He just beat de minaur, and even if u say that de minaur was having an off day, nadal is still playing like top 30 on clay.

I am glad Medvedev spoke about Rafa's talent, which gets eclipsed in all the talk about his fighting ability. The range of shots he has displayed is impossible without the highest level of skill

Ok I read a lot of comments like “I don’t understand the outrage about the draw“ or "that’s the rules deal with it“ and I totally get that. But let me explain MY outrage with the draw, as ofc I can’t speak for everyone; They completely went by the book and according to the rules as I understand that the seeding is supposed to be based on your current ATP ranking, sure. BUT for hell of a long time tournaments made EXCEPTIONS. The most prominent example surely is Wimbledon, who regularly seeded ”grass specialists“ WAY higher than their ATP rank would have allowed. Why? To make sure they stay in the tournament longer because that’s what people wanted to see and to respect the former accomplishments in this particular tournament. So I guess we all agree there has never been ANYONE who has been more dominant on clay and especially at Roland Garros than Rafa right? I‘m German and a Zverev fan and I was 95% sure that under normal circumstances Zverev would this match, and he did. But the reason I‘m still mad about the draw (and many former greats like McEnroe or Becker are) that the French open missed an opportunity to pay the 14 time champion and most dominant player in their tournament ever the respect he deserved on his probably last visit. And I‘m 100% sure no other player would have been mad or even disagreed if they placed him at like 15-20. That’s probably the best way I can explain my confusion with the decision.

I’m a big Rafa fan but i don’t understand the outrage about this draw for Rafa at all. Its a RANDOM DRAW guys, get tf over it. If Rafa wins thats amazing if not then he lost to a great player

First of all, no one sounded like they were criticizing anything! I'm sure no one wanted to play Nadal in the first round, but like Sasha said, it is what it is, nothing I can do! He handled it great!

The seeding needs to be like March Madness with little tweeks for past champions. Both of those guys should have played qualifiers. It makes the tournament less for the players and for the audience for one of the best players or past champions to have to be eliminated in the first round because they play each other in the first round.

My respect goes out to Alexander Zverez for the respect he showed Rafa. I'd truly want Zverez to succeed in the French Open 🤙

Bet Novak influenced the draw- so he can get Nadal knocked out first round- they're sick of Nadal winning here so much!

Re. Alcaraz , why cant the reporter ask the question in simple English "Would you like to play Rafa in Rd 1" .

Sascha is wise not to underestimate Rafa at RG, no matter what. This R1 match is going to be intense.

I love the world number one saying "I'm not an expert" 😂😂

Great video, but misleading title

I'm a Nadal fan, but they shouldn't give him an easier draw. It's like Zverev says: How are you gonna do that? It wouldn't be fair. Where do you draw the line then?

I didn’t hear ANY criticism at all. The title is misleading… every player said it is what it is and questioned how would they go about seeding a past champion in a standard way.

I dont see Rafa having any chance against Zverev . In 2024 hes level is nowhere near top players . My prediction is Zverev and its going to be almost sadly easy because Nadal just isnt anymore what he was and likely never will . I hope he can bounce back with much higher level !

How the hell is it criticism? All of them are literally saying that they would not want to play him, because he is just so good and has so much experience on this surface. Please don't spread wrong information!

Wimbledon da seri başılık şampiyonluk sayısına göre yapılıyor ve bunu değiştirmek istemelerine ,bu bir gelenek diye direniyorlar. R G ‘u en fazla kazanan tenisçi olarak ona da böyle bir hak verilebilirdi. En azından elenmemesi durumunda ikinci üçüncü turlarda seri başıyla karşılaştırdı ve daha çok onu izleme imkanımız olabilirdi.

They're just giving Rafa the courtesy. All these young players can easily give Rafa a bagel score. But they will let him score some games. Rafa's role now in the French Open is merely a decoration for the event - just like Federer on Wimbledon.

Pathetic. The guy was a beast early to mid stage of his career. He's old and he knows his career is now dead but just to stubborn. I wont be surprised if his rival Novak would lose 2nd or 3rd set as well.

What idiotic question whether Rafa should be seeded as a player outside of the top 200. Seriously, he should be glad he doesnt play qualifiers and exhaust himself more at his age and I bet even Rafa would be surprised by that question.

All players try hard year-round to get enough points to be seeded. There are thirty-two seeds, and which ones would be taken away to give to Nadal? One belongs to Alcaraz, Medvedev, or Zverev? Think before YOU criticize Mauresmo.

i l0ve dannil

Rafa is only interested in winning, if he gets knocked out in r1 or finals does not matter, he is not chacing points. He actually has good draw, dodging a lot of hurdes. Sereverely declined Nadal already beat peak Zverev in under 2 sets last time, and now Zverev has that court case clouding him. The 1st quarter could also have a lot of upsets, because of the clay specialists there, and winner of that could come to sf in bad shape, lots of 5 setters played. And Nadal does not have to worry about Alcaraz till the final, who there's also question marks on.

Why do you feel sorry for Nadal? Either you play or you don't. The best player needs to win everything in turn.

Zverev is coming to the French Open with a very good chance to win the tournament. I just wish Nadal would not play him in the first round. For me Alcaraz , Zverev, Ruud, Tsitsipas have the best chance. I do not see Novak, Sinner or Nadal to reach the final. I do not think Sinner and Nadal body would be able to endure all the way to the final. I would pick Sinner as my favorite if he did not have some hip issues .

If Rafa survives the first round, he is definitely going to win his 15th French Open.

I see that you are saying, it will be Rafas last match. Probably so.

He is probably ok with one match, but it will be the accumulative affect of a two week event, that his body can no longer recover from in fast enough time, to make it to a final

I like Rafa but there’s no way he’s winning RG no matter what… his body won’t last so many rounds of competition.

Why do we have women commenting on mens tennis again now? Leave something to the mens club women. Just a little peace and quiet from time to time is all we ask for

Ez win for sasha

Are you serious ? You are becoming like kids and want sweets all the time. Rules are rules and Rafa is not above.

5:44 Where did he learn to speak English like that? Zero German accent.
