why when rafa gets beat is he always with problems? nobody can beat him without injuries? dont be fools Rafa style is made for injuries, i am sure someone can beat him without injuries, being objective here, but i wish always the best
@@architekturbeuth3606 🤣🤣🤣 do you really think Cilic is better Nadal is injured in 4th set which gave advantage to Cilic for sure Nadal always gives his best in Australian open since 2009 for sure Australian open is 3rd favorite slam of Nadal actually after 1. French open 2. US Open
Have never seen Rafa so amped and demonstrative in those early sets.. like he was willing himself through pain to win this thing. What a champ. There is no-one that competes as hard. I don't love Rafa, but huge respect for the man.
As a huge Federer fan since he beat Sampras at Wimbledon in ‘01, I’ve watched the man play the best tennis I’ve ever seen at the age of 36. Then comes the return of Nadal in 2017, a man who has battled injuries throughout his career, then goes on to win majors whilst probably playing through the pain barrier. I had wished for a Nadal/Fed final, but in that 4th set, we knew that Rafa was in pain. I hope he comes back strong later this year, tennis needs his fire and passion. And to those that don’t wish him well, please don’t comment.
oh dear.. let us all pray for the betterness of this poor little underappreciated person called Nadal. Thank you for bringing this to our erstwhile ignorance, thanks mate, really good job, carrying up the little guy.
Rafa's Rollercoaster ride at Aussie Open: '09- Won title v Federer '10- Retired in QF v Murray '11- QF v Ferrer '12- Finalist v Djokovic '13- Absent '14- Finalist v Wawrinka '15- QF v Berdych '16- 1stR v Verdasco '17- Finalist v Federer '18-QF Retired v Cilic Damn thats tough.. :(
The majority of players never even reach quarterfinals EVER in a grandslam, AND he has won 16 majors already. The ''roller coaster'' argument is stupid. Why don't you take a look at Tsonga, or Berdych, or Ferrer, or Monfils or anyone else for that matter? Since they have never, ever won a slam before?
Getting to quarter finals, semifinals and finals consistently is pretty good if you ask me. What about players like Benneteau, Istomin, Troicki, Bellucci, Granollers, Smyczek, Mahut, etc etc they have never reached a QF of a gs before, and even if they did, it probably only happened once in their entire career. Being one of the greatest ever doesn't have anything to do with the original argument. It focuses on Rafa ''had it rough'' in Australia when 95% of the players on tour have it worse than him. Victimizing Nadal is stupid since he has been RIDICULOUSLY successful in tennis.
I don't know what happens to youtube viewers. Are some people watching tennis only because of Nadal,Federer,Djokovic or other single player? I'm a federer fan, but I know that even he has the most Grand Slam titles he won't win every game, he won't be at his best position every time, every match. Even though I want fed to win, don't blame on players that are all working hard. Federer is great player so does Nadal and so does Cilic. And I love tennis, not just because watching a single player.
Personally I started watching tennis because of Roger Federer, so I keep track of him and his games. But my favorites happen to be females, Madison keys and lauren davis. Just on here after reading an article on nadal, felt horrible for him.
Who keeps telling people nadal is a fighter? Clearly he isnt!! U saying you honestly think after he went a break down in the 4th he was suddenly injured???
I am a die hard federer fan past 12 years and nothing gives me more pleasure in tennis than a FEDAL final match. BUT unfortunately nadal got retired hurt tonight !! NADAL you fought like a lion in that vintage sleeveless. Best of luck and health for your next slam ...the evergreen FRENCH OPEN while our maestro FEDERER will hopefully lift AUS OPEN 18 and prepare for Wimbledon crown again.
What a pitty. Cilic was playing incredible but it was obvious that Nadal couldn’t continue after the fourth set. I feel like Nadal should take a longer break and REALLY heal his injuries. I had a feeling before the tournament that he couldn’t play at 100% for seven matches in a row, especially after he withdrew from Brisbane. I’m happy for Cilic though. People who says that he doesn’t deserve his slam are idiots. When he’s playing his best tennis It’s hard to see anyone beating him. Unfortunately nerves comes in his way to often but hopefully he’ll keep on playing at this level a bit more consistently this season.
Nadal reached 3 grandslam finals in 2017 and won 2 major titles actually. 2018 Nadal is started struggling with injuries again in Australian open and US Open for sure. 2019 Nadal came back he reached 3 grandslam finals and won 2 major titles and reached semifinals in Wimbledon also. 2020 Covid 19 destroyed his game and playing actually 2021 Nadal is injured after French open 2022 Nadal came back won 2 major titles but got injured in Wimbledon also He is getting more injured in 30's than 20's and mid 20's for sure
This is some sort of shocking moment for tennis fans. Hope Rafa get well soon. It was tremendous effort even with the injury and win doesn't count the greatness always. Wish I could see another Roger and Rafa final. From Roger fan...
Content pour Cilic, même si j'aurais préféré qu'il batte Nadal en 5 sets gagnants et pas sur abandon. Mais c'est mérité. Pas un grand fan de l'espagnol mais j'espère qu'il ne sera pas blessé longtemps. Sa combativité fait toujours plaisir à voir.
Same old shit! He did this versus Stan too. He first took medical time out to break cilic's rhythm when he couldn't he just retired. For me Rafa made tennis interesting since he stopped Roger's ride but you gotta adapt to changing times or get out.
Till 4:25 Rafa is playing at his top form. No injuries for sure! See his movement!! After two breaks of serve in fourth set, a medical timeout definitely raises doubt. I am not being too harsh here. Anyways...Cilic is playing incredible and he would have won even if Rafa was injured or not.
Rafa seemed to celebrate winning points more than usual early on. This leads me to suspect something happened much earlier in the match and he was trying to cheer himself through the grind of a long match.
I thought I was the only one to see that, it's not the first time this idiot is losing and start this bullshit about been hurt , just be a fucking man and accept your adversary was superior to you
This injury was expected honestly. When you spend an average of 3 hours on court for every match at the age of 31 and with that playing style, something is bound to happen. In my opinion, Nadal should learn to be more aggressive returning the ball like Federer, even if it means more errors and more games dropped. That way, he saves his body.
Absolutely true , he and Djokovic play very physically and it can't be their best edge in their thirties. If Federer played like them he would've retire few years ago.
Im a federer fan but seeing Nadal retire after such an epic match almost made me cry. Its a shame when someone gives 1000% every match but the body just cant hold on. Hopefully he can recover and win RG again #11
apoorava madhukar...you are wrong my frnd in that point...when u see that point again its clearly seen he standing in front then after winning the point he turns left( bt the camera creates confusion that he give stare to cilic) bt actually he look towards his family box and feeling enthusiastic after winning the point as he always does to his moral booster ...
Well, tennis is a game where you have to be in the right mindset to do good. Nadal plays best when he is pumped up which is why he does all the fist pumps and stuff. PLus after 3 sets of vigorous hard fought tennis, he can really celebrate however they want as long as it isn't done right at the other player. Plus they all know each other and are probably friends anyways so idk...
It is understandable that nadal is injured... But you can't take credit of cilic that he outplayed nadal in this match... Now its time that nadal should take long break... Hope he will recover soon
The endeavour to compete despite your weakness to the best u can.what do you think his retirement from the match summons everything.Look at rafa he tried his best until injury was lethal,that effort man.
well im 17 and i have dodgy knees , i have cartilage problems laryd:/ but the rest of my body is perfectly healthy pretty frustraing as a tennnis player
Funny, I remember people saying that about Federer two years back. And funnily enough also about Nadal that same year. Then both come back the following year, sweep up all the majors and finish the year 1 and 2 in the world. He's injured, it's unfortunate but it happens sadly. Same boat as most of the top players are currently in. Talks about it being the end are premature at best.
I guess that when you watch the match, these highlights are not that special as i thought... Missing the Cilic's crucial miss on the 3rd set tie break when it was 5-5 is ridiculous!!! It was heart breaking... I actually thought it was game over for him, being 2-1 down on sets against Nadal... What i saw on the 4th set was impressive, it was like he was starting another match, battling so hard, overcoming hardly lost points, powering through the ever so fit Nadal. He was winning against the fit Nadal, and i'm almost sure he would also have won if Nadal din't got injured! I saw the mighty Cilic from that Us Open...
Well Ferreira, if you saw the miss on the 3rd set tie break when it was 5-5 you saw the whole match so there's no point for you to be watching the highlights here. Besides, if it was 5-5 it wasn't even "crucial". I for one didn't miss the miss you say is missing...
it was 5-5 on the tie break, and it would be Rafa serving next, so instead of a 6-5 to Cilic it was 6-5 to Rafa, serving, is that "crucial" enough for you? And i didn't see the whole match, i started around the end of the 3rd set
Losing only because of an injury?? This is exactly what nadal wants you to think. Cilic played like a monster. Such a goddamn sore loser. He can never stand the fact that someone beat him fair and square . He HAS TO take away credit from his opponent somehow. And make him feel bad for winning. Maybe it is his involuntary coping mechanism for a loss.
Not surprising, serve bots like Cilic hit 20+ aces in these kinds of matches which are counted as winners, they also play all out in or out tennis which at their best can help them hit a winner for every unforced error, if you actually examine the stats, Cilic hit probably 3 times more UEs than Nadal which makes this stat not impressive at all.
The last 2 days were just a nightmare : Thiem/Djoko/Dimitrov and Nadal out 😔😔. I really hope Berdych or Cilic will win. I don't want to see a final Chung/Edmund or Federer wins without victory against real opponent (except Berdych of course)
This is not yet roger 's slam to lose(meaning he doesn't have any body left to trouble him) cos mehn the players left in this tournament can beat roger on a bad day. My fellow fed fans let's just watch with hope and not say it's roger for the win. As for Rafa fans I salute you guys!
And this is one more reason why federer is the GOAT.Longevity isnt given naturally, its a delicate and complicated process based on the right decisions over and over and over again through the years. Diet is part of this as is the correct calculation and interpretation of the bodys signals, the correct maintenance of body weight vs energetic output vs stamina and how to adapt to a professional schedule around all this and get the best results, not to mention dealing with losses and keeping the mind clean and hungry for more. Only the best of the best can do this and thats why federer in that regard stands alone without competition, present or past, nobody has done what he is doing in terms of handling his body through a career like his. Nadal is a all time great and probably the third best tennis player of all time (i hold djokovic in higher regards) but his approach to tennis and career isnt as well tailored to longevity as federers is.
Why would he be a hater? He even said that in his opinion rafa is among the greatest of all time, lol..Rafa isn't greater than the fed btw..has nothing to do with hate, but if even uncle tony says that federer is the greatest, then that says it all.
His "time break" didn't work to stop Cilic's rhythm while loosing 4-1, lost that fourth set anyway, then when he realized he was going to get beaten decided to just leave.
Lol he was on fire, more winners cause rafa couldn't reach the ball and he was injured, if he wasn't for sure he was going to go for the ball anytime and turn the other way around, and also look at the unforced errors someone who more fit but got more unforced errors than the one who injured.
@Daniel Burke that's just a hatefull comment, see his expression at 5:29 and tge rest of the game after he was in pain but he kept continue and he shoudn't do that cause it was dangerous, u r ignorant.
@@muskulanikhil3623 if only you were on his shoes and you can feel the pain too cause that's fucking normal to react that way, that's the same reason why he withdrew from Acapulco a month later so it's pretty serious injury. Whe there's a lot of toxic childish tennis fans like you. Grow up.
I don't understand why there is any hate at all for Rafa, or even Djokovic. (Although Murray I can understand ;). I mean, we are literally seeing a golden age of tennis, where literally 7 people (Cilic, Del Potro, Wawrinka) have won all the majors for the last 10 years. Thats unbelievable. I respect everysingle one of those players so much and I feel blessed to have grown watching them. Debates about who was or is the best don't matter, because each person values different things in a tennis player. SO just shut up and enjoy this, before its too late
Rafa was definitively beaten by the better player, while I don’t doubt the leg was bothering him, hence hindering his chances, throwing in the towel is just bad etiquette when so many other players who cramp up - Djokovic, DelPo, even Baghdatis tough it out and honorably lose to the better player that day. Rafa, you have all the tools to end points faster.. it’s time you let your game evolve a bit.
You forgot to mention Federer, who never retired from a match he had started. He played through mono and back injuries without even mentioning anything. In 2016 Wimbledon SF, he played after he clipped his recently operated meniscus. After the knee gave way and Fed collapsed to the ground (a rare view), he got up, stood the beating like a man, finished the match and gave all the credit to Milos, although it was clear he couldn't move anymore. I call that respect for the opponent and for the fans.
After his medical time out, he still could play, but when he knew he started to lose the match he gave up. Ofcourse he wasn't 100% anymore, but who is? Djokovic and Federer have their medical issues as well and they don't quit
I think Nadal was indeed bothered by injury of some sort, which aggravated in the 4th leading to the 4-1 deficit. There were clearly no issues in the first three sets where he was sprinting all over the court as usual, especially that tiebreaker. I mean he was leading by 2 sets to 1 in the 4th, I don't think he would have quit under normal circumstances despite being 4-1 down in the 4th since there were countless times he was in this position but came back to win the match. He definitely knew that he had almost no chance of winning against Cilic who was becoming more dangerous as the match progressed. That said, I do think it was not a very sporting move by Nadal (at least to Cilic who really took it to Nadal and would've won regardless i believe) and that he should have at least finished the match.
BEFORE ANYTHING, CILIC played fantastic and deserve this win. ON to the injury: What happens when you depend and ONLY depend on physical strengths throughout your career. he's worn out and body cannot take it. he also cannot play light and effortless and win like Roger does. he still plays like he was 18, bit slower but same style...this is what happens.
Guys, the way that video was edited at the end - just momentarily confusing. Man, I really feel bad for Rafa there. To go to the 5th set like that and retire. Sucks But wth was going on between Cilic and Rafa anyway? Did they have an argument in the lockerroom ahead of the match? hehhehh Love that intensity though, never see matches like that.
Just enjoy the matches please! These guys (Fed, nadal, Djok, Murray, Stan) arent going to be around for long. Whether they lose or win, just enjoy watching them make shots, who cares who is the GOAT in about 10 years or 20. They are still gonna get paid even when they stop playing. Meanwhile, saying Nadal got injured or Fed is getting a lot of bias from the tournament should stop, Dont know whose ego are you trying to please. PS. I play tennis and love the game. I love Fed , Nadal, Williams and Dmitrov!
It's difficult talk about this match although the time, but Cilic has 83 winners, it's a insanity
20 Aces, 8 double faults, 83 winners, and 62 unforced errors.. Wow Cilic
conflict player
That's tough when your spirit is willing but your body isn't. Get well soon, Rafa. From a Fed Fan. :(
Jed Honrado wow
Man, hate to see that!!
cilic was the better player u can turn it how u want
I'm a fed fan too. Great words my friend... all the best to Rafa
why when rafa gets beat is he always with problems? nobody can beat him without injuries? dont be fools Rafa style is made for injuries, i am sure someone can beat him without injuries, being objective here, but i wish always the best
Fed fan here, I was so touched by your fighting spirit. Sad your body couldn't hold on to it. Get well soon RAFA
cilic was better
He was great, but we never know what would have happened if Nadal was not hurt in the forth set.
Why so much hate mate?
@@architekturbeuth3606 🤣🤣🤣 do you really think Cilic is better
Nadal is injured in 4th set which gave advantage to Cilic for sure
Nadal always gives his best in Australian open since 2009 for sure
Australian open is 3rd favorite slam of Nadal actually after
1. French open
2. US Open
Have never seen Rafa so amped and demonstrative in those early sets.. like he was willing himself through pain to win this thing. What a champ. There is no-one that competes as hard. I don't love Rafa, but huge respect for the man.
Fair play to Cilic. He played a great match. And after the bad luck that befell him at last year's Wimbledon, I hope he can win another Major. Cheers.
As a huge Federer fan since he beat Sampras at Wimbledon in ‘01, I’ve watched the man play the best tennis I’ve ever seen at the age of 36.

SmoothFlow Boxing respect for your wise words
CILIC WAS BETTER PERIOD
On the contrary, SmoothFlow! Those who don't wish Rafa well should definitely comment here. All the more pleasurable to see their disappointment!
oh dear.. let us all pray for the betterness of this poor little underappreciated person called Nadal. Thank you for bringing this to our erstwhile ignorance, thanks mate, really good job, carrying up the little guy.
Back to days when Marin was beast
Marin survived ..Rafa would have defeated him if he is fully fit ..cilic is celebrating like he won the match
Rafa's Rollercoaster ride at Aussie Open:
'09- Won title v Federer
'10- Retired in QF v Murray
'11- QF v Ferrer
'12- Finalist v Djokovic
'13- Absent
'14- Finalist v Wawrinka
'15- QF v Berdych
'16- 1stR v Verdasco
'17- Finalist v Federer
'18-QF Retired v Cilic
Damn thats tough.. :(
2009 was about the only good thing that ever happened to him, so I wouldn't really say "rollercoaster ride" lol
@The T-10
You probably misunderstood me..
''Rollercoaster'' means ups and downs..
Fast court never works for him, but its always amazing to watch him play aus open and Wimbledon and go down fighting everytime.
The majority of players never even reach quarterfinals EVER in a grandslam, AND he has won 16 majors already.
The ''roller coaster'' argument is stupid. Why don't you take a look at Tsonga, or Berdych, or Ferrer, or Monfils or anyone else for that matter? Since they have never, ever won a slam before?
Getting to quarter finals, semifinals and finals consistently is pretty good if you ask me.
What about players like Benneteau, Istomin, Troicki, Bellucci, Granollers, Smyczek, Mahut, etc etc they have never reached a QF of a gs before, and even if they did, it probably only happened once in their entire career.
Being one of the greatest ever doesn't have anything to do with the original argument. It focuses on Rafa ''had it rough'' in Australia when 95% of the players on tour have it worse than him. Victimizing Nadal is stupid since he has been RIDICULOUSLY successful in tennis.

I watch tennis just because Roger Federer. That's it. Rafa and Novak makes it more interesting. Tennis is nothing and boring without this 3.
Well, I love tennis. But I also love the way these players play tennis. I also found their personality on court quite inspiring.
ween rasmin Maybe one day there will be a rivalry that matches Fedal
Nice match!!
that reaction after the third set awesome
Damn, what a match.
What an exciting game of tennis!!!
Grow up guys..a champ like Nadal will never quit. I am a big Fed fan and disappointed to see such comments from amateurs.
Who keeps telling people nadal is a fighter? Clearly he isnt!!
U saying you honestly think after he went a break down in the 4th he was suddenly injured???
@@Gabriel-se9el lol. He was clearly injured.
Waiting for come back the strongest Rafa) Vamos
A warrior fell in the battle.
cilic was amazing in this match... 👏👏👏
Cilic is in prime form! 👍
Aman Bundela with a helluva serve.
Nadal had a injury. That's why he lost
So good to see Rafa defeated
I am a die hard federer fan past 12 years and nothing gives me more pleasure in tennis than a FEDAL final match. BUT unfortunately nadal got retired hurt tonight !!
NADAL you fought like a lion in that vintage sleeveless. Best of luck and health for your next slam ...the evergreen FRENCH OPEN while our maestro FEDERER will hopefully lift AUS OPEN 18 and prepare for Wimbledon crown again.
Everytime i saw the scene at 3:41 i laugh out loud
I dont know why but this match, when i heard nadal's grunt i fell want to cry because his grunt sounds like someone hurting so much
Para tener ese físico tan impresionante algunas veces Rafa Nadal parece tan frágil. ¡Los años no pasan en vano!
he did the same against delpo the same year
Look at that spin aftermath @1.12 !
3:26 when you are ready to die for the win on the court
WR IS GAME SPIRIT
Man hard to see a champion within tennis lose like this
What a pitty. Cilic was playing incredible but it was obvious that Nadal couldn’t continue after the fourth set. I feel like Nadal should take a longer break and REALLY heal his injuries. I had a feeling before the tournament that he couldn’t play at 100% for seven matches in a row, especially after he withdrew from Brisbane. I’m happy for Cilic though.

Unfortunately nerves comes in his way to often but hopefully he’ll keep on playing at this level a bit more consistently this season.
except Federer? should be except Djokovic actually. Cilic never defeat in-form Djokovic.
cilic is the new no.3 with various gs to come. he was the better player and destructed him in sets 1 and 3 and deserved to win
Nadal reached 3 grandslam finals in 2017 and won 2 major titles actually.
2018
Nadal is started struggling with injuries again in Australian open and US Open for sure.
2019
Nadal came back he reached 3 grandslam finals and won 2 major titles and reached semifinals in Wimbledon also.
2020
Covid 19 destroyed his game and playing actually
2021
Nadal is injured after French open
2022
Nadal came back won 2 major titles but got injured in Wimbledon also
He is getting more injured in 30's than 20's and mid 20's for sure
This is some sort of shocking moment for tennis fans. Hope Rafa get well soon. It was tremendous effort even with the injury and win doesn't count the greatness always. Wish I could see another Roger and Rafa final.
From Roger fan...
Anuradha Abhayawardhana no this is a Great Moment for Tennis Fans. Tennis has won Not a Acting
3:58 Look at the reaction after the sprint. He said he felt something after a sprint in the fourth set. Maybe that's the moment.
Content pour Cilic, même si j'aurais préféré qu'il batte Nadal en 5 sets gagnants et pas sur abandon. Mais c'est mérité. Pas un grand fan de l'espagnol mais j'espère qu'il ne sera pas blessé longtemps. Sa combativité fait toujours plaisir à voir.
Same old shit! He did this versus Stan too. He first took medical time out to break cilic's rhythm when he couldn't he just retired. For me Rafa made tennis interesting since he stopped Roger's ride but you gotta adapt to changing times or get out.

yes finally someones that see it thank you
Rafa seemed to celebrate winning points more than usual early on. This leads me to suspect something happened much earlier in the match and he was trying to cheer himself through the grind of a long match.
vinay unnikrishnan agree.
It is obvious that Nadal faked that injury. he was celebrating and chanting and playing normally with his aholio until the break. el falso
I thought I was the only one to see that, it's not the first time this idiot is losing and start this bullshit about been hurt , just be a fucking man and accept your adversary was superior to you
This injury was expected honestly. When you spend an average of 3 hours on court for every match at the age of 31 and with that playing style, something is bound to happen. In my opinion, Nadal should learn to be more aggressive returning the ball like Federer, even if it means more errors and more games dropped. That way, he saves his body.
Good idea, Smite. It's so easy! How come it never occured to Nadal...
nadal should learn to curry favour with the directors
so they give him matches away from the heat.
preferential treatment pays off
You're right on buddy. I suspected it as well. Corrupt tennis mgt. bias to favor Federer for $$$! But Nadal plays like a druggy mad man.
Absolutely true , he and Djokovic play very physically and it can't be their best edge in their thirties. If Federer played like them he would've retire few years ago.
Emanuil Penev that's why ...fed is greater
Im a federer fan but seeing Nadal retire after such an epic match almost made me cry. Its a shame when someone gives 1000% every match but the body just cant hold on. Hopefully he can recover and win RG again #11
He won Roland Garros that year and now he is 22
Bad luck Rafa, only the injuries win you... for your 11 french open. Vamos !!!
Yo ! Cilic !!!💥💥💥💥👌👌
4:24 the moment Nadal got the injury.
Luiz Gustavo Moment when Nadal Shows His Talent aß a Actor (the Bad one)
From 3:41 to 3:46 HOW would have Marin Cilic felt ? Is't little disrespectful to Cilic , correct me if i am wrong
You are absolutely right..
Nah its common courtesy in tennis after winning a set to co.memmorate more than usual
apoorava madhukar...you are wrong my frnd in that point...when u see that point again its clearly seen he standing in front then after winning the point he turns left( bt the camera creates confusion that he give stare to cilic) bt actually he look towards his family box and feeling enthusiastic after winning the point as he always does to his moral booster ...
Well, tennis is a game where you have to be in the right mindset to do good. Nadal plays best when he is pumped up which is why he does all the fist pumps and stuff. PLus after 3 sets of vigorous hard fought tennis, he can really celebrate however they want as long as it isn't done right at the other player.

Typical Rafa quitting the match when the opponent comes back and is about to win
Did see expect it
It is understandable that nadal is injured... But you can't take credit of cilic that he outplayed nadal in this match...
Now its time that nadal should take long break...
Hope he will recover soon
yea you are right cilic destructed him
So Jay, Cilic "outplayed" Nadal being behind in points. Good reasoning!
Jay K What MATCH DID U WATCH BRO? WTF LMAO I’m a Federer fan but Nadal was playing amazing at a maximum 75% here.
nope
Only because Nadal was injured.
Admire your effort rafa
What effort? he retired
The endeavour to compete despite your weakness to the best u can.what do you think his retirement from the match summons everything.Look at rafa he tried his best until injury was lethal,that effort man.
Grande Rafa
that's the risk playing that physically at that age. THE BODY IS BROKEN
well im 17 and i have dodgy knees , i have cartilage problems laryd:/ but the rest of my body is perfectly healthy
pretty frustraing as a tennnis player
The risk of NOT playing physically is LOSING
Funny, I remember people saying that about Federer two years back. And funnily enough also about Nadal that same year. Then both come back the following year, sweep up all the majors and finish the year 1 and 2 in the world.
He's injured, it's unfortunate but it happens sadly. Same boat as most of the top players are currently in. Talks about it being the end are premature at best.
It's not. Federer's 36, turning 37 this year and he just won 2 GS last year. His game is based on tecnhique and cleverness...
Yes i agree. Rafa less on technique but more on physical. That why Roger can stay longer in tennis.
My heart breaks for Rafa
Well done Cilic. Slam semis (Open era): Federer 43 Connors 31 Djokovic 31 Lendl 28 Agassi 26 Nadal 26 Sampras 23 Murray 21
4:27 that was me the whole day today

He was winning against the fit Nadal, and i'm almost sure he would also have won if Nadal din't got injured!
I saw the mighty Cilic from that Us Open...
Well Ferreira, if you saw the miss on the 3rd set tie break when it was 5-5 you saw the whole match so there's no point for you to be watching the highlights here. Besides, if it was 5-5 it wasn't even "crucial". I for one didn't miss the miss you say is missing...
it was 5-5 on the tie break, and it would be Rafa serving next, so instead of a 6-5 to Cilic it was 6-5 to Rafa, serving, is that "crucial" enough for you?
And i didn't see the whole match, i started around the end of the 3rd set
Losing only because of an injury?? This is exactly what nadal wants you to think. Cilic played like a monster. Such a goddamn sore loser. He can never stand the fact that someone beat him fair and square . He HAS TO take away credit from his opponent somehow. And make him feel bad for winning. Maybe it is his involuntary coping mechanism for a loss.
@Ferdous Alam That was only his 2nd retirement by injury in a major. Fake injury?
@Ferdous Alam you cant fake something like that in the ATP tour
I've never read something so stupid in my entire life
Poor rafa , fast courts like Aussie and Wimbledon do not work for him but its amazing to see him play with such high intensity and go down fighting.
He has 11 finals on Aussie and Wimby but sure they "don't work for him".
Wth 😱 83 winners vs 39
Not surprising, serve bots like Cilic hit 20+ aces in these kinds of matches which are counted as winners, they also play all out in or out tennis which at their best can help them hit a winner for every unforced error, if you actually examine the stats, Cilic hit probably 3 times more UEs than Nadal which makes this stat not impressive at all.
Totally unexpected. Huge boost for Federer once again though.
Nothing can stop him from winning the AO now, except himself.
berdych can. and will
How far is Nadal standing behind the baseline to return?! He’s doing it to himself imo. Btw, how did he get the injury?
Someone was commenting on Grigor - Nick's match about Rafa to prepare for his injury excuses. this is too soon.
Siempre fingiendo lesiones cuando viene paliza en puerta.
Wow
The last 2 days were just a nightmare : Thiem/Djoko/Dimitrov and Nadal out 😔😔. I really hope Berdych or Cilic will win. I don't want to see a final Chung/Edmund or Federer wins without victory against real opponent (except Berdych of course)
This is not yet roger 's slam to lose(meaning he doesn't have any body left to trouble him) cos mehn the players left in this tournament can beat roger on a bad day. My fellow fed fans let's just watch with hope and not say it's roger for the win. As for Rafa fans I salute you guys!
looked like Rafal hurt himself during the game, it is tough to win against pain.
Tennis is the best Sport
yes you are right
golf is better
I agree, tennis is the best sport ever!
Cilic played really well
My god ,
my wallpaper of rafa is blacked out even if its a pc error why today so sad :(((a
And this is one more reason why federer is the GOAT.Longevity isnt given naturally, its a delicate and complicated process based on the right decisions over and over and over again through the years. Diet is part of this as is the correct calculation and interpretation of the bodys signals, the correct maintenance of body weight vs energetic output vs stamina and how to adapt to a professional schedule around all this and get the best results, not to mention dealing with losses and keeping the mind clean and hungry for more. Only the best of the best can do this and thats why federer in that regard stands alone without competition, present or past, nobody has done what he is doing in terms of handling his body through a career like his. Nadal is a all time great and probably the third best tennis player of all time (i hold djokovic in higher regards) but his approach to tennis and career isnt as well tailored to longevity as federers is.
Flying Mammoon you are a Rafa hater. I would be to if I was a fed fan I would hate nadal
Why would he be a hater? He even said that in his opinion rafa is among the greatest of all time, lol..Rafa isn't greater than the fed btw..has nothing to do with hate, but if even uncle tony says that federer is the greatest, then that says it all.
Sad to see Rafa go injured again. No Fedal... No Fed vs Djokovic too.. No match can be as good as these two 😢
Se não fosse a lesão era para ser Nadal e Federer na final , uma pena .
I cannot see in these highlights when (at what point) the injury happened....can anyone else?
there was none he was afraid vs cilic and roger will do the same at sunday because marin to strong
@@architekturbeuth3606 and Federerrrrrrr destroyed
hahaha i respect nadal, instead of embarrassing himself even more he just took the 'L'.
cilic was way better logically that he doesnt wanna lose
Yep! it's reallly embarrassing to have a hip injury...
3:01 I need to learn this serve, both on deuce and ad side. Any tips are appreciated.
FIRST: YOU NEED TO BE BORN IN MEDUGORJE
SECOND: YOU NEED TO BE MARIN
His "time break" didn't work to stop Cilic's rhythm while loosing 4-1, lost that fourth set anyway, then when he realized he was going to get beaten decided to just leave.
Yeah. He shoulda kept playing as the win won't feel completely earned by cilic who was the better player.
A fighter like Nadal decided to leave? Can you spread your BS somewhere else?
Unlucky Rafael once you recover you will win titles and slams
EZ for Marin. As expected.
YEP: LONG LIVE CROATIA
Cilic 83 winners, Nadal 39. Cilic was definitely on fire. Lets hope Nadal´s injury is not serious.
Great match
Revenge in usa open.
Lol he was on fire, more winners cause rafa couldn't reach the ball and he was injured, if he wasn't for sure he was going to go for the ball anytime and turn the other way around, and also look at the unforced errors someone who more fit but got more unforced errors than the one who injured.
@Daniel Burke that's just a hatefull comment, see his expression at 5:29 and tge rest of the game after he was in pain but he kept continue and he shoudn't do that cause it was dangerous, u r ignorant.
@@muskulanikhil3623 if only you were on his shoes and you can feel the pain too cause that's fucking normal to react that way, that's the same reason why he withdrew from Acapulco a month later so it's pretty serious injury. Whe there's a lot of toxic childish tennis fans like you. Grow up.
4:27 Perfect MRW meme
What country is this guy from?
for fed fan as me, don't know who's to choose in final, cilic or nadal
The best player marin cilic
Nadals injuries are the reflections of his horrible way to play. There's a justice.
That was a very unusual celebration from Nadal after winning the third set. He was pretty weird throughout the match.
Bravo, Cilic! Mă bucur că l-ai nenorocit pe Nadal.
this is like a fight Ngannou - Miocic in UFC... with same end :)
YEP LONG LIVE CROATIA
Super Cilic !!!
I don't understand why there is any hate at all for Rafa, or even Djokovic. (Although Murray I can understand ;). I mean, we are literally seeing a golden age of tennis, where literally 7 people (Cilic, Del Potro, Wawrinka) have won all the majors for the last 10 years. Thats unbelievable. I respect everysingle one of those players so much and I feel blessed to have grown watching them. Debates about who was or is the best don't matter, because each person values different things in a tennis player. SO just shut up and enjoy this, before its too late
CILIC TO STRONG WILL WIN TOURNY
Rafa was definitively beaten by the better player, while I don’t doubt the leg was bothering him, hence hindering his chances, throwing in the towel is just bad etiquette when so many other players who cramp up - Djokovic, DelPo, even Baghdatis tough it out and honorably lose to the better player that day. Rafa, you have all the tools to end points faster.. it’s time you let your game evolve a bit.
betalpha, go first learn the difference between hip pain and cramp. Maybe your knowledge wil evolve a bit.
You forgot to mention Federer, who never retired from a match he had started. He played through mono and back injuries without even mentioning anything. In 2016 Wimbledon SF, he played after he clipped his recently operated meniscus. After the knee gave way and Fed collapsed to the ground (a rare view), he got up, stood the beating like a man, finished the match and gave all the credit to Milos, although it was clear he couldn't move anymore. I call that respect for the opponent and for the fans.
Was much more than a cramp 🤦🏼♂️
Roger will kick his ass in the final :)))
Típico en el viejo Rafa llevar el set abajo ya hacer pausa médica... esta vez no le funcionó
Nadal looks fine until he gets broken in the 4th set.
Yeah, his donkey grunts are even louder...
Do't know if this was fixed or not...
So when did Rafa get this injury...in this match or was it from his last match. Didn't see any signs of it in this qf. Just happened. Bizarre
After his medical time out, he still could play, but when he knew he started to lose the match he gave up. Ofcourse he wasn't 100% anymore, but who is? Djokovic and Federer have their medical issues as well and they don't quit
Paul Bredewoud
Yes, that's very true of Roger. Nole not so much
Yep. It's really bizarre that he was not injured before and all of a sudden he says he's injured.
He was leading in the match
Have you ever actually played any sports? You can injure yourself DURING the match you know. It happens to footballers, tennisplayers,...
I think Nadal was indeed bothered by injury of some sort, which aggravated in the 4th leading to the 4-1 deficit. There were clearly no issues in the first three sets where he was sprinting all over the court as usual, especially that tiebreaker. I mean he was leading by 2 sets to 1 in the 4th, I don't think he would have quit under normal circumstances despite being 4-1 down in the 4th since there were countless times he was in this position but came back to win the match. He definitely knew that he had almost no chance of winning against Cilic who was becoming more dangerous as the match progressed. That said, I do think it was not a very sporting move by Nadal (at least to Cilic who really took it to Nadal and would've won regardless i believe) and that he should have at least finished the match.
Stupid comment, you don't know how bad the injury was.
BEFORE ANYTHING, CILIC played fantastic and deserve this win.
ON to the injury:
What happens when you depend and ONLY depend on physical strengths throughout your career. he's worn out and body cannot take it. he also cannot play light and effortless and win like Roger does. he still plays like he was 18, bit slower but same style...this is what happens.
Guys, the way that video was edited at the end - just momentarily confusing.
Man, I really feel bad for Rafa there. To go to the 5th set like that and retire. Sucks
But wth was going on between Cilic and Rafa anyway? Did they have an argument in the lockerroom ahead of the match? hehhehh Love that intensity though, never see matches like that.
Ajmo Marineee....
CILIC IS THE BEST - from an Edmund fan
haha you are right i think yoou are edmund in person
he has fans too ?
Edmund has fans!?
vyraselis see my Channel if you want
Just enjoy the matches please! These guys (Fed, nadal, Djok, Murray, Stan) arent going to be around for long. Whether they lose or win, just enjoy watching them make shots, who cares who is the GOAT in about 10 years or 20. They are still gonna get paid even when they stop playing. Meanwhile, saying Nadal got injured or Fed is getting a lot of bias from the tournament should stop, Dont know whose ego are you trying to please. PS. I play tennis and love the game. I love Fed , Nadal, Williams and Dmitrov!
