He is so shy and awesome!!

[@sandeshpandit9976]

You should see him on court.. ferocious and awesome

[@saurabhpatel8908]

@@sandeshpandit9976 He is fantastic player to watch on court and a fighter .

[@cedrahelsheikh6724]

Shy?😅have u ever seen him play or talk

[@vamosama]

So handsome,nice and talented. we see him here in Rome every year and he's one of those players who always stops with fans for pics and autographs even when he's lost a match.

[@2CSST2]

When I went to Rome, no girl asked for my autograph and pics... :(

[@0808sumire]

gosh! he's so handsome!

[@Imani_AM]

I know, right?? Ages 11-14 when I was watching tennis, I had the BIGGEST crush on him ♥

[@nicolavictor7540]

Letterman's interview was so poor he was rude, Rafa Nadal so polite and good sport.

[@sarzz8494]

You can see a difference in the culture of Europe to America. They are so polite and respectful. The morels are different

[@samm1809]

Do they not have late night talk show goofballs in Spain?

[@tutifrutisfunny]

pretty sure she was talking about Nadal, not Letterman

[@Jack00100]

Sarz z The morals are so different. Generalizing an entire country just so you can make people seem like degenerates. SMH.

[@sarzz8494]

+Flippin Pancakes yes I was talking about Raffa

[@sarzz8494]

+Blizzard I never said that you did

[@Janette388]

His skin color is soooo beautiful👌😍

[@davidacosta9158]

He is just tan, that is not his real skin color

[@babilabub]

All these years of following Rafa, I had no clue he’s ever on US late talk show. Holy moly !

[@iconoclancy]

Why does Letterman bother asking questions if he's just going to ignore and/or interrupt Nadal anyway? Learn to listen, David.

[@ubermensch826]

letterman has to be one of the hardest late night interviews for a non english speaker. his speech patterns and brand of humor is so american that it can be hard to follow (as opposed to like, a conan or a kimmel). big ups to nadal

[@willkittwk]

ubermensch826 Letterman does Midwest cornball. flyover country gets him. though I think politics wise he's a flaming liberal. he's a paradox he's a flaming liberal in a flaming liberal city who always comes off as a hick from the Midwest. go figure

[@Pablo_Caja]

I don't think that. He spoke about Mallorca and Menorca where's from Nadal. And Manolo Horantes that is a old player from Spain. He tried to speak about Nadal's world. It's a very good interview.

[@noelleslie6665]

Rafa is so sensible and had good humour.even at 25.. Wow

[@lambsquad_9047]

They didn't talk about his book.

[@raazs35]

+Lambsquad_90 letter man is a shitty interviewer

[@daphenaxa]

rafa is so nice

[@kathie396]

he is soooooo nice omg I love him. Vamos amor

[@jermaineonealnumber7]

Read his book, loved it!

[@mernaghobrial6750]

He didn't want to sit down till David sit first

[@athanasiabaxevani8562]

He is so sweet :3 aw

[@pikkuadi]

Asks a professional athlete how do you stay in shape. Move along nothing to see here.

[@cleodmr1]

What a sweetheart Rafa is. Nice interview.

[@Knappa22]

Shockingly bad interview technique. Ok it's known that Rafa's English is a little hindered but you get the feeling here that the interviewer is so worried Rafa might dry up he just asks one boring quick-fire question after another. He should have relaxed and allowed time for a conversation to develop and for Rafa to find something he could expand on.. This Letterman seems to be more interested in being a smart-arse than in listening to the guest's responses.

[@victoriachubb572]

Very poor interview technique. Was the audience three?!!!

[@amywali61]

el deportista español mas querido en el mundo ahora,,,rafa es n1

[@blancaandrovic6406]

Amazing Rafa Nadal !!!

[@mikaelhagstrom9381]

God 😇💓💪🙏!! Bless David Letterman 👍 !!' And Rafael Nadal 👍 !! Two living Legend 's 💪💓🙆👍!!!

[@leozanetti9656]

dumb questions... thank god i'm from europe

[@dylanbohuchot4201]

+leo zanetti nigga what lol

[@Rerp2000]

+leo zanetti this isn't a SERIOUS sport interview....Dave Letterman is a comedian whose humor you do not understand because you're an idiot...stay in Europe for your own little brain

[@MM-bx1ei]

it's dumb questions for a talk show. they didn't even talk about his book. dave is an ignorant old school talk show host not a comedian. i understand he's beloved in the states but his ignorance and low quality product seems so american that europeans find that cringeworthy as i do too. ps: am european

[@vosharap]

It was just an awkward overall interview. Most Americans don't know about tennis, much less about Rafael Nadal unfortunately. A lot of tennis terms that they don't understand.

[@christinaharrell2358]

vosharap I’m America and I know a lot about tennis Your very bias

[@ofataina2491]

I loveeeee teinnes its so cool

[@morkmindy5693]

Rafael Nadal AND Stewart Copeland on the SAME NIGHT!?!?!? Man, I wish I was there!!!!! ; (

[@joei2625]

Lol, chris evert reference was hilarious and then rafa's reaction, "you like"

[@adrianaochoa1697]

Joe I I didn’t understand it :/

[@Pablo_Caja]

Chris evert was so sexy. And letterman maybe was falling in love with Chris Ever. He's jealous of Nadal because he know Chris in person. The joke is about that.

[@adrianaochoa1697]

Pablo Caja Thanks :)

[@jackmcmorrow1985]

As a fan of RAfael Nadal what a painful interview to watch. Letterman is horribly clueless and just the WORST interviewer. Rafa handles it all so well though. class through and through. i would have paid a million dollars to have been able to have the privilege to interview Rafa. THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!

[@-Stinky_Pinky]

"What does this mean? Babolat?" LMAO!!!

[@lindaarnold5648]

God doesn't Letterman like the sound of his own voice...not at all interested in what Rafa had to say ..just kept asking stupid questions and not even waiting for an answer!!!...Rafa is way to handsome and sweet ..shy..totally intoxicating

[@nkatekomaswanganyi6891]

Speaking good English does not win him grand slams

[@BazookaIke]

Letterman is so scatterbrained. He asks questions, then interrupts with a new question before you can answer the first one.

[@jakelover1731]

Pretty tough for non-native speakers.

[@tylerdurden5555555]

FFS.. Letterman really annoys me as an interviewer.. He just asks so many stupid questions. Anybody that would care about how many matches you need to win to win a grand slam would know the answer already.

[@bronwynevans4122]

David Letterman, who I grew up loving (and I'm 50), is a terrible interviewer. He should have retired long ago.

[@aitortilla5128]

I wish he was today in such a good shape as he was then.

[@henryj8363]

+Aitor Tilla what do you mean?

[@tazinnur7334]

+james borrell He's not in a very good form. Haven't won any major this year.

[@henryj8363]

Leia Woakes his legs are fucked. Plus nobody is scared of him anymore so they play better against him.

[@aitortilla5128]

When he started winning majors many people said his knees would be a problem in the future. They weren't wrong. He has a very physical game as opposed to Federer, for instance. Hence the key.

[@passion4tennis8]

yeah it would really suck to be #5 in the world, at nearly 30 years old. thank goodness I, (and ALL of those who have written Rafa off) have never stooped so low and failed so miserably! i mean fuck, if i had 4 people on the planet better than me, at nearly 30, i would have waterboarded myself 30 times over! total failure. all washed up.

[@laurinahelendefretes4079]

Rafa & Masha are my favorite male & female tennis player. So funny when Masha told to her fan that Rafa is not her type for dating :))

[@kjbennie9245]

Hahaa well whe Is a bit taller than him 🤣

[@virenderkumarsingh5405]

love u nadallllllllllllllllllllllllll

[@mikaelhagstrom9381]

Greay Guy 🙏👍

[@ryanveyr9195]

Best ever.

[@rogerdat45]

Rafa looks a little like a tom cruise

[@jaimeeclair8999]

+rogerdat45 yes he does.

[@neel2able]

was gonna say that , they are similarities

[@JeliOra]

Adorable

[@GiuseppeCivitella-go5ih]

Rafa 👍

[@NosotrosMusica]

he really asked the meaning of Babollat??? hahah... OMG

[@patrickhogan4569]

Literally Fez

[@akhmadwicaksono9003]

Ya, ya. His English is still better than mine. Mine is Malangese English.

[@vulkanosaure]

really annoying, i expected much from that interview

[@mookiebomber]

Woah, watching this now that he's won 22 clicks different

[@bethmcalpine9741]

When was this... must have been at least 4 years ago.

[@stevem842]

+Beth McAlpine I didn't see this interview when it aired, but since it was uploaded in 2011, and Letterman referred to him as the US Open defending champion with the Open starting soon, it would had to have been in late August of 2011. Since he won his first title there in 2010

[@carlsong6438]

The combined awkwardness is too much for me

[@stevem842]

+carlsong643 English isn't Rafa's first language, and although he can speak it, he never appears totally comfortable doing so, so it's a given that he was going to be a little awkward during this interview. He comes off as much more confident when speaking Spanish. Letterman obviously knew this, so he had to keep the questions/conversation simpler than he would've done with someone that spoke English fluently

[@carlsong6438]

Steve Em actually, I know this! Funny how that works. I love Rafa, and I realize that it's his second language, but that still doesn't reduce the awkwardness. But thanks for the feedback. Very helpful

[@stevem842]

carlsong643 Oh I agree with you, it was a very awkward interview, almost painfully so. I just figured I'd give my opinion on why

[@asianbomb47]

u dont get cramps rafa? really? lol XDD

[@theshow4245]

[@VARedevil19]

Didn't know he's been here😂

[@AI-zo7gx]

Everyone in the comment section acting like a pro interview director, jeez stfu the interview was enjoyable and entertaining.

[@willkittwk]

Abdallah Ismail KZbin makes everyone an authority on everything. omniscience is great.

[@dinoc734]

wheres ashton Kutcher ?

[@kasraahmadi8885]

dude let the guy speak.....

[@adamshaheen1277]

supreme levels of shyness

[@sahilsiddharth6386]

Does this Letterman guy even know WHO HE'S TALKING TO WTF :(

[@luizashabetnick8059]

im so sorry, Rafa..for all the cringe you had to endure..feeling secondhand embarassed from all these meanningless questions, that photo and that interviewer who clearly is not into tennis and doesnt really care about you as a person. Rafa, you a kind hearted, humble, smart, funny and beautiful soul, all of those questions about being no1\beating smbd\who win\who lose were unfortunately superficious...tennis is not really about it. i want to see your play, your skills, your talent, your passion. if a game was intense and interesting to analyze, that's enough for me.

[@hanasdm]

HE KEEPS INTERRUPTING HIM WHAT IS THIS INTERVIEW EVEN FOR IF HE’S NOT GONNA LET HIM TALK

[@mpa1931]

When Rafa had hair

[@Nicool333]

Sometimes it's better of he is not there... 5:19

[@_ines....]

Que tal si le dejas hablar

[@jayap3557]

This american guy is objecting to a young sportsman posing for the camera - for an ad... what is his problem...? people who looked at Rafa in that ad seemed to find him great in it...but this american elder mocks him for that...funny strange... Rafa loves his island...life in it... the way he talks about it...it seems like a paradise... :-) The young man seems much more grounded than the old man...what a shame...his experience has not stood him in good stead...does not even acknowledge the sporting greatness achieved by Rafa... in this interview he was just 24...

[@vladimirpanin8025]

k

[@i--hate--life]

Hmmm he speaks English

[@eduard6969]

His English is quite bad for someone that spends most of time abroad... That tells that he doesn´t mingle with the locals when he travels... He's still a great guy!

[@bigpoppa3020]

He was slaughtered this season.

[@esquibelle]

Injuries - he's 30 now Babby

[@arvindgururaj4907]

Well he's made a great comeback. Dominated this season.

[@pericocornejo2221]

WORST INTERVIEW EVER MY GOSH

[@Chrhab]

David hardly let him finish his sentences. Terrible interview style here :(

[@chodmen1]

he does not speak English at all...

[@rs3tuber425]

He has 21 grand slams and on that interview he was speaking English.

[@lilyagevorkian1756]

I just don’t get it, some people love being negative and hypercritical. He does speak English
