He Was Nadal's Best Friend Until.... (Worst Humiliation in Tennis History)

Hope you enjoy today's video, Don't forger to DROP A LIKE For More Original Tennis content!
When Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic receive a 6-0 Bagel from Rafa, what would happen to the casual players! One of the most brutal performances from Rafael Nadal against one of his best friends on the tour.

[@SJ-di5zu]

2012 Rafa was crazy until the knee injury. Started strong at the AO where he managed to hold off a peaking Berdych playing the best tennis of his life, then beat Federer in 4 very good sets, but finally lost the 6 hour final to Djokovic. Then he had probably his most dominant clay season outside of the Madrid blue clay stuff, picking up three easy wins over Novak dropping only one set, sweeping his way through Monte Carlo, Rome, Barcelona and RG. He was just barely even being pushed during clay season. No one could touch him. His backhand was aggressive, forehand was on point, athleticism was near peak, and probably his best returning year too.

What knee injury? Rosol took his soul haha

Now I know if I played Nadal, my score would just be two games shy of Monaco's

Untrue - the surface just suited his style of play.

[@rafagoat575]

@@cliveuuking4602 and how does that make the statement above untrue? LMFAOOOOOOOO Grass suits Federer's style of play, so does hard court with Djokovic, so I guess their level was super high on those surfaces, it just suited them!! lmfaooooooooo

[@Casolo74]

​​​@@rafagoat575That is true. And Rafa on clay was superior to Nole on hardcourt and Fed on grass. So Rafa's game on clay was the highest level of tennis ever witnessed.

@@Casolo74 true, nothing can compare, nothing comes even close to Rafa on clay in tennis history, that's why they always try to "TAKE OUT CLAY" lol

​@@rafagoat575The funny thing is that he still has 8 slams outside his favourite surface,99% of tennis players dont reach that number even counting all surfaces.He would've won even more if not for injuries and u would still see people call him a clay merchant💀people are dumb af

[@AisWills-vw3jk]

Rafa the undisputed Goat of Clay . . If he was not out injured in 2023, he'd have given Novak a run for his money and could have won one or two Grand Slams.. If he had he'd be on 24 and if Novak won one he'd be on about 22.. 2023 was bad luck for the Spaniard. I hope he can start winning trophies again in his last year on the tour .Amen

[@josemanuel2118]

Pico was not even playing bad at all.. Poor creatures.. Nadal is a total beast of tennis. But he had very very bad reaction to his loss.. Even Federer Amd Nole had a Donut from Rafa. He should know inside the court there are no friends. Bad from him

[@celinegarcia4158]

When you step on the court you're there to play no matter what court, no matter who you're playing against. Tough to face off against a friend. But you need to get with it anyway because that's the luck of the draw. In this case, thank your stars you get to play Rafa. Pobre Juan. Thanks Wivo. Clay season is Rafa season.

if Alcaraz Sinner Federer Djokovic and Rafa are all 20 years old now - the No. 1 in the world would be King Rafa ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ no one can play the way he did - the strong mentality of King Rafa is second to NONE. He is the trendsetter of what it takes to be a fighter for Every point up to the very End! the game is not over until his serve and returns say so. For all these excellent matches, for all your inspirational wisdom actions, for all these glorious and painful years of your career- thank you so much my only idol king Rafa. ❤ 🇪🇸 This world of tennis would miss you a lot when you retired and anyone who wants to fill that shoes of yours would fail. They may win here and there but they can never have the same strength and consistency for decades - winning whether injured or not- May you be blessed more outside tennis world - may you enjoy your family without anymore pain in your body. Rest your tired but very fulfilled body - you have done a lot for tennis world - we are so proud of you. King of the Kings ❤️🇪🇸🎉❤️🇪🇸🎉❤️🇪🇸🎉❤️🇪🇸🎉🙏🙏👍🏻🇪🇸👍🏻

[@robertoyamakata6672]

Don't take it bad but at least I feel (in other match with other friend) that once in a lifetime Rafa played not at his best against a friend to help his opponent's carreer. His friend was playing the best tennis of his life but still he needed to win Rafa just for one time to become great and even at his best moment that was almost impossible. And that time Rafa felt rarely uneasy on the tennis court and lost.

Maybe you should stop taking the title seriously and just have a laugh. Obviously Monaco did not end his friendship with Rafa over this, but it’s a brutal match and the title is a funny joke. Basic social cues should tell you this is a tennis video, not a documentary on Nadal’s friendship with Monaco.
