Rafa Nadal vs. Robin Söderling, 6-1 y 6-0

[Bostero3771]

Nadal destroyed Soderling in this match with the strategy he always employs. Return every shot thrown at him with heavy topspin high balls until the swede hits it out or gives him a short ball. Soderling missed a lot of points. Three weeks later at RG everything landed in and closed to the lines. Difference is Nadal can repeat his performance every time. Soderling did it once. No injuries. Just one guy playing the match of his life.

[Rafathaman94]

@Bostero3771 See! My point proven again. I go on this video to reply to a comment, and I see you on here! And what were you doing? You were bashing Nadal. You keep claiming I stalk you when I have no intentions and I'm clearly NOT! I only came on here to respond to a comment. It's like your in love with him or something. I have yet to see you on a video without Nadal on it (ALMOST always when he loses the match, but not ALL the time).

[Bostero3771]

@Rafathaman94 You are obsessed with my comments. "bashing Nadal"?? I said he can play his game consistently and Soderling cannot and that is the explanation for the H2H... But you keep looking for videos to see if I dare criticize the object of your love. Again I have posted hundreds of coments on subjects from guitar to horses and of course the great Master of tennis but you keep spending hours going from one Nadal video to another to see if I'm there and go nuts about it

[Rafathaman94]

"Obsessed with my my comments"? Look at the recent comments. cj397 responded to a comment I wrote on this vid a while ago. So I go on here to respond to his comment, and then I see your comment just below his. I had no intentions at all to go on this vid to see if you commented on it, even though you claim I do. I go on many tennis videos (most being Nadal vids). I have yet to see you on a vid w/o nadal.

[Bostero3771]

@Rafathaman94 WOW!!! That is a great deduction, You go "mostly on Nadal videos" (no surprise there) and don't see me "on a vid without Nadal".. again, I post comments on MANY videos, so not only you are trying to prove a wrong point by chasing me all over youtube but you are looking in the wrong places. I get comments on my gmail account, come to the video and respond to it and then you go beserk because your platonic love is not praised the way you do?

[Rafathaman94]

@Bostero3771 I like that you use facts to prove points and I like that you see that the Federer fans are also biased. I'm all for that. But why must you do it just to try to make a player look bad? It's not like your gonna change anyone's mind. I'd have more respect for you if you try to support another player instead of spending most of your time on Nadal vids arguing with the fans and talking about how Nadal makes excuses and all that stuff.

[tiko345678]

Yo recuerdo este partido . Me impresionó , no tanto ,obiamente por el nivel de rafa, si no más bien por el pobre rendimiento del sueco . Quién , NADIE , se hubría imaginado lo que vendría ¡? Realmente increible y una muestra del gran deporte que es el tenis . Para muchos un deporte aburrido , para mi una gran pasión.

[animaanimaanima]

Federer vs Nadal is almost as big as Real Madrid vs Barcelona

[feltoni1]

Νadal is very very very good player!!!Nadal is one of my favourites tennis players!!!!!maybe federer is better than Nadal but Nadal is faster than federer!!!!that is better!!!!VAMOS RAFA OLE!!!!rafa we will be with you 4 ever!!!!<3 <3 

[conseguir]

Absolutely ok with it, Rafa and federer respect each other ... i juste dont like the way soderling enjoys beating Rafa, he's evel and mean

besides when hes on interview he acts like a three-year-old boy, MMAAAAANNN grow up, be adult, he doesnt have any sport spirit

[BrotherTree1]

soderling really turned his game around after this match. also when he beat david ferrer in 3rd round roland garros, that really lifted his game....i saw the 4th set against ferrer, he was timing everything to perfection. and from that i just knew he was gunna be a threat to nadal, but i didnt expect him to actually beat him!!! oh but he did, and look at him now.....a contender on the tour....

[realphobos]

@BrotherTree1 well i guess one cant expect knowledgeable tennis comments on youtube. only threat to nadals game at the time was his knees. just watch this again if anything remains unclear

[BrotherTree1]

@realphobos yeah true, but soderling has improved his game. here, soderling was back in his bad old crappy days. even tho he may still lose to nadal on clay, at least he wont get owned this badly.

[AlphaDraconis7]

hey..federer is the GREATEST...nadal is only good, not great.

[Vaalferatus]

Hahahahaha!!

Who won always games Nadal vs Federer?

[verseaucamus]

who won always games Nadal vs Nalbandian? hahaha

[econ1975]

For YoSoyZuri Your the one thats ignorant mate with your ridiculos comments I can and will express my opinion as I wish if you dont like it tough mate get a life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hateNadalll]

nadal is sucks

[Bigpuuba]

lol, how pathetic are u, coming to all videos about rafa just to say he sucks

[YoSoyZuri]

OMG what a horrible emotion to live with HATE!! It is dangerous it could give you a cancer in the future. Envy and hate are really unhealthy emotions to live with!! LOL

VAMOS RAFAEL .... GORGEOUS MAN!

[YoSoyZuri]

hateNadal is a coward. Check his channel. No comments because people leave messages that he doesn't like. He offends too many people here. All he does is say "Nadal sucks" is dick-head of the worst kind!!

[DonChilenito]

well soderling whas playing at he´s best in this match and Nadal whasent, now im not saying nadal would have won if he had playe on he´s best but the match would have ended in a diffrent story. Robin played very good 2009, you alweys need luck to win aswell. even federer and Nadal needs it.

[UsefullLustOfGore]

@DonChilenito I don't think so. I think that Soderling beated him at RG because he wasn't at his best. But now he's back and he beated Soderling.

[DonChilenito]

@UsefullLustOfGore, no i meant soderling whas at he´s best not nadal. butont this turnoment they played for some days ago 2010, soderling looked ot play at he´s best and nadal beated him, Thats what i mean.

[UsefullLustOfGore]

@DonChilenito Owh ok, i'm sorry ^^

[JaliceHaleCullen]

I don't understand people who like Federer and who insult Rafa. YES, Federer is a GREAT player, but Nadal is a great player too. I don't understand the rivalty between Rafa's fans and Fed's fans, whereas there isn't such a rivlaty between the two players themselves, and that there's a lot of respect between the two of them. Besides, Rafa is a fan of Federer. So stop being childish. You can like one, but there's no need to insult the other. Or you could like both !

[YoSoyZuri]

Jalice you should understand it! They FEAR Nadal, as simple as that! It is fear that he can end Federer because he almost has, he has already won most of their matches and beaten Federer on all surfaces at Grand Slams. Roger has never beaten Rafael on any GS other than Wimbledon. Rafa has taken Wimbleson and Australia directly from Federer. Roger has never done that to Rafael!

[GigaDarter007]

@JaliceHaleCullen

sport without rivalty is no fun

[iOnlySignIn]

@JaliceHaleCullen So you haven't heard of FEDAL fans?

[JaliceHaleCullen]

@iOnlySignIn No, but now that I have (thanks to you :p) I like it ! :p

[cj397]

@JaliceHaleCullen there is much, MUCH more hate towards roger from rafa fanboys.

[Rafathaman94]

@cj397 lol You know that's not true. Federer fans just cannot stand the fact that Nadal is a bad match for Federer.

[cj397]

@Rafathaman94 of course he is. on this earth its not possible for man to be able to dominate every single person. even sampras had several guys he couldnt beat, yet he was still the greatest. nadal can beat roger yes, and is greatest clay court player ever, and one of the greats and is def a legend. but nadal fans cannot admit the fact that roger is a superior player...very vague yes but hard to explain. the talent, shotmaking, grace, smoothness and dominance for so long says it all.

[Rafathaman94]

@cj397 Personally, I think there is no greatest player of all time.

You can say Sampras is the GOAT for winning 14 slams in an era with a lot of competition, but he never even got to the finals of RG.

You can say Federer is the GOAT, but he played in an era of weaker competition than Sampras and he lost 7 times to Nadal is GS's (4 times Nadal beat him in his prime years).

You can say Nadal's the GOAT, but Federer's got more slams.

Nadal might not be better, but he's definitely close.

[cj397]

@Rafathaman94 you can not say nadal's the greatest. how can you even claim it against roger's achievements, this makes sense...none.

[LeonardoTorino]

@JaliceHaleCullen or you can like one and insult the other guy. and who cares?

[doofynetgraouw]

actually, only two weeks ..

[AlphaDraconis7]

this is one of the closest 6-0 6-1 matches you will ever see...

literally, almost every game was DEUCE..

so the scoreline is very decieving...soderling did not play poorly, he gave rafa problems even in this match..

[maximewattel]

These guys have been playing each other for quiete a while obviously. I like both of them. I 'm still wondering about Robin's attitude with Rafa, but he's a good player.

[vlovesrafa]

This was the sweetest revenge for Rafa!

[carlosgordillo83]

one word for u .......roland ehhe

[vlovesrafa]

Good reply carlosgordillo83.lol.....

One sentence for you.Rafa 6 slams and counting,Soderling 0.

[carlosgordillo83]

i fuckin care ...he beat nadal .....im not a fan of soderling

[DECBULL]

The sweetest revenge ??? jajaja, stupid. This match was about 3 months before Roland Garros. Asshole !!!

[vlovesrafa]

I didn't know that....Um.What is with the name calling?It's not nice to call people names.Especially people you don't know.

[DECBULL]

I wanna apologize with you. You´re right, I don´t know you but I don´t like Nadal, so I didn´t like your comment.

Sorry, it´s not was my intention. Greetings.

[vlovesrafa]

DECBULL.Apology accepted.I understand......May I ask though,who is your favorite player?Greetings.

[DECBULL]

My favorite player is Federer, I think he´s the best player of all times.

Thanks for accept my appologize. Greetings to you, too !!!

[vlovesrafa]

DECBULL.Excellent choice.Roger gets my vote for the greatest player ever.He's just not my favorite.But off the court Roger seems to be a great guy.One of the nicest on the tour.

[ElectricalCloud]

way to lecture him in two sentences BRAVO I HAVE TO HAND TO YOU

[vlovesrafa]

Furthermore,DECBULL....i wasn't talking about revenge for Roland Garros.I was talking about revenge for blockhead Soderling imitating Rafa @ Wimbledon.

[stanneyding]

playing on clay probalby has a whole different feel

[caleta21]

bottom line Federer is Nr1 !!!

[caleta21]

Nadal is a great player..... but he will never be even close to Federer on a career comparison... he can beat Federer on clay... but that's it

[cuarteto6x8]

on clay on hard and grass that's it ;)

[YoSoyZuri]

OMG how embarrassing for Soderling!! Nadal scored (6-1,6-0); Soderling only won one game! Hahahaha. In Garros he won because Nadal was injures (not one can deny that) and any one knows what Nadal is like on clay anyway! Soderling was disgusting on this match because he lied to the judge and umpire trying to cheat them of a point when he claimed that it was out. But the idiot didn't realissed that camaras have catch him lying about where the ball mark was!!

[econ1975]

You the idiot Mistblinde2 sore loser get over it the fact is Federer is better than Soldering by far

[econ1975]

Soderling was beaten by Federer ha ha ha loser

[Mistblinde2]

i really hope you're kidding.. if you're not, you're just a real idiot

[YoSoyZuri]

So what if Soderling has beaten Federer. What do you think that can possibly prove? Are you so ignorant to think that someone who has nothing on his record and who has won only 1 small tournament after RG in 2009 can possibly be compare to Federer or Nadal??? You are MAD!!

[antroig]

come on roger!!!!

[Oopstoobad6275]

oops i forgot to flush

o wait it's just robin soderling

[Mistblinde2]

aww.. jealous? ;) Cute

[robertdegiro]

watch nadal soderling rome and find it out

[robertdegiro]

soderling king of pricks.there are many in this world.GO FEDERER

[astiis]

Robin söderlin own.

[magick001]

[Nrety]

[Satch6strings]

VAMOS FEÑA

[hjalle10]

[alywen06]

[Satch6strings]

i saye i hope cause im chilean lol

[robinQ931028]

bitcheezzz he beat davydenko tooo

in you faces all doubters:D

[schinkelmeyer]

This wasn't Robins day, and yesterday wasn't Rafas day. Can't it be that simple?

[jumba146]

Poor Rafa. Got the crap beat out of him. I would rather Rafa lost in Rome and won against at the French. What a pity!!! Soderling really exposed all the weaknesses in Nadal's game in front of the whole world. Sad day indeed.

[YoSoyZuri]

hahaha!! Keep dreaming maybe in your dreams Nadal will go away!!!! LOL

[VonZeb]

He fucking beated Nadal in French Open, im proud to be from sweden now:D

[wophy]

Wouldn't you be prouder if Nadal had actually played well? no offense but Nadal handed it to Soderling on a plate. Just wait for Soderling to drop out in the next round.

[Jn93Swe]

No offense but Soderling made it hard for Nadal to play his tennis. Soderling Beated Davydenko today to easier than ever before and no one can say Soderling isn't a great player after what he has showed so far in french open

[seidl01]

haha ohhh yes enjoy this day

[YoSoyZuri]

yes and he can talk to his grand children about it because that is all he has!!!! hahahhaha

[UltimateUniverse]

Soderling just biotch slapped nadal out of the french open. LOL

[plstrom]

that big smile at the end was very expressive.. :D

[topspin27es]

Soderling suuuucks!!

[SOROCK666]

why do you enjoy dream about that soderling give you a blowjob?

[Jn93Swe]

Just one little questions, How on earth can he suck when he beats the number one in the world?

[robertdegiro]

he sucks because he is stupid ,not because he is a good player.capici?

[topspin27es]

Exactly!

[0Babeey0Cakees0]

@Jn93Swe then he gets smashed a year later. look, he kinda does suck. only 5 titles and no slams. please, leave it to federer and nadal. mainly nadal ;)

kthanksbye

[atchari2]

Soderling pointed to another mark on the court that wasn't made by rafa in the last shot. Anyone else think he is such a bad cheat for trying to trick the umpire?

[onma243]

did they replay that point??

[Suddkaninen1]

Hawkeye proved that he was right so stop talking bullshit.

[plstrom]

he wasn't right, actually he was wrong in more than one way, the ball was out but he had to discuss in that maner for one mark... not even the point, it was over a mark that he clearly pointed at one more than a meter to the right of the real one...

[yoch120784]

Prends sa dans ta GUEULE Soderling de Merde : 6-1 , 6-0 !

Va apprendre a jouer connard au lieu de te foutre de la gueule du Number One parce ke tu sais meme pas jouer et tu te permets de critiquer et de contester une balle en montrant la mauvaise marque au sol ! Tu nest pas digne d'un pro !

Maintenant ta vu ki est le MAITRE et le PATRON !

FUCK SODERLING

VAMOS RAFA NADAL !

RAFA FOREVER !

[newmark401]

O la la ! T'as vu le match entre Soderling et Nadal à Roland Garros cette année ?

[moni87rogi81]

jaja, lo q habrá disfrutado rafa ganarle a este muchacho, con lo q lo odia, ja!

[bggirl91]

i was convinced that soderling wouldnt have even wanted to approach to the net to shake hands after the match!

[lylscibabe]

Soderling won a game due to the huge goodness from Rafa, who is a kind guy. Besides that, Rafa is also humble, something Soderling will never be... And Rafa doesn't make jokes of anyone. He just wanna play tennis respecting the opponent.

[erTitov]

Ahora vas y te tocas los calzones Söderling.

[Siphodias92]

A journalist asked Nadal:" With whom would you not team up for a double match?" and he said "Soderling".

[amdymon]

that's hilarious!

[berty198]

flawless

[minastronasse]

Nice job, Rafael. Soderling didn't even deserve a single game. Keep coasting along to Roland-Garros, we are waiting for your triumph.
