De Minaur played superlative, but rafa's mentality is unstoppable...

This match was just phenomenal.....Alex played unbelievably good in the first 2 sets.....He was on fire that day.....Rafa’s experience of handling such moments proved crucial and he could turn the tide...

The loverboys of Rafa projecting their desire to get on their knees for Rafa onto next gen players. Disgusting but not surprising. Every video is a new low for them. Even worse than Federer and Djokovic loverboys by far.

One of the best examples of Nadal withstanding an opponent absolutely redlining for more than an hour. He believes that such a level just will not last an entire match, the opponent will start to miss and have doubts, and the tide will turn. He's almost always right. Only Djokovic and Federer have 'base level' tennis that can beat him. Everyone else has to go God mode and sustain it.

I think Rafa knows that Alex was on fire in the first set. So, he probably save his energy waiting for Alex to get tired. Maybe

De Minaur´s forehand was on fire and Rafa still managed to stay in the game AND win it! what a beast

I wonder what Alex can learn from this match. It's nearly impossible to redline his game for a whole match but that was the only tactic working against Rafa. I guess he just needs to pick his moments better and save energy when needed.

“Oh Yes...” apparently all these commentators know how to say

Even when you are on fire and play unstoppable tennis, it’s still not enough to beat a concentrated Nadal. Definitely the big 3 are out of this world.

I never thought Alex had a chance against Rafa because Nadal is the worst rival posible for someone like Alex, Rafa is fast enough, with a great defense and with way more offensive weapons, but i never watched De Miñaur playing that well. If he is able to play at that level consistently he could be able of great things

When the big three retire, and one is named the GOAT (or all three), we will have hours of entertainment reading through all the debates in KZread comment sections!! LOL

Alex dio el partido de su vida, de local, en una superficie que no es la que más beneficia a Rafa, y aún así solo logró ganar 1 set. Son unos monstruos los 3 granDioses del tour

What kind of head do you need to comeback from the first 2 sets? Such a strong mind RAFA has. It's inspiring, really. 😟

Wow, this guy is GOOD

Un match DE MINAUResque!!! 🤩🤩 entre le physique et la puissance de de minaur ce jour et le mental de OUFFF de nadal....!!! Tout pour apprendre,je me nourris de cette video!! Petit + pour les ENORME coups de de minaur!! 😯😶 impressionant!!! 💥💥💥

4:07 that slide was beautiful. And holy shit, Alex started with so much confidence. And as you can see in 3:30 he was so into it it's fucking scary On the other hand, Nadal is specialized in the these kind of points: 7:29. The type of points that have the potential to castrate his opponent, sometimes not just figuratively haha

And people called this competition Mickey Mouse. The way Nadal celebrated and the way the top players embraced this means this tournament is here to stay. Who knows, this could even become one of the most prestigious event outside the 4 grand slams in 10, 15 years time!

Imagine when he gets old, speed will no longer be his weapon, will be hard for him to stay competitive.

So difficult for this nex gen players to break into this top guys,just the way Roger did, Rafa came in,then djokovic since then this guy's has just hold this positions to them selfs but they break into that ranks so young

In my opinion, Rafa should beat Alex in straights this year, as I guess Rafa will be fresher than last year, but we'll see 💪

De minaur's biggest weapon is his speed but that can also be a weakness considering players get him running a lot more than they do

Perfect example of good vs great and player vs legend

Tennis legend vs young legend

Más que merecido, el pendejito se estaba haciendo muy el agrandado y le cayó la realidad, buen jugador pero que tiene mucho aún por aprender, grande Rafa!

Demon is going to have a great season this year

I think De Minaur has incredible potential however it’s clear that he still has a lot to go

Change the title to De Minaur's highlights because basically every clip was him winning a point

It's just funny to watch an older wiser player beat a new guy. Rafa tought Alex a lesson in this match.

That's a shame to play like that and run out of gas.

This is just like me whenever I choke a match lol.

De Minaur is an Amateur and Nadal is a Professional

10:54 Nadal puts his hand in his sweaty hair then shakes the umpire’s head but I still love him

Is Novak still the best? What will happen this year? I’m sad there was no Wimbledon last year. Can RAFA win two slams this year?!?!

De Minaur still has a long (mental) road to go and Rafa Nadal is a great expert on that. Alex de Minaur has a lot of energy left over, but it is little capitalized by a mental power, By now, he should work on that and if he does, we will see a very versatile super tennis player, fast, powerful and with impressive mental control. Meanwhile, the Big3 will be in control of each tournament with his tennis qualities. IMHO!🎾🤷🏻‍♂️😉👌🏻

9:41 Nadal is good at that backhand twirl thing

Nadal is Pure Class.....

Шпана на максималках раскрепащен как на тренировке, а Надаль в пол силы. Но стоило включить вторую передачу, надавить на бэкхенд Де Минора и сразу всё встало на свои места. Как ни крути, разница в классе пропасть. Но свою порцию кайфа и опыта малыш получил. Не каждый сможет так легко и классно отыграть против Рафы.

That kid thought that he already beat Nadal, and then Rafa says hii. Jesus!!

So you're saying De Minaur didn't win 6-0, 6-0 based on these highlights?

Imagine if de minaur had isners serve lol

Nadal is an absolute beast.. it takes lot more than a good day to beat him
