you deserve it....... after all your injuries ... you are also the true nr.1 in this year 2019
Rafa is a beast. What a fantabulous and humble player he has always been. A true champion on and off the field. May he win a lot more grand slams in the years to come. Respect.
RAFA ONE OF GREATEST TENNIS, amazing Man, With Ferocious Heavy Top Spin Forehand ,Two Handed Backhand consistecy and Incredible mental Toughness..... So respect to Mr Rafa Nadal
He's just reliving his greatest achievements on screen, his whole career before his eyes. Applause in the background is just white noise. He has truly dedicated himself to the sport and is one of the greatest ever. Congratulations, Rafa!!.
I feel probably 10x prouder than what he feels right now because I watched tennis growing up only because of him. When i stopped playing, he was the only reason that i kept going back to the sport that I once loved so much. Love you Rafa
This 19 was so huge for Rafa. in a way I feel his tears were because he probably never thought he'd make it this far, especially with all the injuries. It must be a truly overwhelming feeling to have experienced so much setback and yet, still, find yourself a slam away from 20. A dream being lived. Vamos Rafa!
I think Daniil will be bigger than thiem, zverev and tsitsipas... He is class is unique. This guy actually cares for the next point than what comes in future. I ll look out for him
They all very talented, but tennis is a solo sport, mentally you have to be on top every single time or you go down. Medvedev certainly has shown his spirit this year, especially the last few weeks of course, but Thiem definitely shown it at the French open. He just seem more comfortable at clay. Tsitsipas is a bit younger, maybe it will come, he is already top 10 but hasn't shown this strength at the majors. Zverev actually did the opposite, he disappears at the big stages. Based on the last few weeks it's easy to point out Medvedev, I think so too he just seem more mature mentally than the others.
I share the same thought, Daniil right now looks like the toughest competitors for anyone including top 3. His mental strength, it is almost like he doesn’t have any emotion or fear on court, his second serve consistently shows that. Match point or break point, he plays the same...very unusual. I thought Stefanos was tough, but no, this guy will beat him mentally. they are similar age now, Thiem a little older. Daniil and Stefanos will be the next rivalry for 1 and 2. I love Thiem and hope he can come in between and steal the thunder. But it does look tough for him.
I think it's unfair to bundle Thiem with Zverev and Tsitsipas, if Nadal wasn't playing Thiem could have easily had at least two French Open titles, he is pretty strong mentally and he showed that several times on the grand slam matches, but against Nadal on clay on a French Open final there just isn't much you can do.
I am gonna burst your bubble.. Medvedev is nice. But has had his inappropriate moments.. Flipping the audience.. Bad behavior with rye staff. Look it up.
Me as well. I'm a Rafa fan but Meddy won my permanent respect for how he played this USO final and his closing remarks. Takes guts and class to do that.
@@abhishiktachakraborty451 People change. He hired someone to make his attitude correct and now he is a humble person. Maybe you should look this up :)
Medvedev is special outside his tennis skills. Sense of humor, humility, and lots of character mentally throughout the match. Leader of the next gen for sure.
i am a federer fan and i am so happy for rafa.He is definitely the biggest fighter in tennis, i hope he can play for many more years and without injuries.
Pierre Maldonado, if you are really a true Federer-fan, than I have applaud your generous attitude. Each member of the Big Three is unique in his own inimitable way. As a Rafafan I would be more than happy if the GOAT race ends with a three-way tie. This would be poetic justice because all of them fully deserve the GOAT title.
5:59 Rafa raises his brows when the guy says that the "fans were great" & Medvedev's face expression is just 🔥. Keep "looking up to Rafa" sir you will never comprehend what actual greatness is
Medvedev will be the future of this sport if he has the right people around him. Awesome player. Congratulations to my fellow Spaniard Rafael Nadal as well. What an unbelievable fighter and winner.
I cried, screamed, cheered, prayed (?), I did everything in the last 3 games of the 4th set and during the whole 5th set. When the match ended, I couldn't even talk lol, I was so emotionally exhausted, and my body was extremely exhausted as well, the nerve got its toll on my body. I am so proud, and so happy for Rafa, happy beyond words. I've been a fan for the last 15 years, followed tennis because my dad likes tennis and is a fan of Roger's, that brought me to be a hardcore fan as well. That match was, idk, I'm running out of adjectives, but one thing for sure, it's emotionally draining. I'm quite proud of myself that I never once did hoping for Daniil to make double fault or bad unforced errors, even though in the last set I was a bit like, whatever, just whatever as long as Rafa win lol, but I couldn't help but love how the crowd cheered for him as well, that he acknowledged his mistakes and people acknowledged that he's genuine. And Rafa, ahhh, what a lovely human being. Sorry I made an essay in a yt comment section, I'm not even sure the sentences make sense or not haha, I was and still am so emotional.
2:25 to 2:33, goosebumps moment !!!! The best goosebumps moment will be when the french open announcer announces champion roland garros champion 2005, 2006, 2007 ....the list is too big to type, how Rafa was able to win 13 times !!! Amazing !!!!!
Rafa is a fighter who never gives up, together with his impressive technique and physical conditions makes him an exceptional and unique player. The best without a doubt. Congratulations! PS.: A humble, polite and empathetic person with everyone.
This ceremony was so full of emotional moments. I can't believe that amidst his joy, in a GS win ceremony, Rafael took the time to send condolences to Karim Alami. What a man.
I am sobbing like a baby all over again. The pain, the emotion, all the struggle all these years written all over his face and in his eyes. A true warrior and champion, Rafael Nadal.
A TRUE tennis fan will love and appreciate BOTH Rafa and Federer. I certainly do. Both are beyond extraordinary. Who do I root for when they play each other? Not sayin😁.
Absolutely incredible that Rafa has FOUR US Open titles now. To think that many didn't even believe he would ever win one when he was already a household name after that epic 2008 Wimbledon final against RF, shows the tenacity and fire this man has to continue to improve at the very highest level of his sport. Mad respect, and I can honestly say that if anyone deserves to overtake RF in Slams, this guy does (and most likely will)!
Medvedev - "I was looking at the screen and they were showing number 1, number 2 ..number 19 and I was thinking, had I won, what would they show". I like this guy.
They'd probably show his MFS from the Feli Lopez match. But, nevertheless, a promising young player this Med kid is. Cheers.
@Oliver McCall Most probably
They would show a clip of him trashing that towel boy.
me too!! and I didn't like him during the match..now i feel bad he didn't win

Absolutely. No doubt in my mind that if he maintains the same desire that he did in this match, he will win grandslams in future. He's only 23yrs old. He's at his prime with plenty of time to improve even further. Only Djokovic - who he has beaten twice this season, has the ability to push Rafa like that.
I met Rafael Nadal 5 years ago and is very humble and kind I think he’s the best tênis player congratulations my friend..
Wow lucky you!
Thx my friend please subscribe to my channel please
One thing I never doubt that being a Rafa's fan. He's amazing
@Movies&&Highlights!!! thanks 🙂
@Movies&&Highlights!!! You are cute too :)
I have never regretted being Rafa's fan. Have been supporting him from RG 2006 when I was at high school. So proud of him, the greatest we've ever seen.
This is even longer than the highlights😂😂
that highlight was wack. should have been like 20 minutes at least. bastards
Next World No.1 on fucking god😩😪
Hahahaha so true
brokenupsound of french Open Highlights
Philipp Ghadiri At least the French gave us 10 minute finals highlights. US Open gave like 3 min for the final too
Medvedev 😭you're awesome....
Rafa you're incredible ❤️....
Rafa will always be number 1 for me... a champion with a big heart.... a very respectable sportsman.
Spanish heat vs Russian ice ... this time ice has melted. Well done Rafa, Daniil your time is coming soon.
waqas ahmed and the “Serbian air” was breadstick-bagelled in their last meeting
Jack Of Blades and you choked spelling ‘Thiem’ .
@waqas ahmed and the serbian air was demolished by Spanish heat last week
@@Pei_Bo I'm spanish but Novak is a machine lol. Not all the times, sadly, Nadal wins. Novak is tough. We hope to overcome it!
@@pa_u_los lo se amigo, Novak es una puta bestia jajaja
Daniil is damn so humble! No pain, whatsoever! Just learning the art everytime :) Again, Rafa, no words for you! An amazing match
@Barthelemy Lazerlips He's quite down to earth, if that's what I mean.
@Captain Plaintif 😂😂😂 scared? Nadal will overtake Federer soon. 😂😂😂
@@lc1777 that's coming soon!
Medvedev!!!! What a humble and talented tennis player! Also very smart! He is a caracter! Congrats on both!
I am fortunate to be Spanish, as we always have that extra emotion when someone from our country wins. The times this guy has given to us Spaniards this good feeling when you think "Rafa will play tonight", and also the life lessons he gives through a tennis match, like this one. GRACIAS, RAFA.
What a proud to be a Spanish, Rafa is not only a legend he's a humble person. The one and only Rafael Nadal!
Great video! Daniil Medvedev and Rafa were epic in this match
Not all great champs will make you into tears for their winning.. and Rafa always does that! Genuine greats!
As a lifelong Rafa fan, I couldn't help but find myself rooting for Medvedev at some points during the match. It was amazing how strong his mental game was...reminded me of 2011 Djokovic. And it was impressive how he never panicked, got frustrated, or let the crowd get to him throughout the full 5 hours. He should be very proud! With that said --- congrats to Rafa!
@Captain Plaintif outcome changed? And you believe that really
@Captain Plaintif dude stop being an idiot.
I remember coming back home from work early morning in India it was around 4:30am and I was rooting for Rafa so hard Was so happy for his win. his win is my win❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely happy with Rafa's win and proud to be his fan. Got to respect Medvedev' a humble and down-to-earth man, like Rafa. Both are genuine sportsmen, great persons!
Everybody thinks Nadal will have to wait until the French Open to match Federer, but I think he will match his record at the Australian Open, and then officially become GOAT when he wins the Roland Garros.
VAMOS RAFA!!!!!!!!!!!
Yessssss
A man with humble spirit and great personality. Hard not to love Rafa! Vamos!!
Rafa the king! I couldn't be happier to be his fan forever!!! Such a humble and kind man! What an extraordinary player! Just simply supreme! Congratulations GOAT!!! 👏👏👏👏❤❤👑👑
why do i feel so emotional everytime you won. congratulations RAFA
Always see that 19 year old boy when i see Rafa winning... even today... he has put so much effort to get to where we see him today... it is so tough to see him age...
Being a Rafa fan has given me more pleasure than any other athlete other than MJ. And both are GOATs.
This year will be again in US open! Vamoss Rafa!🇪🇦🇪🇦
First time I saw Nadal bring tears, Vamos Rafa 👏👏👏👏👏
Oh goodness! Such an emotional moment! So so proud and happy for you, Rafa❤️
Do you have a little lamb Mary?
Jim B you made me laugh hahaha
@Captain Plaintif yep. And you are playing the role of a clown in this circus!
Ditto!
Zilueta hahaha nah, I’m for Rafa all the way!
AGAIN....congratulations nadal ... another 2 grandslams and you are the greatest of all times you deserve it....... after all your injuries ... you are also the true nr.1 in this year 2019
He is the goat r u kidding
@@manojchaulagain6116 r u mad I know rafa is goat without a doubt
Ha ha 19 grand slam winner but still doesn't know the 25 second rule.. Shame.. Enforce 25 second rule every point and rafa would be with 0 titles😂😂...
2 more RGTrophy?
One Grand slam is enough..
He has 24-16 head2head against Federer and that counts to me as a slam
Rafa is a beast. What a fantabulous and humble player he has always been. A true champion on and off the field. May he win a lot more grand slams in the years to come. Respect.
18 Roland Garros, 7 US Open, 6 Wimbledon, 4 Australia Open, ...Before ritied... Vamos Rafa...
🇪🇸🏆💪🏻🔥♥
That’s waaay to ambitious 😅
Hahahahaha lol
RAFA ONE OF GREATEST TENNIS, amazing Man, With Ferocious Heavy Top Spin Forehand ,Two Handed Backhand consistecy and Incredible mental Toughness.....
So respect to Mr Rafa Nadal
He's just reliving his greatest achievements on screen, his whole career before his eyes. Applause in the background is just white noise. He has truly dedicated himself to the sport and is one of the greatest ever. Congratulations, Rafa!!.
I feel probably 10x prouder than what he feels right now because I watched tennis growing up only because of him. When i stopped playing, he was the only reason that i kept going back to the sport that I once loved so much. Love you Rafa
Congratulations, Rafa, on this incredible achievement! You make me proud. Vamos!
Legend Rafa and the nextgen Medvedev ... Huge respect both of you... What humbleness n sportsman spirit... Way to go champs
Medvedev is the future.
@@confidenciaspatriotas hope he carries the humbleness n greatness of nadal-federer
Daniel is such class player ,it is not about winning a trophy but winning people hearts ❤️
Medvedev's speech was so humble and funny, now he's the champ, so deserved.
This 19 was so huge for Rafa. in a way I feel his tears were because he probably never thought he'd make it this far, especially with all the injuries. It must be a truly overwhelming feeling to have experienced so much setback and yet, still, find yourself a slam away from 20. A dream being lived. Vamos Rafa!
Won 1st GS at age 19 ! And won 19 GS in 2019 !
and now he has 22 GS
It's all about 19... Rafa's 19th title, Bianca is 19.. congrats to the USO winners of 2019
I cried with Medvedev. And the cheer for him today made me so emotional!!
This is how you earn the lost respect. He gave his heart out to the court.
Truly amazing, Rafa Nadal is true sportsman and incredible champion!
I think Daniil will be bigger than thiem, zverev and tsitsipas... He is class is unique. This guy actually cares for the next point than what comes in future. I ll look out for him
They all very talented, but tennis is a solo sport, mentally you have to be on top every single time or you go down. Medvedev certainly has shown his spirit this year, especially the last few weeks of course, but Thiem definitely shown it at the French open. He just seem more comfortable at clay. Tsitsipas is a bit younger, maybe it will come, he is already top 10 but hasn't shown this strength at the majors. Zverev actually did the opposite, he disappears at the big stages. Based on the last few weeks it's easy to point out Medvedev, I think so too he just seem more mature mentally than the others.
Sami Tangu yup I love the guy after Rafa
I share the same thought, Daniil right now looks like the toughest competitors for anyone including top 3. His mental strength, it is almost like he doesn’t have any emotion or fear on court, his second serve consistently shows that. Match point or break point, he plays the same...very unusual. I thought Stefanos was tough, but no, this guy will beat him mentally. they are similar age now, Thiem a little older. Daniil and Stefanos will be the next rivalry for 1 and 2. I love Thiem and hope he can come in between and steal the thunder. But it does look tough for him.
@@bifftannen66 and still zverev got the biggest title of all of them. But yeah just too weak at grand slams
I think it's unfair to bundle Thiem with Zverev and Tsitsipas, if Nadal wasn't playing Thiem could have easily had at least two French Open titles, he is pretty strong mentally and he showed that several times on the grand slam matches, but against Nadal on clay on a French Open final there just isn't much you can do.
This video alone shows a moment in time worth a whole lifetime :) Very well deserved Rafa. Keep going...
Nadal is the goat for me but I fell in love with Medvedev's humbleness! What a great man and tennis player
I'm Rafa fan. But I really love him too. He going to be a great pennis playing in the future
I am gonna burst your bubble.. Medvedev is nice. But has had his inappropriate moments.. Flipping the audience.. Bad behavior with rye staff. Look it up.
Abhishikta Chakraborty He apologized to the crowd
Me as well. I'm a Rafa fan but Meddy won my permanent respect for how he played this USO final and his closing remarks. Takes guts and class to do that.
@@abhishiktachakraborty451 People change. He hired someone to make his attitude correct and now he is a humble person. Maybe you should look this up :)
I cried for him. Greatest fighter of tennis 🔥👏
Never seen him breakdown that bad before. Great match. Congrats to the greatest player of all time, Rafael Nadal
Hands down the most moving closing ceremony I've ever seen. What an amazing athlete Rafa is. Unique in all the world.
What a champion!!!
Rafael Nadal.
Well done Danil.
Thank you.
Extraordinary gentlemen.
Yes D. Medvedev is back,2021 US Open Champion
Medvedev is special outside his tennis skills. Sense of humor, humility, and lots of character mentally throughout the match. Leader of the next gen for sure.
Something to look forward to.
i am a federer fan and i am so happy for rafa.He is definitely the biggest fighter in tennis, i hope he can play for many more years and without injuries.
Pierre Maldonado, if you are really a true Federer-fan, than I have applaud your generous attitude.
Each member of the Big Three is unique in his own inimitable way. As a Rafafan I would be more than happy if the GOAT race ends with a three-way tie. This would be poetic justice because all of them fully deserve the GOAT title.
2:10 min. Great moment in tennis history. All stadium Rafa! Rafa! and cameraman around.
5:59 Rafa raises his brows when the guy says that the "fans were great" & Medvedev's face expression is just 🔥. Keep "looking up to Rafa" sir you will never comprehend what actual greatness is
Medvedev will be the future of this sport if he has the right people around him. Awesome player. Congratulations to my fellow Spaniard Rafael Nadal as well. What an unbelievable fighter and winner.
@/S_/H_/U_/K_/R_/A_/Y_/E / In what?Post match interviews?
@/S_/H_/U_/K_/R_/A_/Y_/E / Unfortunately Kyrgyos lacks the necessary humility, mental strength and love for the sport. He is a wasted talent.
Fer Blues seems to have a great attitude, very humble . I love this type of people to win , I can't stand arrogance.
@/S_/H_/U_/K_/R_/A_/Y_/E / Kyrgios chutzpah < Bernard Tomic 😁😂
Hope Med would be standing in the way of Djoker at the Aussie open.
Your 2019 US Open Men's singles champion - RAFAEL NADAL!!!
Great job Medvedev ! Thank you for giving us one of the most exciting matches in US open history.
The greatest human being in a great moment! and that's what is really his must important legacy HIS INTEGRITY AND HONESTY
I cried, screamed, cheered, prayed (?), I did everything in the last 3 games of the 4th set and during the whole 5th set. When the match ended, I couldn't even talk lol, I was so emotionally exhausted, and my body was extremely exhausted as well, the nerve got its toll on my body. I am so proud, and so happy for Rafa, happy beyond words. I've been a fan for the last 15 years, followed tennis because my dad likes tennis and is a fan of Roger's, that brought me to be a hardcore fan as well. That match was, idk, I'm running out of adjectives, but one thing for sure, it's emotionally draining. I'm quite proud of myself that I never once did hoping for Daniil to make double fault or bad unforced errors, even though in the last set I was a bit like, whatever, just whatever as long as Rafa win lol, but I couldn't help but love how the crowd cheered for him as well, that he acknowledged his mistakes and people acknowledged that he's genuine. And Rafa, ahhh, what a lovely human being. Sorry I made an essay in a yt comment section, I'm not even sure the sentences make sense or not haha, I was and still am so emotional.
I read the easy cz that's how I felt throughout the whole game, I may not be 15 years but I've see enough to be inspired by Rafa...
@@bonganiarthur8008 yup, he's indeed an inspiration. And it's good to directly hear I'm not the only one completely freaking out during the match haha
Rafa The Greatest sportsman of all time!!!
2:25 to 2:33, goosebumps moment !!!! The best goosebumps moment will be when the french open announcer announces champion roland garros champion 2005, 2006, 2007 ....the list is too big to type, how Rafa was able to win 13 times !!! Amazing !!!!!
God gift in tennis history
Rafa
Well done Rafa on your new 19 slam achievment keep it up
Rafa is a fighter who never gives up, together with his impressive technique and physical conditions makes him an exceptional and unique player. The best without a doubt. Congratulations!
PS.: A humble, polite and empathetic person with everyone.
I am tearing up too....😅😅😅 Rafa deserves it 💕
An extraordinary end. An invincible champion - Nadal and a young, future champion - Medvedev. Thank you, both of you.
I'm proud of you Nadal I really am you won in my country for the 4th time winning the U.S Open🇺🇸 I'm glad you did it before Coronavirus.
What a terrific finals! Both players displayed their very best‼️ A big win for Rafa❣️🙏
This ceremony was so full of emotional moments. I can't believe that amidst his joy, in a GS win ceremony, Rafael took the time to send condolences to Karim Alami. What a man.
Omg I can't stop my tears..been waiting for this day for soo long ..u R the KING RAFA
Huge respect to Medvedev !!!
Grand slams coming his way as well for sure !!
I am sobbing like a baby all over again. The pain, the emotion, all the struggle all these years written all over his face and in his eyes. A true warrior and champion, Rafael Nadal.
A TRUE tennis fan will love and appreciate BOTH Rafa and Federer. I certainly do. Both are beyond extraordinary. Who do I root for when they play each other? Not sayin😁.
VLPRESL you got to throw Djokovic’s name in there. He’s been just as impressive as them. Those three together dominated their era.
VLPRESL I know who it’s RaFa cos u first mention him then Federer lol
I'm always both sad and happy when Federer and Nadal meet because I love em both .
@@malpete Andrew, I wasn't going to say, but I will tell you...it's Roger😀
VLPRESL it’s ok I love them both but Rafa slightly more 😁
Absolutely incredible that Rafa has FOUR US Open titles now. To think that many didn't even believe he would ever win one when he was already a household name after that epic 2008 Wimbledon final against RF, shows the tenacity and fire this man has to continue to improve at the very highest level of his sport. Mad respect, and I can honestly say that if anyone deserves to overtake RF in Slams, this guy does (and most likely will)!
I was really nervous for the match but the result made me happy. Rafa is the best but Medvedev is the future of the game....
Congats to Rafa and all his fans around the world. (Vamos)
