For me is the most inspiring athlete I have ever known. All his career full of troubles,injuries but he never gave up. And came back to fight over and over again. Love you Rafa with all my ❤
Almost 38 years old and operations and still so passionate for his sport! Vamos Rafa! Love you Rafa 🎾♥
And he said Novak was more obsessed than him.
@@JAM-fm8lthe never said it like that but its actually true. He IS more obsessed.
@marithanordin920 The thing he has nothing to prove because he will go down second best players in the history of tennis. But what he achieved by playing virtually on one leg is very admirable . No one will ever match his intensity and obsseiveness.
Best wishes to Rafa. Vamos! 🎾🔥
Listening to this video makes me sad. But as Rafa says, things can change quickly in sport. Hopefully Rafa will regain better health, and be able to compete at a high level once more.
The guy had a debilitating foot deformity ( Mueller Weiis ) and played through it over the years that put undue strain on his knees and hips. But still he kept going on till 37. Those who are old enough to remember that all pundits had predicted he will retire by the time he is 28 or 29. It's a MIRACLE he has played till now.
Keep it up rafa! We are with you!
NEVER GIVE UP❕NEVER SURRENDER❕VAMOS RAFA❕🏆🎾💪🏼❤ #GOAT
Rafa is such an endearing and honest person. He's very cautious, which is understandable, but I sincerely hope he will be able to say goodbye on court at all his chosen tournaments as he wants to.
Rafa just loves the sport and loves to compete. With all the injuries he has had to deal with any other player would have retired by now. I hope Rafa does well this week and that his body holds up.
He should have done the same. It’s kinda sad to see him holding on so much.
@@arvpreenja3090 I agree with you but it is hard for Rafa to retire because he loves to compete so much.
He was probably more obsessed than Fed and Joker in trying to be the GOAT. And GOAT he was until Joker passed him became GOAT instead.
@@JAM-fm8lt The goat debate is different for everybody. I was having a live chat on a tennis channel yesterday and this guy was telling me that Borg is the goat. I think a lot of times that people's favorite players become their goats. But I agree with you that Novak is the goat based on the numbers.
@user-hd5ee2rc6g it shouldn't be different for everybody. In sport's it's very simple, best, or GOAT has, always was and always will be defined by winning numbers, not some stupid people preferences. Borg was GOAT before Sampras passed him. Fed was GOAT until Nadal passed him, Nadal was GOAT until Joker passed him. Like him or not, Joker will remain GOAT until someone passes him. We may have to wait another 100 years or more, if it happens at all. I can't see any one winnings 20 GS let alone passing Nadal's 22. Jokers 24 GS might be untouchable, just like Margaret courts GS tally.
I shudder to think of what Rafa's pain threshold must be. As a Roger fan who hugely admires all the big 3, it would be lovely to see Rafa to give one final masterclass at Roland Garros. He doesn't seem optimistic at the moment, but I hope that changes in the next month.

Rafa you can do it. You've got one more Grand Slam in you. Roland Garros is a perfect way to retire. Vamos.
Very nice soul... i wish you the best, dear Rafa !!!
You have to love Rafa….. what a man 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I really admire Rafa.. good tennis hero!!
Tennis will miss Rafa so much and he is the GOAT-on clay!
The King of clay will win Roland Garros one more time. Perfect way to ride into the sunset.
vamos rafa
Vamo' Rafa... Vamo
Whatever injury you have Rafa, it hurts many fans and i m not exception.
Force et Courage 💪 💪
Stupendous
"For me it is important that I will be on court tomorrow". Yeah ... that's it!
rafa's polo t-shirt near flawless. so good. is it sold in nike stores?
What a role kodel
He can fuel his competitive spirit in another field. He's a pretty good golfer as well...
Vamos Rafa!!!!!!!!!
You will be missed so much Rafa. Good luck and God Bless in all you do in your future
I really like to see rafa play i wish he could win roland garros one more time i feel like if rafa is fully fit no one can beat him at roland garros but that is not the case sometimes you want to play a sport so bad but your body is saying different thngs i feel sad fo rafa but such is life we cant stay young forever
I would soooo love to see him win RG and even overtake Novak, but as an ex multiple sports player, gymnast and acrobat, I'm 61 and crippled - literally He has a young son to enjoy bringing up. I worry about him carrying on to the detriment of hos long term health. His last attempt broke my heart
If Anyone irrespective of their profession, and nationality can cultivate even half of Rafa's mental strength and humility, they'll have a fulfilling and successful life. Its been a pivelege growing up watching Rafa
forget playing vs djoko, what about alcaraz, hes a monster too on clay.
Rafael Nadal du är en underbar och smartaste spelaren genom tiderna du är bästa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👑💐
Jawohl Altmaier 😊👍🇩🇪
RAFA is THE TRUE G.O.A.T. 🎾🏆❕💪🏼 Love you Rafa❤️🥹✨
naah. He is your feelings GOAT
🤡
He is your favorite but he is not the goat. Don't forget
He truly is and he's got one more Grand Slam in him. Roland Garros is the perfect way to retire. He doesn't need to play anymore after that.
@@jonfreeman9682 he is not.. You guys and your delusions are cute. 🤗 but I wholeheartedly wish him one more RG. He is putting in a lot of effort into it and olympics. He doesn't want Novak to win the gold in his backyard. Believe me he will take injections, play with iron leg and hip, whatever... He will be obsessed to not let Novak win Olympic gold in phillipe chatrier.
Please don't retire
Vamos Rafa
❤❤❤RAFA NADAL ❤❤❤
Jawohl Maroszan 😊👍
Rafa is also a nice player
Rafa is not only an amazing athlete, he is also a wonder humble human being. ❤
Wonderful
Well, after more than 20 years at the top and 38 years of age the end is for this tennis carreer is of course very near. At that age you cannot push yourself like a 25 year old. Vamos Rafa.
Do we know exactly what injuries Rafa is currently dealing with?
he is still believing in equalize of even break the grandslam-record from Djokovic and that is really to admire.
He has beaten Joker as no way Joker can match his Roland Garros Grand Slams.
If he's saying that he's happy to able to be on court playing again,I definitely sure he's not thinking about break any records,the only one that care about numbers more than anything is Djokovic,it always has been,it's all he have to be remember,because he knows he will never be loved as Federer and Nadal worldwide.
@@shadowagent6051 haha lol. So the 2 others dont care about being the best ever in their sport? Being that close and not being it, most hurt.
@@hyphorsehe keeps talking about enjoying but YOU, with your mind reading skills, know what is really in his head of course
@@grosboxon3445 Always something we can agree on, that Djoker is the best ever in the sport :)
I just want him to be happy, and healthy enough to play with his kid rather than limping around when he’s 45.
Play or don.t play but is bored all the time iam bad , i am old , my health is not good. Be water my friend!!
Bla bla bla😅😅😅
It's kind of sad to see Great champions play a few more tours for some millions..just like Federer.. but I guess I would have done the same..
Some really softball questions. They are dancing around the issue about his retirement.
He says this is his last hoorah. But he's just going tournament by tournament see if his body holds out.
He's trying for one more Grand Slam but might not make it.
Love Rafas coming back trying to be competitive sorry I’m SORRY guys I’m mean journalist s please don’t ask stupid questions again and again so redicilous to hear that
I just don't understand him. He says in the press conference that he is still not 100 percent ready. Has he still not recovered from the stomach muscle injury, that is, the injury is not yet healed, or is the problem the lack of matches, that is, he needs more matches since he has played only two since the beginning of the year, so he is not 100 percent ready.
It depends on the results. If he wins he has recovered, if he loses injury is still there. That's it, it's simple and pls don't ask such simple questions going forward. 🙏
He is finished. Unfortunately fatger time and his obsession to become GOAT caught up with him.
@@JAM-fm8ltwe all know whos the most obsessed player in this sport😂
Rafa still believes he can catch up with djoker in slams & thats why he is still playing. He is gonna be active playing here & there until djoker retires or djoker increase the slam gap by 4 -5 . He's now trying everything to get fit & if not ,he will never play RG to keep his spectacular record intact.
Wtf. I'm sure he doesn't believe this.
Ones again Rafael take the godmod please
Novak 🐐!
goodbye to rafas hair
I still feels Nadal can win 2 or 3 more Grand Slams.
In your dreams
LOL! In his and in your dreams.
Impossible😂 not even 1 GS won't happen
Just proves time and again that he was more obsessive than the other 2. No way in the world he will catch up to GOAT Joker.
sorry but these guys who have surgery should just retire. For heavens sake look at Theim, world number one force on clay and hard. Loses to Kokkinakis on clay in qualifying, what could be worse than that. Del Potro never able to play for a month before "needing" more surgery and never able to play. Federer, never even able to play a professional tournament after surgery and more than 12 months recover and more months rehab. Murray, ok did the best of anyone to have major surgery but still i dont think hes gone past third round which he would easily play semi finals every single week. Surgery is unatural and very painful on the body. you lose all muscle mass on that area, (it does come back) but that part of the body is never the same.
You are so wrong in this post. I work at this on a daily basis and you are trying to simplfy something that has many aspects to it.
Clay court merchant.
Надаль сиди дома 😊
HES TOO OLD 😢 OUT IN THE FIRST ROUND
He’ll be out third round
Let him win the first 2 rounds first.
he is the King of Kings!!!! Not Novak!♈️⛎♏️🅾️💲✊✊✊✊✊✊🇪🇸👑👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👑 Rafa ❤❤❤❤‼️🇪🇸✔️🇪🇸✔️☺️☺️☺️
Goat of clay and one of the top greatest... But for me samoras.agasssi becker were bettern
They are all legends in their time. But the big 4 was truly special.
@@jonfreeman9682 I agree with you absolutely you mean Murray. But I think roddick Agassi and Sampras and even lendl.better than Andy Murray. I think wawrinka and Murray same but under these great names Sampras Agassi Federer lendl mcenroe Borg.
Very wrong and disrespecful
@@hih5868 yes very disrespectful to say Murray is better than those who won more slams Agassi above 5 gslams Becker edberg Borg mcenroe Sampras .. Murray more like roddick wawrinka in the grand slams. Sampras would have goated anyone on grass. Is very disrespectful how everyone puts them down as of they didn't accomplish anything. Big three not better than Sampras or Agassi and they know it themselves. Game.has changed and everyone has been great on their time. Murray is great but please never compare.him.to.sampras.or Agassi .
@@chiloandchepo to say Becker , Sampras an others are better than Nadal is not true. Only Djokovic can say that
Stop ur blah blah. U are done
Because you say so? 😂 Yes sir! Lmao
The 💉 put him down. Let's not bullsh!t ourselves here.
Nadal should not force this year RG. He should fix his body properly and take as much time as he needs. He can play well beyond 2024. I think his last year will be 2028.
Gotta feel bad for Na-dull fans they have to tolerate his english🤣🤣outside tennis he's as dull a person can be.
Not true. He's sharp and witty in English but even better in Spanish. He just received a the sportsman award and gave a great speech.
Such a foolish comment lol
@@Mythos189 exactly what I say whenever Nadal speaks.
@@virat5828 well all you do is being toxic man nothing more :)
Apart from few most tennis players are uneducated and closed mind. And it shows when they speak.
bro doesn't even know what he's saying half the time
He's playing it by ear. Can't give definitive answers on health as he's not sure he can make it but would love to win one more Grand Slam. Roland Garros is his best shot. All his peers have retired and he knows his time is up.
more like he's hedging his statements because he knows that things can change quickly and you're too dense to understand?
@@jonfreeman9682 no I meant like his answers to the questions aren't comprensible English lol. it's like he starts the sentence and doesn't know what words to use
@@rusty935 You should hear his press conference 20 years ago he gives the same answer to every question and often seems he doesn't even understand the question. He even apologized for his limited vocabulary. His English has improved alot since then. If I'm not mistaken I think Federer can speak 3 language and Noles can speak 5 languages and pretty fluent too.
@@jonfreeman9682 oh yeah I've seen those lol, it's just crazy how even after 20 years his English has stayed the same
