Beyond belief. One of his greatest slam wins. By far

[radhikajamwal]

Nadal on Roland Garrros is a thing of beauty ✨ Can never get tired of watching him

[rafatony]

Rafael Nadal may not end up with the Grand Slam record but he has to be viewed as the greatest competitor on a tennis court. Without doubt second to none. 14 French Open titles in 17 attempts 112 match wins to 3. That has to be one of the greatest sporting achievements of all time. I agree with the sentiment it is still totally beyond belief. It’s just incredible to consider the enormity of such an achievement. All those injuries could not dim the sheer will of greatness within.

I remember watching rafa vs zverev. That level of tennis was just unbelievable. Ashame Sascha got injured.
RG without rafa ist just like another masters 1000 for me

[charlesmasanso]

The emotion after he converted championship point... Get well soon Rafa, we need you back.

Rafa’s top level in clay is just incredible to watch. When he’s playing his best, no one in the world can touch him. Miss him this year 🐂🐐

[samkid]

13:59 that racket throw from rafa landed perfectly in upright position

[valdencorr]

What Nadal does with his wrist is INSANE, look at his technique on some of the shots, it is ALL wrist work, shots no one even tries he routinely makes. Genius.

[ssmith]

We want you back Rafa. Praying for you to recover from your injuries. Roland Garros will not be the same without you. We are going to miss your electric actions. Very enjoyable. You are a delightful to watch! Love you Rafa!

Crazy how he has played so late into life and is still the best clay courter ever, and one of the best players ever. Hope to see him back soon. Also, nice touch stitching every point of the final game together👍

Rafa's achievements at Roland Garros are probably invincible and will never be beaten. His feats at Paris are so great that it often overshadows his career outside clay and people think he is an average player outside clay. The guy has 6 Grand Slams, 10 Hard Court Masters Titles and an Olympic Gold Medal on hard courts. Not enough? He is a 2-time Wimbledon champion and a 1-time Queen's Champion. Even if a surface named "clay" did not even exist, Rafa Nadal would still have had an absolutely outrageous career and would still be among the best players of all time. Respect, Rafa; we love you, and we will always love you.

if my life is depending on 1 match, it will just be Rafa in RG final. 100% win rate

[GodTennis]

Nadal v Zverev would have been match of the year

[Samsonsleeky]

Brutal tennis from the Mallorcan...
Opponents can only hold on for as much as they can but ultimately succumb to the immense brilliance of the finest clay court individual to ever grace the sports....

Vamos

[delevadova]

I don’t understand why fans dig on the big 3 and blah blah endless goat debate. Really its whatever you believe defines greatness across eras and records !! However how can any true tennis fan argue Nadal’s competitive greatness ??

[wellabonneau.goodjob..salu]

NADAL IS MY MOST FAV. TENNIS PLAYER..SO HUMBLE…GOD BLESS HIM..HE BRINGS MAGIC TO THE GAME OF TENNIS..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[jmilne]

Federer ONLY got 8 Wimbledon titles from his 12 finals, Novak got 10 from 10 at AO final but they both pale in comparison to Rafa's 14 from 14 in finals and he bagelled both of them in the final as well...Just mind boggling.. Even more, when he lost to Soderling in 2009 he had tendonitis in both knees which forced him to miss defending his Wimbledon Crown, His 1st loss to Novak was coming back from long term injury & when he lost in 2021 he was carrying an ankle issue which forced him off the court for 6 months... Just shows how insane his record really is....

[proenzaschouler]

The French Open this year is really the FO! 14 times it was really the Nadal Open invitations with everybody invited to have a chance to hold the runner up trophy. Get well soon Rafa ❤
