Rafael Nadal Victory Ceremony Wimbledon 2008

[31cify]

The DVD of this match is excellent, but does not contain the interviews at the end like you see on this You Tube video.

[pepobr]

roger is classic i love this in he style

[RabbaDabba69]

the two greastest players ever in my opinion.

both have completed a career grand slam, an awsome achievment.

[WhkCre8inHavok]

Great competitors on-court, great friends off-court, both great champions & role models for the future generation of tennis. "Absolutely Awesome"

[Chechox9]

Rafa is the People of Spain Champion, but Roger is the People's Champ

[Crisstti]

Wow, Rafa is so moved, so emotional here :)

[lakota66]

i am shure, rafa and roger will be friends 'til the end of their days. they are both such great sportsmen. and both so gentle.

[pikachu5681]

this two are the greatest tennis players of all time but federer is my all time favourite

[jstme0702]

hope to see these two great champions in wimbledon 2011 finals :)) vamos,rafa! :))

[DerrenBrown100]

@BigDainjerus Federer is the King of tennis

[hombredelpartido]

correction: second man of his country to win this championship ;)

[magomerlinn]

Rafa won again!!!!!!!!

[TKManUTD1989]

@MrRodrigov90 grow up, you twat

[msane4XX]

Rafa was so genuine in his interview. He deserves it.

[ljubke95]

VAMOS RAFA!!!YOU ARE THE BEST!!!NUMBER 1. RAFAEL NADAL!!!

[federerbestclass]

classy. elegant. always calm. true greatest player. love you, Roger

[adrenilenepotato]

these picture are why wimbledon is the undisputed no1 tournament in the world,oozes class and history the other majors can only dream of ,i will never forget this final and these 2 great sporting icons

[hustler2406]

djokovic is right....rafa is always scratching his butt haahahah LMAO

[balancer182]

I feel like after Nadal beat Federer here, Federer was never the same again. He no longer had the same self confidence.

[AnimeIntroStyles4]

@balancer182 Well the score in the french open final a few weeks before this final probably didn't help his confidence either.

[balancer182]

After Nadal won the match, I actually exclaimed "Nadal won!!!!!!!". I normally don't do this. This was the most intense final I ever saw.

[miguelucho20008]

The comentator is wrong when he says Nadal is the first man from Spain to win Wimbledon -Santana won it in the 60's

[KaitainCPS]

@miguelucho20008

He probably means in the Open Era, beginning in 1968. Santana won in '66.

[miguelucho20008]

The greatest tennis player of all time beaten by the greatest tennis player of all time.

[FunkyDevil909]

two great champions!

[goolagong68]

the love and respect between these two should be shown to people like Connors and Borg

[oliviacowelll]

in one of his press conferences he started to laugh because someone asked what does it mean to win and he has a rehersed line he says every time someone asks that question because his english isnt perfect.

[brady3012]

Rafa needed to win he will always be the best

[fierte]

to the person who said nadal was annoying for running around and blah blah and other trolling, you need to understand that his excitement is not even for himself but for spain because final his country was on the list again. think about this year and why they desperately wanted murray to win. to him it was not even about the trophy. it was about the spanish recognition. sometimes honour may transcend the meager comprehension of us mere mortals.

[superkay85]

'The best player in history, Roger Federer' Thats is what Rafa says in this interview and you can tell he genuinely believes it.

[Hunkola]

Nadal is a great champion......but Federer is already a legend and is way more classier than Rafa......Federer is better

[ryder0792]

hahahhaa omgggg tony nadal actually looks like tony montana here!!!!!

[AugynesS]

wow nadal is so buff when he plays and so cute and innocent when he wins the match... ahh i love his spanish accent and i love HIM

[ryancouture]

@AugynesS  what about me?

[Dracilla112]

I'm wishing for another Federer vs Nadal Wimbledon final...it doesn't get more intense then that! :D

[cuong1310]

is this just me or it was kind of annoying when Nadal ran all over the court, jumped up and walked back and forth on the roof despite his opponent and whole bunch were waiting for him. No offense, just a personal though.

[20098104]

@cuong1310 No it's just you

[blucaller1]

@cuong1310 No I thought it was beautiful. It was really of the moment.

[jjguy23]

Nadal is a great champ, but what I seen in him that in most players I do not see is humility. He is always so humble on and off the court.

As for Federer, I think he is humble, but with a touch of arrogance, which is justified because of all that he has accomplished.

[mcaj007]

@jjguy23

Nadal needs to stay humble because this biased world has already declared Federer the "greatest ever" and this makes Nadal's work even more harder. With a 3-5 record against Federer on non-clay courts, Nadal has just begin his journey. I'm sure he's hellbent to prove that he's not just King of Clay, but King of Tennis. Too bad Federer, you got some competition.

[MrRippy99]

@mcaj007 It's hardly a "biased world". People have declared Fed the best ever because of his many accomplishments. If Nadal goes on to break those records, then I'm sure the majority of people will have no problem with admitting Nadal is the greatest ever.

[ryder0792]

@jjguy23 very well said, and so true. nadal is extremely humble

[ashan3124]

VAMOS RAFA!!!!!!!!!

[mattcheetos]

I am letting everyone know that the user 'federerbestclass' and the user 'hateNadalll' (who posts stupid comments about hating nadal)- are the SAME PERSON. They posted to me a list of all the things Nadal does that they dont like, guess what, it was the exact same list (with broken english) that febbestclass posted to me!!!. they give themself thumbs up to look good. Very disrespectful and arrogant person!!

[heartthrobofindia]

@mattcheetos absolute true buddy, u are rite, some people cannot stand others victories and even become nasty, guess he is one of them

[hateNadalll]

nadal is always annoying overaction

keeps always overpowering it. ugly

[aznking01010]

@hateNadalll lol shut up hater. no one wants you here.

[a11ure]

@hateNadalll Do u even comprehend what the word ugly means? Ugliness is a sad little person trolling youtube spewing hate and venom toward a universally celebrated athlete just cause he dominates your personal favorite. Now that is ugly indeed. But then again i realize how pathetic your sad lonely life must be for him to affect u in such a significant way. So vent however u will. I pity you more than anything. Pathetic little creature u are. What kind of an excuse for parents raised u?

[hateNadalll]

@a11ure Change mind. Nadal true class. classy man great. nadal GOAT. sad day roger fans. mono, disease of lung, back broken past heyday. Nadal heyday now. GOAT nadal. handsome. True class Nadal. Nadal love.

[a11ure]

@hateNadalll May i ask why the sudden drastic change? You were spewing venom and malice at someone for no reason (simply because you didn't like his style of play) but now you're claiming you see his class and find him handsome? Is this genuine? Or are you just saying this now because he's proven himself on every stage winning all the slams and thus solidifying his place at the no.1? Do you only like people when they're winning and on top of the world?? i just don't understand

[Martsafrigide]

@a11ure bro, almost everyone who writes comments on youtube has no idea what there talking about lol

[hateNadalll]

Federer is a gentleman. Quiet.

[srimoyee90210]

@hateNadalll you suck!i guess you like a pig yourself and is jealous of nadal!

[ANTOINETYC]

i think you need to shut the fuck up

[hateNadalll]

ugly

[mickeyari]

ferocious rafa!!

[butt01]

At the AO he thought that he would have won the match because Nadal was exhausted before (played 5 hours against Verdasco 2 days ago). But here Nadal was just better. I think that Federer knew it.

[mandyxjane]

Rafa is amazing and was SOOO deserving!!!

[mandyxjane]

Cos he thought he'd equal Sampras at the AO and was after other tough losses to Rafa and cos Roger is just a fucker.

[vadoum87]

This was an incredible match. After that Roger's backhand down the line, when he saved M.P. , I was under such adrenaline, like I never was before during a tennis match. Just amazing. Pretty rare moment.

[Angelah2528]

Both of them are classic guys. They are the model of the tennis players.

[knucklehead554]

Can someone tell me why everyone at Wimbledon wear white all the time???

[rds020790]

It's just a tradition that was set a long time ago. That's all =]

[KaitainCPS]

@knucklehead554

Club rules.

A lot of young players don't like it, but come to respect and enjoy the traditions as time goes on, e.g. Agassi.

[v4n3ssath3b3st]

i hope rafa comes back even stronger this year i hope he does everyone proud cause this shows you hes got it in him to be the best im not a hater of federer bt its like his time is sorting coming to an end hes had loads of victory and now he has a family i hope he has a great run to but i hope rafa starts to shine way more

[YoSoyZuri]

I saw that Final on the Henman hill outside because I did not have a ticket for the Final. But the ambience was magical before, during and even more after!! I will never forget!!

[eveevie]

both amazing champions.. i am a huge federer fan but rafa deserved this and they are such great sportsmen and rafa is very humble and roger dignified in loss! best sporting final i ever watched... amazing atmosphere that i don't think will ever happen again :)

[YoSoyZuri]

As long as those two players are still competing --and meeting each other, there will always be a chance of seeing another Final of that quality. But yes I would say not likely to be any better than that! Lets not forget that the atmosphere at Wimbledon is so special ...

[androc75]

7:50 - 7:53. Most touching. Tells it all.

[YoSoyZuri]

The best ever Final played by the best players who gave the best ever performance by far! A real spectacle of tennis! And Rafael was the best man.... The Top Man!

[YoSoyZuri]

To get to hold that CUP is already a great honour. You can't hold it unless you win Wimbledon and only for so long before you have to give it back! Winners only get a replica of the old trophy! And lets face it .... it is a beautiful one!! :D

[MrIanGardner]

could you explain that to me i didnt know that

[butt01]

I was in tears of joy after this win. 2007 loss was really hard for me too. But I was so sure that next year he would have won it. Really happy for this player who works his ass off to won this tournament. Nobody would have won this match after losing that 4th with 2 match points. Rafa did . Well done!!!

[widebody123]

it was a final that will talked about for a long time.

Possibly Rafa's finest moment.

Great to see the respect they both have for each other.

[inspired47]

this was the best final iv ever seen

my brothers a roger lover and im a rafa fanatic

the match was amazing

the atmosphere electric

[MaliceinWonderladUn]

Now Del Potro did it aswell

[hhuugguuiinn]

but i don´t think delpo is doing it again...

[a11ure]

i completely agree. Thats why i find it baffling when i hear Federer fans bashing Rafa. I mean the guy is more complimentary to Federer than anyone on the circuit. Hes humble, hes charming, hes talented. How can ppl diss the guy?

[viveespana]

Well said!!!

[wickedmario007]

7:47 . i love it wen federer gives nadal a little tap on his head like a big brother...lucky to be born in federer's era

[torrepr]

@wickedmario007 Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are a true gentlemen.. and I am lucky to live in this era of tennis watching the best rivalry in the history of this great sport..

[goolagong68]

@wickedmario007 what a load of bullshit...thats your opinion of what federer did....maybe you forget Roger's balling/crying his eyes out after the Australian Open in 2009 and how it was actually Nadal who consoled Roger like the BIG Brother

[patriciaRAWR]

it looks so much better when its presented at night, you can see all the flashes, i love it LOL

[laras56]

when Rafa got injured.....

[jna180]

nahhhh

[voguegirl01]

this is considered the best game of all time and rafa won! I think hes such an amazing player and should get more credit for everything hes acheived!!

[littlestoked]

@voguegirl01 what are you talking about? get more credit? people are calling him the greatest ever...how is that not getting enough credit?

[voguegirl01]

@littlestoked Hey BTW did you look when I posted this comment!?! A YEAR AGO! when everyone said the Nadal would never win anything again because of his knees. SO YES a year ago rafa was not getting enough credit at ALL it was only this week that he was on his way to being considered the greatest player ever. Which I entirely agree to because I think he will be the best ever if he stays healthy. SO NEXT TIME LOOK AT THE POSTED DATE BEFORE YOU WRITE ANY COMMENT!

[pedroaneses]

no doubt about it the best wimbeldon finals ever

[calbearzz17]

2:32 - 2:41 give me chills sounds soo good

[1505kad]

lord these presentations take ages - I think this takes the longest!!!!

[federer1116]

best match i've ever seen.

[eirikkkk]

LOL.

[garybarlow20]

the best moment for me!!!

Great Nadal!

[samsungcansing]

greatest match ever played cud have been even greater if federer had won

[Jester7734]

great videos. great acceptances speeches. 2 of the classiest players ever.

[pescarolo]

thanks for the video!!great!!

they're both so simple!!
