Nadal vs Nalbandian Miami 2010 Highlights

[pininh0]

incredible ball striking!

[kelman221]

It is a shame everytime a good point ensues and someone is going for a difficult shot some woman in the crowd lets loose some kind of owl screech, so annoying.

[xcoollynch]

@JohnJuanUnited r u serious.. are you sure you are talking about federer? you know what an espn journalist said in a letter of federer's babies. "your father was so humble that it was no shame to lose to him ..infact it became an honour.."

[youziness]

Prime nalbandian would have manhandled nadal, plays similar way as djokovic, same bh same dropshot pose. So much for the stronger era by claimed nadal fans, 07-present is weaker than 01-06. There are many others like prime safin and hewitt, roddick, agassi. Now you have garbage like soderling and fish lol

[t3tsubo]

@youziness if you're comparing people at their prime, well prime roddick/hewitt/nalbandian/safi­n aren't as good as prime federer/nadal/djokovic by a longshot.

[Stylaz21]

@t3tsubo That's just speculation. I think Safin and Nalbandian could handle Djokovic and especially Nadal on hardcourts really well, in fact Nalbandian has proven it on several occassions. Roddick even beat Nadal on a very old age. Hewitt and Roddick in their prime were fantastic grasscourt players, especially when the grasscourts were faster. On clay Nadal, Federer and Djokovic are too good for everybody.

[tomyrosicky]

@t3tsubo Roddick and Hewitt NO, but Safin and Nalbandian yes.

[bdgregorybd]

@tomyrosicky nalbandian didn't have the mental game, Safin definitely though.

[TheMrAwesomeDx]

5:58 that shows Nadal's arrogance.

[AeroSpinGT]

@TheMrAwesomeDx That's not arrogance. He's pumped up like most players would be.

[acalin5]

I just hope Nalbandian stays around for 2 or more years and stays injury free. When he has a good day he plays the most beautiful tennis I ever saw. Too bad that he didn't push himself and improve mentaly and physicaly. Since he turned pro he didn't really improve his game. He played very well in 2002 and 2003 and so on. But whe you look at Nadal how much he has improved over the years, and Federer as well you just feel angry for this Nalbandian. He wasted his talent didn't even try to improve

[babbsukh]

Nalby is a great player, it will be a pity if he retires without a slam.

[centosan1]

1:35 went in?

[FigureOurYourself1]

Nalbandian has the same smoothness as Federer, looks so easy when he plays, when he´s playing well so to speak, same with Roger ofcause! Both great allround players and can hit every! Nalbandian the better backhand, and Roger the much better serve!

[Fukarichief]

it seems like nalbandian plays alot better against top ten players

[MajinVejita]

stop being a slamless david! a quality player like you deserve a slam more than anyone else.

[bjarktron]

@MajinVejita He's recovering from surgery now, taking time off and says he's never felt better physically. I think with his big return in May he will win Roland Garros :)

[soydeespana]

@bjarktron david is definitely a great talent . He isn't that good mentally and physically but c'mon , he is the favourite to win the french ??? lol you must be kidding . The guy can hardly reach the 4th round at the big stages since 2007 . true that he's always injured but every time he plays a grand slam he's recovering lol

[ibanezatleti]

@MajinVejita He will be for ever

Deserves it more than anyone else ??? what about Berdych for example who beat Frauderer and Djokovic at Wimbledon ????? actually he deserves it more than the fat bastard Nalbandian :D

[MajinVejita]

@ibanezatleti how dare you to compare that pussy with nalbandian? lol how many times defeated nalbandian federer? many more than berdych. In his history nalbandian´s achievement are far better than berdych´s.- not to mention he is skillest than that faggot.

[ibanezatleti]

@MajinVejita Oo Pussy ??? Berdych beat Federer and Djoko at Wimbledon ( a grand slam ) Berdych deserves a Slam for that , Did fatbandian ever do it in a slam ? Skillest ? oh are you on drugs ? . Fatbaldian is overrated and a cheating scumbag , look and what he did against Hewitt in 2005 & 2010 .

Even the masters cup he's won is a complete fluke . He didn't qualify and also Hewitt , Nadal , Safin and Roddick withdrew and he played an injured Fagderer in the final , still took him to 5 sets

[rokbunker]

@ibanezatleti You r saying Berdich is better. Hahaaahaha i fell down of a chai cuz of u. U dont know anything about Nalbandian. He is my Idol. He still shows good strokes but he was badly injured for a long while but still he tries his best . He is a great tennis player. BTW Dont forget that he is a genius. His skilss are unbelievable his backhand is the best in history so dont compare him with Berdyych.

[ibanezatleti]

@rokbunker Another retarded Nalby fanboy . Genius ??????????????????? are you on Drugs or coca or what exactly ?? Berdych beat Fagderer and Djoko in a slam , did fagbandian the fat pig do that ?

[rokbunker]

@what about Nalby who defeated top 3 players on Atp rankings at the same tournament. And dont make fun of Federer that is the best player of whole time. U tennis "expert"

[ibanezatleti]

@rokbunker you're 10 , judging by your spelling . Fagderer is a fag , what are you gonna say ?

Nalbandian is the most overrated cunt tennis has ever seen . And I said you dumbfuck that Berdych did it at a slam and fatbandian did his fluke in a bullshit masters tourny .

[crazeh]

@ibanezatleti Nalbandian beat Federer at the 2003 US open.

[ibanezatleti]

@crazeh Faggot , I said Berdych beat 2 top 3 player in a slam . Fatbandian didn't and would never ever do that .

[crazeh]

@ibanezatleti True, Nalbandian has been inconsistent at slams.

[Stylaz21]

@ibanezatleti You mean two consecutive masters tournies. That's pretty good. But Nalbandian is shit in slams, although he reached the final at wimbledon and semifinals at Australia, French Open and US Open.

[ibanezatleti]

@Stylaz21 yeah he's a shithead . He's never beaten two top 10 players in one grand slam tournament . And since 2006 , he's never gone past the 4th round .

[rokbunker]

@ibanezatleti why dont u marry berdych if u like him so much. He lost to fish in 4 round this year in wimbledon. plus berdych had only one good tournament in his career. And u just take a look on the whole career of Nalbandian and he is not fat. Nalbandian was in semi final of every grand slam and berdych only in final of wimbledon and sf oh french open. And im not 10 im 16 and im going into proffesional tennis next year.

[ibanezatleti]

Whoa look who's talking .You don't know jack shit about tennis . Berdych won also the paris tourny back in 2005 beating Ljubicic who made Nalbandian his bitch those days having his H2H number .Get off Fatbandian's dick and learn to speak english , your spelling really sucks monkey ass . And Berdych had a 10 times tougher draw at Wimbledon beating Fagderer and Djoko . Who did Nalbandian face on his fluke way to the final ? Malisse , Lapentti and Sa ? roflmao . Get your head out of fatty's ass

[HornyGates]

@ibanezatleti Beating an old and injured Federer + a Djokovic without any good serve since he was experimenting... to get destroyed by Nadal in one of the most pathetic final of Wimbledon ever! Glory Berdych, the biggest fluke of top 10!

[ibanezatleti]

So with your stats, Malisse and Sa are tougher than Fagderer and Djoko huh ? Fatbandian is a bigger fluke than Berdych . At least Berdych isn't a dumb choker who loses at his best to baggy and Roddick being two sets up . Soderling might be the biggest top 10 fluke , but fatty is a bigger one .Also Fagderer wan't injured you swine . Maybe he was injured in Halle , but at Wimbledon Berdych totally Hammered him from the Baseline , has anybody ever done that to Fagderer in Wimbledon ?

[HornyGates]

@ibanezatleti Federer's moves and shotmaking were absolutely horrible, he was in a totally bad shape. Just watch his first rounds and how bad he was playing... Djokovic was trying some new moves for his serve wich was horrible. Berdych is the biggest fluke! Losing first round of the us open, first round of the french against Stephan Robert, 4th round of Wimbledon against Fish! He's the worst top 10 in GS this year.

[ibanezatleti]

Fagderer had no excuses , he just got outplayed and outpowered by Tomas . It's tough to call this win a ' fluke ' cuz it was at a grand slam tourny , maybe if it was in a 1000 or 500 bullshit tournaments it could be considered a fluke .Berdych isn't a fluke he just destroyed your hero that day , he has to be proud for that . Nalbandian didn't and would never do that , he prays to play a fourth round match in a slam these days . Sadly for him that it would only happen in his pink dreams :d

[pararesis]

@ibanezatleti dude shut the fuck up, you sound like an idiot with your hateful nicknames for great tennis players.. have a little respect for the game and its players, berdych, nalbandian, federer, are all great

[soloquierosignearme]

@ibanezatleti hahaha ok, If you want to call him "Fagderer" it's allright! Call him "Faggy" a faggy with 16 GS in his pocket and still the best player of the century, probably of all times... Berdych? 1 slam final, that's all.. he won't reach a higher playing level..

[ibanezatleti]

@soloquierosignearme NO , you scumbag . I didn't talk about what he achived , i just refered that Tomas's win over fagderer was well deserved . Some of fagderer cock suckers criticized him because of that , he's the only player to beat Federer in this easy way at wimbledon .

[tomyrosicky]

@ibanezatleti Nalbandian beat Federer 8 times. Berdych will NEVER do that. And he beat Nadal, Federer and Dojokovic in the same tournamente. He is CLEARLY better than Berdych.

[ibanezatleti]

@tomyrosicky fatbandian screwed fagderer's ass at wimby , right ? oh wait a minute

[tomyrosicky]

@ibanezatleti But he did in the Us Open and in Asutralia ;). And Madrid, Shangai, Paris, etc.

[rokbunker]

@ibanezatleti ANd Nalbandian was also in final of wimbledon.

[DrSABEE]

pobre david, despues de la operacion no pudo recuperar su nivel

[Luchon20082010]

Even if nalby wasnt at his best in the first set, he took it from a great and in top shape nadal. Good first set though, its a pity nalby wasnt in an acceptable shape to defeat rafa.

[DNX091]

nadal is a beast.



[devilemperor123]

Talent isnt everything...Nadal isnt much talented compared with Nalbandian or Berdych, but he has the stamina and the mind.

[retterol]

@devilemperor123 that's true, he has great stamina, foot speed and consistency, that things make his opponent frustated

[retterol]

@devilemperor123 that's right, he has great stamina, foot speed and consistency, that things make his opponent frustated

[Bonaboms]

my 2 favourite players since '03

[thebharat25]

nalbyyy plzz win a slam

[bengtmartin]

I watched Nalbandian up and close at US Open 2010 and was amazed by the way he uses his wrists on the backhand. The man has got some strong hands. Hope to see a lot more of him 2011!

[DrSABEE]

nalbandian es un jugador que incomoda a cualquiera con su juego incluso a nadal, lastima que su fisico no lo acompañe, porque como se vio en este partido david dejo todo en el primer set y en los siguientes bajo mucho su rendimiento

[FrancoisTrosFort]

nalbandian is genius

[cj397]

@dud321xyz Yes exactly. He's a made player with of course some natural talent to be at the top, but it's mostly his style being programmed to attack the majority of players which are righties. Definitely a lot of hard work combined with natural talent is what makes him amazing.

[cj397]

@dud321xyz i'd just prefer you'd give other players credits where it's due. federer has beaten nadal on clay twice, and just couple weeks ago at the WTF i'm sure you know. I disagreed with your previous post saying "this guy beats him every time." every? no. They're both right the 2 greatest players ever to play the game. it's awesome to be able to live through this tennis era, wont be another one like it in a long time. Now read what i've said thoroughly and you'll see i'm a very neutral fan.

[cj397]

@dud321xyz of course you can say nadal is a "better" player cause of his records of course. watch nalbandian beat djoker, fed, AND nadal in both the 2007 madrid masters and paris masters. Nalbandian definitely has/had the game to be in the top 3, could easily have been a number one. again he never stuck with being consistent. Also, why are you insisting i'm a "die hard fed fan" i'm not at all, i appreciate and enjoy the tennis from every player. and no nadal does not beat him "every time".

[cj397]

@dud321xyz No, i'm not talking about records of tournaments. everyone whos been around tennis for at least ten years knows nalbandian is a very talented player, he never put forth the 110% effort to stay in shape mentally and physically. nadal is amazing player yes and he plays very well and earned everything he has. but nadal is more of a made player, not a natural tennis player, he's very brutal with groundstrokes and has a wonderful style which works for him cause of his natural athleticism.

[cj397]

@dud321xyz Much more talented player yes, everyone who knows tennis knows this, i didn't say he ever performed too well in his tournament records though did i. And no i'm not, show me where i have ever insulted nadal once, EVER. only thing i write about fed is people that somehow like nadal hate on fed terribly for absolutely no reason. These 2 are friends in real life, but the youtube crowd thinks they're like pro boxers and hate eachother for some reason. why hate on fed? appreciate both.

[subzoroboy]

the fore hand at 4:43 damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Even Federer with a very good forehand cant do that

[alearg89]

Damn nalbandian is such a good player but hes so weak mentally, i hope i hope he improves that and make it to the top10

[Axotrotl]

NALBY AND RAFA ARE MY MOST FAVOURITE PLAYERS!!! SO ELEGANT!!! THEY ROCK!!! THEY ARE EQUAL TO FEDERER,THATS ALSO REASON,WHY I LIKE THEM!!!!!!!!!!

[Ralzaly]

wow 2010....Nadal in his prime and Nalbandian back from hip surgery..Nalbandian put up a good fight

[sociologyperiod5]

Nalbandian is definitely underrated

[ffallenaangel]

i didnt know they played this year!VIVA EL RAFA Y DAVID DOS GENIOIS,

PD: SOY ARGENTINO

[slamandjam2]

gotta say that if nadal wasnt around fed would be pushing 30 majors right now

[tallerescba777]

El único problema de David con Nadal es que se queda sin nafta. Es díficil aguantarle el ritmo al español.

[ElectricanMV]

@tallerescba777 lo mismo que le pasa a Roger con Nadal en canchas lentas y cada vez más en rápidas.

[kaztle13]

shiit where can i buy a backhand like nalbandian´s lol

[hattrickster33]

Why isn't Nalbandian in the top 10??

[cj397]

@hattrickster33 injuries. this guy is one of the cleanest hitters in the world, and has beautiful power spin and accuracy. gorgeous player

[hattrickster33]

@cj397 Yea he can beat Federer down easily.

[cj397]

@hattrickster33 ya know his head 2 head with fed?

[hattrickster33]

@cj397 It's 8-10 for Fed but Fed has almost never had injury problems.

[cj397]

@cj397 what bandwagon though?

where have i ever stated that i was a "die hard" federer fan and disliked nadal.

can you show me one video where i commented and said that?

oh..you can't? that's right.

[awesomerepublican]

8:26 SICK point.

[agustinnsl]

mas clase y tecnica que David, no hay nadie en el mundooo

COMO TE BANCO CAMPEEEONNN!

[kurtmandos66]

Nalbandian let Nadal win plus he wasent in great shape! Nadal cant beat Nalbandian on hard if he is on form. He has Nadals number!

[Jamus182]

@kurtmandos66 No nalbandian didnt let nadal win, it takes more than just ball striking to beat nadal. If nadlbandian is fully fit, then he will always have a great chance to beat nadal, but only on hard, and only if david plays at or close to his best. When you play rafa, you have to beat him, because unlike federer, he will not beat him self by missing, which is why he is very consistant

[kurtmandos66]

@Jamus182 You got a solid point. Also I made a mistake I was refering to the match in 2009. In that match David clearly choked and let Rafa win the last set. 6-0. And no I´m not saying a fully fit Nalbandian will beat Rafa on Clay on a regular basis thats not gonna happen. I have picked Nadal to win US OPEN. Lets see!

[Jamus182]

@kurtmandos66 thats fair, I agree with the 09 match though. Nalbandian has generally been the nearly man. I know people say you need to be stronger mentally to win a slam, but look at safin :), for me nalby's biggest problem has been his serve, its just not devestating enough, but is also why he has done better indoors, cos the indoors surface generally makes serves better

[michaelbron]

nalbandian backhand > nadal forehand

[nanananalalala]

@michaelbron nah but its close. his backhand tho is by far the best backhand in the game, maybe even all time. but its not better than nadals forehand cus thats prob also the best forehand all time. if his backhand was better than nadals forehand then nalbandian would be the nr 1 player every yr loll.

[cj397]

@nanananalalala nadal's forehand is definitely not the best forehand of all time, nowhere close.

Federer's is.

look at videos of it, and no i''m not a "FED FAN!!!"

i'm talking about technique, style, and finesse.

nadal's just muscling the ball with heavy topspin, almost moonballing, a lot of the time with that reverse forehand of his. but nadal does hit normal topspin forehand winners a lot as well which is good good

[nanananalalala]

@cj397 funny how u say ur not a fed fan while on ur channel ur buddys with fed fans and have fights with about every nadal fan lolll. that alone says enough about how serious i take ur opinion on nadals forehand compared to feds. we can argue about this all time but im not like those other kids. it all comes down to the fact that nadal is gonna break feds record and thats the core reason why fed fans hate him so much. which i can understand but dont be mad at his fans then but at him.

[Jamus182]

@nanananalalala In fairness, nadal's forehand is not the best forehand ever. And if nalbandians backhand was better than (which when it is on, it is), there is no way david would be world number 1 cos he doesnt have the attitude. Nadal is world number 1 because of his work ethic, not talent, which is more than enough to be a tennis great, because so many tennis players hit the same shots, but dont have it between the ears like nadal does. You also have no idea that nadal is going to break...

[nanananalalala]

@Jamus182 goin into a debate with a fed fan is like tryin to teach language to a disabled person loll. im sorry but if u put 3 comments containing so many words and rants, then no one is gonna take the time to read them, take u seriously and then respond. so lets just sit back, enjoy the tennis rafa and fed are gonna give us in coming yrs. and when they both retired we simply compare their nr of slams etc and we can see whos the best of all time for once and for all. peace.

[Jamus182]

@nanananalalala Dont couple me as one of those gay 'fed fans', i am a bigger tennis fan, and i was picking out flaws in your arguments, stating your opinons as basic facts, when they totally look like a completely biased, unobjective statement. I've got a feeling I know more about tennis, and probably have played to a higher level (although I dont believe that should have any bearing on anyones argument so long as they know what they are talking about, which certainly appears that you dont)...

[Jamus182]

@nanananalalala than you m8, so dont think you've taken the high road by saying what you've said. If your gonna be deaf to a balanced argument your showing your ignorance, what I said was not a rant (unlike this one) and unlike you, my knowledge on tennis isnt limited to the 500 character count, so get your thumb out our ass (as well as rafa's) and get a clue about tennis. You'll probs say your too good to read this and show you ignorance

And btw, i have never once called rafa a bad player..

[Jamus182]

@nanananalalala I just happen to go against ignorant people who make themselves sound like they know what they're talking about

[nanananalalala]

@Jamus182 lolll i just my inbox, i didnt have 3 but like 9 reactions from u hahaha. u need mental help man.

[Jamus182]

@nanananalalala :) mature

[nanananalalala]

@Jamus182 not as mature as u ofcourse, ranting like a 12 yr old kid that got his toy stolen. i bet u cry like ur idol loll.

[Jamus182]

@nanananalalala ????? (i supose you can have the last word then son)

[nanananalalala]

@Jamus182 lolll and u claimed i was not mature. love ur style my nigga.

[cj397]

@nanananalalala Lol read your comments, you look like an idiot.

and you said the word "nigga"

hahahahaahahahhahaha 

[nanananalalala]

@cj397 whos needs a life now? my god i realllllllllly got under ur skin didnt i loll wow.

enjoy the bandwagon

[Jamus182]

@nanananalalala .....federers record. He has played so much physical tennis, and is only half way, regardless of age he still has a massive way to go.

For people like John Macnore, federers forehand is the greatest shot, not just forehand in tennis history. Currently, nadal has the best forehand in the world, because federers has just become so inconsistent, but when the forehand is one, I doubt you could find any other shot in any other sport, that is so devistating but you wont agree wont tht

[ElectricanMV]

@michaelbron but nowadays nadal's backhand > david's forehand

[AceGuitarR7]

@ElectricanMV no way.... 

[cj397]

@ElectricanMV no way dude. give guys credit where it's due. jesus

[adictaltennis]

amazing quality from both

[alucoq]

Poor Nalbandian he ran up and down like whore´sdrawers

[msouzafon2]

Nadal's formjula: lost the first set? don't worry. The other guy has a limited amount of energy, while the Spaniard never tires.

[FallenAui]

Nalbandian is such an amazing player. So good to see him hit that well again after so many problems... Hope he can get back to where he was, keep it up...

[fonsvanhalsema]

Nalbandian is Dangerous !! ;p

[sortirsonvit]

Nabandian looks very upset after winning the first set. I love this tennis player

[incredibleXMan]

@sortirsonvit Probably knew he couldn't go on much longer.

[ljhokk]

@sortirsonvit yes but I think that injury come on top because at that time he has not played much.He works hard but lose the match so bad for him

[jazzswingsoulblues]

Nalbandian is such a smooth player... nice ground strokes

[alearg89]

Nalbadian looks fucked up, hope he gets better soon

Nalbandian esta echo mierda, adelgasa gordo XD

[fejuncor]

nalbandian is genius

[WLANCHLAFORD]

@fejuncor

true....

then again,

Nadal is so much better,

so much better than genius

[ElectricanMV]

@WLANCHLAFORD you don't need to have higher skills to be better than someone. If the other one doesn't take advantage of his higher skills, is a different thing.

[cj397]

@WLANCHLAFORD no he is not. david is much more talented.

he's good at being consistent and winning matches.

he's not "so much better"

grow up

[dufresne23]

@fejuncor why is he??

[GyariSan]

Nalbandian looks old and tired now :( I hope he can win a grand slam this year

[VamosRafa16]

nalbandian's got one of the best backhands on tour, thats why fed and nadal have had alot of trouble with them in the past. But rafa's such a great competitor so not many can touch him on a good day. SICK forehand by nalbandian at 3:33, gotta love the half ass challenge by rafa right after lol.

[cote111]

LO MEJOR MARCELO RIOS!

[hypothesis09]

the thing I like about nalbandian is that he can beat any player > wherever and whenever ..

He is one of the biggest talents of all time ..

[9tails23]

true, just a waste of talent, and lack of motivation

[asdfuogh]

I hope Nalbandian wins the French Open... but I don't think he is fit enough to win seven matches in a row on the red clay.. but we'll see!

[wat870]

@asdfuogh as opposed to errr...blue clay?

[asdfuogh]

@wat870 well, blue clay does exist... but i was just describing the clay...?

[JiraiyaSama86]

So funny when Rafa lets out that similar groan that Nalbandian did in the end. It's like wenevr they hit the ball on the stretch, a certain way, or miss like Nalbandian did that last one, they let out that weird groan. lol

[nasthek156]

rafa is seriously gettin dangerous, he appears to be back on track

[fbinsulation]

... gotta feel sorry for David :( With Rafa playing like that who knows who can beat him, except for his own knees

[VAMOSRAFA231]

nalbandian is one of the most skilled players in the world, too bad he doesn't have Rafa's fitness.

[kdemeanor]

Excellent to see both of these guys back in fighting form.

Nalbandian's had some brilliant victories in the past- hope he stays fit.

[MetallFan7]

Im happy that Nalbandian has returned, he´s a good player.

[milot1masha]

when I saw Nalbandian won that first set I was like yeah he got this match in the bag..but then the comeback from Nadal and David seemed like he stopped..

[Ashot007Armenian]

great comeback from Nalbandian. But He must work harder on his fitness.

[tbobc29]

Good performance from both players (sad to see Nalbandian collapse like that, but this is the first tournament that he's been free of pain since hip surgery). Hope Nadal reclaims his French and Nalbandian can get back to top 10 again.

[torretlord]

@tbobc29 he won 2 days ago

[jeanW89]

i love u rafa!!

[SolidarityKnight]

good rafa good.......now ferrer
