Legendary Moments in Rafael Nadal's Career

● Hey guys, new fresh epic video about the great Rafa Nadal ! My last video on Federer have worked quite a bit and most of you seemed to enjoy it so I've decided to create the same one for the kind of clay !
● The idea stays the same, I've chosen 10 of my favorite moments of Nadal's best displays of tennis when he was most of the time close to lose a big match and behind in the scoreboard. Some of them were really crazy comebacks, this is why I extended the lengt of each match to 2 min and more compared to 1min30 in my Federer's video. Needless to tell you this work took was way harder to make.
● And last there is a couple of people complaining about the dynamic editing and the epic background soundtracks in the Roger's video but this is what I like to do guys ! There are a lot of youtube channels who makes videos more "calm", I have always done this kind of creative videos and is not ready to change. Without forgetting this a way for me to avoid copyrights, so for the people willing to support me on patreon I'm also releasing the video without music and black bars. / lehunterpro
That being said, I hope you'll enjoy this tribute to Nadal hoping to see him injury free for what could be his last season next year !

[@cfcblues5979]

Evoked feelings within me I never thought I had. All the early wake ups, late evenings, heart attacks in slams: worth it. To witness his career, ups and downs, grand slams and injuries: worth it. A legendary athlete and a kind, humble human being. An idol and icon. Forever a fan!!

[@lehunterpro]

Couldn't have said it better 👏 Rafa is the whole package, a very rare human being.

[@debtysall6376]

Wow, I could say exactly this.... part of my heart has gone, and I find myself not enjoying tennis as much right now....Rafa is a once in a lifetime payer, that's for sure. And its not just about the tennis, he is the whole package and I know I wont see his like again in my lifetime. Its been such a privilege

[@cfcblues5979]

Thank you for this masterpiece! Along with all the other amazing videos.

Honestly it doesn’t feel like a part of me is gone, but a big part of me. Hoping for a great 2024🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@SJ-di5zu]

Nadal is so fun to root for. You get all of the ups and downs of his successes and injuries/close losses, a collection of battles at least 3-4 times a year, and he almost always finds a way to pull through or at least go down fighting as hard as you can imagine. Is he the GOAT? I don’t know, and honestly I don’t care. But once you become a diehard fan, he will impact such a huge portion of your life.

[@proenzaschouler4165]

I’m so happy I chose Rafa. All the emotions he made me experience. The joys, the sadness, the tears... victory or defeat, you always live and learn something with Rafa. If you don't have the same values as him, you can't follow him. He's the player who brings you closer to what's essential and teaches you that, in the end, trophies will pass, the most important thing is who you are as a person.

[@marklo3739]

Very true

[@lilylayzell1072]

Beautifully expressed truth.

[@lilylayzell1072]

This film is a remarkable, powerful souvenir you have given his true fans to keep forever. Rafa achieved these moments of greatness by means of spirit, mind, will, athletic giftedness and pure undiluted heart. He is an artist and you have expressed who he is through your own artistry. Thank you seems such a meager phrase but it’s all we have to give back to you. And how can we ever thank Rafa for all the years of pure joy we have experienced watching him do what he loves at such great cost? We cannot.

[@softhotty]

The commentators call at the end in the AO final was Epic ! Said: "We are going to a fifth set in the mens final" "Forehand by Medvedev up the line...Rafa on the stretch up the liiiiiine...he has nailed it again"..."Rafa's broken the fifth game of the fifth set". "Rafas got the break...again; and he'll have another chance...to come out and serve for the match." Chilling...absolutely chilling call. Tears of genuine joy. Top 3 greatest feats Ive ever witnessed. #1 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey team beating the Russians. #2 Jack Nicklaus winning the 1986 Masters #3 Rafael Nadal winning the 2022 Australian Open. Moments you are so glad to be alive to witness. Indelible imprints on my brain.

I love this compilation and especially the inclusion of Nadal vs Delpo Wimbledon 2018. Only ones I think are missing are: Nadal vs Federer AO2009 third set. Nadal was down 4-4 15-40 and 5-5 0-40 at the end of the set, managed to hold both times, then played a God mode tiebreak. Thiem vs Nadal USO 2018: Such a great, underrated match with phenomenal ball-striking on both ends. Nadal/Verdasco AO2009 SF: Just my personal favorite match ever. Same as the above match but even better. Nadal vs Djokovic RG2022 4th set: Such an important set for Nadal to turn around, after saving two set points at 3-5. It allowed him to get his 14th RG title on an ailing foot.
