Yeah Nadal takes part in 5 matches that are easily top 10 matches in tennis history by any body's book: Nadal vs Federer 2008 Wimbledon. Nadal vs Verdasco 2009 AO Nadal vs Djokovic 2012 AO Nadal vs Djokovic 2018 Wimbledon Nadal vs Djokovic 2013 Roland Garros. He's easily the best player in bringing intensity and drama to tennis matches, and also doesn't hurt that he's the GOAT now that he equaled the Grand slam record. Nadal is a once in a lifetime sportsman.

I got a ticket to centre court for this match! My first time at Wimbledon. Was hoping to see Federer but he was moved to Court One and I ended up seeing this which ended up being one of the greatest five setters I've ever seen. Definitely preferred it to Rafa's semi with Djokovic. Delpo's running forehands clipping the line were unreal to witness in person...

Nadal had always been great on grass. That's why he made to the final of every Wimbledon tournament he entered from 2006-2011, and won the title twice. It's just that after 2011, he had a run of bad luck at the at Wimbledon.

@turinturambar501 10 ай бұрын

Nadal chained 5 straight finals in his young days winning 2. First 3 against Prime Federer, of which he won the last one, and last one against Prime Djokovic. He's missed some years because of injury (he won in 2008 and 2010 but skipped 2009). He had a draught for 5 years or so, but last three times he's reached the SF: in 2018 playing arguably better than Djokovic, in 2019 playing great against Federer and in 2022 having to withdraw due to injury. Nadal was considered in 2012 already top 10 grass players of all time.

I really don't know what exactly it is about Delpo that makes him so likeable. On court he was a beast and then off court he just seems so nice, like a guy you'd love to share a drink with. I can't say that about a lot of tennis players. Even Federer and Nadal who are known for their ultimate sportsmanship are still very serious guys most of the time, Delpo always just let his emotions flow and it was great to see. he roared in victory and cried in defeat and both made us love him just the same
