He won the Rafael Nadal Open again. Well done.
Nadal Garros 😂
The guy has exceeded what human body can do. It’s incredible and inspiring to see what this man can do at age of 35. Thank you for your fighting spirit and I hope to see you at next RG!
36. Yes 36.
Medication
@@mowghlee Yes, make sure you take yours.
@@mowghlee go back to your jungle fam
He is already 36!!!!!!
This is how a winner must be honoured. What a class . You French people always rock.
And to think, they didn’t always like him.
French open is best grandslam of 4 majors.
I like Nadal physique from 2008 to 2014.
Mostly 2010,2011,2012 and 2013 it was in good shape for sure.
Rafa is THE GOAT.
@@compluto4190 I agree with you because you can't ignore he had the most injuries and still won 22 majors.
@@compluto4190 I agree with you because you can't ignore he had the most injuries and still won 22 majors.
the most important words...."but I keep fighting"....thats his mentality.....legend!!
Rafa has a strong magnet to that cup...truly a legend to admire in this era.
when I first saw him win his first slam with his game, i honestly thought how long would he survive with that game which involved lots of running and physical stamina....but look where he is today.... incredibly inspiring.... keep going Rafa.... God bless you
He doesn't even believe in God, he's agnostic, good one!
@@pauljohnson6019 if you’re agnostic, you believe in a god. Did you mean atheist?
@@johnanthony3764 no you don't it means you're not committed to believing or not believing
people like you sitting at home and doing shit all lol
he is my brother on another planet
I like how he still put his arm around Ruud during the trophy photos. He has tremendous respect for the younger generation of players!
100% agree. And for Rudd in particular as he’s also a great down to earth guy. ❤
I agree! You will enjoy the Nadal Academy if you have the right attitude - humble, obedient, mentally strong, and most of all willing to learn. Love that one of my favorites has been taken under Tony's wing as well as Casper. I can see the quality that Tony is looking for. It's an attitude! Thank Rafa for all the wonderful years!
And to think that Im a Federer fan first.
I also like that he isn't afraid to call out bad behavior amongst other players. Really demonstrates and promotes integrity.
To ALL Nadal haters and naysayers, #14 🏆 is dedicated to you guys. Against all ODDS, Rafa overcame all obstacles thrown at him. One-sided draw, having to play at night session that he didn't want, having to play 4 top ten players on his way to the final. Message is quite clear: NEVER count Nadal out. RG is his castle and he is STILL the UNDISPUTED KING 🤴 of Clay!
At 36yrs old, winning another RG title after the pundits, tennis experts/commentators, Djoko and Fed fan boys etc all wrote him off. What an unbelievable achievement for the ages.
I would suggest to those Djoko riders who keep claiming NOVAX is the GOAT, you all need to bite it and STFU. Give all the excuses you want for Rafa winning his 2nd GS of the year, His racquet 🎾 is doing all the talking....and Rafa is not done yet!
2022 = #22 GS 🏆and counting. 💪🇪🇦
Straight facts 💯
YES FRIEND, Nadal always has to fight against everything and everyone.
I used to be afraid of Nadal, because I love Roger so much. But now I love him even more than I do Roger. Now I admire him and try to emulate him as a human and as a competitor. Thanks Rafa.
I always have special place in my heart for Rafa. His humbleness and true sportsmanship is the main reason. Avery kind human being. Also he is best player in the world so far. Good luck and cheers Rafa
Rafa is a monster. His intensity and consistency in matches and over the years are beyond words. I always think of his answer to a question once in which he said he tried to be more wiling to suffer than the other guy. We are lucky to live in this era to get to watch him compete and dominate the court like this. Blessings Rafa from the USA.
He will keep going till he can't any more. Truly a love for his sport; and a sport that keeps giving back to him.
I don't think he wants to go that long. He said in press after the SF, that quality of life is more important than winning. What he did at RG this year, with his foot issue, is quite remarkable. But his foot issue is a degenerative condition and will only get worse since part of the bone is dying. He's not going to be able to keep injecting the foot to make it numb so he can play.
That no more came pretty quick.... sad
I am so proud of Rafa and the thought of him retiring breaks my heart. I know he cannot compete forever, but damn it, I am not ready to see him go. In tears at the mere thought.
Time stops for no one, unfortunately. I have the same thoughts but that is why I appreciate 2022 so much. We should enjoy it while it lasts.
An incredible achievement.
Sincerely Congratulations to Nadal.
Roland Garros 2022
I started learning this game tennis after watching this boy in 2005, the way he plays his shot and of course his style.
Proud of you Rafa.
Any improvement in ur game in all these years or still playing badminton with a tennis ball
Same here....back in 2005/6 when i was scrolling through the channels, suddenly he catches may eyes...he had long hair back then, was playing on a clay court....then i started to follow this sports and learnt all about tennis. I am lucky that i was following a top player.
@@z2t942 who hurt you?
@@z2t942 do they play that where you’re from ?
@@Savethemanuals94 translation please ? Not following you
his level this year aside from Rome and Madrid has been truly incredible. without the injury in Indian wells he'd have 5 titles, 2 slams, 1 masters and 2 500s and its only June 😳
The one before AO was a 250.
Guess what, Taylor Fritz had injury also, won't you mention that 😮
@@jeanyfan23 ah ye, my bad. even so, what a season this has been so far
Without Injurien Federer would have won every tournament this year
@@damiensmith9240 frankly at this stage of his career Madrid and Barcelona are irrelevant. Rome even more so, though out of the three Barcelona is the best clay court preparation he could have.
I was mostly a Federer fan but Nadal has really grown on me. I am at a stage in my life where sports is one of my biggest motivators. He is truly a humble, consistent champion.
Federer made him raise his game to this level. For that reason, I got Federer as the GOAT. No one thought winning more than 13 majors was possible, and when Fed started gobbling up majors, Rafa and Djoker had to step it up or never win. Fed is still the GOAT to me no matter how many Rafa wins.
@@freeguy3751 yes Federer in his late 30s tool Djokovic to 5th set tie breaker at the Wimbledon final. He would have demolished Djokovic if he was younger
French Open needs to rename that court Rafael Nadal Court. Even if he is Spanish!! AMAZING accomplishment, especially at his age!! Thank you Rafa!!! The journey continues . . . ❤
Congrats Rafa
My thoughts too . . But I don’t think that will happen while he is still playing professionally, so let’s hope it stays the same name for as many years as possible.
P E A C E : )
Unfortunately they won't because he's Spanish and they have to honor their country's heroes. But they should name one of the courts after him.
Seeing from 2005...
Just like sweet dreams...
Love you Rafa
I adore this Spanish God of Tennis! I have experienced so much joy watching him play. I went to Toronto to see him play and I am so grateful I had the privilege of that experience! ❤💛❤
The 🐐, a true inspiration to everyone to never give up 🙌🏻👌🏻
Remarkable Player, Just Admire him while he's still playing because we will never see his like again
Not"Remarkable" He is the greatest
Слава Украине!
@@yellowstone151 sasdfg fthhh
never broe a racket... in top 10 for more years than i have been able to to diet for
Remarkable? 😂😂😂
They said back then that Nadal's style of play wasn't going to last long and that he was not going to be long on tour.... wow what a way to prove doubters wrong!!
Rafa is a true Champion and a fighter. Good sporting character and exceptional down to earth personality. He never let down or critique on his opponents or anyone. He's true ambassador for his country and family man.well cultured personality. He always gives due respect for any player who comes from any level no matter what his ranking. Very good match .master class Good luck Rafael hope you will continue your journey with out your long time ankle injury. Hope it heels forever. God bless you Rafael 🙏
NYC USA 🇺🇸
Congrats our dear greatest champion. Thank you for making us millions of your fans around the world happy and.proud from another amazing achievements
In the field of your beloved sport tennis. You are a true blessed sportsman because of your kindness, humility,down to earth,simple and passionate human being. Rafans want to see you.more.on court in godstime that your.injury is.fully.healed. i just cant imagine tennis without rafael.nadal. Congratulations
Wishing you all the best of luck in the future that you already free from any injury and you want to be back again in the court. For sure now you need to take a needed rest and relaxation . God bless rafa. More power .
just listen to the crowd after he says he's gonna keep fighting 7:22. simply the best rafa we are not ready for your retirement..
legend is still in his very best. Hope we can watch his playing in such passion again.
What a player!
His knees were shot to pieces over a decade or so ago and yet he comes back stronger to beat all the odds and in so remains grounded and humble. What a champion and a fine example of a sportsman you are.
A living ICON. 🐐 Sometimes words fail moments like this.
when words fail, I use emojis 🙂
@@jocelyngarces6727 No, you just used words.🙄
I don't know how much longer we will see this. Rafa, you inspire us all. Your mental strength and will are second to none. A thank you for winning this, one more time. You won this, not only for yourself, but for all of your fans. Can we all give a shout out to Casper Ruud!!!! Nadal Is The King!
There is noone like him, noone like Messi, noone like CR7!!! We all should be thankful and proud being able to live in their era!!!
Exactly!!
No one like Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton as well, no one like the Williams sisters, Federer, Djokovic, like Tiger, MJ, Kobe, LeBron Bolt, Tiger, Tyson, Phelps. We are truly living in the time of the GOATs!
@@stateyournameplease and they say that aliens do not exist...
@@stateyournameplease couldn’t agree more
@@therandomlist8084 Tiger, Kobe, and LeBum aren’t GOATS. You mean to say Ruth, Nicklaus, MJ, Rafa, Brady, Gretzky, Schumacher, Messi, etc. You don’t name three nba players and call them all goats lol. Pick one and move along 🤙🏻🗑
22nd GS in 2022...What a victory Rafa ❤️❤️
23nd GS in 2023.What a victory Novak
I knew Rafael Nadal would win Roland-Garros 2022. Right from the days when he started winning as a teenager, it was evident that Rafa will be an Invincible Tennis Star. And Rafa has proved it time and time again. Congratulations Rafa- You Are A Priceless, Invincible, and Crown Tennis Star. Wish You Many More Victories In The Days, and Years To Come.
why did you start capitalizing the start of individual words in your sentence
@@SheepheadVideos 😂😂 he doesn't know either.
No u didn't know..u just thought...
So beautiful words
Pete Sampras: I’m the goat. I got 14 grand slams.
Nadal: hold my French open trophies 🏆
Rafael Nadal and Roland Garros is the most beautiful love story in the history of tennis and sports in general too, they are such for each other 🎾❤️
Real Madrid Champions League trophies: 14. Rafael Nadal French Open trophies: 14. Coincidence? I think "yes"
Both in Paris, coincidence?
Probably
simply the best in style, in personality, in character, in tennis, in everything ..
2005 to 2022, what a journey RAFA
They thought nobody would catch Sampras with 14 slams , Rafa 14 RG titles alone and 22 and counting all in, plus Olympic Gold. Rafa is the GOAT ....
Same thing I said. He could pack all of Pete Ssmpras GS titles into one tournament. Amazing. Pete should've been there.
The greatest tennis player ever...
Thank and congrats Rafa! He is really amazing and inspiring. I can't find words that explain how i feel watching this wow...my GOAT forever
We are all witnessing history being made. Are we not privileged? It will take over a 100yrs for this record to be broken. It's indeed a special time for us to witness this.
Take my words: this record of Nadal won't ever be broken unless French Open is held twice or thrice a year AND one super-specialist of clay court arrives in the scene, or this competition shifts from it's traditional red clay court to hardcourt or grass court.
You are what makes every common man believe that they can be victorious in their path of life with perseverance, hard work, and determination. However skilled and god gifted your peers are being a humble pie and putting in work every day will reap you rewards. Thank you, RAFA. Thank you for making us believe in ourselves.
Graciss Rafa por ser como eres...campeón de campeones, eres un orgullo para España.
to be honest thanks to RAFA i archieved a lot
No, not every common men can be successful.. And leave this God religious nonsense out of tennis..
Win or lose Rafa is a great role model, always full of praise for his opponent. 🙂
I was about to cry, when he said never thought he will here at this age, I thought he gonna say it’s his last FO ,don’t wanna see him retire, we already don’t know about Federer. The goats era is coming to an end
yes and jurassic era is starting.
He's won the last two slams. Hardly!!!
Just unbelievable what Rafa has done year after year at Roland-Garros, defying his age, injuries etc definitely the goat 🐐 of Tennis 🎾
Grande RAFAEL NADALLLLL, EL MEJOR DEPORTISTA Y MEJOR PERSONA.. FELICIDADES TE QUEREMOS👏👏🇪🇸🇪🇸💪💪
Rafa the GOAT. Casper a class act. Well done guys!
What's so amazing for this incredible athlete is his so humble and very very down to earth in words and actions! He's the only player in tennis history who won the French Open title 14 times in also 14 Finals appearances! Congratulations!!!
Hoy hemos visto a un GRAN HOMBRE, humilde, orgulloso, agradecido, tras 20 años de esfuerzos titánicos. Gracias por ser español.
I don’t think he had control that he was born Spanish and he’d be the same no matter what country he was from. No ?
@@tennissir1986 YES SIR... YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT !!!!! Even I live in Mexico actually, I was born in Menorca, one of the Balearic Islands... I am proud of it...
@@didac1943 Grow up.
Rafa is a MAGNIFICENT fighter and a humble champion!
Absolutely. I just think that he is going to be in a wheelchair in his 50s, because of what he is doing to his body. I don't think any trophy is worth your health.
I hope Rafa will win the rest 2 slams of the year
will never get tired of seeing this "usual" wonderful moment in the world of sports!!! wonderful on and off the court. we had chapters about the football legend Pele during our school days which was inspiring. Rafa's story is in the same level, esp his fights with injuries, followed by his bouncing back to the court.
The GOAT.... my number one. Congrats, Rafa. You're incredible... irreplaceable, too. Love you to bits💕💕
CONGRATULATIONS RAFA!!!!!
YOU ARE THE BEST. THE REAL G.O.A.T. 22 Grand Slams. 14 French Open. Both records. 2 Gold Olympic Medals. Plus many Masters 1000 and other titles. All that fighting throughout your career with chronic health issues. Besides being a great person, and an example of an athlete; humble, grateful.
VAMOS RAFA!!!!!!!!!
And then came Novak
What can I say he is the greatest ever in tennis and as a human being.such a lovely humble person.
You forgot how to spell Novak?
Rafa winning at RG is like watching "The Wizard of Oz"- it never gets old, even if you've seen it 14 times.
On the contrary, the recent wins in 2020 and 2022 are the sweetest. Especially after the new roof and not so suitable conditions for him at times. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes. How many times has he done this?? Never gets old. Beyond belief
@@z1az285 It's astounding what Rafa did to get #21 and #22 this year- so proud of The Bull!
@@slc2466 Amen, just praying that the radio frequency treatment on his foot is a feasible solution. Unfortunately anti inflamatories didn't work in 2021. Fingers 🤞
@@z1az285 Yep, would love to see Rafa keep going after such a fantastic first half of 2022. Hope the procedure works, but in any case it's been a remarkable season for him of course.
Happy that Casper made it to the final. That goes to show how good Rafa's clay academy is; congratulations Rafa on your 14th RG title and history. Thanks to all the supporters and fans for cheering him on especially during the tough games.
Yes and Casper did better than Federer did in 2008 final.
A big thing was made about le decimel (10th FO title). To think, that he's won FOUR since then is craziness.
Whats even more crazy is he could win one or two more!
A great champion, what a humble ans thankful man!!! Huge respects Nadal!!!😍
Maybe not at number one in rankings BUT Rafael you are number one in grand slams won Congratulations super champ 👏
2 Grand Slam not enough to be world No. 1, what a stupid ranking. Rafa deserve to be No. 1 again.
@@rpgslickfox5900 He is No. 1 in the year-to-date rankings (Race), nearly 2000 points ahead of No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz. With basically no points to defend for the rest of the season, Rafa will be adding points at every event he plays, except for Wimbledon. Rafa has a good shot to be No. 1 this as soon as this summer.
@@rpgslickfox5900 No.1 is irrelevant at this stage of his career. It's all about the slams. Honestly he just needs a high enough ranking to avoid a lot of top seeds in his draw, but that's it.
Rafa, a special CHAMPION of all time. Inspirational, motivational and guts! I cant wait to see you again on the tour!
I've memorized the tune of the Spanish national anthem after all these years of watching Roland Garros. 😁
Game, set, match...Nadal 😉
22 Grand slams - The greatest of ALL time
Novak says hello
@@BogdanPW641 23 AND COUNTING - THE GOAT
The G.O.A.T athlete in all sport. No one comes close to this phenom.
Rafael is greatness personified. Amazing he has been unlucky to lose eight of his 30 grand slam final appearances
Tom Brady won his 7th Super Bowl at age 43...Not in all sports but in tennis without a doubt.
@@JAY-ns1dg great athlete too, but it's not comparable with what Rafa is doing.
@@JAY-ns1dg nobody cares about Super-ball apart from the Americans.
Serena has 23. Rafa is still a legend though.
I hope he will get 3 more french open, one Wimbledon, australian and us open. I enjoyed his playing last 18 years, incredible player, his hardwork in ground, i always wants to rafa to win all matches.
No he won't get "three more french opens". I can realistically see one more, but he is definitely capable of winning the US open one more time too. Wimbledon is possible, but he needs a good draw. Frankly the draw will be super important for anyone really
@@z1az285 yes he hill get three more french opens king of clay
@@z1az285 Vamos rafaaaaaaaaaaa
@@muhammedkamran7365 Nope, 1 -2 (max). I don't see him playing beyond 2024. But yes vamos rafa until then.
Phenomenal Rafa !
So impressed by the exchange between BJK and Rafa. One legend truly honoring another. I wish I knew what they said to each other. It was obviously a mutual admiration society. Also, it was so sweet of BJK to coax Casper to get closer to her, so that he could be in the photo op. Casper also seemed to have a great deal of respect for BJK. So great to see.
00:53 to 00:56
When he hits the trophy
We can understand how much he missed the trophy for a year
It's a part of his life
When Nadal retires in my opinion they should give him the trophy to keep & design a new one as nobody will ever win it 14 times. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Unbelievable...I mean, really? Unbelievable....Unstoppable, unprecedented, unquestionably....OMG unbelievable (with Rafa's accent)
Thank you, dear Rafael! Lovely watching you play your game as you play the sport.
Still, be good, remain good, act good, for it must get harder the higher one ascends..
Roland-Garros should be renamed to Nadal's Castle. Dude literally owns it now for 14 years. Insanity.
A tap on 0:54 really shows his relationship with Roland Garros trophy is like a bet friend, Love you Rafa!!!Vamos Rafa!!, He is the biggest inspiration of my life.
A living legend who deserves every trophy he earned and will ever win 💜 all the best Rafa 👍
Nadal, Federer and Djokovic, three of the very greatest sportspersons, in history.
Crazy that he is playing his best tennis at 36 years.
Rafa should start chair umpiring matches @ Roland Garros. Blindfolded ofcourse. Would do better than Hawkeye, because he lives, breathes and dreams the clay of Philippe Chatrier. 😌😌🇪🇸🏆
Rafa continues taking trophies in RG and 22nd Grandslam at the age of 35 and Congratulations a tennis fan from the Philippines
Happy to see Ruud’s smiles.
Muchísimas Felicidades Rafa!!!

Eres increíble como deportista y sobre todo como Persona!!!

Congrats Nadal. A true inspiration. Tenacious, humble and following rules (not antivax); a true champion.
Legend. 14 French Opens. That is nuts.
The greatest of all time by far! 🎾
That didnt age well..
One thing I've noticed about the French crowd is that in the beginning Rafa didn't have a lot of support in Roland Garros even when he had 4 titles there. But over the years they've come to appreciate the great work Rafa is doing there and he's won their hearts during their period. I must say I'm pleasantly surprised at the level of support he's had this year at French Open. It's amazing.
Es merecido muy merecido se lo ha ganado como el mejor y mas grande tenista y ser humano.
you don't win 14 times without talent, this guy has great talent with 110% effort, that's how he is the goat
Yes, plus Nofap, he's probably on 1000+ days monk mode.
@@pauljohnson6019 23>22
I am 100 percent sure you keep on going for some more years in playing good tennis and more success will be added to your feather in cap proudly and congratulations for 22nd victory hopefully the saga continues may God bless you from India karnataka
Listening to him, I almost get the feeling that he's satisfied. As though, he has nothing else to prove in the game. I wouldn't be surprised if he retires while on top, although as his last comment suggests, he may stay on top a little while longer . . .
Oh he has a lot to prove in tennis. Realistically speaking, if Rafa retires today, maybe the goat and GS record holder will be Djokovic.
It all depends on his health. I don’t think he would play more than 2 more years max. And let’s be honest Even Federer was done by age 38 in 2020. Nadal is 36 and Nole is 35. Let’s Enjoy these 3 legends while they still playing.
@@realchimera the other way round, Djokovik has to prove. Anyway they both can stop today and they are legends, they dont need anyones approval.
If his body allows, I can see him retiring in Paris 2024.
@@emrberlin2144 Great point. I thought that was his original plan, but with his foot giving out last year, and with the current status i do hope he can last until 2024
