38 Rafael Nadal Shots That Defied Science 🧬

[@stephaniemathias3588]

G.O.A.T. No disrespect to any other player, but no-one brings the excitement to the court like Rafa, and no-one hits winers like the great Rafa ♥️🇪🇦👑💪🎾🐐

[@wimzswimz9843]

But, Djokovic es el ganador while Nadal es el segundo

[@peace4myheart]

Definitely a trip down memory lane for me. Thank you, Rafa.

[@Rafa_RG]

Gracias Rafa for every year on tour and Vamos Rafa !!!!!!

the one against stephanek is legendary

[@tetecar6366]

Love Rafa's shy smile at 5:10 after his fantastic winner against del Potro

[@bbzprofessor2288]

When Nadal was on his prime he was unstoppable.

[@Leomerya12]

He's not defying science, he's using it better than everyone else.

[@nelson8r]

Not just Science, but probability: In 2009, experts said he would NEVER win the USO… he proceeds to win it 4 times! At AO ‘22, he was given a 4-27% of winning the Final…. He does it by coming back from 2 sets down & saving 3 break points!

Happy Birthday Rafa... Wish u all the happiness u ve created for us all while playing ur magic games /shots during ur alllll years n courts 🎉we Love Tennis & u for ever ❤

WHEN THE SPORT BECOMES ART < RAFAEL NADAL! VAMOOOOOOSSS!

[@yussepig6629]

The fact is, when it comes to the big stage Rafa is GOAT as he leads Novak 11-7 and Federer 10-4. Novak is better in smaller tournaments that are best of 3. In addition, Nadal win the career Golden Slam much younger than Agassi and Novak . And he won 5 Davis Cup and 2 Olympic medals. And he did it all through a career of absence through injury. Those stats alone make Nadal clear GOAT! And that’s before you even look at the astonishing magical shots and emotion Nadal brings to the court.

[@wimzswimz9843]

Djokovic es el ganador while Nadal es el segundo. Moreover Nadal wasted his points as much 7X1,500 = 10,500 points cuz he never won ATP Finals

[@den_525]

That's why Rafa is the GOAT!

All respect to Novak and Roger who are also goats, but Rafa is the greatest of all time.

[@James_casuloro]

100 percent agree, stats don’t matter… only opinions do 😂🤡

[@skillz1557]

Facts. Djokovic only started dominating when Roger and Rafa got old and especially Rafa who been injured almost his whole career. Fedal in their prime was playing against big tennis players. Not like in todays era, weak era

[@dragndorf9]

@@skillz1557 Fed and Rafa put tennis on the map - millions (myself included) started watching tennis because of those 2. Djokovic might be the more consistent player and is likely to go down as the GOAT, but being the GOAT in tennis wouldn't mean nearly as much if it wasn't for Fedal's historic rivalry.

[@philippebaaklini4955]

@@James_casuloroif you mean stats that Novak accumulated post 2011, when Rafa literally spent half the time off-tour, sure

All the people who are fedal fans have to understand a rivalry can’t be the greatest player of all time, sure they had the best rivalry ever in history but that isn’t the same as the greatest player

Not sure how many Rafa fans do it, for the last 17 years not a day has passed without searching Rafa Nadal in google. Though the king has moved on to become a Legend I still google him. For me Rafa is an emotion. Emotion that signifies fighting till the last breadth for what you love. 😢 He is undoubtedly one of the greatest sporting legends this era has produced

[@EvaRinaldi-k8d]

Il mio Rafa è grandioso ♥️

[@superjarri]

When you see him nowadays, it's easy to forget why does he have 22GS and it's one of the best tennis players in history. Nadal is the most unique player of the big three and most probably we won't see anything close to him ever again.

[@AkshanshShukla-xi3yd]

where’s the iconic rafa shot against federer from AO 2012 semi-final? Seeing the shots included in the video, that one definitely should had been included as one of his best shots of his career.

@victormanuelbustamantealva6803 nadal is the goat His prime got sandwiched between Fed’s and Djoko’s, that’s why he couldn’t ever statpad

[@tennis-man22]

@victormanuelbustamantealva6803 how? 🤣🤣 how does that make sense roflmao? All I said is Roger scavenged in the weak era during prime, and Novak is scavenging now. And Rafa's peak just happened to be IN BETWEEN the other two's prime, hence Nadal never got to scavenge in a weak era. Nadal always had it tough even during his prime, while Novak and Roger got to scavenge titles in the late and early part of their careers respectively. How come you reached the conclusion that Rafa is below them both is beyond me 🤣

[@Mythos189]

​​@victormanuelbustamantealva6803 Nadal is 2nd greatest by stats

[@lleytonelliott8786]

@victormanuelbustamantealva6803thats not what they’re saying at all, you’re being intentionally dense. Nadal DID win as much (if not more) as the other two during his prime, but he never got to add to that goal with a weaker era. That combined with his utter, undisputed dominance on clay makes him the goat. Imagine if there were two clay majors.

[@utkarshdeshmukh6414]

Rafa realised it long time ago that only a fool would approach the net on his forehand side. So covered his backhand side everytime an opponent approached the net and simply mastered the passing shots dtl or cross court from his backhand. Simply incredible!❤

[@zlomeny]

OH come ON rafa naDAL

I know. He doesn’t play like this anymore though. All those crazy impossible shots. I’ll like him to watch this to get that juice for the few matches left. We need to see him go out in a blaze!!!
