Nadal's Four-year French Open Reign Ends

[kumar01234]

hopefully solderling will win a grand slam soon or he will be another nalbandian, mark philippousis, and such.

[bamibalboy]

yeah... soderlings"booming" forehand. lol

[BBH101]

Vamos Rafa!!!! No 1 as of today.

[MrFantines]

I LOVE ROBIN SÖDERLING WHO WON OVER FEDERER!!

[Nyzzeh]

He didn't lose to that loser called Soderling (like a zergling), he lost to his injury.

[666CaoCao]

He just needs to adjust his schedule and play less tournaments like Serena Williams does. Forza Nadal !

[llllllllllllllllI]

LOVED IT!!! Robin: xoxoxox! Thank Q.

[almondavid]

stop hating on Nadal, hate on him when your better than him you sore losers!

[Nick410s]

Federer was looking to break, not tie, Sampras' grand slam record at Roland Garros in 2009.

[Currymastuh]

@Nick410s no at the time he had 13 GS titles

come wimbledon following his win at RG, federer was looking to break the record

[Nick410s]

@Currymastuh

You are right. Roland Garros 09 was 14, Wimbledon 09 was 15, and Australian Open 2010 was 16.  My bad.

[househeadericmd]

soderling deserved this win!!!

[as1r2]

Fy fan du är dum i huvet hur kan du heja på en spansk före en svensk om du bor i Sverige jävla cp säger jag bara kör upp rafas racket i röven

[JazzMJFAN]

i haaaaaaaaaate Robin Söderling! and i live in Sweden!

VAMOS RAFA! <3

[TheSicou]

I don't believe you...

[JazzMJFAN]

@TheSicou

hahah well believe me.. lol

HATE ROBIN!

VAMOS RAFA! <3

[esquibelle]

(: );

Soderling win never win a grand slam.

He's a great tennis player fore sure.

This was a such fluke

Good luck Robin Best on to you and your career.

You will never be a Rafa.

[Sonic2710]

seriously nadal fans are starting to seem retarded. Whenever Soderling defeats or even Federer at Madrid defeated him, it's always fucking injuries. You stick by this right? Then this will give you a sight on how aggrieving Nadal's career will soon be! NOT to mention that Soderling just beat him a few weeks ago! 15 GRAND SLAMS AND COUNTING FTW!

[TheHalfFinn]

@Sonic2710 dude, your english doesn´t make any sense at all :-)

[xjedimindx]

@Thehlaffinn

Why even care about his english, you know what he was saying.. You doesnt´t make any sense at all^^

[TheHalfFinn]

LOL no i don't

[vlovesrafa]

I am concerned about Rafa's health as well.If he can stay healthy he can regain the top spot.If not,he's in alot of trouble because of his style of play.I hope he gets and stays well. I love him.He is my absolute favorite of all time and SO SEXY.

[fuzfighter]

I think Nadal will have to change his playstyle in order to extend his career. I've already seen signs of this, in Usopen he came up to the net more than he has in the past, mixing up his game. He has to try and shorten the rallys at least on fast surfaces, otherwise his body will take alot of punishment and he could get lots of injuries. I actually like Nadal as a player, I would have wanted to see him in the finals in Usopen against Federer.

By the way, go Soderling! Definitely top 10 soon!

[ElectricalCloud]

@fuzfighter and thats why Rafa did! :D

[slayyyyn]

nadal is guna have more injuries in the future because the way he plays. its not unlucky and so dunno how many more slams nadal will win now. roger may win few more still tho .

[rokapab]

Ya nadal esta acabado... Solo juega porque el dictador de su tio se lo impone, porque él ya no da para mas...

[manuelklass]

la verdad no se que estas hablando porque primero, nadal es muy joven todavia como para retirarse, segundo, si piensas que esta acabado porque empezo a perder es por la lesion que sufrio.

[Timmonsec]

omg nadal sucks so much ass... soderling played great...

[etuc918]

this is the start of nadal's end

[manuelklass]

???

[Goldorak6]

Nadal is finished, he'll never win another Grand Slam again, he'll be forced to retire in two years at most.

[manuelklass]

???

[Goldorak6]

When Nadal played Gonzales two days ago, he had to call the doc again because he had abdominal problems.

It's like I said : Nadal is falling apart. He's got two years left on the tour -- if he's lucky.

[manuelklass]

but two years left? come on, its just another injury( well i dont know if its an injury). I think he can get well again.

[Goldorak6]

Considering how short the careers of professional tennis players are, two years is a relatively long time. And think : Nadal's recent knee injury was so severe he didn't even show up to defend the most prestigious title of them all, Wimbledon !

His health is gonna be up and down until he retires. His body has taken too much pain and punishment ever since he started playing.

What I also mean is that he's got two years left as a competitive and winning player. After that, it's downhill.

[manuelklass]

maybe youre right, i dont know, but you doesnt think think that nadal its pretty younger?

[Goldorak6]

Nadal turned pro in 2001, so that's already eight years of playing superintense tennis. His body has taken a lot of punishment in the process. Yes, he is only 23 and he is still very young, but his knees, articulations and joints are very old and used up ! That's the problem. We're gonna see how he can handle playing two three best of five sets matches in two days tomorrow and possibly Monday against del Potro and possibly the winner of Federer/Djokovic !

[NiggeliNG]

The same that happened to Nadal happened to Hewitt few years ago. He never played as good as he used to ever again. Nadal won't recover, I'm pretty sure of it.

[kaszap]

short on time?

[lorddadde98fan]

Yeah Söderling is The Ultimate One

[danmendoza13]

i cried when i watched him fall. just so sad, i mean it was just a lost to an ass like soderling but poor rafa he shouldnt of never ben booed! i mean those french people must of hated him for some dum reason! well the lost was a surprise but it was going to happen. so it does not matter rafa is still young, so i think if everything goes right he will win next year! VAMOS

[MaratSafinVideos]

He's a boring moonballer, the French are sick of Nadull, they want artists to win yet again, like Kuerten, Costa, Agassi, Gaudio, Borg, Moya etc.

Not boring grinders.

[trextrextrex]

Los Butt Picker went down hard.

[carjulxxx]

Porque lo acusan a Soderling por ese tonto episodio en roma, eso ya paso. No lo se lo puede juzgar por una cosa como esa. Pero veo que pocos juzgan a Nadal por festejar los puntos levantando su brazo y cerrando su puño como diciendo "te la meti". El publico frances le hizo sentir a Nadal que es ser maleducado como lo es el mismo Nadal.

[daywidthe88]

Söderling ägde Nadal fullständigt!

[htssnr1]

Kunde inte sagt det bättre själv!

[mavsfan1000]

Soderling is a very bad man. Class A jerk. It's too bad good guys don't always win but that is part of the sport. Btw Nadal probably shouldn't have played RG due to his knee.

[federer1116]

ur full of shit dude, you think soderling is a bad man, look at the way rafa shook soderlings hand after soderling beat the living shit out of him.

[mavsfan1000]

LOL. If beating the shit out of Nadal means barely squeaking by in 4 sets against an injured Nadal. Soderling is a cheater as proven by the incident and Rome. Soderling is also was an asshole at Wimbledon 2 years ago. Fuck him and fuck you Fedtard.

[federer1116]

i never said soderling was a good sport buddy. and what do you mean barely squeaking by in 4 sets? its 4 sets! not 5 with tiebreakers. nadal got outplayed and you just need to accept that. btw he's my second favorite player and i respect him very much. how bout u stick to ur mavs who can't seem to win an NBA final.

[Cooter3422]

Well done Soderling! :-)

[YoSoyZuri]

30/04/09: Nadal/Soderling, Rome, Soderling Tente de Tromper L'arbitre! Masters de Rome.

Guys check that vid! You are going to be sick...... Soderling trying to cheat. Check Nadal ball goes in (1:52) and look where Soderling points at (2:01)

a total lier!!!

[Grivigro]

nope it was out, hawk eye confermed it afterwards

[YoSoyZuri]

His Garros crown still on his head (4 RG in a row) no doubt who the king of clay is! As for Soderling ... Nadal lost in Paris due to injury and not due to Soderling who a few weeks earlier only managed to win ONE SINGLE GAME in the Rome Masters... a total humiliation on the hands of the champion. Soderling has ALWAYS lost to Nadal!!!!

[mavsfan1000]

Exactly. Soderling did nothing special. Nadal just couldn't move out there and that is trouble in a sport like tennis that relies on movement.

[Avatar1178]

Yes, soderling is a beast, and federer is beastlier

[YoSoyZuri]

soderling has been in good form and that is that, he has not won any tournament!! that means something!

[cnilhag]

Söderling has been a very unbalanced player before his new coach Norman. Whenever he lost a (important) point, he let his emotions take over. But not anymore, the Söderling we see now is changed and are climbing for the top 10! And you should check fact before stating something, Söderling has four ATP wins, one recently in Båstad, Sweden, and been runner-up in four since Norman started to coach him in 2008 (even if it was official first later that year).

[McApear]

Söderling was a handfull for Federer in the finals of RG, and let alone in the 4/final of Wimbeldon, It's a well known fact that Söderling has the hardest shots and strokes out there, so yes, yes I really think Söderling could have won against Nadal, bad knee or not, I mean you don't just crush Davydenko like he did if you're not a force to be reconned with, conclusion = you don't know tennis very well...dumbass!

[redskinsfreak614]

Uhm that's not a very nice thing to say

[McApear]

Lesson learned: Do not bad mouth folks unless you can back it up, with either facts (in this case you could'nt) or a good reason in general (you could'nt do that either) I'm not saying that it was wrong to stand up for Nadal, but to call a rising young player with good prospects like Söderling a dumbass just cus he defeted Nadal (fair and square) WAS wrong, and therefore I happened to call you a dumbass....we clear?

[redskinsfreak614]

I was just saying that personally I think if Nadal was 100% he would not have lost to Soderling, but I may have been out of line, and for that I apologize, but you can see where I'm coming from I guess

[YoSoyZuri]

IIn Paris it was obvious that Nadal couldn't moving properly; it was because he has been playing with a knee injury & pain. Soderling lost a few weeks earlier to Rafa (6-1, 6-0) in Rome. His head2head is of losses by Soderling. People just don't like him because he is nusty! Also he is dishonest; in Rome he tried to con the empire and line judge about a point; it was disgusting to see on cam how Soderling tried to cheat!

[akin1989]

Nadal "the king of clay" got beat in the 4th round at the French

Am sure that Federer (still the king of grass in my view) would at least make the finals of wimbledon. Now would Nadal meet him in the finals or be knocked out in the 4th round." I wont be shocked if some wild card beats Nadal at Wimbledon

[00tonytone]

IF Nadal was not around Roger would have like 5 more slams by now. Roger's achilles heel has been Rafa and these 2 are in a league of there own. Nadals hard court game has improved which is why he won australian open but his clay court has suffered because of it. ITs hard to be the best on all surfaces. Sampras as good as he was never won a french open. Wimbledon 08 finals best Match ever

[akin1989]

Very true. It is hard to be the best on all surfaces. But is funny how nobody said nothing about Nadal's injuries when he won monte carlo, barcelona and Rome easliy, and made the finals of madrid losing to a dertermined federer. When you look at the french open, he cruised thru the 1st 3 rounds. So i dont rele think his clay court game is off the mark. I just think tactically, guys are reading his game betta. Shame he had to pull out of Wimbledon. I wanted Fed to beat him well in the finals!!

[Murretti]

Nadal sucks

[DLPBurke]

It is sode-er-ling . get it right americans/. A sod is a negative word.

[ghorleylado]

nadal sucks

[esquibelle]

you suck

[ghorleylado]

i suck on ur momma's sweet boobs...

[Leonnidik]

I saw Nadal at the U.S. Open. Why does he scream so much?

[heartcrusher237]

haha by grunting you can release more power into your shots- thats what i heard :P

[Leonnidik]

HeartCrusher237- Thank you. I had to leave the Nadal match early because it frightened my grand daughter.

[marts1233]

@Leonnidik because he's the best and you need to hear him to realise idiot

[Leonnidik]

@marts1233 - Realize. Idiot.

[MrEmoGuy]

Roger Federer is the GOAT!!=)

[jasongsux]

GOATs never get completely dominated by their arch rivals.

[MrEmoGuy]

not even close to any degree of domination.lol. .=)

[juansa74]

I didn't know emos follow tennis....

[MrEmoGuy]

now you know..

even emos are followers of the MASTER.. the GOAT--->>ROGER FEDERER

[archiadrian]

envy is pathetic, and the French most pathetic

[RagingUtai]

i love spanish sausages, taste amazing. dont worry nadal ull win the next 5

[esquibelle]

Rafa we adore you no matter what

[sunfunmancanfan]

I think that Rafa played too many tournaments going into the French Open. I don't know if for certain if that would have made a difference, because Soderling was DETERMINED to beat Rafa because Soderling HATES Rafa's game: picking, taking long between serves, etc... Personally, I like Rafa's game because of his shot-making abilities which often makes watching tennis exciting to see. Rafa will be considered one of the greatest IF he were to win the USO, IMO. Soderling?...Time will tell.

[giovanoti90]

Nadal is a bad loser ... it was the fault of the people ... can not miss

[orelero]

Poor Rafa. Hail to Soderling !

[Emma805]

hey what are you talking about??????Rafa is wonderful..!!!!!

[fldrh]

he may be better than nadal (which i disagree, really, it's just one match) but against federer.. psh no chance!

[roldbert]

Nadal is BEST tennis player!

Bad BEST lose too, so it's not important, he will play better next time,

French crowd was SOO jealous! This 22 year old spanish has won already 4 TIMES, and he is going to be THE BEST TENNIS PLAYER EVER!

Good Luck in Wimbledon Rafa!

[buddhajapan]

why are nadal fans so ignorant?

[roldbert]

Ignorant? You are the ignorant if you don't explain why do you think so, but I supose you just say it, don't think, only blame

[alywen06]

most are spainish and spanish sports fans in every sport are racist, volient and always always hate the other player for no reason that guy i tnhe french open fina lwas spanish who ran on court

[archiadrian]

you know nothing

[alywen06]

sure i dont if i knew nothing i wouldnt know how to type or read mate or do anything for that fact and judging by your short reply it means you cant put up a decent arguement. so on that note bye

[archiadrian]

my English is not very good, but if you want to speak Spanish, te digo todo lo que quieras estupido nadal es el nº1 del mundo y es por merito propio ; )

[alywen06]

i dont speak spainish so im not goign to argue on that front but sure rafa may be numebr one right now but if he fails to make a show at wimbledon or win it hes in trobule as the hard corut season is after wimbledon

[archiadrian]

from madrid rafa is injured, and recover and will win titles

[Bonaboms]

im a nadal fan and im swedish, also i really dont like soderling, and im not the only one!

[Grivigro]

typ en av de enda är du

[Bonaboms]

han är inte omtyckt av dem andra spelararna, detta är nàgot vi visste om redan innan, plus ogillade jag hur han betedde sig i wimbledon mot nadal. Sà nej, jag e inte den enda

[Grivigro]

vilken barnunge du e, okej du är inte den enda, du och tre andra då. Det finns anledningar till att han inte pratar mycket med nadal + nadal snackade skit om honom på press konferansen, där har du din idiot till hjälte.

[Bonaboms]

bara för att du saknar argument behöver du inte använda usla comebacks som att kalla mig för barnunge. jag gillade inte att söderling bara vek sig ned mot fed i finalen, sàg nästan ut som att han gjorde de me mening. Och förresten du har jävligt mycket mage att kalla den sportsligaste spelaren pà touren för en idiot, skulle vilja se honom landa en stark vänster i fejan pà dig, men sàklart du är ju inte värd mödan.

[Grivigro]

sportsligaste på touren my ass, säg en grej som är sportsligt förutom att alltid ta dubbelt så lång tid mellan bollarna som de andra, aldrig berömma andra efter förluster, kritisera öppet framför media med mera. jag påpekade inte din idioti genom argument men kallade dig barnunge pga dina barnsliga åsikter grundade på ovisshet. soderling tankade inte mot federer, federer var bara bättre, precis som soderling var bättre än nadal. slutligen tycker jag du är en skam för sverige

[Bonaboms]

Antingen är du en som bara greppade tennis efter att robin vann, eller har kollat pà tennis men bara för en kort tid eller sà är du bara en ignorant nadal-basher. Nadal är en av de sportsligaste jag sett inte bara i tennis men i sport generellt. När han slog federer i Australian finalen, sà stal roger all uppmärksamhet o kritiserade nadal i pressaren, men nadal sa(som n1) att federer fortf. e bäst. Om du kunde lyssna lite bättre, sà skulle du höra att nadal accepterade sin förlust

[Grivigro]

du är då lite rolig du. svara på en några veckors gammal kommentar (jag har gått vidare, försök själv). Jag har spelat tennis sen jag varit 9 år, har alltid varit intresserad och jag vet mer om tennis än du. jag har tyckt att tennisen har varit livlös sedan federer och nadal dominerat. tennisen väcktes till liv när söderling lyckades. och om du inte tyckter som jag, sluta svara och bete dig som en korkad idiot.

[Bonaboms]

XD jag svarar pà en veckors gammal kommentar för att jag faktiskt har ett liv utanför youtube! 9 àr? so what? jag har spelat sen jag var 7. Du säger att du vet mer om tennis än jag men du pàstar att söderling väckte tennisen till liv. Det finns en oerhört làng lista av spelare som har väckt tennisen till liv mer, under fed-nadal perioden. Du säger att jag ska sluta vara en korkad idiot medans du barnsligt kritiserar en tennis-legend, det du behöver är en massa böcker o en spegel.

[Grivigro]

släpp det nu, dont get your panties in a bunch.

[Bonaboms]

hahaha only if u will man! thank you come again^^

[kymgarcia09]

just like nadal

[alywen06]

rafa his killign his body mate hes had to pull otu fo queens is game is his downfall and his lose at the french just shows how beatable he is and he lost to roger in madrid the week before so dont start sayign stuff like that .. bye

[GingerMouseIsBack]

Hope Federer smashes Soderling!

[lfcJT07]

and he does!!! :P

[kennedyh]

i still love to see a rafa roger french open final.

it's just so unfortunate that rafa bowed out early.

good luck to roger. you are the greatest. ever.

[magomerlinn]

Entiendo tu felicidad janndel123, porque uno solo puede ser feliz cuando el VERDADERO campeon pierde, solo asi se puede tener el camino libre para ganar de una manera tan fácil.

[cipcy]

your hopes are going to be shattered!! yeahhhhh nadal should kick soderling's ass in real life :)))

[GRNDSLMHTTR3]

Soderling could punch Nadal from like 10 ft away.

[baszovic]

shut the fuck and stop making up excuses for nadals sake, söderling was the better the player, too bad he couldnt win the fifth roland garros BAD LUCK hahahah..i think this is söderlings turn and in a year he is going top five, trust me this is not an exception,söderling is on his move, Forza sverige

[guitarou15]

Yes man ! you're right

[kymgarcia09]

go soderling!!!

[guitarou15]

Olé !! VIVA SODERLING ! hahaha

[janndel23]

i am just happy that NADAL's OUT. . HAHAHAHA

[roldbert]

Jealous maybe? Where r u from?

[saybia75]

I think it´s amazing that we are so good playing at clay.

Nadal is from spain with nice weather almost all the time but in Sweden you can ony play on clay may-sept.

Go Robin Söderling!!!!

[ShaynBilly]

Why is everyone so against Nadal? He's an amazing player. He is the best clay court player out there. I'm not thrilled about him..but I don't cut him down. Federer is my favorite tennis player..that doesn't mean I am going to cut Nadal down for having a winning record against him. That's just wrong. Nadal is a one in a lifetime player, just like Federer.

[razzmatin]

Nadal is a great player I agree. It is just weird to hack down on some players. I am happy though for Soderling. Very happy in fact, he has worked hard and he ha a good chance at the finals now.

[zingostar]

hallelujah..... swedens söderling finally shows that nadal who is the boss

[CaptainBuster]

and who is the boss? Söderling?

Nadal is still the best clay player, pal.

[zingostar]

still he got owned by söderling:)....so söderling is better.

[esquibelle]

It was a fluke. Rafa had a bad day, Sod had a rare good day. There's a reason he's ranked as low as he is & Rafa is #1.

[thetobbit]

yeh

[Grivigro]

o yea you "must" be right. If nadal lose he automatically has a bad day. Thats a perfect way to blame losses. And if it works out blame the loss on an injury too. Conclusion: go suck nadals dick you ignorant twat

[YoSoyZuri]

Grivigro, Nadal did not have a bad day; he had an injury!! As for a bad day..... how much has Nadal won on clay? ..... That is your answer. Who do you think Soderling is compared to Nadal? Notbody...... They don't call Nadal the king of clay for nothing!

[Grivigro]

lol to you nadals carrer is over. Soderling will never lose to him again. His knee didnt seem a problem when he outclassed hewitt in the 3rd round or the tournaments before. As we all know nadal usually blames losses on something when he lose. this time he only said that he played bad, not an injury. I guess he got the whole injury thing from his coach in an desperate attempt to save his carrer. Even if im wrong there is no doubt that due to knee and elbow injuries that his carrer will be short.

[AceGuitarR7]

yeh but time is catching up with nadal. sure hes a machine... but hes slowly breaking down. He trained so hard and has such a physical game its impossible to maintain that level of fitness. Ive been saying it for the last two years nadal will have too many injuries.

[menomgforfan]

best comment i've ever read

[GSDfanlol]

Who just got got beat by Soderling.. cry more please.

[bls90]

lol. my jaws DROPPED when i was flipping channels to see that the only set Nadal won was 7-6 tiebreak. i was like "nadal... losing? wtf.."

[manzaymenza]

Yes there is,Robin is much better than Nadal...Much Better.

[LLNagashi]

nah, Nadal forehand top spin was falling short that game it only made to service line 0.0, he usually hit it all the way to basline of the oppenent court, he just wasn't playing his best that game, ehh too bad..

[GSDfanlol]

sorry i love rafa but Robin just completely blew him off the court, he would have blew any player off the court the way he was playing.

[LLNagashi]

but Roger killed him at final tho....

[frozt321]

SWEDEN !

Björn Borg are so happy now when he got too keep hes record

[gmccauley08]

hard to watch this i'm rafas no1 fan :(

gotta face the music though

[grafight]

I keep looking out the window. It must be the end of the world.

[micke191]

Very nice Soderling, ur cool!! ;)
