No.2 for me is the shot of the tournament if not the year.
Shot of the century
Century
@@Mythos189 watch the point nadal won against stepanek when he was younger. Is in youtube too.
@@endimion9156 l know reaching to the ball very fast and returning it with one hand without looking it was crazy
The second shot, apart from being impressive, becomes even more outstanding if you know this was the 4th set point for Sascha. Crazy save, crazy crosscourt.
Also shows how much baseliner Sacha is. Instead of coming for volley he hesitated. Else he would have won the point.
@@susharmaks3897 How could have he won the point if Nadal made that incredible passing shot? The slice before the passing was also very good, btw. :D
Sascha didn't hesitate, he was adopting a conservative posture covering the court. Actually the cross backhand normally would be a winner, except against Rafa or someone that covers court that fast like Alcaraz or Felix
@@abelmourino5454 His Cross Forehand was also amazing, could have been a winner against any other player, but not against Rafa, even at 36.
This should have been top 1.
#2 is the clear #1 for me considering the stakes of the SF at that point and being 4 set points down. Usual 🐐 things from Rafa
Nr 2 îs my favourite! Incredible, unique rafa! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏
that shot of the “victory belongs to the most tenacious” after rafa saves set point in the tiebreak of a set where he was a break down and then goes on to win. poetry.
Indeed ..
Out of this world..... love his celebrations too, so original and natural
Another one of my favorite celebrations of his is that little somersault flip he did on Centre Court after winning the 2010 Wimbledon final
To watch Rafael Nadal play Tennis is a Blessing 💯🙌
THE GOAT !!! VAMOS for GS23 !
by far the second shot is the best for him and for all the tournament withoaaaaaaaaaaaat a doooooooooouuuuuut as he always said
No 2 Is the best one, OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!
The best tennis player of all time (so far)
It’s incredible that it seems his level has managed to stay the same all these years, obviously his movement isn’t what it was in his 20s but I’d argue his overall strokes are better now then when he was younger, he’s spin and pace are just insane
His backhand is phenomenal now (since 2012-2013 or so when he had to change up his overall game like his backhand in order to compete against Novak after the 2011-12 losses to Novak), especially his crosscourt backhand that he puts so much power and hits extremely flat if his opponent foolishly sets it up for him and thinks his backhand is his "weak" shot. His slices and volleys are so much better now than pre-2012. His forehand and movement were much better prior to 2012 but because the quality of both of those have deteriorated because of age he has so many more weapons now to keep him very competitive on hard and clay courts. He still hasn't found that special shot or technique to help him make Wimbledon finals anymore though. That poor grass record since after 2011 Wimbledon when he was a finalist shows what happened to him on grass since he was so reliant on his forehand and movement and quickness in order to make 5 Wimbledon finals, winning 2 of them. Thankfully his new tactics have helped him out so much on clay and hard courts to deal with younger players and hang in there with Djokovic.
His forehand has aged extremely well, but his strokes for sure aren't better. Take a look at Nadal Coria Roma 2005.
@@matteo964 id argue his backhand is way better now that in the past, and his forehand he hits with much more depth than he did when he was younger
@@matteo964 Not really. His backhand was shit back then. His volleys and drop shits were mediocre back then too. He still has a great forehand but it is nowhere as good as it was in the 2000s. He didn't need to do anything on clay except hit that forehand and then run everywhere for defensive shots and gets. Did you forget how he only hit first serves to Federer's backhand in every clay court match from 2005-08? The TV would put a graphic of 1st serve placement by Rafa to Roger and it was a laughable 100% Rafa serve on ad and deuce courts to Roger's backhand. He had to fix his serve in the 2010s in order to keep winning Grand Slams also.
@@nogoodnameleft that's some stupid narrative that somehow everyone follows now. His backhand was much better back then. He used to hit some astonishing winners. Nowadays it's clearly weaker. Many end into the net or just aren't as effective anymore.
Of course, his backhand was top level in years like 2010 or 2013, but now sure isn't better.
El n.2 es uno de los más increíbles de su carrera. Con match point en contra y haces esa barbaridad
Match point no, pero si un set point😅
absolutely GOAT
Vamos Rafa!👍🇪🇦💪
I love that the outro for all of the Eurosport Tennis videos is Rafa doing that awesome celebration he did after winning the 2022 Australian Open final
accompanied by "game, set and match Djokovic" smh
Legend
Rafa ❤️❤️
no player can ever bring that passion and energy to tennis like Rafa does...
From 2005 till date ... It's the same intensity, phenonadal ❤️❤️❤️
Truest 🐐🐐 GOAT . Greatest of all Time 💕😘
N2 should be in every compilation of "Rafa Nadal's 50 best points of all time", and believe there is a lot to choose...
Vamos rafa❤️
the level of it all, you got to be kidding #22
I truly sense #15 will come next year. Reason being that, even with his diminished speed and movement at the ripe old tennis age of 36, I still don't see anyone posing a serious challenge to him at RG at this rate. He appears supernaturally undaunted on the Paris clay by any of the concerns mere mortals would be severely hindered by at that age. This truly is GOAT territory we're witnessing. Vamos, Rafa. The sky's the limit. 💪💪💪💪💪💪
@@valsainking manifest ✨ 💪
@@valsainking He has serious challengers but nadal is just so good in best of 5 format
The point against Sverev should be number one
Best tennis player in the world ...
Who has put the best shot at number two ? Is pressure situation something in Tennis? Infact, number two shot is best ever by Nadal as per me.
The highlight reel shows exactly what makes the greats great, peaking on exactly the right moment. 2 shots of the top 5 in what was an epic tiebreak, too bad the match ended the way it did…
VAMOSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Nadal just won Roland Garros. Doesn't matter when you read this.
stolen comment
#2 is #1
number 2 and 3 I like the most
His dropshots at the net are always perfect
He truly has one of the all-time greatest net game and drop shots now in his later career. Watch his old 2000s era highlights videos. He didn't ever volley or do that many drop shots back then because his groundstrokes and speed were so good. He has incorporated drop shots and volleys into his overall game and he is no one-trick pony anymore. It is ridiculous how people keep talking about how Djokovic and Federer have "upgraded" their games in order to compete after turning 30 but Rafa's new style of playing starting in 2017 after he turned 30 should be talked about more and praised just as much as the other Big 3's tactical changes.
@@nogoodnameleft i appreciate your comment, very informative
not always, but they're very tactically astute
number 2 should clearly be first place
No.4 is shot of the year
1:23 thanks for pointing them out i had no idea who was who
Come on, No.2 deserves no.1~~~:)
2°✴️
At the end of video you can hear...
"Game, Set and Match - Djokovic
6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-2"
That's the scoreline of Australian Open 2013 Final.
To use that audio clip while showing Rafa's 2022 AO victory celebration is just grossly irresponsible and frankly somewhat disrespectful. Pity!
Terrible! Good ear you have there. I want them to play that crappy announcer/commentator guy who calls it "the Miracle in Melbourne" after 3 hours earlier saying that there is no chance in hell that Rafa will win after going down 0-2 sets, 2-3, 0-40 in the 3rd set on his serve.
@@nogoodnameleft I too was expecting the "Miracle in Melbourne" line by Petchey.
I am actually glad that they said what they said. Every re-watch makes that progressively better.
@ 2-6, 6-7, 2-3 [0-40] :
Mark Petchey : That, surely, is the decisive point. The defining moment for Daniil
Brad Stine : Medvedev's got the hammer and nails out and is about to put the lid on the coffin
Talk about alliterations and metaphors...
@@towfiqahmed20 Thank you for giving me the names of the announcers. I have tried for over 4 months (and failed) to try to find the names of those two idiots so I can laugh everytime I watch a future match with them commentating.
@@nogoodnameleft Glad that I could help 😊
@@nogoodnameleft they say miracle in melbourne like after every long final there i remember an anouncer doing it at djoko vs thiem and fed vs nadal
People rarely talk about it But Rafa's Forehand is one of the most lethal forehand on tour
It's not rarely talked abt, It's a well known fact..
@@Rafan0003 I have never seen any tennis player talk about how good Rafa's forehand is but they talk about Delpo Federer Kyrgios etc forehands
lmao Rafa's forehand is one of the most talked about shots in tennis
💥🇪🇸💯👍
Rafa is such a sport that even while Djokovic's "game, set and match" is being announced he celebrates like crazy (watch until the end to understand).
Sorry if I'm wrong but at the end of the video your referring to, the black and white clip thats from his epic win in Australian open...
@@looneymuhammed4272 Yes, but turn the audio on, they are saying "game, set and match Djokovic", it's like funny and weird that they had to put that audio there with Nadal celebrating.
No1 is great but its a shot other players could do. No2 is a shot that only rafa could
I like how they point out where Rafa is. Like we do not know 👀
🤣🤣Ikr? I was just about to post that.
There have been so many tennis highlight videos where I watched the whole highlight and didn't realize which player was which. This was definitely not one of them though.
Great video, but could you leave the music out?
@0:56 Thats the Guillermo Vila's classic !
you missed Felix Match
(Rafa >/= Roger) >>>> Novak
The greatest Fraud in sport ever.
Jealous di*khead.😂
Cry baby cry hahaha here have a taste of it 🍼🍼🍼
Say that without crying
Djokobitch fan 🤮😂
