Crazy Rafa Nadal Comeback vs Korda In Indian Wells! 😳

Olly Paton:

Rafa in 2022 is personifying who he is and what he represents. As he said after the match: “In these situations, you'll lose 90% of the time. But if you don't try, you'll lose 100% of the time." 💥🇪🇸🔥

fans2497:

Wasn't sure if Rafa could comeback after being down 2 breaks in the third. Sorry for doubting you Rafa! He sure proved me wrong lol. Vamos!

James Jin:

It's almost if Nadal knew the closer Korda gets to victory, the further away Korda is from victory. Nerves are real, and Nadal knows that.

Ashley:

This match was insane! But I’ve learned to never count Rafa out even though the man gives me a heart attack every now and again. Congratulations Rafa! On to R3️⃣ at at Indian Wells! 🇪🇸🎾🏆🌴☀️🌵

Adhi Narayanan Y R:

History repeats! How many times has Rafa done this.. Can’t believe he is still capable of an epic comeback in 2022.

Jonathan Kwan:

We all know that Rafa's 13 FOs(and counting) will go down as the most unbreakable achievement in history of tennis, but his often overlooked record of 858 consecutive weeks(and counting) stay in the top 10 rankings is equally if not more astounding, I mean, that's 16 and a half years staying inside the top 10! 😳 A goat-like stat if you ask me. I'm hoping for the day to see him reach 1000 weeks and beyond! Vamos Rafa!

Minister Avilez:

If this match and the AO final hasn’t cemented Nadal as the greatest fighter in tennis I don’t know what will, and that’s just for the 2022 season. All eyes on RG ‘22. ¡Vamos Rafa!

J. S.P:

Who would've thought that Rafa is doing the best possible start of his career in 2022. What a beast 👏

Jacob Kurian:

Players like Korda will have to take a few tough losses like these on the chin as they develop. Even Rafa had some tough defeats early in his career. In terms of ability, Korda has lots. His racquet skills are as good as any American player since Andy Roddick. He will learn from this but in the present, Nadal still rules.

hr. Doctor Løve:

My respect to Nadal for never smashing a racquet

꧁༒ƛƘƲ - ŰMƛ༒꧂:

No puedo creer todo lo que está haciendo Nadal este año, el mejor jugador de la historia!

UnderratedBlastoise:

Incredible tennis from Rafa in 2022. To me he is the greatest because of everything he had to overcome.

Danyelle Gregory:

If it’s one thing I learned from this match, is to NEVER lose site of of what you want. Even when you are down! That is Nadal’s spirit personified! What a fighter! What a champion! What a legend! Vamos Rafa!!! 🐐

Song Se-Ra:

My heart is always in trouble whenever Rafa is playing😬💪

Bee da trot TV 👊:

Seriously??? Ive actually stopped from watching it on the third set. RAFA will always find ways to shock everybody! Simply amazing! #SpaniardLegend

Christopher Harijanto:

That feels crazy... Without a doubt if Rafa was out after coming behind from 2-5 in the decider but he's truly great fighter anyway by beating young American Sebastian Korda in a tiebreak. VAMOS Rafa 🇪🇸💪

Smartkid2387:

The dominant comeback kid. Rafa has been so successful this season with three titles, one being a grand slam, he easily could’ve said today is not my day and lost his intensity but nope. He fought like he always does and walked away with the W. It’s great seeing him find ways to win matches.

Stueww:

Nadal is the true GOAT! The gladiator who never give up! The ultimate competitor you want to pick to play for you if your life was on the line! Nadal the greatest player of all time!

TheBigSquirrel 50:

I love Korda's plans to come in, but my goodness, Rafa is *RELENTLESS* with those passing shots.

Alexandra Miller:

Son unos Xxlike.Uno de los mejores conciertos 💋 Son unos de los mejores conciertos , no puede ir pero de tan solo verlos desde pantalla, se que estuvo sorprendente❤️💯
los mortales abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer.

CHIN0094:

Easier to watch the final score line than to watch Nadal play. My heart can’t take it no more…

The Explorer:

This is just unreal, i can’t believe my very eyes, Nadal is just unstoppable, he comes back in this match from an impossible position double break down with Korda in great touch. #VamosRafa

Leo:

What a 2022 for Rafa. We are so lucky to see this performance from him again!

General Shockwave Kingpin:

The legendary, relentless, fighting spirit of the great Nadal, on display here. It does not matter if Nadal wins or loses, he is going to give it his all.

J J:

Nadal has started putting gears in crucial moment just like Djokovic. Terrific comeback though felt bad for KORDA after playing such a terrific match

Terence Wong:

Bravo Nadal. Such a fighter as always. I’m not his big fan but it’s hard not to admire his never die spirit.

Mary Katherene Shuskey:

The never-give-up mentality of Rafa☺️

But what do we expect really when Rafa is playing? Oh goodness all these roller coaster rides of emotions hahaha

Hélida Costa:

Never count Rafa out until the umpire says "game, set and match". A true fighter. This must've been a very painful loss for Sebastian but he's doing amazing. Congrats to both players.

Chris:

The improvement of Nadal over the years, before he couldn't hit a backhand down the line, that shot got him him back in the set. You could pretty much knew his backhand was coming cross court if you came to net, because he didn't seem comfortable with hitting it down the line . Net game, serve, and backhand improved ridiculously over the years.

Sand Fox:

These commentators are unbelievably awesome and need to be on many more televised matches!
I'm American and I love korda but Nadal is my favorite of all time!

Reynaldo Castaneda:

After all is said and done, his humility is what defines this great champion. We are blessed to have witness his greatness. Same as Messi!

HUNTER RELOADED:

Rafa es el mejor tenista de forma integral, sobrio, serio, luchador, talentoso y una mentalidad increíble... El mejor lejos💪🏼📈✅🏆

Malik:

Rafa is a champion. The GOAT

NotSoHandyTim:

His shot selections in any situation are just outstanding.

charlie chuck:

Nadal is a monster. Even so tired he can win the match.

Steve M:

Korda was going big on those ground strokes. That works in beating Nadal, just ask Soderling, but you've gotta hit a high percentage of those shots and that's very, very difficult to do. He came close though

Genaro Espina:

I stopped watching when I saw Rafa was in bad shape and sure to lose. Then saw a miracle when I came back to check the final score. Unbelievable, but with Rafa miracles do happen.

prashant vijaykumar nair:

During my life my favourites changed from time to time... sometimes it's Federer sometimes it's Novak sometimes it's Nadal... But the inspiration I am feeling from Nadal since AO2022 is unmatched and I pure heartedly pray that he wins all the matches that he plays.

Lil Nicky Da Baddest:

Wasn’t surprised Korda couldn’t serve it out he’s been struggling to serve out matches in general yet alone against his hero tough loss for him once he increases his mental strength he could put American tennis back on the map. As for Rafa great comeback yet again never counted him out.

ShockWave ZERO:

When I saw the score where Korda was leading, I was wondering if and hoping for a comeback. And he did.

That's Rafa for ya. Giving some fans frequent heart attacks. Lol. I can't imagine it be healthy to keep watching his matches if he keeps giving heart attacks. Lol

JUANITA QUINTANA:

Rafa is an excellent tennis player with tennis skills and beauty of the heart. His love for his family is very obvious which is not evident to other players. His heart is full of love for others ex. His foundation for the needy and caring for disabled people, helping on hands during flood calamity to clean….I don’s see great people doing that…Rafa, beauty from the inside out combined with intelligence and cleverness bec. he is using both left and right hands skills which means the right and left lobe of the brain that’s why when he talks with the media it’s not just abt tennis, he has wisdom and character.

AHA:

Just one more victory to reach the 400. Nobody has 400 wins in Masters 1000. Rafa has 399.

James J:

And I thought Rafa was already mentally out after he was broken for 5-2 after double faulting twice in the game. Nobody does it quite like him! Vamooosss

Emman Labudiong:

Simply put, that's what GREAT CHAMPIONS DO!

Andrei M.:

This match reminded me a lot of the match against Zverev here in 2016. Korda outplayed Rafa in the second and most of the 3rd set, just like Zverev did so in the 1 and 3rd set of the 2016 match. Both had the matches on their racket, both served for the match, both had match points and both times Rafa came back mentally strong and capitalized on the opponent's lack of experience at this level. Rafa's outstanding season continues. 16-0 and counting!

Markus E:

Korda having been Rafaels first draw...I hope this was Rafaels toughest match this tournament.
Unfortunately for Korda he had to play Rafael early on.

Vikas Kumar:

Watched him live in US open in 2017. It's been five years but damn he is playing at same energy and have added more defense to his game. He frustrates the opponent with almost flawless defense

Ali Rizaa:

Yet another testament to Nadal being the GOAT..Vamos Rafa..❤️

Nero RoseUmu:

This is Nadal's style.....

Never Give Up....Never Say Die Attitude... 👍 🎾 👏 👏 🇪🇸

He's known for it, Phenomenonal...

One of the Greatest Fighters of all time...

His defence is insane 🤪...

Stu Marston:

I'm a Canuck. And I am an old Canuck. So I've seen a lot of athletes in my day. And Nadal ranks right up there with the greatest battlers of all time....The man is a beast.

Felipe Arthur Dias:

Um monstro como quase sempre

Pipefinder General:

if I ever have to choose a champion for trial by combat, it would be Nadal

I'm Always Right:

Rafa after that match: “Korda shoulda won that”

Shawn Valerio:

Great fighting spirit from the GOAT… but have to say Korda lost it, making simple errors at key moments. That is what Nadal do, forces his opponent to try and hit the perfect shot to get a winner.

BrotherTree1:

Bad day at the office and salvaged it from the dead. Unbelievable. This is what Rafa is all about!

Daniel:

It's impossible that exist people thinking that he isn't the GOAT. 🐐 IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING TO NADAL

Laura Stone:

ANOTHER epic Nadal WIN! The SUPER WARRIOR of tennis!

stanley 7:

Some players find it hard to close out matches they have almost won, well done to Rafa for the comeback.

Wahn Yoon:

At 2-5 I yelled at the TV screen, "Come on Rafa, you can come back from this!!" And so he did. Incredible mind, amazing athlete.

Tom:

Absolutely amazing comeback. Korda won't forget this lesson anytime soon. It is tough breaking in these days. When Nadal started it wasn't unusual for a player to win a slam before 20 and lots of supposed greats retired before 30. Taylor Fritz winning the final is a great example. He wasn't even ranked in the top 10 and is 25 years old. The Big 3 are amazing but there are few tennis players of their calibre that honed their crafts into their mid-thirties. John Isner is older than Djokovic and Nadal but is still performing well and is ranked in the top 30. It is a long tough slog to the top these days. Consider that Nadal was almost knocked out in the first round of Indian Wells by an unseeded player. Korda has had to struggle in the rankings against players carrying ranking points from 2019, a time when he wasn't even 19 to get a decent draw and it is hard to hone your craft when making it 3 rounds in a draw of 32 is a major accomplishment. The Big 3 had few serious challengers until the semi-finals for large parts of their career while Zverev and Thiem have to compete against the big 3, and another 20 players that are capable on any given day of upsetting Djokovic or Nadal and don't have a decade of winning slams to give them the supreme confidence the Big 3 bring with them to every match. If Sampras hadn't retired at 30 he might not have won many more slams but he probably would have caused plenty of upsets before the round of 16 and tired out the Big 3 before the semifinals. Nadal had a great season last year before wearing himself out during the clay season but the Big 3 are on borrowed time and it will be interesting to see if Nadal can repeat his French Open magic in a draw that includes Djokovic and whether they will have the energy to compete in the finals if they meet each other in the semi-finals. It really wouldn't surprise me to see Korda take a deep run and while he will never match the Big 3's records, I expect he will have a better winning record in future seasons than all of the Big 4 and I don't expect he will leave the door open the next time he is up two breaks in the deciding set of a match against them.

SJ:

When he hit those back to back passing shots at 4-5 I knew it was over

Yo_Eddie:

Although Federer is my favourite player, Rafa is the GOAT. These two uphold the spirit of tennis more than anyone else.

Abhi Pokhrel:

i watched the whole thing ... i have no idea how rafa won that. Korda was dominating nadal with serves and deep flat shots. Nadal had no answer.

Akhil Puri:

So much to learn from Rafa ! What an incredible human being .. if there is one sportsman I’ll wager my life on .. it would be Rafa ! Vamos !!!

oldfrend:

korda has the talent to be a top 10 player if he could cut out the unforced errors. anyone that can take a 6-1 set off nadal has some real talent. just a matter of consistency.

Andy Roo:

Is there any Rafa fan out there who is NOT surprised by this comeback!?! This is Nadal, tried and true! He is FREAKIN' AMAZING! Nadal Is The King! I cannot wait for Nadal to meet up with Novak at FO22. There will be a reckoning.

Choo Choo MotherTrucker:

That's the GOAT mentality. Play each point, not the game, the set, or the match.

Roshan Gurung:

i.cant deny that he is the goat
when he can do this at this age..

Sam Amrani:

It proves once again that even in these twilight years, these titans are simply too good.

HelloSam Innovation:

Grande Rafa, el histórico remontador de partidos en modo épico.

residentevil9922:

Korda, if you read this comment, know that you are one of the best players on the tour..and in my opinion, you can reach the top 5. You played a magnificent match against one of the best warriors in the history of sports. Don't be disappointed..don't let this loss affect you. You are a real champion and you surely won the hearts of thousands of spectators watching.

isdaforever:

Monstrous mental of RAFA Vamos!

Dynamic Aero:

I am reminded of the Rafa Nadal comeback in Indian Wells against Zverev in... 2016 was it? This has a lot of the same flavors as that match back then. Tall, young player with power and potential goes up 5-2 in the deciding set against Nadal only to lose at the last minute despite having multiple chances. One can only hope that Korda doesn't follow the same path of poor clutch performances as Zverev; God knows that I didn't think Zverev would have this reputation 6 years later.

Stueww:

In this specific situation Djokovic would have lose, onlu the true GOAT can comeback like that. GOATdal!

Helen Ivanic:

It ain’t over until Nadal says it over.

ManBearPig:

Insane amount of chokes from Korda, Nadal didn't even play that well.

Julia Alves:

Enorme Enorme Enorme grande reviravolta do monstro VAMOSSSSS que VAMOSSSSS ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Mathis Carrier-Lévesque:

I did not expect anything less from rafa, my favorite of the big three

Smokey the Cat:

Rafa just never ceases to amaze me! Incredible! Vamos Rafa !!!!!!!!

Samuel Harris:

Rafa's so legendary, you could play him in your own country and the majority will still be cheering for him.

Nothing :v:

Rafa - a man who believes that there are always chances. Such an inspiration.

shore348450:

Rafa is just extraordinary. Lessons for life here, not just tennis. Never, ever, give up.

mohlodi tshimollo:

Sometimes you can help it but wonder if Rafa Nadal is intentionally getting himself in these situations knowing fully that he is going to dig himself out 🤔 What a comeback!

C E:

Rafa has to be doing this on purpose bc there's no way. He just likes to give us high BP during his matches. What a comeback. What a champion..

slc2466:

Rafa refuses to lose yet again in 2022- vamos!

Isabel F:

Genial, Rafa Nadal!! Impresionante!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

Sid Sinha:

Nadal is my favorite, but as an american we have not had many greats in last 15+ years. Korda is very promising and if he works on his game, he has the potential to be in the top 10 soon. Last time an american was at #1 was Andy Roddick (2004).

Walkman007:

I saw it live, unbeliebable :p
Vamos Rafa!

Yuttasak Arakkitsakul:

I can't stand seeing my favourite player losing in this match. I close my TV at the score 2-5 of the third set and think that it's good for him to have a time to break before clay season. I don't want to see Indian Well 2022 anymore. I am surprised after I know the result. You are superman, Nadal.

Gungesh Boopatthi:

Wow nadal is in sublime form. I hope he continues this form throughout the year💪💪💪

Sup:

Great to see on both sides, Rafa's mentality as strong as ever, and the first American player of the last 2 generations who could actually be a Slam contender.

Dom268:

Fantastic defense, as always, from Rafa showing his true grit. I'd also peg this down as a choke from Korda for missing way too many opportunities with unforced errors.

Debojyoti Roy:

What a Player...
What a Fighter...
Vamos Rafa

Jon Friedman:

Especially in the 3rd set, Korda hit WAY too many shots right back to Nadal. When you have time, you have to place shots better than that... in or out, at least the point is on your racquet and not on your opponent's... You can't just volley back and forth with Nadal. He is WAY too talented for that...

Back to the 90's:

Nadal THE GOAT : He played very bad...and he won...really amazing the third set!

Fabian E:

Rafa is just a Beast. Korda played really well, but it takes some serious skills to beat this man this year.
And the Clay Season has not even started 😁

DaPohli:

Korda is a class act though. Imagine Zverev or Shapovalov after losing this.

ariel escamillas:

Nadal is the living legend of never give up till its over time and time again.What a fighting spirit of a player that goes beyond the limits

cck:

I know everyone's praising Nadal but I think what Korda pulled off here is pretty insane too given this is Nadal who just won the AO. If Korda had a little more experience with high pressure games and his mental management, he'd have had a good chance at closing the game.
