little 12 year old Rafael Nadal

[kayelleco]

Is there a translation anywhere for the interview at the end? I checked up to page 27, unsure if I missed it! Would be greatly appreciated :)

[nialljamesbuckley]

quien es el otro?

[nialljamesbuckley]

jose sanchez?

[Eeohippus]

I'm wondering when his hair started getting so curly. It's strait as an arrow here!

[adi2777]

@Eeohippus :He has wavy hair not curly.

That happens naturally to a lot of us.

My mom's persian with milky white skin and straight as an arrow hair and dad's british.

I'm in my 20's and it's been a couple of years since my hair started becoming wavy.

[dianmarin]

Nole's childhood was cuter

[TheAlexx27]

the other kids like 16

[444JMS]

Rafa's first taste of defeat...

[HeikkiX360]

No es Rafa uno de mis tenistas favoritos, quiero decir que no me gusta excesivamente su estilo, pero este niño de 12 años le mete un repaso en humildad, autocrítica y sinceridad al 90% de los deportistas adultos mas consolidados. Lo de que, referiendose a su rival: 'ha jugado bastante mejor que yo' en vez de buscar excusas estúpidas es algo que a los 'mayores' se lo tienen que sacar poniendoles una pistola en la cabeza.

[DLPBurke]

still 1 dimensional even then.

[lbcandide]

ADORABLE

[KnowYourTeam]

before he got on the roids by the looks of it

[SalahAlomar89]

The footwork, body language is all the same... it's astonishing how those players evolve to be the world's finest

[B0CAJUN10RS1995]

Hardcourts exist in Spain? Since when?

[MrTomasetix]

@B0CAJUN10RS1995 Since we discovered that was a surface for childrens and easy to win David's Cups against amateurs national teams like...

[B0CAJUN10RS1995]

@MrTomasetix is Argentina the right answer? Obviously there are hardcourts in Spain i was just making a joke because just like in Argentina in Spain most people are better on clay courts. For example Rafa Nadal himself the king of clay and instead of insulting people on the internet for the performance of their national team maybe you should worry a little more on the economy of your country...

[MrTomasetix]

@B0CAJUN10RS1995 Ok, Ok, sorry. I wasn't insulting, just joking about tenis. That's all. I'm worried on the economy, of course, but I can't do anything to solve it. Meanwhile, I write here to forget my hunger and my indigence for a moment. This make me feel in the first world. (Por cierto, ¿Qué carajo hacemos usando el inglés? Además que lo hablo fatal)

[B0CAJUN10RS1995]

@MrTomasetix jajaja si enserio que boludos que somos. pero te digo yo vivo en EEUU y tu ingles no es malo te entendi todo perfecto 

[ryuichirapha]

[APH1991]

Still the same mannerisms as today.

[Metzen09]

Is he really young there to be that good.

[Metzen09]

Its funny how all the Serbs now think that they are so high and mighty and better than everyone just because one good thing (Novak Djokovic) came out of their god foresaken shit hole of a country.

[beograd1976]

Every foreigner who comes to Serbia change his opinion about Serbia. We are not the best, but we are not the worst. Welcome to Serbia

[Chris196v16]

[slimjimmy149]

Oh this kid is going to amount to absolutely nothing....

[mftwokey]

tad je bio mala pichkica - isto shto je i sada! idemooooo

[SparklyBerryXxX]

[CopyriteInfringement]

i bet the opponent probably works in an office or something now

[brightlights456X]

Ahhhh....the 90's. Such an innocent time:P

[unioncity]

He was arranging his milk bottles at this age.

[Magnific0giganticus]

Haha at the end of the video he looks at his little trophy as if saying "what's this piece of crap, I've got to get me better silverware". A few years later, he did, lol.

[brightlights456X]

@Magnific0giganticus

[TheHyroi]

@ImGoingToHeck I know I did. And Ocarina of time.

[Phillies222]

He takes interviews exactly the same as he does today. Look at his head nods and stuff

[hearditman]

[freedom8181]

i think he will be a very good tennis player in future

[salimlaaguel]

@freedom8181 His 25 now ...

[tuyenle2354]

@freedom8181 More than just good.. "King of Clay".. #1...Olympic Gold Medalist.. and the only player on the open era to hold a Career Golden Slam. Becoming a "very good tennis player" is an understatement.

[alek123ish]

[dgolijan]

@LJUBICSKA83 brate nemoj da si tard....nemog da ga mrzis jer ga je Novak prepiso :) . Rafa je extra lik, on i Nole su ortaci. Ne vidim razloga za hate. Kakva bi bila tvoja reakcija da neki Shpanac dodje na Noletov vid i da kaze da je smesan i ruzan??

[181erob]

That runner - up trophy must haunt his memories.

[wahedkazi]

[NapoleoN422]

[RollerCoasterSRB]

[TheDonOrange]

[quachingducks]

[cuteatasi]

he is still the same.......

[aonutube]

I think this kid is going to be the legend of tennis in the future.

[bluemoon1012]

@aonutube was that a joke? u do no his grown up rite?

[robsten321]

@aonutube ummm.... He is the legend now. he is second player of tennis in the world.

[XelaTN]

Humildad ante todo... Un crack!

[voormynhyves]

Cute!!

[fhdfba007]

awww :)

[123SDFan]

If you look at the way he talks and his gestures such as

1:14 you will realize that he is still EXACTLY the same. (:

[RelapseMan12]

Talk whatever u want, but Djokovic is no1 suckers

[sTrEaM219]

@RelapseMan12 U Mad Brah ?

[quachingducks]

@RelapseMan12 haha no 1 at this year, but is he no 1 in records? no. he is around the same age as rafa and he has 3 grand slams, vs Nadal who has 10, Sampras who has 14, Federer who has 16. compared to a person around his age by a year, why does he have 7 grand slams less than Nadal? because he isn't as good. talk whatever you want, but Djokovic sucks compared to the other great tennis players out there.

[iAwakeCA]

@quachingducks

if he sucked he wouldnt be first now ;)

[quachingducks]

@iAwakeCA cool man. compare him to Federer in his prime, and Sampras in his prime. see who wins, they would wipe him in straight sets.

[TheShannon76]

@quachingducks Nadal was destroying Federer when Fed was in his PRIME.

[quachingducks]

@TheShannon76 Dude, didn't you read my comment? I'm comparing Sampras and Federer to Djokovic. Maybe Nadal defeated Federer in Clay, but on Grass and HC it was a whole different story, not saying Nadal sucks, he's one of my favorite characters, but face the truth, Federer is the best HC player, and if not the best Grass player he is second. Nadal was the Best on clay, no doubt. I wasn't comparing Federer and Sampras to NADAL, I was comparing them to DJOKOVIC

[quachingducks]

@RelapseMan12 he also has no records. except maybe being the biggest ass hole ever, with his arrogance. or having a dick head family who doesn't respect anyone.

[rsrptl4life]

oh. my. gosh.. he looks exactly the same! adorable!

[AkiPsycho]

NOLEEE the best!!!

[Cuquiface]

In the end, we should all be able to respect the immense talent all these guys have, that you all are "fighting" about. You all should just leave it at that...

[0210mick]

0.21 tony:)

[Serbia310]

НОЛЕ!!!

[imagrandpa]

I didn't like him at first. He has definitely won me over. A class act and I hope he plays for a lot longer. Novak just got lucky!!

[jeannonin]

Novak's fans should just go away. I don't see Nadal's fans pissing on anything because we are all classy! Like Nadal himself!

[Mzee1084]

@jeannonin Of course you would say that as a Nadal fan. Nadal fans are the most annoying fans out of the top 3 mens players, and I like Nadal. Nadal fans seem to have less respect for the history of the game, show a good deal of ignorance about the sport, and complain all the time about Federer and especially Djokovic now.

[jeannonin]

@Mzee1084 That's just rubbish. Rafa fans never complain about Federer's fans or Novak's fans until the personal attacks began. I happen to like Federer and Novak themselves, but not Novak's fans.

[jeannonin]

@Mzee1084 You wanna discuss history? let's discuss history. Novak's fans only started being complete asses, posting mean comments on Rafa's videos, after he started beating Rafa this year. Where were they before if they claim to love him so much? Fair-weather fans are what they are. As for Federer's fans, same thing....started making personal attacks after Rafa started beating him. We Rafa fans just stuck to posting our comments on Rafa's own videos.

[Mzee1084]

@jeannonin Rafa fans have been moaning about Federer for years, and acting like Rafa is completely infallible. Rafa is humble but the fans certainly are not. This year every time Djokovic has beaten Rafa I hear Rafa fans complaining about Djokovic and Djokovic fans and how Rafa was not playing well due to illness or injury. Rafa fans also complain about how Djokovic over celebrates points and Nadal was guilty of this a lot more a few years ago.

[randykarmakum]

@jeannonin one thing for sure i tell u all. Most Rafa fans are jumped from ex-sampras fans because they hate federer for being better so rafa is first one to stop him. Natural fans the most is federer, sampras, agassi, djokovic, safin in order. With safin having most female fans. Every player has bad fans its true but rafa had least natural fans, pretty obvious.

[iceblue717]

@randykarmakum you suck

[SeyedJalalHosseini]

amazing form!

You have Novak's videos and you can spam there with pure posts. It is not fair to shit on the guy who was until now the best player of the world. You don't respect enything!

[kerigoghy]

[TheDrogoljub]

[MrJovana13]

What are you talking about, and Nadal was the one place and what is now Djokovic ....... something better than him ..... Be real and on the car ..........

[Ahelphand]

@MrJovana13 when Djokovic comes up with 10 grand slam titles like Nadal then we'll talk...
