WEBVTT

00:22.856 --> 00:24.607
Oh…

00:24.691 --> 00:26.401
-It's over.
-Papa!

00:26.484 --> 00:28.778
Say, "Dad, I think Mom's leaving."

00:29.612 --> 00:30.572
Come here, come on.

00:30.655 --> 00:32.198
-Papa.
-Go to Dad, go.

00:32.282 --> 00:33.324
Papa!

00:33.408 --> 00:34.659
Aye! Aye! Aye!

00:39.414 --> 00:41.916
-Bye, Rafelet! Bye-bye.
-Say, "You got this."

00:42.000 --> 00:44.252
Yay!

00:48.631 --> 00:51.676
Everything's been sold out
for days, almost a week.

00:51.760 --> 00:55.388
That's because no one wants to miss
not just a Rafa Nadal match,

00:55.472 --> 00:57.557
but seeing Rafa Nadal in person.

00:58.058 --> 00:59.851
Lots of people today.

01:00.769 --> 01:04.230
Rafa! Rafa!

01:04.314 --> 01:06.441
What'd you like to see happen in Madrid

01:06.524 --> 01:09.527
in your comeback process
and preparation for Roland-Garros?

01:10.779 --> 01:13.114
For me, Roland-Garros is

01:13.198 --> 01:16.326
the most important tournament
of my tennis career.

01:16.409 --> 01:20.497
So, the next couple of weeks
are so important to…

01:20.997 --> 01:24.417
to see if that's
a real possibility or not.

01:29.464 --> 01:31.216
-Stay positive.
-Yeah.

01:31.299 --> 01:34.135
It's impossible to go from 0
just sitting to suddenly 100.

01:34.969 --> 01:37.388
But you're getting there. It's possible.

01:41.184 --> 01:43.603
This guy… he doesn't know what's coming.

01:59.119 --> 02:00.912
How many times is he gonna pee?

02:02.080 --> 02:04.082
I don't know if it's nerves or what.

02:07.252 --> 02:10.672
The toilet's outta water.

02:14.175 --> 02:15.635
Come on, man. Let's go.

02:24.227 --> 02:28.231
Rafa trained this morning,
getting ready for a complicated match.

02:28.314 --> 02:31.442
He faces Alex de Miñaur,
number 11 in the world.

02:32.318 --> 02:34.529
What chance do we give Rafa today?

02:34.612 --> 02:36.573
I think a low percentage chance.

02:36.656 --> 02:38.324
If you're Nadal, in the back of your mind,

02:38.408 --> 02:42.036
you're scared that
you might just re-injure yourself.

02:46.958 --> 02:48.459
I ended up giving my life

02:48.543 --> 02:52.046
to one of the most
individual sports that exists.

02:54.841 --> 02:58.678
A sport that creates pressure and stress.

03:01.306 --> 03:04.225
You feel nervous. The nerves are real.

03:05.393 --> 03:07.520
That's why, throughout my career,

03:08.021 --> 03:10.982
my routines helped me a lot
to cope with all that.

03:19.282 --> 03:20.867
It was usually…

03:21.951 --> 03:22.952
pants…

03:23.870 --> 03:28.291
this, this, this, this, this, this,

03:28.875 --> 03:30.835
this, this, this…

03:31.836 --> 03:32.712
and this.

03:34.005 --> 03:37.133
During the game,
I would avoid stepping on the lines.

03:39.093 --> 03:40.678
And on clay courts,

03:40.762 --> 03:43.348
I'd sweep the lines
at the beginning of each game

03:44.265 --> 03:46.434
and, then, at break points.

03:49.687 --> 03:53.650
It was a way to shut myself off
from everything around me.

03:56.527 --> 03:58.238
Come on, Rafa!

03:59.489 --> 04:01.407
I'm in control when I do them.

04:07.163 --> 04:10.124
A win today
could make the tennis world take note.

04:10.208 --> 04:11.584
Come on!

04:11.668 --> 04:14.003
Rafa is here to seriously play.

04:14.963 --> 04:16.923
This is vintage stuff.

04:17.757 --> 04:20.301
Fabulous ball striking from Nadal.

04:21.094 --> 04:24.681
To have that feeling you get
by competing at the highest level.

04:24.764 --> 04:27.558
It's the same amount
of potency as we're used to seeing.

04:27.642 --> 04:30.311
To have the confidence
that I'm going to win.

04:31.354 --> 04:33.648
That feeling in your stomach.

04:34.148 --> 04:35.942
Nadal, a game away.

04:36.567 --> 04:39.988
You wonder,
"How long can I hold on to this feeling?"

04:40.738 --> 04:44.075
Game, set, and match, Nadal.

04:44.575 --> 04:49.914
It's an enormous win
for Rafael Nadal's 2024 campaign.

04:50.915 --> 04:53.960
Because you know
this feeling won't last forever.

04:54.460 --> 05:00.049
Rafa! Rafa! Rafa!

05:00.133 --> 05:01.551
Rafa!

05:03.636 --> 05:07.056
Let's go! Very good!

05:13.688 --> 05:15.523
The bulldozer is back.

05:18.359 --> 05:20.820
I hadn't seen you play like that
in a long time, man.

05:21.571 --> 05:22.613
Seriously.

05:23.406 --> 05:25.575
Anyway, you played really well today.

05:26.117 --> 05:27.368
You used to run a lot more.

05:27.869 --> 05:30.663
-If you say so.
-I'm not saying it, I saw it.

05:32.457 --> 05:33.833
It's good to do a little.

05:33.916 --> 05:36.085
You didn't strain yourself much,
but still.

05:36.169 --> 05:37.754
Okay, but I feel fine.

05:37.837 --> 05:40.506
Okay,
but do at least five minutes, just five.

05:40.590 --> 05:41.841
While you drink that.

05:46.763 --> 05:50.141
Being here
and seeing him competitive and happy,

05:51.768 --> 05:53.644
for me, is a win.

05:55.396 --> 05:57.565
He needs that confidence because…

05:58.399 --> 06:01.569
everything depends on him
believing that he can win.

06:05.073 --> 06:07.200
…his opponent, from Spain,

06:07.283 --> 06:09.035
Rafael Nadal!

06:10.870 --> 06:12.955
So much at stake here.

06:14.123 --> 06:15.958
Federer, desperate.

06:16.042 --> 06:19.629
Having lost to Nadal last year on clay,
lost to him on grass,

06:19.712 --> 06:22.757
now he certainly doesn't want
to lose to him on hard courts.

06:24.509 --> 06:27.512
It was one of the greatest matches
we played against each other.

06:32.100 --> 06:33.726
Federer's gotta be thinking,

06:33.810 --> 06:36.979
"What do I have to do
to put this guy away?"

06:37.647 --> 06:38.773
Rafa was

06:39.273 --> 06:40.942
just at the absolute peak.

06:45.613 --> 06:46.781
Come on!

06:47.281 --> 06:49.700
Rafael Nadal wins in Melbourne

06:49.784 --> 06:52.203
at the Australian Open,
for the first time.

06:53.204 --> 06:55.998
Rafa Nadal
is the new number 1 in the world.

06:56.082 --> 06:58.501
The Federer era is over.

07:03.881 --> 07:07.176
He does things
on the court that nobody else could do.

07:12.890 --> 07:15.601
The new champion, Rafael Nadal!

07:16.102 --> 07:19.814
The invincible man, Rafa Nadal!

07:21.149 --> 07:23.776
2010 is, in some ways, prime Rafa.

07:23.860 --> 07:25.111
He wins at Roland-Garros.

07:25.945 --> 07:28.698
Ends up winning his second Wimbledon.

07:29.699 --> 07:31.701
And I remember the discussion shifts.

07:31.784 --> 07:34.412
We were all seduced by Roger Federer, but…

07:34.495 --> 07:39.250
"Holy shit! Maybe this
is the greatest player that ever lived."

07:42.628 --> 07:46.048
Rafael Nadal is
the top-ranked tennis player in the world.

07:47.008 --> 07:48.551
He's in New York for the US Open,

07:48.634 --> 07:52.096
the only major tournament
Nadal hasn't won.

07:53.556 --> 07:54.599
Pressure.

07:55.808 --> 07:57.226
That's what I felt.

07:57.852 --> 07:59.896
Because, by winning the US Open,

07:59.979 --> 08:02.315
I would have won all four Grand Slams.

08:02.815 --> 08:03.816
For a tennis player,

08:03.900 --> 08:06.402
winning all four Slams is something

08:06.486 --> 08:08.821
that very few people have done.

08:09.655 --> 08:12.450
Tennis fans
around the world hoping it will be

08:12.533 --> 08:14.535
this man and Roger Federer.

08:14.619 --> 08:18.456
Everybody around the world is…
wants that final so badly.

08:25.171 --> 08:27.173
Live from the men's championship,

08:27.256 --> 08:29.926
world number 1, Rafa Nadal,

08:30.885 --> 08:34.013
against number 3 seed, Novak Djokovic.

08:38.601 --> 08:40.603
Rafa and Roger in the finals.

08:40.686 --> 08:43.064
That was the scenario
everybody wants to see.

08:43.564 --> 08:45.858
But I didn't care. Actually…

08:46.609 --> 08:50.279
I did care to not allow that to happen.

08:51.906 --> 08:55.576
Now, of course,
with Novak Djokovic as well, in the mix.

08:58.246 --> 08:59.205
At that moment,

08:59.288 --> 09:03.834
I saw the danger that not only Roger
was fighting for number 1.

09:03.918 --> 09:06.045
But Novak was also coming in.

09:08.965 --> 09:11.634
Nadal and Novak, they had a history.

09:12.134 --> 09:15.388
They had played for the first time
on tour at the French Open, 2006.

09:17.974 --> 09:20.268
Novak made his first big run at a major.

09:20.351 --> 09:22.061
But he hadn't done much until then.

09:22.937 --> 09:26.440
And he ended up losing
the first two sets to Rafa, 6-4, 6-4.

09:26.524 --> 09:28.192
Then he retired citing a back injury.

09:28.276 --> 09:29.819
Game, set, and match, Nadal.

09:29.902 --> 09:33.072
Even though he's the best
and everybody thinks he's unbeatable,

09:33.155 --> 09:35.241
I say he's not unbeatable, he's beatable.

09:35.324 --> 09:36.617
Are you kidding me?

09:36.701 --> 09:38.661
Djokovic, do you need some smelling salts?

09:38.744 --> 09:40.871
It was a heavyweight
versus a middleweight.

09:40.955 --> 09:42.540
You were being pushed back.

09:42.623 --> 09:46.794
It felt like Rafa and Roger
were crafted by the tennis gods.

09:48.838 --> 09:52.550
And so I had to fight
for my place under the sun.

09:56.137 --> 09:59.682
Djokovic is totally different
in character from Roger and Rafa.

10:00.391 --> 10:03.853
I mean, he was someone
who was constantly making jokes.

10:03.936 --> 10:07.273
He was doing these imitations of players,
including Rafa.

10:09.692 --> 10:11.319
He wasn't a shy person.

10:13.571 --> 10:16.282
It really didn't… bother me.

10:16.365 --> 10:17.825
No.

10:18.409 --> 10:19.535
Although, it…

10:21.662 --> 10:24.081
I don't remember very well
if it bothered me.

10:24.165 --> 10:26.375
Not much. Surely, not much.

10:28.127 --> 10:32.757
Rafa Nadal. So much
at stake for this 24-year-old Spaniard.

10:47.438 --> 10:48.481
Wow!

10:48.564 --> 10:51.442
Djokovic would've won this point
against anyone else.

10:51.525 --> 10:53.736
When you looked at Djokovic,

10:53.819 --> 10:57.239
you could tell he was confident
because he was playing really well.

10:58.157 --> 11:00.076
That could be a big problem.

11:00.159 --> 11:01.952
Djokovic, with all this effort,

11:02.036 --> 11:06.040
it's even now more incredible
what Nadal's pulling off.

11:13.172 --> 11:15.341
His career slam is grand.

11:16.133 --> 11:17.718
Rafael Nadal!

11:18.219 --> 11:20.930
The final jewel in his crown.

11:23.766 --> 11:26.268
Please welcome US Open Men's Champion,

11:26.352 --> 11:27.395
Rafael Nadal!

11:29.939 --> 11:32.108
After winning the US Open,

11:32.191 --> 11:34.276
it was a bit of a media frenzy.

11:35.653 --> 11:37.405
Rafa, I love you!

11:38.322 --> 11:40.116
But I've never liked

11:40.991 --> 11:42.827
being the center of attention.

11:43.786 --> 11:46.163
Please welcome Rafael Nadal.

11:47.707 --> 11:51.419
I remember a lot of media telling me,
"He's gonna love to do this." Well…

11:52.336 --> 11:54.588
I would say, in a very polite way,

11:54.672 --> 11:56.507
"No, that's not the right word."

11:56.590 --> 11:58.426
I have no idea what this is.

12:01.220 --> 12:03.222
Looks like you in your underpants.

12:03.305 --> 12:05.599
He knew it was part of his job,

12:05.683 --> 12:08.602
but, yeah,
doing something out of his comfort zone,

12:08.686 --> 12:09.937
you know, was not easy.

12:10.980 --> 12:14.442
I remember when I went
to do a music video with Shakira.

12:15.526 --> 12:20.030
I had to ask for a bottle of tequila
to drink a few shots to relax a bit.

12:23.159 --> 12:24.952
You're kind of a sex symbol.

12:25.035 --> 12:26.120
No, I don't know…

12:26.203 --> 12:29.123
I really never stop to think these things.

12:29.206 --> 12:31.417
So, Rafael, uh, you got a girlfriend?

12:32.918 --> 12:33.919
I have.

12:34.420 --> 12:37.006
I can't get over the way
you're flirting with him!

12:39.467 --> 12:42.470
People don't know
that he is, in essence, a shy person.

12:46.056 --> 12:47.224
Good luck, Nadal!

12:48.142 --> 12:51.103
We grew up in a very small town.

12:54.315 --> 12:57.109
Our families knew each other

12:57.193 --> 12:59.278
since before we were born.

13:00.863 --> 13:04.450
I remember, for example,
being at Rafa's first communion.

13:06.035 --> 13:08.496
But, of course,
I would've been six years old.

13:10.164 --> 13:14.627
We got to know each other better
when we were teenagers.

13:16.337 --> 13:19.298
I remember we started dating
during a summer.

13:19.381 --> 13:21.884
It was 2000…
It must've been the summer of…

13:21.967 --> 13:24.637
I'm really bad at these things.
Rafa's gonna kill me.

13:25.387 --> 13:27.264
You're good with those text messages, huh?

13:27.348 --> 13:28.224
Well…

13:29.433 --> 13:31.769
He was chasing me during that time.

13:33.103 --> 13:36.524
I started sending her some messages and…

13:36.607 --> 13:39.735
she would reply,
but without much interest.

13:39.819 --> 13:41.904
Don't be sad. She'll come around.

13:41.987 --> 13:44.240
I'm a mess right now.

13:44.824 --> 13:45.866
Mary!

13:46.492 --> 13:48.035
Answer, please!

13:49.829 --> 13:50.955
Wha…!

13:53.123 --> 13:54.583
I was in love with her.

13:55.417 --> 13:58.212
She gave me the inner strength…

13:59.338 --> 14:01.173
to maintain stability

14:02.049 --> 14:03.467
when I really needed it.

14:05.844 --> 14:08.556
Rafa really likes to be at home,

14:09.682 --> 14:12.351
with his family, in Mallorca…

14:13.811 --> 14:18.357
I lived at home
with my parents until I was…

14:18.440 --> 14:20.526
31? 32?

14:21.110 --> 14:23.571
I never felt like leaving. No.

14:25.531 --> 14:29.410
In our family,
we have always been very close.

14:34.415 --> 14:38.252
When we were living in Manacor,
our grandparents lived on the first floor.

14:38.752 --> 14:41.964
Toni on the second floor,
and we were on the third.

14:42.923 --> 14:44.300
So ever since he was a kid,

14:44.383 --> 14:47.970
he's always spent
a lot of time with our family.

14:51.015 --> 14:53.976
And I think that
this has also made him grow up

14:54.059 --> 14:58.188
in a very family-oriented
and also very safe environment.

15:09.825 --> 15:11.619
To me, being at home,

15:12.494 --> 15:13.495
I feel like

15:13.996 --> 15:16.874
I can be more myself.

15:18.584 --> 15:21.170
Jerry! Eat this. There's some left.

15:25.299 --> 15:27.843
I feel like I can be more myself.

15:28.427 --> 15:30.471
Which are the ones with Nutella?

15:31.555 --> 15:33.349
And live like someone…

15:33.974 --> 15:35.309
with a normal life.

15:37.561 --> 15:40.731
Rafelet!? What a miss! Way off!

15:40.814 --> 15:42.524
Incredible!

15:43.859 --> 15:46.028
Okay, focus. One more try.

15:47.154 --> 15:49.490
Good! That was so good!

15:53.911 --> 15:56.538
This is good. Really good.

15:57.122 --> 16:00.209
-I only wanted a small piece.
-No, go ahead, eat.

16:00.793 --> 16:02.628
You're at your best right now.

16:06.173 --> 16:07.549
You don't notice, but…

16:09.885 --> 16:12.554
you're at a point
where you look spectacular.

16:15.182 --> 16:16.517
Did you treat me?

16:26.193 --> 16:29.363
At the end of the day,
Rafa got in three wins in Madrid.

16:29.446 --> 16:31.240
He was able to make some strides.

16:31.323 --> 16:34.993
Proved to himself that he could play
match after match, healthwise.

16:35.077 --> 16:37.746
What's your biggest takeaway
from this tournament for Nadal?

16:37.830 --> 16:40.082
My biggest takeaway is there's optimism.

16:43.335 --> 16:44.545
Brutal, man.

16:45.421 --> 16:47.047
-Mentally, he's doing well.
-What?

16:47.131 --> 16:48.424
His head's in a good place today.

16:48.507 --> 16:51.552
Now it's… He has a week, effectively,

16:51.635 --> 16:53.595
before he would start in Rome.

16:53.679 --> 16:56.682
Ultimately, he's playing
the long game for Roland-Garros.

16:56.765 --> 16:59.268
If he feels the way he's felt this week,

16:59.351 --> 17:01.395
he will be playing Roland-Garros.

17:02.896 --> 17:05.816
He's having his best moment
since last year.

17:07.860 --> 17:10.237
And in the end, what matters is that…

17:12.406 --> 17:14.408
he sees himself playing well.

17:15.826 --> 17:19.371
And to have his son see him lift a trophy,

17:20.414 --> 17:22.249
that's what he wants most in life.

17:22.332 --> 17:25.210
And, of course,
for his son to see him win.

17:29.506 --> 17:30.799
Ladies and gentlemen,

17:30.883 --> 17:34.720
the winner of the 2010
US Open Men's Championship,

17:34.803 --> 17:36.805
Rafael Nadal!

17:38.348 --> 17:41.518
At that time,
I was the best player in the world.

17:43.145 --> 17:44.563
But that's never enough.

17:46.065 --> 17:50.152
To be the best player in the world,
you have to prove it in every tournament.

17:52.237 --> 17:55.491
Let's transition now
to the men's singles final.

17:56.158 --> 17:59.620
Rafael Nadal,
the number 1 ranked player in the world,

17:59.703 --> 18:02.122
taking on Novak Djokovic.

18:02.623 --> 18:06.710
The hottest player.
Hasn't fared well in finals against Rafa,

18:06.794 --> 18:08.796
so that's a big asterisk.

18:09.755 --> 18:12.674
The feeling with Djokovic was,
he's very good,

18:12.758 --> 18:16.095
but he's still not able to beat
the best when it really matters.

18:18.639 --> 18:20.641
But in 2011, the threat becomes real.

18:29.233 --> 18:31.360
Everybody wants to take down the number 1.

18:33.111 --> 18:36.657
So, being the hunter oftentimes is better.

18:37.241 --> 18:38.826
Because you feel like

18:39.326 --> 18:42.955
you want to fight for your success,
rather than defend it.

18:44.331 --> 18:47.417
Djokovic takes a commanding lead!

18:47.501 --> 18:49.586
So, it's a psychological battle.

18:50.170 --> 18:52.548
I see frustration from Nadal now.

18:52.631 --> 18:54.341
Don't see that very often.

18:55.551 --> 18:59.429
There comes a time
when players who are very good…

19:01.807 --> 19:02.766
Oh!

19:02.850 --> 19:06.270
…can make drastic changes
in a short amount of time.

19:07.729 --> 19:10.983
Novak Djokovic is your champion here!

19:13.235 --> 19:17.322
We'll see how far Djokovic
can take this momentum.

19:18.115 --> 19:20.993
The next match together,
they played again in a final.

19:21.076 --> 19:22.244
Now in Miami.

19:25.205 --> 19:27.833
Now, he is the one with the pressure.

19:31.670 --> 19:35.549
With Djokovic,
the matches were very tough.

19:36.258 --> 19:38.260
You got to be kidding me!

19:38.343 --> 19:40.637
Rafa always said,
"If I play against Federer,

19:40.721 --> 19:43.182
I know that if I play six,
seven good shots,

19:43.265 --> 19:45.017
I'm probably going to win the point."

19:46.685 --> 19:48.979
How does he get a racket on that?

19:49.479 --> 19:52.441
"Against Djokovic,
I could hit 15 and still lose."

19:55.360 --> 19:57.237
He's done it!

20:00.824 --> 20:02.951
When I lose the final in Miami,

20:03.660 --> 20:06.705
I realized that my mind
isn't reacting like it used to.

20:07.289 --> 20:08.874
Novak Djokovic.

20:09.374 --> 20:11.793
Djokovic hasn't lost a match all year.

20:12.794 --> 20:17.925
But, of course, let's not forget
that he's never beaten Nadal on clay.

20:19.760 --> 20:23.472
You could sense
that there's some doubt in him,

20:23.555 --> 20:25.974
and I wanted him to feel that.

20:38.779 --> 20:41.448
Victory for Djokovic

20:41.531 --> 20:43.367
on the Spaniard's beloved clay.

20:46.286 --> 20:49.748
There's a moment
when you start to lose your confidence.

20:50.916 --> 20:53.502
And it's the fish that bites its own tail.

20:54.211 --> 20:56.838
I start failing, I lose confidence.

20:56.922 --> 20:58.882
I lose confidence, I fail even more.

20:58.966 --> 21:02.719
Oh! Djokovic is the champion in Rome!

21:03.220 --> 21:05.472
That's where I felt,
"Okay, I got in his head,

21:05.555 --> 21:07.099
now I just need to keep going."

21:07.683 --> 21:10.644
I had in my head that he had surpassed me.

21:11.436 --> 21:15.357
And it's been Nadal,
who at critical junctures, has missed.

21:16.441 --> 21:18.986
Which we're so not used
to seeing that from Rafa.

21:23.073 --> 21:24.157
-Out!
-That's wide.

21:24.241 --> 21:26.785
Novak Djokovic is your champion here

21:26.868 --> 21:30.706
and, you'd have to say,
he's the best player in the world.

21:31.290 --> 21:34.042
Now, that is five straight victories

21:34.126 --> 21:36.294
over Rafa Nadal.

21:36.795 --> 21:40.090
I remember Rafa
walks into that press conference.

21:41.341 --> 21:44.386
A guy who was sort of dazed.

21:46.304 --> 21:48.307
You had a feeling Novak had, like…

21:49.433 --> 21:50.851
taken his soul.

21:51.601 --> 21:55.439
I lose because I'm playing against
the best player of the moment,

21:55.522 --> 21:58.650
the best player of the world, tomorrow.

21:58.734 --> 21:59.776
And…

22:01.987 --> 22:03.405
…and I am the second.

22:03.905 --> 22:07.409
The great Rafa Nadal
now seemed kind of broken.

22:08.577 --> 22:12.039
2011 US Open Men's Singles Champion,

22:12.122 --> 22:13.957
Novak Djokovic!

22:15.542 --> 22:16.877
It was a disaster.

22:19.046 --> 22:21.757
He couldn't fight anymore.
He didn't know how.

22:25.427 --> 22:27.012
It's a stressful time

22:27.512 --> 22:29.181
that you have to overcome.

22:31.600 --> 22:34.853
And if you don't overcome it,
then you stop being good.

22:39.649 --> 22:43.987
Toni has helped him a lot
to become as strong as he has been.

22:44.780 --> 22:49.368
But as a mother,
I was worried about all that pressure.

22:49.868 --> 22:54.122
Because he started
to have to fight battles in his head

22:54.206 --> 22:56.708
at a very young age.

23:01.505 --> 23:04.007
"It always seems
like I have to be better."

23:05.217 --> 23:07.552
"It always seems like it's not enough."

23:08.845 --> 23:11.223
"It always seems
like you have to go higher."

23:12.516 --> 23:14.643
Rafael Nadal has been confirmed

23:14.726 --> 23:17.145
as the best under-14 player in Spain.

23:17.771 --> 23:21.358
That even if
you get higher, you won't be the best.

23:21.441 --> 23:23.443
You have to go even higher.

23:23.527 --> 23:27.197
-What do you plan to do now?
-Continue training, I guess.

23:27.280 --> 23:30.075
I don't know,
I think this tournament is important,

23:30.158 --> 23:32.619
but winning this tournament doesn't mean

23:32.702 --> 23:35.747
that you are already a very good player.

23:37.082 --> 23:39.793
All this creates insecurities in you.

23:41.378 --> 23:45.549
And here we go again.
Sock. The hair is coming next.

23:47.634 --> 23:49.761
As time has gone by,

23:49.845 --> 23:52.013
he has been adding routines.

23:52.097 --> 23:54.850
-Come on, Rafael!
-Come on!

23:56.059 --> 23:57.310
Time.

23:59.604 --> 24:00.689
This, this,

24:00.772 --> 24:03.692
the bottles, this,
the lines, this, waiting…

24:03.775 --> 24:07.154
So I told him, "Well, stop doing it.
We're making a fool of ourselves."

24:10.073 --> 24:15.328
There were times when I tried
to get rid of some routines.

24:18.248 --> 24:20.375
Because, when I saw myself on TV,

24:20.458 --> 24:23.086
I didn't like to see myself
doing those things.

24:23.587 --> 24:25.213
But, uh…

24:26.798 --> 24:28.008
But I couldn't.

24:29.009 --> 24:30.093
I needed them.

24:32.095 --> 24:34.055
They made me feel safe.

24:37.350 --> 24:39.227
Everyone feels pressure.

24:40.270 --> 24:42.564
But, of course, that's why you're good.

24:44.065 --> 24:46.151
Because you can handle that pressure.

24:57.287 --> 25:00.582
Another week of training.
Getting back into the rhythm, into shape.

25:00.665 --> 25:02.209
Three, four matches in Rome.

25:02.292 --> 25:04.753
I don't think
he should put pressure on himself.

25:04.836 --> 25:07.797
He has to go out there and play.
See how things go.

25:11.384 --> 25:13.386
There was an unevenness on this side,

25:13.470 --> 25:15.222
but not on that side.

25:16.181 --> 25:17.766
That one was much less.

25:24.439 --> 25:26.816
-You play backhand to him, okay?
-Okay.

25:26.900 --> 25:28.610
Hit hard. Let's see that forehand.

25:34.032 --> 25:36.493
To me, it's all about
him controlling his mind.

25:36.993 --> 25:40.413
If he's nervous,
he volleys badly, hits badly,

25:40.497 --> 25:42.207
moves all over the place.

25:42.791 --> 25:45.669
He's slow, reacts late,
gets uncoordinated, all that.

25:48.338 --> 25:49.422
And when he's calm…

25:51.299 --> 25:52.926
everything's better, man.

25:58.765 --> 26:01.017
-Do a reset now, yeah?
-Come on.

26:01.101 --> 26:03.353
I've been resetting
the whole training session

26:03.436 --> 26:05.188
because I keep acting like a moron.

26:07.107 --> 26:09.150
What is it that you need the most?

26:09.234 --> 26:11.695
What we need the most is…

26:12.195 --> 26:13.697
to beat Djokovic.

26:17.826 --> 26:20.161
Novak was winning the mental battle

26:20.662 --> 26:22.539
and I needed to change that.

26:24.541 --> 26:27.168
To me, it's not just a mental issue,

26:27.252 --> 26:28.920
it's a preparation issue.

26:30.046 --> 26:33.008
I can give you confidence,
once you are prepared.

26:35.969 --> 26:37.470
The change was the forehand.

26:37.554 --> 26:39.264
A more aggressive forehand.

26:40.849 --> 26:43.018
I remember showing him clips.

26:43.101 --> 26:47.772
I told him, "Federer and Djokovic,
when they hit a winner, they jump."

26:48.940 --> 26:51.693
With that, they get an extra
in terms of speed

26:51.776 --> 26:55.322
and, more importantly,
an extra to their will to win.

26:56.990 --> 26:59.492
I made him hit winners from this side,

26:59.576 --> 27:02.537
from that side, from here, from there…

27:03.246 --> 27:04.289
Come on.

27:07.208 --> 27:09.711
Toni helped me change the situation.

27:09.794 --> 27:12.714
I was starting to feel mentally prepared.

27:24.934 --> 27:26.686
What a match it's going to be.

27:27.187 --> 27:31.149
They are both at the top of their game.
The two best players in the world.

27:31.649 --> 27:36.071
The difference for Rafael Nadal
this time is that he is number 2.

27:36.988 --> 27:38.031
He is the hunter,

27:39.074 --> 27:39.991
rather than the hunted.

27:49.000 --> 27:52.420
There's the forehand.
This is the one that does the damage.

27:52.504 --> 27:55.507
I don't know what happened,
but he was so aggressive.

28:00.387 --> 28:03.973
My forehands were more damaging
than a few months before.

28:06.351 --> 28:09.270
An incredible forehand,
that's the favorite shot.

28:09.354 --> 28:12.107
Rafael Nadal takes the first set

28:12.190 --> 28:14.401
after one hour and twenty minutes.

28:15.318 --> 28:17.946
But, even though I may feel better,

28:18.029 --> 28:22.075
I also think about what happened
a few months before.

28:25.662 --> 28:28.081
Djokovic levels up the match.

28:39.008 --> 28:41.094
Djokovic looks so confident.

28:41.177 --> 28:44.556
In contrast,
the look on Rafa's face told a lot.

28:45.557 --> 28:47.767
You can sense that Nadal's thinking,

28:47.851 --> 28:49.185
"This is déjà vu."

28:49.686 --> 28:53.648
It is going to take
a Herculean effort from the Spaniard

28:53.732 --> 28:56.192
to take it out to five sets.

28:57.110 --> 28:58.778
Throughout the whole year,

28:58.862 --> 29:01.406
when the important moments
against Novak came,

29:02.198 --> 29:06.035
I'd feel that, mentally,
I didn't fully believe

29:06.119 --> 29:07.203
that I could win.

29:09.914 --> 29:12.834
But here, what I had been feeling…

29:14.627 --> 29:15.712
Out!

29:16.754 --> 29:17.922
…was changing.

29:18.923 --> 29:21.259
It is two sets apiece.

29:24.721 --> 29:28.808
Nadal collapses to his knees
and then bounces straight back up,

29:28.892 --> 29:32.520
because he knows
the job is still there to be done.

29:32.604 --> 29:36.441
This is the first time
Nadal truly believes that he can win.

29:36.524 --> 29:38.401
He's been hoping, he's been wanting,

29:38.485 --> 29:41.488
but this is the first time
he truly believes it.

29:42.655 --> 29:46.993
Officially,
the longest Grand Slam final in history.

29:51.456 --> 29:54.918
Djokovic stretching
to try and keep limber and loose.

29:55.001 --> 29:56.503
The fifth set was brutal.

29:58.171 --> 30:00.965
I'd say it was physically… devastating.

30:04.761 --> 30:06.137
Oh, boy!

30:06.221 --> 30:07.847
Djokovic is down.

30:08.431 --> 30:10.266
Thirty-one points in the rally.

30:10.350 --> 30:14.020
The crowd just standing and applauding.
They're standing up here.

30:14.562 --> 30:16.397
I was really worn out.

30:16.940 --> 30:22.153
Doubt was creeping in more and more
whether I can pull this through.

30:23.863 --> 30:25.782
I was suffering.

30:26.783 --> 30:28.743
But I was also enjoying

30:28.827 --> 30:31.996
seeing myself once again competing

30:32.789 --> 30:34.040
at the highest level.

30:34.832 --> 30:37.418
Nadal leads 4-2.

30:38.336 --> 30:39.712
He was a break up.

30:41.464 --> 30:43.508
And I still remember that point.

30:47.345 --> 30:49.848
He plays drop shot.
I play counter drop shot.

30:51.349 --> 30:52.600
A pretty bad one.

30:54.686 --> 30:57.355
A passing shot. Very, very easy.

31:00.775 --> 31:04.445
By winning this point,
the match was basically won.

31:09.868 --> 31:10.910
Out!

31:10.994 --> 31:13.830
Nadal challenges.
The call was a little late.

31:16.416 --> 31:17.625
Oh, boy!

31:17.709 --> 31:18.918
Can you believe it!

31:25.633 --> 31:26.801
It hurts to watch.

31:39.772 --> 31:43.192
As brave a performance
as Rafael Nadal has produced,

31:43.276 --> 31:45.653
he still walks away empty-handed.

31:48.740 --> 31:50.700
There are times when you lose a match

31:50.783 --> 31:53.161
and see it in a negative
or a positive way.

32:01.252 --> 32:03.630
And that day I lost the match,

32:05.048 --> 32:10.094
but I wasn't frustrated, or devastated,
or anything like that.

32:11.888 --> 32:12.889
I was satisfied.

32:15.391 --> 32:17.226
I had overcome my mental barrier.

32:19.270 --> 32:20.688
I felt that…

32:21.773 --> 32:23.107
I was back.

32:31.366 --> 32:33.284
Rafa Nadal will be debuting in Rome.

32:33.368 --> 32:36.245
The Masters 1000
is starting today in the Italian capital.

32:36.329 --> 32:38.790
The last tournament
before Roland-Garros begins.

32:41.376 --> 32:44.087
It's time to push and see where he is at

32:44.170 --> 32:46.130
and how he can get to Paris.

32:46.214 --> 32:48.549
The key here is to avoid injuries.

32:49.133 --> 32:51.552
And, in Paris, to give it all.

32:58.393 --> 32:59.435
Oh!

33:01.604 --> 33:03.314
He's a completely different player now.

33:04.565 --> 33:05.858
The beast, huh?

33:13.199 --> 33:17.662
Almost three hours
on the clock. Nadal looking to seal it.

33:23.334 --> 33:25.378
Win using your head, Rafael.

33:26.295 --> 33:27.672
Come on, Rafael! Let's go!

33:38.182 --> 33:40.059
-Ah!
-Come on!

33:41.144 --> 33:43.396
Come on! Come on!

33:44.355 --> 33:47.775
4-6, 6-3, 6-4.

33:51.529 --> 33:55.366
Rafa Nadal wins on his return
to the courts of the Italian Open.

33:55.450 --> 33:58.411
This afternoon
we have seen him stronger, more positive,

33:58.494 --> 34:01.372
and fully aware of what he is capable of.

34:11.257 --> 34:14.761
The 2012 champion, Novak Djokovic!

34:17.805 --> 34:22.185
In 2012,
I'm coming from losing all those finals.

34:22.268 --> 34:24.729
Rafa! Rafa!

34:24.812 --> 34:29.358
But I'm mentally prepared
to try to be able to win.

34:34.822 --> 34:37.325
-Come on!
-Game, Nadal.

34:37.992 --> 34:39.285
Rafa, in 2012,

34:39.368 --> 34:41.746
is on an upward trend.

34:43.247 --> 34:44.582
It's a Rafa special!

34:45.166 --> 34:47.293
Game, Nadal!

34:49.045 --> 34:52.131
I had just won at Monte-Carlo,
Barcelona, Rome…

34:54.008 --> 34:56.886
And that's when I started
to feel pain in my knee.

35:01.557 --> 35:04.143
But, at that moment, I wanted to play.

35:04.227 --> 35:06.813
I was feeling good, I wanted to play.
I wanted to win.

35:10.107 --> 35:12.401
With my knee in really bad shape…

35:14.654 --> 35:16.114
…I won Roland-Garros.

35:19.492 --> 35:21.911
So I thought, I'm gonna be number 1 again.

35:21.994 --> 35:23.955
Rafael Nadal!

35:28.376 --> 35:30.503
My knee, in my opinion,

35:30.586 --> 35:32.588
was limiting me quite a bit.

35:33.506 --> 35:35.133
But, I've always felt that,

35:35.216 --> 35:37.051
if my mind is willing,

35:38.636 --> 35:39.679
my body can do it.

35:46.018 --> 35:47.186
Whoa!

36:08.416 --> 36:10.209
My knee was shattered.

36:12.879 --> 36:16.132
The tendon, basically, had a hole in it.

36:21.762 --> 36:24.807
Rafa Nadal has withdrawn
from the Olympic Games and the US Open,

36:24.891 --> 36:26.767
where he was a finalist last year.

36:28.603 --> 36:30.605
PATELLAR
TENDINOPATHY

36:31.814 --> 36:34.358
Those injuries that have been appearing…

36:34.859 --> 36:36.777
are not a coincidence.

36:37.904 --> 36:41.032
They are a consequence of a large,
underlying problem.

36:43.034 --> 36:46.829
The fact that I had to play
with an insole throughout my career,

36:47.955 --> 36:50.333
threw the rest of my body outta whack.

36:54.629 --> 36:56.714
From the knee to the foot,

36:57.590 --> 36:58.716
it's a chain.

37:01.469 --> 37:04.221
So we make some changes to the foot,

37:04.305 --> 37:08.184
and those changes
have an impact on the entire chain.

37:13.439 --> 37:17.443
This was an injury that
was not like when you have a fracture,

37:17.526 --> 37:21.197
where you sort of know the time frame
for returning to competition.

37:24.533 --> 37:25.993
Does it hurt?

37:27.161 --> 37:28.412
Okay. Easy then.

37:28.496 --> 37:30.581
Rafael Nadal will not be participating

37:30.665 --> 37:31.624
in the Australian Open.

37:31.707 --> 37:35.252
Novak Djokovic
has won his fourth title in Melbourne,

37:35.336 --> 37:37.255
his third in a row.

37:37.755 --> 37:41.842
Djokovic has made it clear
once again who is number 1.

37:46.555 --> 37:48.766
After so many months without playing,

37:48.849 --> 37:51.852
there were many people saying,
"Rafa Nadal is finished."

37:51.936 --> 37:53.980
"He's pushed his body to the limit."

37:54.063 --> 37:56.315
"Rafa Nadal will never be the same again."

37:56.899 --> 38:00.069
Rafa Nadal, you've been
out of competition for 102 days.

38:00.152 --> 38:02.321
During all this time, over three months,

38:02.405 --> 38:05.116
have you ever thought that it was the end?

38:10.871 --> 38:13.124
Rafa Nadal's left knee recovery

38:13.207 --> 38:15.167
is not going as quickly as expected.

38:15.251 --> 38:19.297
That's why Nadal might be thinking
of not playing the full Indian Wells,

38:19.380 --> 38:21.799
where he reached the semifinals last year.

38:21.882 --> 38:25.303
The knee hurts either way,
if I'm playing and if I'm not.

38:26.095 --> 38:28.431
So I'd rather keep on playing.

38:29.765 --> 38:31.100
I went to New York…

38:31.976 --> 38:34.895
to see a specialist.

38:38.441 --> 38:39.483
I asked the doctor,

38:39.567 --> 38:42.445
"Do you think I can play at Indian Wells,
on hard court? "

38:43.612 --> 38:44.530
He said, "No."

38:45.906 --> 38:49.118
"I don't think you should play.
I don't think you can play."

38:50.453 --> 38:52.830
The doctor told us that it was really bad,

38:52.913 --> 38:55.666
that there was a risk
of irreparable damage.

38:59.462 --> 39:01.255
He told us to stop.

39:05.926 --> 39:07.636
We had a team meeting…

39:09.597 --> 39:11.640
and I decided to go to Indian Wells.

39:12.224 --> 39:14.602
I did. I said,
"I'm going to Indian Wells."

39:21.525 --> 39:24.570
I hadn't set foot
on a hard court in eight months.

39:25.821 --> 39:29.492
And I asked them to put anesthesia
in my knee so I could play.

39:30.493 --> 39:32.328
Otherwise, I couldn't move.

39:34.747 --> 39:36.207
That's the shot!

39:36.290 --> 39:38.292
I was playing well, kept playing well.

39:41.045 --> 39:42.963
And I ended up winning the tournament.

39:43.047 --> 39:47.259
A record-breaking 22nd ATP Masters 1000!

39:47.343 --> 39:51.097
And, here, a new season opens up for me.

39:52.014 --> 39:52.932
Just like that.

39:55.559 --> 39:59.814
2013 comes along and he suddenly
starts winning absolutely everything.

39:59.897 --> 40:03.109
His return to form has been fantastic.

40:03.609 --> 40:06.362
Rafael Nadal is a champion in Barcelona

40:06.445 --> 40:09.281
for an incredible eighth time.

40:10.366 --> 40:12.535
I feel awful, my knee is hurting a lot,

40:13.119 --> 40:14.829
but it's not the right time to…

40:17.248 --> 40:18.082
to stop.

40:21.460 --> 40:23.921
It's not just the pain when you play,

40:24.004 --> 40:25.506
but it's also

40:26.215 --> 40:28.384
in your daily life,
like going down the stairs.

40:32.638 --> 40:34.557
I was very worried.

40:37.143 --> 40:41.230
You see someone suffering
and you don't know how to help them.

40:42.440 --> 40:44.817
Of course, in the end,
it makes your heart sink.

40:49.071 --> 40:51.866
I'm taking a lot
of anti-inflammatories to play.

40:52.575 --> 40:54.368
Voltaren at night…

40:55.578 --> 40:59.957
and an intramuscular Voltaren injection
before every match.

41:05.379 --> 41:10.134
Seventh final
in the seventh event since his return

41:10.217 --> 41:11.635
for the great Spaniard.

41:17.433 --> 41:21.312
It became tough to deal
with the pain he suffered every day.

41:22.813 --> 41:26.025
And to see him take
so many anti-inflammatories

41:26.108 --> 41:29.945
that could be harmful to his health.

41:30.654 --> 41:31.489
Out!

41:31.572 --> 41:34.867
Nadal is the maestro in Madrid

41:34.950 --> 41:36.785
for a third time!

41:37.286 --> 41:38.996
I want to thank my whole team.

41:39.079 --> 41:40.080
Without you all,

41:40.164 --> 41:42.666
it would be impossible
to be here again today.

41:43.959 --> 41:45.753
We clashed at times

41:45.836 --> 41:49.215
because I thought he was taking too many,

41:49.798 --> 41:52.218
or that at certain times
it wasn't necessary.

41:59.058 --> 42:01.852
Maymó was against all of it.

42:02.978 --> 42:04.647
Every time I asked about medicine…

42:07.942 --> 42:09.944
I had to make my own decisions.

42:11.487 --> 42:12.905
There came a time when Rafa

42:12.988 --> 42:15.658
started carrying
his own anti-inflammatories.

42:16.158 --> 42:18.035
He got to the point of taking them…

42:18.744 --> 42:20.454
not because he was in pain,

42:20.996 --> 42:23.374
but to prevent the pain from coming again.

42:23.457 --> 42:26.252
His seventh victory here in Rome!

42:26.335 --> 42:29.505
His numbers improve
with each passing victory.

42:30.589 --> 42:32.007
I said, "Okay, whatever."

42:32.091 --> 42:35.928
"I have my medicine and I'll take it
when I think I need to take it."

42:43.185 --> 42:45.980
…Rafael Nadal!

42:47.147 --> 42:48.857
Sometimes, winning

42:50.150 --> 42:53.112
gives you a perception of reality

42:54.113 --> 42:55.573
that is not real.

42:57.741 --> 42:59.451
Because your health

43:00.160 --> 43:04.123
is much more important than any success.

43:04.873 --> 43:07.960
Rafael Nadal is your champion in Canada!

43:08.961 --> 43:13.048
Rafael Nadal wins in Cincinnati!

43:14.341 --> 43:18.929
In fact, I have two small perforations
in my intestines.

43:19.013 --> 43:22.933
Small perforations caused
by so many anti-inflammatories.

43:24.643 --> 43:26.312
Gentlemen, just a second.

43:31.025 --> 43:33.277
Do you have cramps?

43:38.198 --> 43:39.616
The US Open final.

43:39.700 --> 43:43.537
World number 1, Novak Djokovic
against number 2, Rafael Nadal.

43:43.621 --> 43:46.415
And the match that will determine

43:46.498 --> 43:49.418
the number 1 ranking for the year
is this one.

43:50.669 --> 43:54.089
In my career,
I've had to make decisions about my health

43:54.173 --> 43:57.760
where I was on the verge
of what was right or wrong.

44:03.599 --> 44:06.602
This is where I'm telling you
that it's a thin line.

44:07.603 --> 44:11.023
We are finally
at match point for the championship.

44:12.191 --> 44:14.985
But I think that, if I hadn't explored,

44:15.903 --> 44:18.989
I might have ten less Grand Slams.

44:20.991 --> 44:24.578
I'm not saying one or two,
I'm saying ten or twelve.

44:25.162 --> 44:26.830
That's the truth.

44:30.542 --> 44:35.339
Rafa Nadal has won
the US Open for a second time!

44:39.760 --> 44:41.929
Rafa Nadal is the best in the world again.

44:42.012 --> 44:44.598
He has managed to dethrone Novak Djokovic.

44:44.682 --> 44:47.393
A position he hadn't held since 2011.

44:47.476 --> 44:50.062
Rafa Nadal, number 1 in the world.

44:57.778 --> 44:59.738
He's a competitor…

45:00.781 --> 45:02.366
An addict to competition.

45:02.866 --> 45:04.118
That's not easy.

45:07.371 --> 45:12.042
Ladies and gentlemen,
your US Open champion, Rafael Nadal.

45:12.126 --> 45:14.378
That adrenaline
that you have on the court,

45:14.461 --> 45:16.547
that feeling you have
when you are competing

45:16.630 --> 45:20.467
in front of 20,000 people
in the crowd supporting you…

45:20.968 --> 45:23.762
Rafa! Rafa!

45:23.846 --> 45:25.097
It's an addiction.

45:51.206 --> 45:52.416
I can feel it a little.

45:52.499 --> 45:55.085
I can feel the whole thing
is a little more swollen.

45:55.169 --> 45:56.211
Let me see.

45:57.171 --> 45:58.213
Bend it.

45:59.465 --> 46:00.924
Over here. Move it.

46:05.679 --> 46:08.390
I think it's around here.
Up and down, around this area.

46:08.474 --> 46:10.267
Okay. And it's deep, right?

46:10.768 --> 46:14.313
I have a question.
There's nothing we can do about it, right?

46:14.396 --> 46:17.232
-Well, we have to do what we're doing.
-Okay, perfect.

46:17.816 --> 46:19.401
That pain… I'm not worried about it.

46:26.074 --> 46:28.619
I just wondered, Rafa, how hard it is

46:28.702 --> 46:31.497
kind of managing your body
in these matches,

46:31.580 --> 46:33.540
knowing that you need to think about,

46:33.624 --> 46:36.835
or making sure
that you're not hurting yourself.

46:38.420 --> 46:41.215
I have some, some issues.

46:42.049 --> 46:44.718
But that's it.
I just accept the situation.

46:46.678 --> 46:48.555
There arrives a moment today

46:48.639 --> 46:51.808
that I need to try to play at my 100%.

46:53.602 --> 46:56.605
I have Roland-Garros
in two weeks and a half.

46:56.688 --> 46:58.857
I need to push my body to the limit.

46:58.941 --> 47:01.944
And if something happens,
something happens.

47:05.531 --> 47:08.200
Second round action
continues here in Rome.

47:08.700 --> 47:10.828
It is the number 7 seed, Hubert Hurkacz,

47:10.911 --> 47:12.663
up against Rafa Nadal.

47:12.746 --> 47:15.332
-Who's your favorite?
-I think Nadal.

47:15.833 --> 47:17.960
Rafa and Stanislas Wawrinka

47:18.043 --> 47:19.628
make their way onto Rod Laver Arena.

47:19.711 --> 47:23.215
Gosh! You look at recent history,
you look at head-to-heads,

47:23.298 --> 47:25.259
it all favors the world number 1.

47:25.342 --> 47:26.552
A packed house.

47:26.635 --> 47:30.639
Eager to see how Rafa Nadal
will get on in his latest test.

47:32.391 --> 47:34.184
2014 begins.

47:34.268 --> 47:35.686
I was number 1.

47:36.228 --> 47:38.438
And I was willing to, well…

47:39.022 --> 47:41.900
go to the limit of my possibilities.

47:47.906 --> 47:49.658
Rafa in full control.

47:53.579 --> 47:54.872
Oh, what a start!

47:57.416 --> 48:00.294
He's going all out today,
from what we're seeing so far.

48:08.135 --> 48:09.636
And all of a sudden…

48:10.345 --> 48:11.346
Boom.

48:12.014 --> 48:14.808
I felt pain in my back.

48:16.018 --> 48:18.020
And I felt that I couldn't.

48:18.562 --> 48:19.396
I couldn't.

48:21.231 --> 48:22.316
I just couldn't.

48:28.822 --> 48:31.283
Oof! Risky business!

48:32.743 --> 48:36.913
His foot is bothering him.
Did you see that? Couldn't even move.

48:41.627 --> 48:43.462
He's looking up at Uncle Toni.

48:43.962 --> 48:46.423
It's not a look of
"I've got this figured out."

48:46.506 --> 48:48.634
It's a look of genuine concern.

48:55.682 --> 48:57.559
They'll put him on the ground.

49:00.270 --> 49:03.607
If it's the back,
he would have taken some painkillers.

49:04.441 --> 49:05.442
He's done.

49:07.235 --> 49:09.029
Injuries, the stress,

49:10.489 --> 49:13.492
always pushing your body
and mind to the limit…

49:15.118 --> 49:19.373
Then came the moment
when all that started to bring…

49:19.957 --> 49:21.416
consequences.

49:24.586 --> 49:26.380
Come, Rafael, come on!

49:26.463 --> 49:29.383
Come on, reset! Go!
Let's start again, go! Come on!

49:29.966 --> 49:31.051
Believe it, man!

49:33.971 --> 49:35.597
A little clumsy from Nadal.

49:39.017 --> 49:41.645
That's a couple that Nadal's missed.

49:41.728 --> 49:44.731
This is the look of a man
who might not see the finish line

49:44.815 --> 49:46.233
the way he wanted to.

49:51.405 --> 49:54.491
It is indeed victory for Hubie Hurkacz

49:54.574 --> 49:57.536
as Rafa says goodbye to Rome.

50:06.753 --> 50:09.631
Attention, players, this is a match call.

50:10.215 --> 50:13.969
Please go to the meeting point
to be escorted to your court.

50:14.469 --> 50:16.513
Don't make any decisions now, okay.

50:17.764 --> 50:18.932
Whatever you want to do,

50:19.016 --> 50:21.351
there'll be time in a few days to…

50:21.893 --> 50:23.645
to do whatever it is, okay?

50:35.031 --> 50:38.785
I've been fighting
against my body for many years.

50:41.580 --> 50:43.957
Always with the highest demand.

50:46.376 --> 50:50.839
And this is mentally draining.
It's truly exhausting.

50:52.924 --> 50:56.428
And there comes a time
when it all collapses.

51:07.105 --> 51:09.357
You guys don't know, truly, huh?

51:10.859 --> 51:13.528
Now with my… Honestly, man.

51:14.237 --> 51:16.031
I am incredibly exhausted.

51:16.615 --> 51:18.909
It's a constant, man.

51:19.576 --> 51:23.205
I'm the most punctured player
in the history of our sport.

51:27.375 --> 51:29.294
I know it's hard, but we keep going.

51:30.462 --> 51:31.671
There's no option.

51:32.672 --> 51:35.217
You can also go like this.

51:37.552 --> 51:40.013
You put a little nail up here…

51:40.096 --> 51:41.348
I don't agree.

51:42.891 --> 51:43.725
And it's over.

51:44.851 --> 51:46.186
The little nail can wait.

52:06.998 --> 52:09.042
I mean, what tennis gives me…

52:10.752 --> 52:12.963
I mean, what it gives me today,

52:13.046 --> 52:16.091
it takes away much more than it gives me.

52:17.801 --> 52:19.636
-Well, right now.
-You know?

52:19.719 --> 52:24.057
I mean, in terms of personal fulfillment,

52:24.141 --> 52:25.642
fun, suffering…

52:25.725 --> 52:30.355
Right now, it takes away
much more than it gives me.

52:32.899 --> 52:34.776
Another life is waiting for you.
e than it gives me.
