  • this is typical Nadal - whining about his injuries and all dramatics before the tournament, but be sure in semi finals he'll be running like a rabbit, piece of shit liar he is

  • @Mirren81 Shut up, you don't know what you're talking about. Nadal plays as hard as he can for almost the whole year... he is bound to get injuries. He is just tough enough to work his way through the tournament. He has a work ethic and is way too honest to lie. It is only ignorant people like you who think he is faking it... I bet you are a Federer fan.

  • @mccma306 if you had a clue youd know that it was brought up by another cunt not me , hahaha dominats in everyway aye ? ok why isnt their no american player number 1 in tennis ? why does america need help from "the island" country when they get the shit bombed outta them ? hahah cunt sit the fuck down and stop jerking your cock and ahave another burger you fat cunt ;)

  • @serbianpupil you seem to have a wierd obsession with me being mad because no aussie guys have won slams? get the pole outta your ass bro i couldnt care less hahaha every time i watch a slam i go for federer to win it when he lost in the semis at the us last year and at the aussie open this year i didnt watch the final because i was gonig for federer so go chew on your serbians dick some more faggot :)

  • @serbianpupil LOL whats this got to do with me liking my own australin players idiot ? ive said that i don't care of australian tennis players ive always had roger as my favourite WAY before ive talked to you , you seen his mansion and met him good on you cunt , i just lol at the fact your bad mouting novak yet you have photos of him on your youtube yep good work their dude :)

  • @MrWalto69 You're so pathetic you bastard. What has this to do with me having Djokovic photos? I never saw any Swiss guy just like me who disrespected Federer in any way. I can say he's my compatriot you male hooker, but you just stay a faceless troll who just sees him in the media. If you didn't get it by now, you cannot upload two pics on Youtube. But yeah, I say you pissed everyone of here. You're just a bastard, you're a computer gangster.

  • @Serbianpupil naw whats matter little baby upset ? having a teary ? ;) hahah mate british people dont talk like me us aussies are the only ones who can handle the heat you've just let me win by getting sucked in and having a bitch fit over the net yep great job buddy ;) i dont give a fuckwhat you say anyways cunt you dont say nothing thats the truth your a bullshitter simple i came on here and owned your ass and now your sooking cause you cant handle the truth deal with faggot !

  • @MrWalto69 You faggot.LOL Instead if you I can say that I met Federer face to face, that I saw his mansion and know exactly where he lives here in Switzerland.I can say that I'm also Swiss and that means Fed is my compatriot.I won't and I never have disrespected Fed's abilites to play tennis.I just don't know why you foreign guys cannot cheer up for your own players?Yes,cuz my compatriot Fed kicked Hewitt's and Tomic's asses whenever they met.And my other compatriot Nole is now number 1#

  • @BoxyTheSpaceDog are you talking to me about me lacking kmowlegde ? if so dude i know alot more than you will ever know , dude i dont care about aussie players in tennis my favourite is roger i couldnt care about australian tennis ,people go on about how good stosur is but she wins a us open and went out in the first round in aussie open , ? 1 hit wonder,

  • @MrWalto69

    You cannot know more than me since I am graduated architect who has been educated abroad. I speak 3 foreign languages,I was competing and still am involved in various sports.

  • @BoxyTheSpaceDog Bro he's a pissed dude who cannot cheer up for his own compatriots.You're probably a smart guy like we Serbs usually are.I also speak 3 foreign languages. XD How you been?

  • @serbianpupil

    They dislike us foreigners here(not accepting that they at one stage were also foreigners themselves).They even got names for us like Wogs etc.I can't post lengthy replys

  • @explodingpimp oh yeah btw nice youtube name haha fuck i wish i was a cool as you , explodingpimp? obviously if your an american you couldntr get a women if you tried awkward for you cunt haah

  • @MrWalto69

    He has the point!I live in Australia and media is very biased and one sided so I don't blame you for your lack of knowledge in/of this sport,but one thing can't be denied Novak is Worlds NO-1 player.Better than Nadal,Federer or anybody on the tour for that matter!Nadal vs Novak h2h is in Nada's favor 17:13 but Nadal lost 7 times in finals(either Masters or Grand Slams) to Novak in a row!You as "true blue"should worry about Aussie's in tennis 'cause it's in bad shape mate.

  • @BoxyTheSpaceDog Thanks for sticking up for me bro. Btw, Rafa leads h2h against Nole 16:14. Lol, this guy is just mad, XD. I think he's pissed cuz there isn't any Australian guy who recently won a slam or is succesful right now. Maybe he's just pissed cuz there seems to be no hope for Aussie guys to become a slam winner cuz of the strong competition right now. I do not know why fans often boast with foreign guys, lol! He seems to be helpless!

  • @serbianpupil

    Instead of financing domestic tennis programs,they buy(with passports and claim of great living standard)foreign players.Sport,education,health is still struggling here.

  • @BoxyTheSpaceDog That's funny. Seems they do it, but there isn't any Aussie player near Nole's level now. You think Tomic is gonna make it big? I doubt it!

  • @serbianpupil

    Tomic forced his way into Devis Cup Team by his father threatening to leave for croatia after Hewitt had objections.Just few weeks ago he was involved with police,a prick.

  • @BoxyTheSpaceDog LOL Saying a prick is understated. Seems like the server is fully stretched. In fact these are British guys who escaped to Australia. I see how similiar it is to British English.

  • @explodingpimp yeah wanna tell the spineless cunt whos bad mouting federer that your a deadset cockhead mate first of all my point im saying aboutnadal is that he cant beat novak you tel what i nadals recor against novak since 2011and federer leads their head to heads if you take the clay matches out i think nadals a great player and yes the best clay player is he the best ever no , and as for the american comment need i say more ? your a american and you stick your nose infuckhead, u mad bro?

  • @andross637 fact : Nadal had a eaiser game then novak did in the semis this aussie open , novak barely beat murray , nadal had a extra day of and he still couldnt beat Novak , didnt novak collapse after a point in the 5th setand still won ? haha sucks to be nadal , he might lead h2hs but whats the current streak now? novak leading 7-0 ? or is it 8-0? hahaha

  • @MrWalto69 Do you realize that while you're sitting on the computer writing hateful comments like a pathetic jackass, Rafa is doing great things with his life? Did it ever cross your mind that no matter how many comments you write, Rafa will always be considered a legendary player, one of the greatest of all time, and the greatest clay court player ever? When will you understand that you will always be a sad little American-hating pussy and Nadal will always be remembered as a legend?

  • @serbianpupil haha how am i losing my temper ? im talking the way i talk if you dont like the way i talk get fucked , ill speak how i want to , no dude im not british im australian we dont take peoples shit , your serbian cross switz arnt you ? well so you say i bet your a weak american haha , bottom line is youcan throw shit around but youcant take it , learn to live with the truth buddy your a shitcunt who knows nothing :)

  • @MrWalto69 Shut your mouth.I never said you're American. Fuck of you asshole you cunt. You have something against Swiss Serbian guys? I do not care. I'm not gonna hate on or Australians, I say you're shit and talk shit. If you didn't get it, I wrote that you're British cuz you sound like one. You're ignorant, I do not care about you're opinion. Screw you bastard!

  • @serbianpupil stfu nigger

  • @Cyberdine101 Shut your mouth you bastard!

  • @serbianpupil only if you suck my balls with your big nigga lips?

  • @Cyberdine101 Pathetic faceless troll you fucking bastard, you're just like the dumbass MrWalto69.

  • @serbianpupil and im 100% postive that federer woukld've owned novak if he beat nadal in the semis in aussie open this year , nadal even had a a extra day and still lost hahahaha what a worry for spain ,

  • @serbianpupil lets look then shall we if french open novak and federer was a final then federer would';ve won it seeing how he beat novak , they didnt face each other at wimbledon , 2010 and 2011 us open federer had 2 match points in both games , nadal might have beat novak in 2010 but federer was the only one last year who took it to novak , novak killed nadal in the us final ,

  • @Serbianpupil haha wrong again wimp Nadal currently leads Federer head to head 18-9 and out of the 27 matches they have played 14 clay matches and nadal has won 12 of the 14 and thats what 12 clay wins from 18 wins in total ? take clay nadal and federer have played 13 times with federer leading 7-6 fuckjob :) suck on that ,

  • @serbianpupil you keep on saying that nadal rapes federer everytimeyeah ? isnt 75% of their matches been on clay idiot ? lol and fuck i would much rather be federer than nadal whats nadal against novak 0-7 or 8 since 2011 ? i think we both know that if federer was in the finals that nadal wasagainst novak he would've taken atleast 1 of novak not fail everytim like nadal haha

  • @MrWalto69 Lol,you sound very biased.Well,50% of their meetings were on clay.XD And you proved your point again being subjectiv.You can't tell if Federer would won 1 out of 3 finals against Djokovic.

  • @MrWalto69 Novak escaped Nadal by a hair at the Aussie open, and anyone who says otherwise is simply drinking their own Kool Aid. Nadal's still ahead in their h2h's... just to clear that up.

  • @serbianpupil cool story bro now i know your fucked in the head your saying me and federer fans think he can't lose? hahayour a wankstain dude i never said federer was unbeatable im saying if you think Nadal beat federer his own way then you have no clue federer lost because he lost the match , he had breaks to maintian many times and never consoladated then simple ,.

  • @MrWalto69 You're a complete moron.Why can't you write in a normal way?Why getting upset and showing your temperament.I'm trying to be reasonable but you're always offending me.Is that normal in your society?You're probably and you speak British English.You got to respect other opinions and not to offend people just because they don't share the same opinion with you.That's not nice.

  • @serbianpupil im being immature? righto buddy haha you've came on this video to talk shit about federer , fair enough yuou dont like him dont bother writing your bullshit on here this video is about nadal returning a pass , eveyrone is owning you in their replys and you keep bitching like a little bitch , go suck on that dick you sucking on faggot :) FED FOR LIFE CUNT !

  • @MrWalto69 Lol,cool for becoming more rude you moron. XD You didn't read anything. I'm from Switzerland,I'm Serbian Swiss and I respect Federer as I do respect Nadal and Djokovic. But considering that I'm from Switzerland,I cannot disrespect Federer.But I'm not boasting like you guys who don't have any connection with him.I know where he lives in Switzerland,I saw his mansion,I met him personally.You Fed fanboys are the most biased ones.When I talked him he said he's only human and can lose,too.

  • @serbianpupil oh im getting funnier am i? coming from the kid whos deleting his comment haha now thats FUNNY, i just think its funny how someone with a novak photo and has serbian in hius name is bad mouthing federer whats the matter little serbian jealous of roger ? ;)

  • @serbianpupil your getting defensive right now stop crying you faggot , you can say itr but cant take it , everyone your replying to is owning you and you contiune to embarrss yourslef haha sad cunt , what happened at the french open buddy ;)

  • @serbianpupil now federer at 30 was STILL giving Novak trouble and was the first man last year to beat him , didnt nadal have a 0-6 record against novak last year? and novak beat nadal on clay ? nadal had a extra day of in the aussie final and novak still beat him had it been federer novak wouldnt stand a chance just stating the facts bro :)

  • @serbianpupil dude look at the majors last year ,novak beats federer in aussie open in 3 CLOSE sets , Federer beats Novak in roland in 4 sets Novak beats nadal at wimbledon final in 4 sets,Novak beats roger in 5 sets at us open federer had 2 Match points and 2 match points in their 2010 semi final in us , he beats nadal in the final in 4 ,

  • @serbianpupil obviously youyr a novak fan by your picture and name , everyone knows novak has trouble against federer but dominats nadal ,i give credit to novak for beating nadal having a day less rest but if it was roger he would've smashed novak just saying kid dont have a teary ;)

  • @MrWalto69 There is a huge difference between being an ordinary fan and a fanatic. Federer doesn't give Djokovic any trouble like he used to do before 2011.Overall they're pretty much equal since Djokovic has gotten out of the teenager age. We all know that Djokovic dominates Federer and Nadal since 2011. I'm not lying. I don't deal with subjectiv opinions, but I deal with facts. Djokovic leads in h2h 5-1 against Federer in 2011. That's dominance!

  • @MrWalto69 Saying that I'm fucked up in the head just cuz I'm saying Rafa owns Fed in h2h isn't an insult?Grew up.I' don't cry.Nole won the last two AO meetings against Fed 3-0 each,so you're clueless

  • Comment removed

  • @MrWalto69 Mate.. How much time do you spend on the computer??

  • @serbianpupil dude i aint insulting you your saying that Nadal beat Federer yeah? every idiot knows Federer has trouble agasint nadal but we werent talking about that , despite the score line the fact is federer lost the game if Nadal and produce 50_+ errors he wouldve lost , federer was the better player in sets 1 and 3 and even the start of the second but failed to maintain breaks ,

  • @MrWalto69 Lol,you're getting more and more ridiculous.We we're talking about Nadal and Fed and then you promptly changed the topic and twist that we're talking about Nole.You're getting funnier,XD.

  • @serbianpupil if you belive that then your pretty fucked in the head dude haha , look at the stats of that game , Federer aced nadal on winners and aces , but had 50+ unforced errors ,and look at federers tournament before nadal was perfect nadal lost a set to berdych? and couldnt even beat novak and he had a extra day rest over novak? i thought nadla was the fittest ? haha allez FEDERER !federer lost because he lost the game nadal did nothing good but hit the ball back thats it

  • Comment removed

  • wow he hit the ball over the net. Very interesting and skilful...

  • Comment removed

  • Hello back to you.

  • After all these years of playing against Nadal, he should have expected that ball to come back.

  • @prabodhR tennis is not gay but guess who is?- begins with y and ends with u

  • tennis is gay

    

  • @PrabodhR you are gay

  • @PrabodhR rugby is gay

  • @PrabodhR okhtak is gay

  • @PrabodhR Obvious troll is obvious.

  • ..and Nadal goes home defeated by Djoko!

  • VAMOS RAFA 2012 !!!

  • amazing shot wow

    youtube.com/watch?v=_i4fmRcvPz­I

  • pathetic slow court, clay is even faster than this shit

  • if only he can do this to djoko

  • Federer is the punching bag of Nadal

  • NOVAJ DJOKOVIC,,POZDRAV IZ HRVATSKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Beep beep, the roadrunner

  • 52 fedtards doesnt like it

  • Federer setup the point well ....good serve, good return and good volley........but he forgot that the guy at the other end was RAFAEL NADAL.

  • @mroshanali You can't serve and return in the same point, and by the way that was an overhead not a volley...

  • @gecek987 there records don't mean shit look at it as @MyLordJohan said its 12-2 on clay for nadalfederer has the upper hand against him in all other court surfaces i think they are tied on hard courts not surfaceis no matter how good fed is playing he will always struggle against nadal because of nadals game style nadal didnt win this match roger lost it with 50+ unforced errors but he made more aces and winners then nadal i hope Roger rebounds back from this his still got a slam or 2 in him

  • @MrWalto69 LOL I think you're very pathetic cuz you're critisizing Nadal's game. I mean he didn't lose in a major against Federer since 2007.The only surface Federer leads is on grass, he leads 2-1, but this comes from the fact that they didn't play on grass each other since 2008 in Wimbledon where Nadal won. Federer didn't lose cuz of his own inabilities, he lost because of the fact that Nadal returned so well. When you think you got the point, then Nadal brings the ball back even faster!

  • Roger after Shot, ShucknfrucknpeiceofshitnadalI"  (Mumbled under his breath)

  • Y U NO LIKE EGGBASKET?

  • To eX

  • Vamos Rafa.:))

  • Hello Federer! 2 years slamless

  • @esteban86ish sucks nadal. looks down on Sampras and past players. arrogant smug. too noisy annoying. fake time-out. gamesmanship. selfish. sucks 2-years-ranking. arrogant annoyi ng blind fans. asshole

  • @cheaterNadal dude... you've been making these same comments on various vids for over a year. Are you kidding me!? lol either learn grammar or come up with some new criticisms. You fail even as a troll hahaha

  • @weej266 cheaterNadal is too biased dude. He thumbs his own comments up on his own. I'm a Djoker fan, but I also respect other tennis players.

  • nadalnadalnadalnadal <3333333

  • always the same shit with Nadal... it seems like ive seen this like 250 times, 5meters behind the line,always dominated, and desperate passing. Sad tennis.

  • @MyLordJohan Well, have you ever heard the term - Good defense is the best offense? Yeah, but Federer not being able to score in this situation is really sad. He should quit, while he still has some pride left.

    And about you - sad, sad idiot!

  • @gecek987 Yes ive heard those all-made sentencies in some movies of stuff like that but not in sports definitely. Federer played it well but Nadal is just too fast and the court too slow,made for long rallies, show.., so it advantages Rafa's tennis. I criticize Nadal's play style, not the man whom Ive a lot of respect for, so you have nothing to say about Federer's pride and his vision of tennis. But its always the same with pro-federer and pro-nadal,only haters although they are close friends.

  • @MyLordJohan well, I'm not pro-either... but when I see someone commenting on Nadal vs. Federer I can't understand why and how can there be any pro-federer. I mean, 18-9 and people still mention federer's name??? wtf?!?!

    And i think, that there are many ways/tactics one can play in tennis, so what's the point on criticizing Nadal's game when Federer has like 9 reasons (at least) more to be criticized.

  • @gecek987 I think you are wrong... Federer actually has 6 reasons (At least) for not being criticized. 16 reasons..

  • it is women championship ?

  • Federer absolutely mentally faded in this match, but what else is knew against Rafa.

  • Nice. Match, Set. Gingrich you lost today in Florida. Time to bow out like a good sport. There's a funny yt spoof of gingrich called Frankie Reveals Secrets.

  • if he had used his left-hand, he would have reached the ball. tennis men need to learn how to use both hands.

  • video game shot!

  • this  is such an underrated sport

  • But you still lost to Djokovic.

    HAHAHAHA

  • This is a D10S!!!!

  • good........

  • check out my video

  • That's crazy! I didn't know cricket is that intense!

    Check out our *Parody* of the Incredible Ball Boy Catch on our YouTube Channel. =D

  • Federder still my favourite!

  • Roger Federer has 43 YouTube accounts?

  • @siddharthjoshi91  that is just getting old now and not funny....

  • .....lol...I love em both. and I love Djoker...but I just want them both to team up and take Novak out, xD. Hes made a fool of them for too damn long(esp.Nadal) Just you wait Novak, in a couple years you will get that player that you just cant beat....sigh...im so damn bitter from that loss. Love u Nadal.

  • i am confident federer can adapt to the slower courts and win a few more slams

  • Without a doubt the shot of the tournament.

  • Oh I love Nadal--

  • that can't be nadal, he's too quiet

  • Wow Nadal :00

  • ball boy would reach it

  • Too much needless arguing. Relax and enjoy the amazing show. These guys are all superhuman champions.

  • @s900203 even Hewitt during this match commented that, this year was the slowest Aus Open court he has ever played on in his entire 16 appearances there.

  • @omgfool1 So did they literally redo the courts? Or were there external factors like temperature, humidity, etc.?

  • I dont know any player older than agassi and sampras, but my ranking of the players in the last 20 years: federer, sampras, agassi, nadal, djokovic, courier, rafter, hewitt, safin, kuerten,

  • @joseph0086 You're the funniest fanboy fanatic I've ever seen.I saw you on other vids cheering up for Federer and saying you're his fan.Now you act like you're a Nadal fan just to tell Federer is better at his peak than Nadal.Wow,just wow.You're so pathetic.Didn't know Fed fans are even hiding now,lol.I don't know what's wrong about admitting that you're a Fed fanboy.Hiding and lying about it just to make Nadal looking worse is so silly.My gosh,didn't know that Federer fans became that crazy.

  • The modern game is favoring physical players like Djok, nadal, and murray..etc. But one thing is true: Federer can play well either in modern or classical tennis. Assuming all players at their best, Fed has 60% chance against Agassi, he may lose to sampras on grass but can beat him in all other surfaces. As said, Fed wouldn't lose to Djokovic. Fed can easily beat nadal in all surfaces except clay. Though I love nadal, I admit Fed's the best. Even Nadal himself admits this fact! let's admit it!

  • @joseph0086 Rafa is always modest and generous with his comments when it comes to Roger, so take that comment with a grain of salt. Roger is the best candidate for #1 indoor hard court player of all time, followed closely by JMac and Lendl. Pete all day on fast grass, as Rafa or Bjorn on slow clay. Outdoor hard is a bit of a toss-up, and still yet to be determined...

  • One commentor here told the truth. The modern game has changed a lot. This Djokovic couldn't beat Federer, Agassi, Safin at their best. Those who said Fed is worse than Nadal doesn't make sense to me (i am a fan of nadal). Nadal could never win 16 slams and he won't play at the same level as what the 30-year-old Federer is doing. The same can be said for Djokovic. Those who said Djok is better than Fed is a joke. Djo is better than Fed right now. But not better than Fed at his peak.

  • @joseph0086 no one is better than federer at his peak

  • @sarasmilepiano : 1. Rafa was on his way to 16 until Novak raised his game 2. I agree with the second part because Roger has managed his body (his is less prone to injury) well. That being said, I don't think having the most GS is the sole determinant for "best-ever" or "GOAT"- in fact, there is no such thing. Tennis is one-on-one combat, so the head-to-head record is very relevant when comparing players. Since it is impossible to directly judge players of different eras 

  • @sarasmilepiano ...since they never played each other (ie- Laver vs Sampras), saying who would come out on top is just an educated guess. In this case, we have Rafa, Roger, and we have to throw in Novak in the discussion here playing at the same time, in the same era! Not taking anything away from Roger- he's doing incredible things, but who's to say that if he played in Pete and Andre's prime, he would have won Wimbledon and the US Open that many times?

  • Que bárbaro ! Parece argentino!

  • @VTMProd Porque?

  • Although as big a Nadal fan I am, I personally feel he has passed his peak since last year. My guess is that he will slowly fade away in the near future. He will turn 26 this year. I just hope he will keep his french open this year and probably next year, also probably one more wimbledon this year or next. Though he could not beat Djok this time, it was close and it seemed to me that his head is now clear against him. On clay, probably he will beat Djok by playing a 7-hour match.

  • @joseph0086 Rafa's Achilles Heel are his knees. This part of the human body is not to meant to take that kind of punishment day-in and day-out. And after that brutal match vs Novak, Rafa is quite right to take a month off- his body needs it and a wise move if he is looking to extend his career and play relatively injury-free. As to passing his prime, he is still in it, I believe, although this may be his last year.

  • I actually think that nadal's forehand got weaker since last year, it partly explained how he got himself into trouble on the way to win his frrench open. And the extra efforts required for the french open made him pay for the Wimbledon. At Wimbledon,I felt he was certainly not at his best (and also mentally he was beaten by Djok). In this AUS 2012, I felt he played a bit better than US 2011. But I don't think he will get back to his best forehand (at 2007-2008).

  • @joseph0086 Really? In my mind, Rafa's forehand has always been solid. It's his backhand and serve that has shown some hesitancy in the tight moments- although both was pretty reliable in Australia.

  • What's happening Roger? :P

  • @Julence1998 old age creeping up on him
