Rafael Nadal ● 20 Years of Emotions | Tribute

● Hey guys, new short tribute video about Nadal's comeback for 2024 as a Christmas gift ! The day Rafa has announced his return on the tour, I immediately started to create something special for the occasion in the way I did it for Federer in 2021. I hope you'll like it !
● Thanks to everyone who keeps supporting to me through the years. In 2024 it's gonna be 10 years since I started this channel. The exact anniversary is the 7 Oct. 2014 (even if I already had a channel before where I was mainly uploading highlights and who got deleted)
I wish you a great new year hoping for a fairy tale comeback for the king Rafa !

The best player there will ever be. His tenacity, focus, humbleness, his character, his taped fingers and aligned bottles and colorful shirts and headband, his grunts and his legend is totally one of a kind. Tennis is boring without him.

[@femarlom]

Good afternoon from Principality of Asturias, in the north of Spain. I´m sorry so much, but I don´t speak English very well, but I need to tell you.... Thank you so much for this phrase: "TENNIS IS BORING WITHOUT HIM". BIG HUGS FROM SPAIN AND THANK YOU SO MUCH. ;o)

[@rileyreese3991]

@@femarlom Every word is true! Thanks Spain for giving us a legend.

[@femarlom]

@@rileyreese3991 Thank you, FRIEND. BIG HUG FROM SPAIN. ;o)

[@amaliwijesundara6377]

You have said it all...Tennis will be really lose all the color without Our Rafa❤

[@dqestacio]

Totally agree! He’s the only player that makes my heart beat faster when watching a match. I adore him on and off the courts and wish him all the best in 2024. Whatever the season might bring him, I’ll be there, enjoying his solar performances, his captivating spirit, and his talent.

[@rafanatic22]

It’s amazing. Not a single word was said in this video, almost no actual points were shown but it made me emotional nonetheless. You captured the 20 year long journey of Rafa perfectly and did so with an amazing soundtrack, an exceptional eye for detail for heartbreaking moments which only die hard fans will recognize (e.g. the break point Djokovic defended at W18). Then the mixing of slow motion and speed up in the video was amazing as well. I can’t wait for the next chapter. Thank you for this video 😢

[@lehunterpro]

Thanks my friend, the video you've made a couple of weeks ago was a big inspiration ! I was looking for to make something different and when I was found this music the idea to make something with slow mo and speed up came to me. I'm glad the real fans of Rafa like you catch the meaning of the subtle things I decide to show in my videos 😉

[@SkyreeXScalabar]

When you have a career ending foot injury at the age of 19 but you push through and become a legend of tennis anyways

[@varunbhati2178]

Cant see this man retiring my childhood is fading away with his retirement...he has given so many good moments in my life😢😢😢

[@stuewz]

For me and I know for a lot of tennis fans around the world he is the real GOAT. Rafael Nadal is the one who compete with Federer back then, he is the one who chased him. He was always consistent enough since a young age to be in top. His foot pathology is the only reason why he struggles since he ages. If he doesn't own the GS record today it's purely circumstancial. GOAT Nadal for ever.

[@IRenegadEEEEE]

My goat. I am going to enjoy this last dance with him. He brought me so much joy in my life and I will miss him when he retires.

[@femarlom]

GENTLEMAN + WARRIOR + PATRIOT + HERO = RAFA NADAL. RAFA, YOU ARE THE TRUE SPANISH PRIDE !!!. GOD BLESS YOU FOREVER !!!. FROM PRINCIPALITY OF ASTURIAS, IN THE NORTH OF SPAIN... ALL MY ADMIRATION, RESPECT AND DEVOTION. ;o)

[@andyroo9381]

WE LOVE YOU, RAFA!

[@Aksriv100]

2024 season if its Rafael Nadal's farewell I firmly believe it will be epic and emotional at the same time

[@Olly_2024_]

Can’t wait for his return, whatever it brings. Just seeing him on court one final time will be amazing 🔥

[@bilalattal2707]

I hope you enjoyed that first match like I did Thank you Thiem for playing a high level match and losing 😬

[@tirthankarsarkar4206]

I didn't understand a single word of the song, yet understood the emotions it wanted to convey through the video. This could be one my favourite Rafa tributes ever (and I've watched a lot of them on KZbin). Merci Beaucoup mate! Your work is truly astounding. Tennis community is lucky to have you ❤

[@lehunterpro]

Many thanks for your kind words man, it's the same for french people when they listen to english songs. Music is universal and makes you feel something even if you don't understand the langage, that's all the beauty of it.

[@ramon8351]

Es el Dios de la Lucha, la Perseverancia y el Renacer. Nunca nadie me ha hecho sentir como él en el deporte.

[@amaliwijesundara6377]

Its a beautifully done video where his his trials and triumphs are all shown... he is a wonderful player...

[@bilalattal2707]

Thank you man You are an incredible artist; each time capturing something new and presenting it in a different way.. Yes I think Rafa had the most emotional career with all the injuries and comebacks, all the criticism of his physical style, all the claims that he was finished, all the doping accusations, all the doubts in the early rounds of tournaments, all the tight matches, all the comebacks from the brink of loss, all the impossible passing shots, all the exhausting rallies, all the new creative shots, all the crazy defense, all the brutal power, all the unbeileible top spin, all the matches, all the trophies, all the awards, all the runner up speeches, all the rivalries, all the sportsmanship moments and finally all the wisdom and humility in the press conferences. I wish that someone would summarize Rafa's career in a comprehensive series that I would be able to show to my children and the generations to come. Thank you again, man :) Happy New year

[@lehunterpro]

You're welcome man ! I don't know if a serie on Rafa's career will ever exist but I would give anything to travel in past and relieve these last 20 years for the first time once again. Wish you the best as well man =)

[@kimowilliams7032]

This video is a perfect encapsulation of Rafa’s career - ups, downs, defeats, victories, joy, pain, struggles, and triumphs. Through it all, Rafa has shown the “never say die” determination of a Champion. Rafa is the Fighter, the Spanish Bull, the Legend, the Ultimate Warrior, the King of Clay! I’m honored to be one of his millions of adoring fans and I can’t wait to see him play again! LOVE this humble man so much! VAMOS RAFA 💪🏽🇪🇸🔥♥️👑🙏🏾❤️‍🔥

[@nellybel4560]

Que de. Blessures et un si grand palmarès. Un véritable immense champion .. ❤

[@crinabodea7072]

Legend! Great champion, great man! Go go for New GS! 💪👏🍀

[@6eSet]

Bravo, c'est toujours un peu osé de pas mettre de sound design mais laisser juste la musique qui est parfaitement choisie rend la vidéo poétique. J'arrive pas à croire que Rafa se batte encore, sa dernière danse peut tellement être magnifique 🥺

[@lehunterpro]

Merci bcp mec, disons que c'est surtout parce que l'idée de cette vidéo m'est venue très tard que j'ai pas pu mettre de son d'ambiance mais oui ce choix de musique pouvait clairement me le permettre. Je suis tellement dégouté j'ai pas pu voir un seul de ses 3 matchs à Brisbane, ce match contre Thompson avait l'air d'être dingue d'après le résumé. Beaucoup de positif en tout cas, il aurait pu se retrouver en demie sans perdre un seul set. Quel sport vraiment...

[@mariapilarme]

Vamos Rafa! ❤❤❤

[@oluwafemiolagunju5570]

What this guy has managed to achieve despite an injury plagued career is unbelievable. I just hope he can have an injury free 3 more years to play again at his peak at the highest level.

[@Gornorudnik]

I can name every match from the video🥹

[@shihabr2779]

Nadal is an imotion,inspiration and everything

[@rafagoat575]

Amazing tribute, thank you! Hope you make one about what most likely is going to be Rafa's farewell season! #VamosRafa

[@sannitetisimi9411]

I love the merci at the end

[@mokuroh14]

Man, this made me start tearing up even though I couldn’t understand a word of the song. Amazing tribute

[@andreim.5324]

The moment I saw you posted I got teary eyed. After I watched the video, I am in tears. I cannot wait to see Rafa play again after 1 whole year of waiting. I miss seeing him play so much and I especially miss feeling how I feel when I watch him play. This video is once again, outstanding work, mon ami! The song was an excellent choice, as were the images who tell Rafa's whole history, this amazing 20 years journey we have witnessed unfolding before our eyes. First, how many many injuries have plagued him in his career. For him to have won as much as he did while being constantly in pain and dealing with body issues, is a feat that will not be repeated ever. It's as if the gods of tennis hampered him, so he cam play with the rest of the mortals on par. The fact that I knew where each in every image in this video was from, makes me proud to be a fan of Rafa, the same as I am of Roger. Time for his swan song, for a last through of the dice and I hope it all culminates with one more RG and the Olympic gold again, both in the city that is almost synonymous with Rafa's career, Paris.

[@lehunterpro]

Thanks a lot man, always a pleasure to have your support and to know you appreciate Rafa and Roger as much as I do. I'm so sad because I couldn't watch any of the 3 matches he played in Brisbane, that match against Thompson was already a strong moment of his 2024 season. It should be forbidden to miss any of his matches for what could be his last year. I'm so impatient to see him play on clay and at the French Open like you said, the emotions in Paris if it's his last will be something that gonna make us all cry.

[@indijones4788]

Masterpiece

[@alvaro.m]

He will always be the best, no matter what. Thanks for all the videos man

[@TanNguyen-hw1uu]

So moving...

Thanks man

[@cdauga]

Des points d"émotion ...légendaires, quel voyage, Merci pour ce moment 😉

[@lehunterpro]

Quel voyage tu l'as dit, merci pour ton message 🙂

[@Ilegator]

Wow, just wow. Another masterpiece. Simple concept, but such a beautiful video. Thanks for this Christmas gift. This is one of those videos you wish some day when he retires he watches it and reminisces about these great years.

[@lehunterpro]

Thanks buddy, I've already done this concept for Roger but it still takes a lot of time to put almost 20 years of archives together ^^ I don't know if he'll watch it but this video will mainly help the fans and myself when this day will come.

[@TheVSI]

My word, the choice of song is exquisite

[@fernandosegui1]

Great song GREAT VIDEO!!! GRAT SPORTMAN!!!!

Welcome back Rafa

[@davidbosquette4798]

Thats the real true 🐐 RIGHT THERE ❤

[@salehag7255]

You always make the best tributes. Seeing how many players in this video are retired or aren't on court anymore, it is just astonishing that Rafa is only now saying goodbye. We've had so much of him for so very long, and we are so incredibly lucky. Vamos always ✨

Nadal of 2008 to 2010 best ever...the best

[@lalyrabe]

Hier, le tournoi de Madrid a fait un hommage à Rafa pour son tout dernier match dans ce tournoi. J'était totalement en larmes, voir cette vidéo retraçant toute sa carrière et revivre chaque image comme si c'était hier, ça fait quelque chose. Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo magnifique :')

[@XheraPhine]

This was beautiful, lehunterpro! Thank you!

[@ZeroEmotions.]

Consistency+Never Giving Up+Happy Cry😅= Nadal (King of Clay)

[@antburman]

When a video from you arrives I get excited. I can't wait to watch. It's more than a treat. It's like being part of a special event, of witnessing art that moves the soul. I will watch later. Thank you so much for what you do.

[@lehunterpro]

I really appreciate man, thanks for your constant support. I hope that won't disappoint you.

[@flaviencrozier]

Un nouveau classique à votre collection. Merci pour votre travail ♥️

[@lehunterpro]

Très content que ça vous plaise toujours, merci pour ton message flavien 🙏

[@BananaProtocol]

Wow, you even put fitted the footage with the lyrics

[@jctrenchcoat]

Im crying. Good job

[@midougfasi4482]

Amazing.... Thank you ❤️🙏

[@Jethro14403]

The fact that the song is French is so fitting for the king of clay and Roland Garros/Rafa Nadal Open!

[@goldhornet2015]

My favorite tennis player

[@TheHenMen]

One of your best vids ever, thank you Le

[@benjamindray3048]

Thanks for this amazing piece of work man. Je ne sais pas si tu es français, mais je veux te dire que ta vidéo est un chef d'oeuvre. C'est très rare les vidéos de cette qualité avec une chanson française, un vrai plaisir à regarder, merci!

[@lehunterpro]

Merci à toi l'ami, oui je suis français. Je me suis dis que vu que les plus grands succès de Rafa avaient eu lieu en France une musique avec des paroles en français ferait un beau clin d'oeil selon moi. Content que ça t'ait plû en tout cas.

[@KingRedLion]

If the fate of the universe and life as we know it, hung on the balance of going extinct, and it all depended on one tennis match to save everything and everyone, there's no one I would rather play for us than Rafa Nadal. ¡ V a m o s R A F A!

[@nicolasfohn1761]

Absolutely love your videos! As a Roger fan, I used to think Rafa would break my heart, but looking back, their rivalry is really what made me love this sport. Keep up the good work Lehunterpro 👍

[@lehunterpro]

It's very much appreciated man thanks ! I used to feel the same about Rafa but it's presence was absolutely essential to this sport. I'm sûre that I wouldn't love Federer as much if Rafa didn't existed.

[@robertomatteucci6242]

grazie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nathloir8570]

Vamos rafa ❤

[@JoseGarcia-ht8ms]

👍👍👍

[@malikahmadyaar276]

I wish I liked this video more than one !

[@jesusdociosaez3689]

Para alcanzar la gloria es necesario ser bueno, muy bueno, pero eso no es suficiente. Alcanzar la gloria implica, efectivamente, un don natural y también un trabajo muy duro y prolongado en el tiempo: a eso se le denomina "sacrificio" y el sacrificio también implica muchos momentos malos, en soledad, y muy pocos de éxito. Sólo la perspectiva del paso del tiempo nos hará ver realmente la grandeza de lo conseguido... un lapso en la vida en comparación con ese sacrificio. Rafael Nadal entrará en un reducido grupo de personas que son y serán eternos, ahora y cuando ya no estén.

[@ahtmgog2240]

Very nice video and very nice song even I don't understand the lyrics 😂 😊

[@angerisdiscipline3913]

All great things come to an end . 20 years were amazing federer nadal and djokovic got us really hooked in tennis

[@SantiagoBalparda]

Wow

[@adriennebrown3778]

I love that man

[@user-co8mr9qp6p]

Rafa (e Roger)Splendido, splendidi...🤝❤️🎾 20 anni di insegnamento con i miei bimbi, parlandogli della loro rivalita'- amicizia. Un "sogno" per come la hanno vissuta in ogni ambito della loro carriera e vita. Grazie di tutto cuore❤️ per questo bellissimo video!👏👏👏Gian Luca ex Pro Tennis,Italia.🎾🌄🤗

[@kwekuminta6410]

This music

[@phuhauo9864]

Can u make video about thime 😢 it’s so sad to see him now

[@jaimerincon6436]

Can you do something for Tomas Berdych? Please

[@varunbhati2178]

I knw Djokovic is greatest player but this man is not that far behind...he is one of the great legends ever born on Tennis Field and His RG record is going to be the biggest ever record made by any athlete in any sport ever...

[@araka3279]

Pour Nadal, ce n'est pas le mental qui manque. Il pourrait encore jouer longtemps. C'est trop de blessures à son corps, sinon il aurait gagné le tournoi de Brisbane atp 250 très facilement. C'est mon avis

[@ahtmgog2240]

Exactly!! If only Rafa's body is 100% healthy, pretty sure he got 30 GS... and we surely enjoyed the race between him and Novak.

[@marklo3739]

Song sucks
