  • The Rafa you see there is proof of building block, he did not just go off and watch some pro on tv and started the hitting the ball hard... He got fitter, then he mastered these basic shots and then and only then that he mastered some more and then tried these new things out.

  • I dont get why it says rafa is 17 at this point when his bday is in june which is during the french... and since monte carlo is a warm up for french rafa should be 16 at this point turning 17 the same year ... so rafa is 16 at this point right? or was the schedule pushed this year??

  • Nadal:

    Carrer Price Money 38.277 Dollar...

    xP

  • Well, this Nadal proved to be a one win wonder... Poor guy, I bet he's watching the top guys like Federer and Rafa with envy nowadays.

  • Ay diosito!! qué emoción de ver los inicios del REY de la tierra batida, en su rostro y actitud sé dislumbra la semilla del Campeón qué es.La cara del actual capitán de CD Albert Costa, es todo un poema.Gracias @mirsasha por hacernos felices con este video

  • What a fluke win, he accomplished nothing after this.

  • Vamos RAFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • He was actually 16 here.

  • @cj397 then don't include Roger Federer for grass dominance. it has been stated again and again that the grass was changed in 2001 and that is around when Federer started winning. Only Pete Sampras was the true master of Wimbledon. the real Wimbledon. as for Nadal being a clay courter for ever, from what I know, a clay courter is a term used only for those who win only on clay and almost nothing else. 4 out of his 9 grand slams are other surfaces. so time to drop the term.
