00:00:23.356 --> 00:00:26.735 align:center
Today the skies
will be even clearer than in recent days.

00:00:26.818 --> 00:00:28.987 align:center
And temperatures will be much higher.

00:00:29.070 --> 00:00:31.072 align:center
The winds will calm down.

00:00:31.156 --> 00:00:36.661 align:center
The first time I went to play
an official tennis tournament,

00:00:37.245 --> 00:00:40.498 align:center
I was, I think, 7 years old.

00:00:41.499 --> 00:00:43.877 align:center
I played with someone who was, like, 11.

00:00:46.963 --> 00:00:49.007 align:center
So, I was nervous, of course.

00:00:50.008 --> 00:00:52.302 align:center
But my uncle Toni was a coach

00:00:52.385 --> 00:00:54.637 align:center
who had a great influence on me.

00:00:54.721 --> 00:00:57.682 align:center
And helped me with everything.

00:00:59.601 --> 00:01:02.604 align:center
Rafael was a little nervous
before taking the court.

00:01:03.813 --> 00:01:06.191 align:center
So, I said to Rafael,

00:01:06.691 --> 00:01:10.278 align:center
"If your opponent is much better than you,
I'll make it rain."

00:01:10.779 --> 00:01:13.406 align:center
And he asked, "You can make it rain?"

00:01:13.990 --> 00:01:16.493 align:center
And I said,
"Of course I can make it rain."

00:01:18.912 --> 00:01:21.790 align:center
Of course, I had great respect for him.

00:01:22.916 --> 00:01:26.753 align:center
And I admired him so much
when I was very young, you know?

00:01:27.337 --> 00:01:29.089 align:center
I always trusted him.

00:01:34.219 --> 00:01:35.929 align:center
The match begins…

00:01:36.888 --> 00:01:41.518 align:center
1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 4-0 for the other guy.

00:01:44.854 --> 00:01:47.649 align:center
But then, I start to come back.

00:01:49.609 --> 00:01:51.486 align:center
4-1, 4-2, 4-3…

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:02.330 align:center
It starts raining.

00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:08.711 align:center
And I secretly go to tell Toni,

00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.675 align:center
"Toni, I think you could stop the rain,

00:02:14.509 --> 00:02:16.386 align:center
because I think I could beat him."

00:02:29.691 --> 00:02:31.943 align:center
Rafa Nadal announced at 6:20 p.m.

00:02:32.026 --> 00:02:36.114 align:center
that he will not be playing
in the Monte-Carlo tennis tournament.

00:02:36.865 --> 00:02:39.659 align:center
Rafa has been dropping out
of tournaments one-by-one.

00:02:39.742 --> 00:02:43.705 align:center
First Doha, then Indian Wells,
now Monte-Carlo.

00:02:44.706 --> 00:02:48.126 align:center
And now, Roland-Garros is almost upon us,

00:02:48.209 --> 00:02:50.920 align:center
and we haven't seen Rafa
practically all year.

00:02:51.421 --> 00:02:52.505 align:center
There's no time left.

00:02:59.679 --> 00:03:00.763 align:center
It hurts here?

00:03:01.264 --> 00:03:02.932 align:center
It's more like here.

00:03:03.516 --> 00:03:04.767 align:center
Around this area?

00:03:05.268 --> 00:03:06.728 align:center
-It could be, right?
-Sure.

00:03:07.812 --> 00:03:09.689 align:center
That's where it hurts the most.

00:03:12.066 --> 00:03:13.860 align:center
What do you think about the…?

00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.863 align:center
I don't think we'll find anything.

00:03:16.946 --> 00:03:19.032 align:center
-What?
-I don't think we'll find much.

00:03:19.532 --> 00:03:21.659 align:center
But he already thinks
that he may have a chance…

00:03:22.952 --> 00:03:24.871 align:center
The man is… insatiable.

00:03:25.538 --> 00:03:27.248 align:center
But he's not ready to push yet.

00:03:27.749 --> 00:03:28.583 align:center
Yeah.

00:03:30.752 --> 00:03:32.253 align:center
Will you make it to Barcelona?

00:03:32.837 --> 00:03:36.132 align:center
-We'll see, I don't know about Barcelona.
-He may not make it.

00:03:36.215 --> 00:03:37.592 align:center
I don't think so.

00:03:37.675 --> 00:03:41.012 align:center
But he thinks that if he's able to train
for a full week, he's ready to compete.

00:03:41.095 --> 00:03:41.971 align:center
I don't fully agree.

00:03:42.931 --> 00:03:46.226 align:center
-He's gonna get injured there.
-Yeah, it's crazy.

00:03:46.809 --> 00:03:48.937 align:center
-Makes no sense.
-Yeah, very true.

00:03:53.608 --> 00:03:54.943 align:center
Rafelet, ready?

00:04:03.201 --> 00:04:05.578 align:center
You want him to go?
You think he should go?

00:04:05.662 --> 00:04:06.955 align:center
-No.
-Do you?

00:04:07.038 --> 00:04:08.414 align:center
I wouldn't allow it.

00:04:09.415 --> 00:04:11.250 align:center
-Sure you wouldn't go?
-I wouldn't go.

00:04:11.334 --> 00:04:13.002 align:center
-Yeah, okay.
-I told him yesterday.

00:04:13.962 --> 00:04:15.421 align:center
-I mean…
-I told him today.

00:04:17.340 --> 00:04:21.010 align:center
I think he needs to do some reflecting
at home tonight and ask himself,

00:04:21.094 --> 00:04:22.595 align:center
"What am I playing for?"

00:04:25.431 --> 00:04:27.392 align:center
-An Eskimo kiss?
-Papa!

00:04:27.475 --> 00:04:28.935 align:center
Yeah, daddy.

00:04:34.607 --> 00:04:35.817 align:center
Where's Nadal?

00:04:35.900 --> 00:04:38.653 align:center
In Barcelona. He's already training.

00:04:38.736 --> 00:04:41.489 align:center
Yeah, sure,
but that doesn't mean he'll compete.

00:04:42.865 --> 00:04:44.200 align:center
So, by Friday,

00:04:44.284 --> 00:04:47.578 align:center
Rafa Nadal has to decide
if he'll play Barcelona or not.

00:04:59.966 --> 00:05:02.969 align:center
-I can push harder. I'm not feeling pain.
-Like yesterday. Easy.

00:05:03.052 --> 00:05:05.680 align:center
Shit, I have to do
a little more, I need to.

00:05:06.264 --> 00:05:07.098 align:center
I mean…

00:05:08.099 --> 00:05:10.852 align:center
I need to feel like, "Here I go."

00:05:10.935 --> 00:05:12.770 align:center
-Right.
-You know? "Go."

00:05:12.854 --> 00:05:14.439 align:center
What about 70%?

00:05:15.523 --> 00:05:18.359 align:center
Charlie, I don't know
if I should do it or not.

00:05:19.736 --> 00:05:22.488 align:center
Listen, we need
to keep everything under control.

00:05:23.906 --> 00:05:24.949 align:center
Here I go.

00:05:25.658 --> 00:05:27.368 align:center
But you have to be careful, man.

00:05:28.286 --> 00:05:29.620 align:center
Till it breaks.

00:05:38.504 --> 00:05:40.548 align:center
He's very demanding with himself.

00:05:41.049 --> 00:05:43.968 align:center
But if he gets injured again,
then there's nothing.

00:05:45.428 --> 00:05:49.682 align:center
So, these days,
part of our job is to stop him.

00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.187 align:center
He's been pushed
for so many years to give 100%.

00:05:54.687 --> 00:05:56.814 align:center
And that made him who he is.

00:06:04.447 --> 00:06:07.325 align:center
Since I was a kid, I enjoyed challenges.

00:06:07.408 --> 00:06:08.868 align:center
They gave me motivation.

00:06:08.951 --> 00:06:11.120 align:center
I liked things that were difficult.

00:06:13.831 --> 00:06:17.085 align:center
But this is because
Toni taught me to be this way.

00:06:17.668 --> 00:06:20.254 align:center
It's not easy, huh? One more time.

00:06:20.338 --> 00:06:22.173 align:center
I was a demanding coach.

00:06:23.758 --> 00:06:25.676 align:center
Go! Come on, hit it!

00:06:26.552 --> 00:06:29.514 align:center
But I was hard on Rafael
because I had great respect for him.

00:06:29.597 --> 00:06:31.599 align:center
Again. You need to give him hell.

00:06:33.184 --> 00:06:35.019 align:center
And because he was my nephew.

00:06:39.524 --> 00:06:41.442 align:center
Oh, no. Let's go, champ! Come on.

00:06:42.735 --> 00:06:45.988 align:center
When Toni and Rafael trained,

00:06:46.656 --> 00:06:50.076 align:center
tensions were very high.

00:06:51.452 --> 00:06:53.454 align:center
Rafael, don't hit it so low.

00:06:53.955 --> 00:06:56.666 align:center
"Rafa, turn around,"
"Rafa, move," "Rafa, finish the shot"…

00:06:56.749 --> 00:06:57.708 align:center
From ball one.

00:06:58.751 --> 00:07:00.545 align:center
He was constantly correcting him.

00:07:01.337 --> 00:07:04.424 align:center
Trying to create
the maximum amount of stress.

00:07:04.507 --> 00:07:05.925 align:center
Again! Come on!

00:07:06.426 --> 00:07:09.595 align:center
I felt much less pressure
when playing against any opponent

00:07:09.679 --> 00:07:11.264 align:center
than when training with Toni.

00:07:12.723 --> 00:07:13.641 align:center
Again!

00:07:13.724 --> 00:07:15.351 align:center
When I missed a ball, he'd ask,

00:07:16.144 --> 00:07:17.270 align:center
"Why did you miss?"

00:07:17.353 --> 00:07:21.858 align:center
I was scared of making another mistake.

00:07:23.151 --> 00:07:27.071 align:center
During the first hour of training,
no water.

00:07:27.655 --> 00:07:29.282 align:center
One hour without drinking.

00:07:29.782 --> 00:07:33.119 align:center
So, they would learn to suffer a little.

00:07:34.370 --> 00:07:38.082 align:center
Some coaches rebelled against me

00:07:38.166 --> 00:07:40.168 align:center
because they felt that was barbaric.

00:07:42.253 --> 00:07:44.881 align:center
I remember,
in the first round of a tournament,

00:07:45.506 --> 00:07:47.758 align:center
I fell and broke this finger.

00:07:49.260 --> 00:07:52.597 align:center
When this happened to his finger,
I told Rafael, "Keep playing."

00:07:53.181 --> 00:07:54.807 align:center
"Play for as long as you can."

00:07:59.187 --> 00:08:04.233 align:center
I won the tournament.
But I had to wear a cast for a month.

00:08:07.320 --> 00:08:11.991 align:center
If you had asked me at that time,
"Do you agree with all this?"

00:08:12.074 --> 00:08:15.328 align:center
I would have said, "No, I don't like it."

00:08:16.412 --> 00:08:18.164 align:center
It was a philosophy.

00:08:18.247 --> 00:08:20.666 align:center
"Learn how to suffer through a sport."

00:08:21.918 --> 00:08:26.714 align:center
I always said the same thing to him,
"Rafa, you don't have to play."

00:08:27.298 --> 00:08:30.384 align:center
"No, I'm fine, Mom,
I really like doing this."

00:08:31.010 --> 00:08:32.053 align:center
Last one.

00:08:33.137 --> 00:08:36.974 align:center
I only remember one time
I felt like I couldn't take it anymore,

00:08:37.058 --> 00:08:41.270 align:center
and said, "Toni, um…
I'm sorry, but I can't go on."

00:08:43.648 --> 00:08:44.815 align:center
I left the court.

00:08:45.942 --> 00:08:48.736 align:center
Mentally destroyed and crying.

00:08:52.156 --> 00:08:54.992 align:center
But I never went home crying.

00:08:55.660 --> 00:08:57.203 align:center
My father would ask, "How was practice?"

00:08:57.286 --> 00:08:58.788 align:center
I'd say, "Fine, good."

00:08:59.330 --> 00:09:00.164 align:center
"Bad."

00:09:01.082 --> 00:09:02.041 align:center
But that was it.

00:09:03.251 --> 00:09:07.463 align:center
I never would have wanted
for my dad to go up to Toni

00:09:08.047 --> 00:09:10.091 align:center
and ask him to go easy on me.

00:09:10.883 --> 00:09:14.971 align:center
I would have felt
like I was letting Toni down.

00:09:15.471 --> 00:09:19.308 align:center
I'd be a person
who wasn't strong enough to endure.

00:09:20.726 --> 00:09:23.938 align:center
I always knew
that he wanted the best for me.

00:09:24.438 --> 00:09:26.691 align:center
He wanted to make me succeed.

00:09:27.191 --> 00:09:30.027 align:center
And he believed that the right way was…

00:09:32.280 --> 00:09:33.114 align:center
that one.

00:09:35.574 --> 00:09:36.909 align:center
Pushing me to the limit.

00:09:41.539 --> 00:09:42.707 align:center
He's done it!

00:09:46.627 --> 00:09:50.089 align:center
I am not satisfied
with him being a good player.

00:09:53.050 --> 00:09:56.762 align:center
Nadal takes
his second Roland-Garros title.

00:09:56.846 --> 00:09:59.682 align:center
I encourage him
to always dig for something more.

00:10:17.116 --> 00:10:19.201 align:center
When I started working with them,

00:10:20.119 --> 00:10:22.997 align:center
Rafa had somehow internalized that

00:10:23.748 --> 00:10:25.499 align:center
he was not good enough.

00:10:27.084 --> 00:10:29.503 align:center
It is something inside of Toni,

00:10:31.172 --> 00:10:32.340 align:center
who truly believes

00:10:32.423 --> 00:10:35.968 align:center
that if you just stay
as a great clay court champion,

00:10:36.052 --> 00:10:38.763 align:center
you are somehow an incomplete champion.

00:10:40.973 --> 00:10:43.642 align:center
And so, the legend had been created

00:10:43.726 --> 00:10:46.771 align:center
that Wimbledon was the tournament
you had to win.

00:10:47.605 --> 00:10:50.941 align:center
Win that and you become
an immortal tennis legend.

00:10:51.442 --> 00:10:53.819 align:center
What's the tournament
that you'd prefer to win?

00:10:53.903 --> 00:10:57.365 align:center
Wimbledon, but it's very tough
and you have to work hard.

00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.203 align:center
That was the dream, that was the goal.

00:11:03.496 --> 00:11:07.208 align:center
It had been more than 40 years
since a Spaniard had won there.

00:11:08.668 --> 00:11:12.171 align:center
It seemed that Spaniards
were not capable of winning on grass.

00:11:13.964 --> 00:11:18.594 align:center
That's probably why it appeared
to be something magical and unattainable.

00:11:18.678 --> 00:11:21.347 align:center
Heading the field,
fresh from his triumph in Paris,

00:11:21.430 --> 00:11:25.184 align:center
the two-time French Open champion,
Rafael Nadal.

00:11:26.435 --> 00:11:30.564 align:center
The question is,
can the King of Clay master the grass?

00:11:31.565 --> 00:11:34.443 align:center
The previous year,
I hadn't played very well.

00:11:39.573 --> 00:11:41.742 align:center
Needs to learn a lot on this grass court.

00:11:41.826 --> 00:11:44.453 align:center
He wishes
he was here with his football boots.

00:11:44.537 --> 00:11:46.205 align:center
Don't laugh.

00:11:46.288 --> 00:11:49.417 align:center
What? It's funny.
He really slips all the time.

00:11:51.168 --> 00:11:53.963 align:center
They seemed to be two different sports.

00:11:55.089 --> 00:11:58.843 align:center
Clay was more of a game of strength,
grit, of fighting.

00:11:59.427 --> 00:12:01.929 align:center
Grass was more elegant…

00:12:02.805 --> 00:12:05.182 align:center
and for people who played with more…

00:12:05.266 --> 00:12:06.392 align:center
technique.

00:12:07.852 --> 00:12:10.604 align:center
Possibly the greatest player of all time,

00:12:10.688 --> 00:12:11.981 align:center
Roger Federer.

00:12:14.650 --> 00:12:16.235 align:center
I don't know of any athlete

00:12:16.318 --> 00:12:19.864 align:center
who has managed to play
their sport so elegantly.

00:12:26.078 --> 00:12:28.914 align:center
It seemed like he was floating everywhere.

00:12:30.666 --> 00:12:33.919 align:center
You could have placed him in a ballet.

00:12:37.006 --> 00:12:38.674 align:center
Federer is above all.

00:12:39.967 --> 00:12:43.512 align:center
There's such competition
in men's tennis, such strength and depth,

00:12:43.596 --> 00:12:47.600 align:center
and yet Federer is just
head and shoulders above the rest.

00:12:48.601 --> 00:12:51.937 align:center
Number one for 84 weeks straight.

00:12:53.606 --> 00:12:56.108 align:center
Federer is the best man on the planet.

00:12:58.652 --> 00:13:01.489 align:center
I won my first Grand Slam in 2003.

00:13:02.072 --> 00:13:03.783 align:center
2004, I won three.

00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:07.870 align:center
And then, 2005, I barely lost matches.

00:13:08.454 --> 00:13:11.874 align:center
Six straight Grand Slam finals.

00:13:11.957 --> 00:13:15.044 align:center
Every one he has been in,
Roger Federer has won.

00:13:15.878 --> 00:13:18.130 align:center
How much more can this guy achieve?

00:13:18.214 --> 00:13:20.633 align:center
When you think
you can't get any better, you do.

00:13:20.716 --> 00:13:22.551 align:center
Well, it seems like it, yeah.

00:13:24.678 --> 00:13:27.890 align:center
I guess you could say
I was in a bit of a league of my own.

00:13:31.143 --> 00:13:34.271 align:center
Roger Federer is still
on track to win the men's singles title

00:13:34.355 --> 00:13:36.190 align:center
for the fourth straight year.

00:13:36.774 --> 00:13:38.609 align:center
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

00:13:38.692 --> 00:13:40.986 align:center
It gives me great pleasure
to present Roger Federer,

00:13:41.070 --> 00:13:43.280 align:center
three-time Wimbledon champion,
defending champion.

00:13:43.364 --> 00:13:46.242 align:center
Do you feel like a man
on the brink of Wimbledon history?

00:13:46.325 --> 00:13:47.993 align:center
I feel very, actually, very good.

00:13:48.077 --> 00:13:50.079 align:center
I'm playing very well at the moment.

00:13:50.162 --> 00:13:53.165 align:center
And it's a…
just a matter of being consistent.

00:13:55.709 --> 00:13:58.671 align:center
So, for Rafa,
it was the ultimate challenge…

00:13:59.171 --> 00:14:00.548 align:center
to win Wimbledon.

00:14:00.631 --> 00:14:04.009 align:center
To beat Federer,
and to beat Federer at Wimbledon.

00:14:12.393 --> 00:14:14.478 align:center
Game, set, match to Nadal.

00:14:15.062 --> 00:14:17.481 align:center
What would make it
a good tournament this year?

00:14:17.565 --> 00:14:20.359 align:center
Well, I think
if he got through three or four rounds,

00:14:20.442 --> 00:14:21.944 align:center
that would be good.

00:14:27.157 --> 00:14:29.118 align:center
What if this were to come to a final

00:14:29.201 --> 00:14:31.745 align:center
between you and Rafael Nadal?

00:14:31.829 --> 00:14:36.041 align:center
Obviously, if he made the final,
that would be quite a surprise to many.

00:14:39.295 --> 00:14:41.213 align:center
You see a guy learning on the spot.

00:14:41.297 --> 00:14:42.673 align:center
He's getting better each match.

00:14:50.764 --> 00:14:53.475 align:center
It looks like
a Rafael Nadal-Roger Federer final

00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:54.560 align:center
is shaping up.

00:14:54.643 --> 00:14:57.271 align:center
No one thought
he'd be in the Wimbledon final.

00:14:59.523 --> 00:15:03.485 align:center
On grass,
I didn't feel I was at Roger's level yet.

00:15:04.570 --> 00:15:07.197 align:center
He had many things
in which he was better than me.

00:15:08.657 --> 00:15:10.576 align:center
Toni kept reminding me of that.

00:15:10.659 --> 00:15:14.371 align:center
Hey, did you see
how he made that last one drop?

00:15:15.289 --> 00:15:16.957 align:center
I'd say to him, "Rafael,

00:15:17.041 --> 00:15:20.461 align:center
Federer has a better forehand,
backhand, volley,

00:15:20.544 --> 00:15:21.962 align:center
and serves better than you."

00:15:23.547 --> 00:15:28.802 align:center
I said, "If you want, I can lie to you,
but Federer is not going to lie to us."

00:15:30.387 --> 00:15:33.432 align:center
Toni always put Federer above Rafa.

00:15:34.934 --> 00:15:38.020 align:center
And I think that, in a way,
Toni used that as motivation

00:15:39.772 --> 00:15:43.859 align:center
so that Rafa would keep thinking
that they hadn't reached their limit.

00:15:52.785 --> 00:15:56.080 align:center
Roger Federer
now walks onto the court he owns.

00:15:56.163 --> 00:15:57.539 align:center
This grass of Center Court.

00:15:57.623 --> 00:16:01.585 align:center
He has been utterly dominant here
for the fourth straight year.

00:16:01.669 --> 00:16:03.128 align:center
Forty-seven straight wins

00:16:03.212 --> 00:16:06.840 align:center
on the surface that best suits
his all-court artistry.

00:16:17.810 --> 00:16:20.604 align:center
In that moment,
I knew he was extremely good.

00:16:20.688 --> 00:16:24.108 align:center
But, uh, you could still see
he was a little raw on grass.

00:16:28.529 --> 00:16:31.615 align:center
He was maybe a bit frustrated
when there was no rhythm.

00:16:37.204 --> 00:16:38.497 align:center
His forehand wasn't as effective.

00:16:44.378 --> 00:16:46.922 align:center
You could see
he had some figuring out to do.

00:16:47.881 --> 00:16:48.716 align:center
Out!

00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:50.801 align:center
Yes!

00:16:56.974 --> 00:17:00.019 align:center
…On this blazer,
the three rackets with three trophies.

00:17:00.102 --> 00:17:01.979 align:center
You're going to need
a bigger pocket next year.

00:17:02.062 --> 00:17:06.316 align:center
Yeah, well, it's gotta go,
because three seems not good enough.

00:17:08.527 --> 00:17:13.365 align:center
I would just like to say that, uh,
it's a great tournament for Rafael and…

00:17:13.449 --> 00:17:16.410 align:center
I honestly didn't think
he was going to play the finals this week,

00:17:16.493 --> 00:17:20.456 align:center
but it's a fantastic effort,
so congratulations for coming so far.

00:17:24.251 --> 00:17:26.879 align:center
Great champion.
Congratulations, Roger Federer.

00:17:31.717 --> 00:17:34.386 align:center
Having someone like Roger in front of you,

00:17:34.470 --> 00:17:37.848 align:center
I think it makes
the path look much clearer.

00:17:38.974 --> 00:17:41.602 align:center
You'll have to push yourself
to the limit in everything.

00:17:43.479 --> 00:17:46.315 align:center
What can you tell Rafael,
now that the match is over?

00:17:46.398 --> 00:17:50.819 align:center
Well, I always say to him
that he needs to keep improving.

00:17:50.903 --> 00:17:53.030 align:center
You see him winning Wimbledon next year?

00:17:53.113 --> 00:17:55.783 align:center
No, not at all. I don't see him as…

00:17:56.283 --> 00:17:58.786 align:center
as champion, not at all.

00:17:58.869 --> 00:18:01.205 align:center
We have to train more, we have to improve.

00:18:03.791 --> 00:18:07.461 align:center
I told Rafael,
"You have to do something extra."

00:18:10.339 --> 00:18:12.508 align:center
"You have to go closer to the limit."

00:18:15.052 --> 00:18:16.678 align:center
"You have to suffer."

00:18:25.896 --> 00:18:28.190 align:center
I think I hurt myself during training.

00:18:29.024 --> 00:18:32.778 align:center
Ugh, it's a bit of a bitch.
It's in a shitty area.

00:18:32.861 --> 00:18:35.864 align:center
-Where?
-I can't bend my damn finger.

00:18:36.782 --> 00:18:38.534 align:center
I don't think that's going away.

00:18:41.578 --> 00:18:42.621 align:center
A little more.

00:18:43.914 --> 00:18:44.957 align:center
Like this.

00:18:50.379 --> 00:18:53.465 align:center
Very important news, extremely important.

00:18:53.549 --> 00:18:55.509 align:center
Rafa Nadal will be playing.

00:18:55.592 --> 00:18:58.595 align:center
It will be at the Godó.
It'll be at 4:00 p.m.

00:19:02.224 --> 00:19:03.892 align:center
We have a pretty big problem.

00:19:04.393 --> 00:19:06.603 align:center
He can't play at 80%.

00:19:10.482 --> 00:19:11.859 align:center
Rafa is 0 or 100.

00:19:14.111 --> 00:19:15.696 align:center
-That's why he's so successful.
-Yes.

00:19:15.779 --> 00:19:16.655 align:center
I'm sure.

00:19:19.158 --> 00:19:21.201 align:center
Not just sure. Very sure.

00:19:30.210 --> 00:19:31.587 align:center
Do you see that look?

00:19:33.130 --> 00:19:34.756 align:center
He looks a bit concerned.

00:19:37.134 --> 00:19:38.969 align:center
Rafael, is it getting worse?

00:19:40.304 --> 00:19:44.057 align:center
I mean, now that you've warmed up,
does it feel better or not?

00:19:44.558 --> 00:19:45.809 align:center
I feel nothing.

00:19:46.393 --> 00:19:48.353 align:center
-But were you feeling it?
-When?

00:19:48.437 --> 00:19:49.813 align:center
In your daily life.

00:19:50.647 --> 00:19:52.774 align:center
You haven't felt worse,
or haven't felt anything?

00:19:52.858 --> 00:19:54.443 align:center
No, I haven't felt anything.

00:19:58.238 --> 00:20:00.824 align:center
What we all want
is to get to Roland-Garros

00:20:00.908 --> 00:20:02.951 align:center
in the best possible shape.

00:20:04.411 --> 00:20:07.497 align:center
But if he wants to keep going,
how are we going to stop him?

00:20:09.750 --> 00:20:11.960 align:center
I remember that,
in many training sessions,

00:20:12.044 --> 00:20:15.422 align:center
basically all of them,
we would have problems with his foot.

00:20:15.923 --> 00:20:19.259 align:center
Meaning, he was in pain.
We had to stop at times.

00:20:21.470 --> 00:20:23.972 align:center
But Rafa likes to suffer.

00:20:24.473 --> 00:20:28.518 align:center
Then he gets the feeling
that he has pushed himself to the limit.

00:20:31.688 --> 00:20:32.731 align:center
It's fine.

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:34.858 align:center
I swear, it's fine.

00:20:35.943 --> 00:20:38.779 align:center
I haven't felt anything. For real.

00:20:38.862 --> 00:20:41.323 align:center
I think that Rafa, in some way,

00:20:42.241 --> 00:20:44.576 align:center
feels like he's obligated

00:20:44.660 --> 00:20:49.331 align:center
not to let down
the people who believe in Rafa Nadal.

00:20:50.999 --> 00:20:54.378 align:center
I think he's a bit
of a slave to that situation.

00:20:57.172 --> 00:21:00.092 align:center
But that also gives him
the strength to keep going.

00:21:09.851 --> 00:21:12.688 align:center
Sixty consecutive victories on clay.

00:21:15.983 --> 00:21:17.985 align:center
A rivalry between you and Nadal

00:21:18.068 --> 00:21:20.904 align:center
would be a great thing for tennis.

00:21:21.405 --> 00:21:23.073 align:center
-Would it not?
-I agree, yes.

00:21:23.156 --> 00:21:27.869 align:center
I think, uh, sports
sometimes tend to need rivalries as well.

00:21:31.373 --> 00:21:34.835 align:center
The rivalry was such a huge thing,
it crossed over into the general culture.

00:21:34.918 --> 00:21:36.628 align:center
In a big way.

00:21:38.672 --> 00:21:41.383 align:center
From now on,
the match everyone will be waiting for

00:21:41.466 --> 00:21:43.051 align:center
will be Nadal-Federer.

00:21:43.135 --> 00:21:45.095 align:center
-They're so different.
-Oh, that's what we love.

00:21:45.178 --> 00:21:47.973 align:center
Look at them.
Couldn't get two more different people.

00:21:49.099 --> 00:21:53.186 align:center
How does Roger look?
All dressed up, as if going to a dinner.

00:21:53.770 --> 00:21:56.231 align:center
Roger Federer, looking as elegant as ever.

00:21:56.314 --> 00:21:58.692 align:center
Not a single wrinkle. Everything perfect.

00:21:58.775 --> 00:22:00.152 align:center
And Rafa?

00:22:00.235 --> 00:22:01.778 align:center
He looked like Rambo.

00:22:01.862 --> 00:22:02.988 align:center
Long hair,

00:22:03.572 --> 00:22:04.656 align:center
lots of muscle,

00:22:04.740 --> 00:22:06.658 align:center
the warrior's headband.

00:22:06.742 --> 00:22:08.952 align:center
One is already thinking about the battle

00:22:09.036 --> 00:22:12.539 align:center
and the other is keeping his image
of a gentleman, all put together.

00:22:13.123 --> 00:22:14.916 align:center
It was the perfect combo.

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.794 align:center
Federer or Nadal.
Which is your favorite player?

00:22:17.878 --> 00:22:19.546 align:center
Definitely Federer.

00:22:19.629 --> 00:22:21.465 align:center
-Rafa?
-My future hubby.

00:22:21.548 --> 00:22:22.799 align:center
We support Roger.

00:22:22.883 --> 00:22:23.884 align:center
Rafa, of course.

00:22:23.967 --> 00:22:25.844 align:center
Don't get into any fights
amongst yourselves.

00:22:25.927 --> 00:22:29.306 align:center
It was quite interesting
to see how people have to be on,

00:22:29.389 --> 00:22:31.016 align:center
I guess, one side or the other.

00:22:33.727 --> 00:22:35.270 align:center
How can you not like both these guys?

00:22:38.148 --> 00:22:40.442 align:center
People wanted to watch them play,
they were willing to do it

00:22:40.525 --> 00:22:41.610 align:center
any way they could.

00:22:42.736 --> 00:22:44.946 align:center
…On a unique and unusual court,

00:22:45.030 --> 00:22:46.865 align:center
purposely-built for this occasion.

00:22:46.948 --> 00:22:49.326 align:center
Half clay, half grass.

00:22:49.409 --> 00:22:52.370 align:center
The battle of surfaces.
Definitely a weird one.

00:22:57.542 --> 00:23:00.420 align:center
They sold 7,000 tickets
and could have sold triple that.

00:23:04.633 --> 00:23:06.802 align:center
The French capital
has lived the tennis dream

00:23:06.885 --> 00:23:10.180 align:center
of being able to enjoy a final
between the two best rackets in the world.

00:23:11.431 --> 00:23:16.061 align:center
Roger Federer will try to break the curse
against his clay court executioner.

00:23:18.063 --> 00:23:21.942 align:center
This is a packed house
at Court Philippe-Chatrier

00:23:22.025 --> 00:23:23.485 align:center
for this men's final.

00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:27.823 align:center
Roger Federer wanting to win
the French Open for the first time.

00:23:27.906 --> 00:23:31.076 align:center
The weight
of expectation is obviously huge.

00:23:35.914 --> 00:23:39.876 align:center
Federer wants to prove
he can play the Nadal game on clay.

00:23:41.795 --> 00:23:43.046 align:center
That was in!

00:23:44.047 --> 00:23:46.508 align:center
In any other era, Federer would have been

00:23:46.591 --> 00:23:49.136 align:center
the best clay-courter
of that period in time.

00:23:49.636 --> 00:23:52.597 align:center
But he had a force of nature
that came along his path.

00:23:57.102 --> 00:24:01.231 align:center
Rafa was creating difficulties for him
that nobody else could create.

00:24:02.816 --> 00:24:04.818 align:center
In those moments, I was frustrated.

00:24:05.610 --> 00:24:08.947 align:center
But, you know,
Rafa was just better than me on clay.

00:24:10.073 --> 00:24:14.494 align:center
You had to hit so many good shots
over a long period of time.

00:24:14.578 --> 00:24:17.664 align:center
He just made you feel
that you need to play superhuman

00:24:17.747 --> 00:24:19.207 align:center
on a clay court to beat him.

00:24:20.333 --> 00:24:21.501 align:center
Out!

00:24:22.085 --> 00:24:24.129 align:center
6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.

00:24:24.713 --> 00:24:28.758 align:center
Rafael Nadal
has three successive Roland-Garros titles.

00:24:28.842 --> 00:24:30.969 align:center
There's so much excitement around this.

00:24:31.052 --> 00:24:33.305 align:center
It's a portent of things to come.

00:24:36.766 --> 00:24:40.145 align:center
The boy from Manacor
has made it clear that Roland-Garros

00:24:40.228 --> 00:24:42.147 align:center
and clay are his territory.

00:24:46.401 --> 00:24:49.321 align:center
-Thank you for coming.
-Congrats.

00:24:49.821 --> 00:24:50.864 align:center
Thank you.

00:24:52.199 --> 00:24:54.868 align:center
-Uh…
-Next year, the fourth, okay?

00:24:54.951 --> 00:24:55.869 align:center
We train tomorrow!

00:24:55.952 --> 00:24:58.496 align:center
-Next year, you win again!
-Come on, man.

00:25:03.001 --> 00:25:04.377 align:center
With hardly any rest,

00:25:04.461 --> 00:25:08.089 align:center
Rafa Nadal is off to England,
where his grass season begins.

00:25:08.965 --> 00:25:10.800 align:center
-Good morning!
-Good morning!

00:25:11.301 --> 00:25:12.552 align:center
Good morning.

00:25:12.636 --> 00:25:13.720 align:center
To me,

00:25:14.221 --> 00:25:17.557 align:center
winning Roland-Garros
and then Wimbledon is very difficult.

00:25:18.058 --> 00:25:19.643 align:center
You win Roland-Garros,

00:25:20.143 --> 00:25:21.311 align:center
then catch the train,

00:25:21.394 --> 00:25:25.732 align:center
go to London,
arrive at 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon,

00:25:25.815 --> 00:25:28.527 align:center
and one hour later,
start training full-on.

00:25:29.110 --> 00:25:31.321 align:center
In the end, if you relax a little bit…

00:25:33.073 --> 00:25:34.032 align:center
you drop a lot.

00:25:35.367 --> 00:25:38.745 align:center
But Toni always had the feeling
that they could push a little more.

00:25:39.454 --> 00:25:40.455 align:center
Always.

00:25:44.209 --> 00:25:47.629 align:center
And Rafa was never
going to give you a little less.

00:25:51.841 --> 00:25:55.929 align:center
I had to completely change
my mentality and my way of playing.

00:25:56.012 --> 00:25:58.974 align:center
Wait, then hit, pause, and then, "boom."

00:26:00.809 --> 00:26:04.646 align:center
Federer on grass,
he's gonna play faster than anyone else.

00:26:05.730 --> 00:26:08.358 align:center
His tactic is not to give you time.

00:26:10.652 --> 00:26:13.530 align:center
To be able to beat Federer
on his favorite court,

00:26:13.613 --> 00:26:15.448 align:center
you have to be aggressive.

00:26:17.450 --> 00:26:19.494 align:center
On clay, it's slower.

00:26:21.037 --> 00:26:22.247 align:center
You look for the winning shot

00:26:24.249 --> 00:26:27.002 align:center
after having played
five shots in the rally.

00:26:31.298 --> 00:26:32.507 align:center
But on grass,

00:26:33.341 --> 00:26:35.802 align:center
you have to win the point faster.

00:26:37.596 --> 00:26:39.556 align:center
A bit more forward, Rafael.

00:26:40.223 --> 00:26:42.350 align:center
Because if you don't, your opponent will.

00:26:42.851 --> 00:26:43.893 align:center
Forward.

00:26:49.399 --> 00:26:52.193 align:center
I felt I was well prepared…

00:26:52.694 --> 00:26:53.737 align:center
to win.

00:26:56.990 --> 00:26:59.576 align:center
What would winning Wimbledon mean to you?

00:26:59.659 --> 00:27:00.869 align:center
If I win here,

00:27:01.369 --> 00:27:04.956 align:center
well, it's gonna be
my best moment of my career.

00:27:08.710 --> 00:27:10.503 align:center
Coming further South and East,

00:27:10.587 --> 00:27:12.255 align:center
that's the other part
of the weather story.

00:27:12.339 --> 00:27:16.343 align:center
We've got some more warm sunshine here,
and across the Southeast, even warmer…

00:27:16.426 --> 00:27:19.220 align:center
What a gladiatorial feel there is

00:27:19.304 --> 00:27:21.806 align:center
to this Center Court arena.

00:27:22.807 --> 00:27:27.270 align:center
Nadal has been number 2 in the world
and snapping at Federer's heels.

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:32.108 align:center
And Federer, of course,
endlessly the world number 1.

00:27:33.068 --> 00:27:36.655 align:center
So these are the two boys
who dominate the game at the moment.

00:27:37.155 --> 00:27:38.239 align:center
And one feels, perhaps,

00:27:38.323 --> 00:27:41.201 align:center
they're the only players
who can beat each other

00:27:41.284 --> 00:27:42.577 align:center
in the entire draw.

00:27:43.620 --> 00:27:46.373 align:center
Something special on the cards,
one feels here.

00:27:46.456 --> 00:27:47.832 align:center
The final of Wimbledon.

00:27:50.752 --> 00:27:52.420 align:center
Roger Federer to serve.

00:28:04.724 --> 00:28:09.229 align:center
Right away, you could see he was already
a much, much better grass-court player.

00:28:11.272 --> 00:28:14.359 align:center
I had to try to take the ball early
and dictate play that way.

00:28:28.081 --> 00:28:31.000 align:center
One set to the defending champion.

00:28:33.461 --> 00:28:36.589 align:center
You admit that your opponent,
playing one-on-one,

00:28:36.673 --> 00:28:38.508 align:center
is better than you at tennis.

00:28:38.591 --> 00:28:44.764 align:center
So, I have to look for a tactic
that will help me find his weakest point,

00:28:44.848 --> 00:28:47.892 align:center
where I can really hurt him.

00:28:48.393 --> 00:28:50.061 align:center
After a while, we realized

00:28:50.145 --> 00:28:53.481 align:center
that when you played
a high ball to his backhand,

00:28:53.565 --> 00:28:55.525 align:center
he struggled a little more.

00:28:55.608 --> 00:28:57.902 align:center
So, my tactic was to have him

00:28:58.486 --> 00:29:01.239 align:center
hit as many backhands as possible.

00:29:07.787 --> 00:29:10.081 align:center
Federer struggles with the high backhand.

00:29:10.165 --> 00:29:12.417 align:center
High ball to his backhand, and again.

00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:15.545 align:center
And again, and then repeat.

00:29:18.214 --> 00:29:21.426 align:center
I managed
to take that tactic to the limit.

00:29:22.844 --> 00:29:26.806 align:center
Most of the balls
going to the Federer backhand.

00:29:31.561 --> 00:29:33.229 align:center
One set all.

00:29:36.399 --> 00:29:37.984 align:center
Which way is this gonna go?

00:29:45.492 --> 00:29:48.411 align:center
Federer is stepping up and going for more.

00:29:49.746 --> 00:29:50.997 align:center
Toni said to me,

00:29:51.748 --> 00:29:55.960 align:center
"What you can't fail at
is concentration and motivation."

00:29:56.461 --> 00:29:59.589 align:center
"Those things that depend
on you and your head,

00:29:59.672 --> 00:30:01.174 align:center
you can't fail at them."

00:30:01.257 --> 00:30:02.842 align:center
"They have to be…

00:30:02.926 --> 00:30:04.052 align:center
at 100%."

00:30:14.395 --> 00:30:18.191 align:center
You're seeing Nadal
at the top of his game on this surface.

00:30:18.274 --> 00:30:20.860 align:center
Nadal wins the fourth set.

00:30:21.611 --> 00:30:24.531 align:center
The momentum's in his favor right now.

00:30:24.614 --> 00:30:27.492 align:center
In the fifth set,
I thought I was going to win the match.

00:30:27.575 --> 00:30:30.370 align:center
Nadal serving 2-3, fifth set.

00:30:30.453 --> 00:30:33.331 align:center
But tennis is about
taking advantage of opportunities.

00:30:34.082 --> 00:30:36.084 align:center
Especially with Roger.

00:30:36.167 --> 00:30:38.670 align:center
At any moment, he can break your serve.

00:30:45.760 --> 00:30:47.345 align:center
Stunning!

00:30:47.428 --> 00:30:49.848 align:center
A break for Federer.

00:30:50.515 --> 00:30:51.891 align:center
When he broke my serve…

00:30:52.934 --> 00:30:55.228 align:center
I think I got really disappointed and…

00:30:56.521 --> 00:30:59.732 align:center
I wasn't able to focus
a hundred percent on the match.

00:31:01.025 --> 00:31:03.152 align:center
On the ropes in the fifth set.

00:31:08.491 --> 00:31:12.287 align:center
The only time
we've seen Nadal look displeased.

00:31:12.370 --> 00:31:17.500 align:center
In the last eight minutes of the match,
I eased up a little bit.

00:31:19.294 --> 00:31:20.253 align:center
And that hurt me.

00:31:20.336 --> 00:31:22.463 align:center
He's only two points away from losing.

00:31:31.306 --> 00:31:35.310 align:center
2007 Wimbledon
gentlemen's singles champion

00:31:35.393 --> 00:31:36.936 align:center
is Roger Federer!

00:32:05.256 --> 00:32:07.759 align:center
I remember being
in the Wimbledon locker room,

00:32:07.842 --> 00:32:10.303 align:center
crying… alone.

00:32:13.932 --> 00:32:19.729 align:center
I thought, "I don't know
if I'll ever be able to win at Wimbledon."

00:32:22.982 --> 00:32:25.735 align:center
Later, when I talked to Toni,

00:32:27.028 --> 00:32:31.115 align:center
he told me
that I wasn't at 100% the entire match.

00:32:31.824 --> 00:32:33.284 align:center
And he was right.

00:32:52.762 --> 00:32:55.223 align:center
The stage is set at the Barcelona Open

00:32:55.306 --> 00:32:57.058 align:center
for the Rafa Nadal comeback.

00:33:06.275 --> 00:33:07.944 align:center
-Only one racket?
-Yeah.

00:33:08.444 --> 00:33:10.947 align:center
Because I saw Rafelet with another one.

00:33:19.205 --> 00:33:22.291 align:center
Rafael Nadal's roadmap
has long since gone out the window,

00:33:22.375 --> 00:33:23.626 align:center
and now it's day by day…

00:33:23.710 --> 00:33:26.045 align:center
Training is one thing,
competing is another.

00:33:26.129 --> 00:33:27.797 align:center
They're two very different things.

00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:31.926 align:center
What is clear for me
is that Rafa Nadal, at this moment,

00:33:32.010 --> 00:33:34.554 align:center
must already be thinking, undoubtedly,

00:33:34.637 --> 00:33:37.390 align:center
that his career will soon end.

00:33:39.225 --> 00:33:41.060 align:center
Rafa, anyone would be scared

00:33:41.144 --> 00:33:42.437 align:center
after so many injuries.

00:33:42.520 --> 00:33:45.064 align:center
How do you manage that worry
on a daily basis?

00:33:45.148 --> 00:33:46.357 align:center
We know the deal.

00:33:46.941 --> 00:33:48.860 align:center
Am I aware of it? Yes.

00:33:48.943 --> 00:33:51.404 align:center
Do I know it can happen? Yes. So…

00:34:15.428 --> 00:34:18.014 align:center
Take it easy. Nothing to prove to anyone.

00:34:18.890 --> 00:34:21.851 align:center
Just get out there, enjoy yourself…

00:34:22.810 --> 00:34:25.605 align:center
Tension will be high, you just be relaxed.

00:34:26.189 --> 00:34:27.398 align:center
Being here is a win.

00:34:28.941 --> 00:34:30.985 align:center
I know it's not feasible, but…

00:34:31.569 --> 00:34:35.072 align:center
I go out, and in a corner of my head,

00:34:36.783 --> 00:34:38.910 align:center
-I win the tournament.
-I know.

00:34:39.410 --> 00:34:40.787 align:center
Think we don't think that?

00:34:41.287 --> 00:34:45.666 align:center
The only thing you need
to avoid, 100%, is hurting yourself.

00:34:46.292 --> 00:34:49.378 align:center
And if something happens to you…

00:34:49.462 --> 00:34:52.256 align:center
Shit. It'll be devastating.

00:34:53.716 --> 00:34:56.344 align:center
I know it's not easy,
you've never done it before.

00:34:57.470 --> 00:34:59.388 align:center
But it's time
to change your mindset a bit,

00:34:59.472 --> 00:35:01.974 align:center
'cause now, to me, there's no other way.

00:35:08.606 --> 00:35:12.068 align:center
My wife, my parents, my team,

00:35:12.568 --> 00:35:15.822 align:center
when they see me suffer,
they don't want me to play.

00:35:17.115 --> 00:35:19.951 align:center
But, to me, things are not so easy.

00:35:25.414 --> 00:35:27.959 align:center
I never told Rafael it would be easy.

00:35:28.543 --> 00:35:31.379 align:center
But, well, he got used to…

00:35:31.462 --> 00:35:32.880 align:center
suffering.

00:35:35.133 --> 00:35:38.719 align:center
There's a quote by Goethe that says,

00:35:39.720 --> 00:35:42.140 align:center
"Talent is developed in solitude,

00:35:42.640 --> 00:35:45.643 align:center
character is formed
in the stream of the world."

00:35:47.353 --> 00:35:48.813 align:center
The rain is falling

00:35:48.896 --> 00:35:52.066 align:center
and it has been falling
for about the last hour or so.

00:35:52.900 --> 00:35:56.571 align:center
Rafael Nadal will,
for the third year in a row,

00:35:56.654 --> 00:36:00.074 align:center
challenge Roger Federer
for the Wimbledon title.

00:36:01.284 --> 00:36:03.953 align:center
Because of the rain,
the match was pushing late.

00:36:04.537 --> 00:36:07.290 align:center
And even before that,
there was so much buildup

00:36:07.373 --> 00:36:08.833 align:center
and anticipation.

00:36:09.333 --> 00:36:12.211 align:center
I mean,
it all added to this sort of classic,

00:36:12.295 --> 00:36:14.797 align:center
almost biblical quality to this match.

00:36:16.507 --> 00:36:19.218 align:center
Everyone knew
this was an extraordinary sporting event.

00:36:19.302 --> 00:36:23.055 align:center
This was really
a momentous occasion in the rivalry.

00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:27.685 align:center
And the stakes were really, really high.

00:36:29.645 --> 00:36:32.398 align:center
The hope there'll be
enough break in the rain to allow

00:36:32.481 --> 00:36:34.108 align:center
this men's championship to be played.

00:36:34.192 --> 00:36:37.236 align:center
The third straight
between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:39.572 align:center
This has the potential to be a classic.

00:36:39.655 --> 00:36:42.200 align:center
He's had to suffer
at the hands of Roger Federer.

00:36:42.283 --> 00:36:45.161 align:center
The final
that everybody's looked forward to.

00:36:50.708 --> 00:36:53.878 align:center
"Last year, I failed at Wimbledon

00:36:54.378 --> 00:36:58.132 align:center
because I wasn't able
to perform at the highest level."

00:36:59.008 --> 00:37:00.134 align:center
"This year…

00:37:01.052 --> 00:37:02.428 align:center
I'm not going to fail."

00:37:06.515 --> 00:37:09.977 align:center
Two sets it is to Rafael Nadal!

00:37:12.188 --> 00:37:14.482 align:center
That's incredible.

00:37:14.565 --> 00:37:18.236 align:center
Nadal, one set away
from his first Wimbledon title.

00:37:20.404 --> 00:37:22.782 align:center
Rafa comes out, wins the first two sets.

00:37:22.865 --> 00:37:25.993 align:center
And there was this real sense
of concern about Roger Federer.

00:37:26.077 --> 00:37:27.536 align:center
This was supposed to be his kingdom.

00:37:28.913 --> 00:37:30.414 align:center
Roger looked really shaken.

00:37:30.915 --> 00:37:32.583 align:center
You could see it in his face.

00:37:34.377 --> 00:37:38.464 align:center
It was like Rafa has taken
his hope away from him here.

00:37:40.424 --> 00:37:43.010 align:center
The match was also tougher, to be honest.

00:37:43.094 --> 00:37:47.848 align:center
You could feel that he was definitely now
a next-level player on grass.

00:37:48.349 --> 00:37:51.394 align:center
I knew I needed a mental change,
because you don't want it to…

00:37:51.894 --> 00:37:55.856 align:center
To linger, you know,
and just have this very negative mindset.

00:37:56.983 --> 00:37:59.860 align:center
I had to truly believe
I could turn this match around.

00:38:03.072 --> 00:38:05.783 align:center
I have a big advantage, but there's still…

00:38:06.284 --> 00:38:07.535 align:center
a long way to go.

00:38:07.618 --> 00:38:09.287 align:center
Come on, Rafa!

00:38:10.329 --> 00:38:14.333 align:center
Between them,
you could see there was this intensity.

00:38:14.959 --> 00:38:19.297 align:center
And it felt like this was about way more
than the result on this particular Sunday.

00:38:27.513 --> 00:38:32.101 align:center
Gradually, and then suddenly,
Roger claws his way back into the match.

00:38:43.612 --> 00:38:45.656 align:center
Rafa likes rhythm. I don't need it.

00:38:48.242 --> 00:38:49.994 align:center
When there's no rhythm,
I'm the better player.

00:38:50.077 --> 00:38:51.912 align:center
And I think Rafa also knows

00:38:51.996 --> 00:38:55.082 align:center
that this type of tennis
can make you extremely tired.

00:39:09.096 --> 00:39:10.222 align:center
Federer.

00:39:10.306 --> 00:39:11.932 align:center
Six games all.

00:39:12.016 --> 00:39:14.060 align:center
Fourth set, tie-break.

00:39:15.227 --> 00:39:18.773 align:center
You didn't think that
he was gonna give this championship away

00:39:18.856 --> 00:39:21.317 align:center
after five years as the boss.

00:39:25.821 --> 00:39:27.907 align:center
I wasn't calm at any moment.

00:39:28.491 --> 00:39:30.826 align:center
It was probably the worst day of my life.

00:39:32.411 --> 00:39:35.956 align:center
In the fourth set,
we reached the tie-break.

00:39:36.707 --> 00:39:41.170 align:center
It was, uh,
an extremely stressful situation for me.

00:39:41.670 --> 00:39:44.006 align:center
Because every point counts.

00:39:44.090 --> 00:39:46.884 align:center
Here we go. Fourth set tie-break.

00:39:53.516 --> 00:39:54.517 align:center
Come on!

00:40:02.108 --> 00:40:05.069 align:center
If all seven points
in the breaker are gonna be like that,

00:40:05.152 --> 00:40:06.821 align:center
the crowd are gonna lose their voices.

00:40:08.030 --> 00:40:10.282 align:center
There were multiple moments
when they played,

00:40:10.366 --> 00:40:12.118 align:center
"Anything you can do, I can do better."

00:40:19.792 --> 00:40:21.001 align:center
One all.

00:40:21.502 --> 00:40:23.921 align:center
They both deeply believed
it was their match to win.

00:40:24.964 --> 00:40:26.382 align:center
Two-one.

00:40:26.465 --> 00:40:27.550 align:center
Three-one.

00:40:28.300 --> 00:40:29.718 align:center
Four-one.

00:40:29.802 --> 00:40:32.179 align:center
Four-two, Nadal.

00:40:33.889 --> 00:40:37.893 align:center
That's wide!
And that could be the crucial blow!

00:40:37.977 --> 00:40:41.939 align:center
Uncle Toni can't even watch anymore.

00:40:42.022 --> 00:40:43.399 align:center
Five-two, Nadal.

00:40:43.482 --> 00:40:47.778 align:center
He's coached this young man
since he was four years old.

00:40:48.904 --> 00:40:52.116 align:center
Serving, the pressure is on him.

00:40:53.075 --> 00:40:57.830 align:center
Because 5-2 in the tie-break
of the fourth is almost a victory.

00:41:00.624 --> 00:41:01.667 align:center
Fault!

00:41:02.710 --> 00:41:03.752 align:center
Fault.

00:41:05.713 --> 00:41:07.798 align:center
At that moment, I was thinking,

00:41:07.882 --> 00:41:09.133 align:center
"Don't do a double fault."

00:41:14.054 --> 00:41:14.889 align:center
Fault!

00:41:14.972 --> 00:41:15.890 align:center
Double fault.

00:41:18.184 --> 00:41:19.477 align:center
Five-three.

00:41:19.560 --> 00:41:21.479 align:center
The moment and the situation

00:41:21.562 --> 00:41:25.107 align:center
take their toll on me and I make mistakes.

00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:29.320 align:center
He knows that
two or three bad points on his serve

00:41:29.403 --> 00:41:30.529 align:center
can cost him the match.

00:41:30.613 --> 00:41:34.116 align:center
And I think that stress
maybe manifested itself.

00:41:47.087 --> 00:41:49.965 align:center
There were too many missed opportunities.

00:41:50.549 --> 00:41:53.802 align:center
Moments like these
are to Federer's advantage.

00:42:11.487 --> 00:42:12.905 align:center
Stunning!

00:42:14.114 --> 00:42:15.574 align:center
Eight-seven, Nadal.

00:42:19.662 --> 00:42:22.248 align:center
I told Rafael, "If you have a match point,

00:42:22.331 --> 00:42:25.209 align:center
serve to his backhand and charge the net,

00:42:25.709 --> 00:42:27.253 align:center
so you don't think so much."

00:42:39.974 --> 00:42:41.100 align:center
Eight all.

00:42:44.895 --> 00:42:47.481 align:center
Federer didn't follow my lead,
he didn't miss.

00:42:48.774 --> 00:42:50.985 align:center
Championship point's gone for Nadal.

00:42:58.367 --> 00:43:00.286 align:center
Game. The fourth set.

00:43:01.662 --> 00:43:03.038 align:center
Two sets all.

00:43:03.539 --> 00:43:06.166 align:center
Nadal has had his heart ripped out.

00:43:06.250 --> 00:43:08.711 align:center
He must feel absolutely hollow.

00:43:09.503 --> 00:43:12.965 align:center
Up two sets
and then losing the two breakers

00:43:13.048 --> 00:43:16.385 align:center
certainly can make him
start to question things again.

00:43:16.885 --> 00:43:19.972 align:center
Like in 2007,
where he wasn't able to close.

00:43:21.265 --> 00:43:24.101 align:center
The inevitable
has finally struck Center Court.

00:43:24.184 --> 00:43:27.438 align:center
This band of sort of dark clouds,
it finally produced some rain,

00:43:27.521 --> 00:43:29.064 align:center
but it has in this…

00:43:30.149 --> 00:43:31.609 align:center
great exercise at Wimbledon.

00:43:32.484 --> 00:43:35.613 align:center
Back into the locker room once again.

00:43:38.949 --> 00:43:40.743 align:center
When I got to the locker room…

00:43:42.745 --> 00:43:45.623 align:center
I thought, "Okay, Rafael will be…

00:43:46.665 --> 00:43:50.753 align:center
he will be very upset, right?
After having lost so many opportunities."

00:43:53.881 --> 00:43:56.759 align:center
And I thought,
"What can I say to cheer him up?"

00:43:57.426 --> 00:43:58.469 align:center
And…

00:43:59.053 --> 00:44:00.888 align:center
I didn't have many ideas.

00:44:06.560 --> 00:44:10.064 align:center
And then, Rafael,
who was tying his shoes, said to me,

00:44:12.232 --> 00:44:14.234 align:center
"I think you can stop the rain."

00:44:14.818 --> 00:44:16.445 align:center
"I'm not going to lose."

00:44:17.571 --> 00:44:18.947 align:center
"I'm not going to lose."

00:44:21.784 --> 00:44:25.204 align:center
"He may beat me,
but I'm not going to lose. I'm not."

00:44:25.287 --> 00:44:28.791 align:center
"Mentally, I'm going to be 100%

00:44:29.291 --> 00:44:30.209 align:center
in every point."

00:44:30.959 --> 00:44:32.586 align:center
"I can't allow myself

00:44:33.712 --> 00:44:35.923 align:center
a single moment of weakness."

00:44:37.758 --> 00:44:41.428 align:center
I was willing to suffer more than him.

00:44:46.058 --> 00:44:47.935 align:center
A brief rain shower has passed.

00:44:48.018 --> 00:44:50.896 align:center
We've got one more segment

00:44:50.979 --> 00:44:54.900 align:center
to see if there will be
a Wimbledon champion declared tonight.

00:44:57.778 --> 00:45:01.573 align:center
And when I saw him
go back out on the court again,

00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:05.536 align:center
I knew he would win.

00:45:08.831 --> 00:45:13.627 align:center
Six and a half hours
of the entire exercise today.

00:45:14.128 --> 00:45:16.422 align:center
By that time, it was really dark.

00:45:17.005 --> 00:45:19.466 align:center
And my screen on my laptop
was just glowing.

00:45:23.387 --> 00:45:25.139 align:center
They should not have been playing tennis.

00:45:27.182 --> 00:45:28.600 align:center
But it was tremendous.

00:45:42.990 --> 00:45:44.491 align:center
Come on!

00:45:50.998 --> 00:45:53.417 align:center
It was a tough match.

00:45:56.128 --> 00:45:58.005 align:center
And you couldn't see much.

00:45:59.339 --> 00:46:01.133 align:center
And I was at my limit.

00:46:01.884 --> 00:46:05.679 align:center
Just focused on trying
to keep giving myself opportunities.

00:46:11.602 --> 00:46:14.480 align:center
There's always the temptation to give up.

00:46:15.564 --> 00:46:19.026 align:center
But when you get used
to enduring a little more…

00:46:19.109 --> 00:46:20.152 align:center
"That one more ball."

00:46:21.904 --> 00:46:23.655 align:center
That's what great champions do…

00:46:24.656 --> 00:46:26.825 align:center
endure one more ball.

00:46:29.912 --> 00:46:32.247 align:center
A phenomenal get by Nadal here.

00:46:32.748 --> 00:46:35.167 align:center
Now he's got the championship point.

00:46:37.252 --> 00:46:40.339 align:center
I think Roger,
at that moment, was at his limit.

00:46:42.174 --> 00:46:44.927 align:center
"He's waiting for me
to serve to his backhand."

00:46:45.594 --> 00:46:47.221 align:center
"Maybe I could surprise him."

00:46:48.972 --> 00:46:50.933 align:center
There are no easy balls.

00:46:53.018 --> 00:46:56.146 align:center
I had given him a ball
where he had time to think.

00:46:57.773 --> 00:47:00.484 align:center
Sometimes it's easier
to hit without thinking.

00:47:20.045 --> 00:47:22.881 align:center
There's not only one path to success.

00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:29.680 align:center
It's probably not necessary
to suffer the stress that I have suffered

00:47:29.763 --> 00:47:32.182 align:center
to become what I have become.

00:47:34.852 --> 00:47:38.605 align:center
But I followed the path
that Toni set for me.

00:47:40.315 --> 00:47:43.151 align:center
And I think it was the right path.

00:47:59.126 --> 00:48:00.961 align:center
Game, set, match, Nadal!

00:48:10.470 --> 00:48:12.806 align:center
People thought that I was a winner.

00:48:13.807 --> 00:48:15.309 align:center
I'm not a winner.

00:48:16.435 --> 00:48:17.936 align:center
I'm a competitor.

00:48:20.606 --> 00:48:21.648 align:center
Victory…

00:48:23.358 --> 00:48:25.068 align:center
lasts but a while.

00:48:26.236 --> 00:48:27.237 align:center
It's momentary.

00:48:27.321 --> 00:48:28.906 align:center
WIMBLEDON CHAMPION
CONGRATULATIONS, RAFA!

00:48:30.365 --> 00:48:32.409 align:center
What has always motivated me

00:48:32.492 --> 00:48:35.120 align:center
is the desire to keep fighting.

00:48:37.456 --> 00:48:38.665 align:center
'Cause the way I see it,

00:48:38.749 --> 00:48:41.001 align:center
satisfaction comes
from what's challenging.
.
