M in my name stands for mercy :- Rafael Nadal

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Being one of the most humble & funny people in person and sometimes a little shy, Rafael Nadal is an absolute merciless warrior when on court and never in a mood for charity.
Enjoy some of the stunning highlights I found while scrolling on YouTube.
Thank you for your attention and support, ladies and gentlemen.

[BackhandDTL]

Djokovic, Nadal, Borg, Sampras.

 

[MeatTornado]

I wasn't aware there was an "M" in Rafael Nadal.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

I wasn't aware there was an "M" in Rafael Nadal.

That was afterall, the point, sir.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Djokovic, Nadal, Borg, Sampras.

Djokovic shouldn't be at the first place, sir.
There have been way too many examples when he has given up.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

He strikes the ball so heavily and consistently off both wings

 

[MeatTornado]

That was afterall, the point, sir.

Just realized the title says mercy and not merciless like your OP.

 

[Federev]

Maybe Rafa
Love and respect the Bull
For real...

But since I can’t see into a man’s soul...
And since noises and faces only tell us so much...
I’d have to consider things like longevity...
And a refusal to give up...
And a tenacity to keep trying against the fiercest rivals...
Especially when everyone’s counted you dead and gone...

And I’d want to consider an objective stat like the number of times a player has retired during a match...

But it would have to be something phenomenal over a very long career at the top...

HHMMMMMMM....

That Nadal/Delpo match is crazy.

 

[adil1972]

wow nadal wow

Nadal's dominance on clay is also highlighted by 60 of his 86 ATP singles titles coming on this surface, including 25 of his 35 ATP Masters 1000 titles, and his 81 consecutive wins on clay is the longest single-surface win streak in the Open Era.

sir, good thread, sir.

 

[zuluzazu]

sir, good thread, sir.

IN TTW you can know that a thread is good by looking at the number of posts in that thread. If it does not reach even the second page, you can know it was good thread. Proof is that @Waspsting has one of the best threads and anyone of them hardly goes to the second page. TTW does not like "the good threads".

 

[Gazelle]

I could imagine Rafa as a Spanish inquisitor in a former life.

Don Rafaole, High Inquisitor, adjuster of bullsacks, holder of the Golden Rod of Punishment.

That Nadal/Delpo match is crazy.

It indeed is. That match had me on the ropes throughout.

I don't want to sound disrespectful towards other Greats of the era, but nadal on clay has produced the highest level of tennis in the last 15 years or so. Especially the 2005-08 period was godalike from the warrior.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

sir, good thread, sir.

Thank you for your appreciation, sir (even though it wad in a slightly sarcastic manner).

That is so Hillarious.

 

[Jonesy]

No bercy?

In no order. If we are looking at peak toughness I’d go:

Nadal, Sampras, Borg, Djokovic

 

[BackhandDTL]

Ohhh.

This is brilliant,

well done mate

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

In no order. If we are looking at peak toughness I’d go:

Nadal, Sampras, Borg, Djokovic

I agree with your list, sir.
Btw, may I ask which player is your fav??

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Ohhh.

This is brilliant,

well done mate

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

No bercy?

Sorry?? I didn't get it.
What does Bercy have to do with this, sir/ma'am??

 

[Sudacafan]

I think that I am spending more time in GPPD than I should.

 

[BackhandDTL]

I agree with your list, sir.

Nadal and Kuerten

 

[Rosstour]

Nadal, Sampras, Borg, Djokovic

If Sampras is so good, and Federer so overrated, why did Sampras lose their only meeting when he was all of 29 years old?

 

[BackhandDTL]

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, we’re talking about mental strength

why did fedr lose to Tsonga at W 2011. It doesn’t mean much

 

[King No1e]

The W in Nadal stands for WTF Title

 

[Rosstour]

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, we’re talking about mental strength

why did fedr lose to Tsonga at W 2011. It doesn’t mean much

If Pete and Roger were the players you say they are, Pete should have crushed Fed like an ant.

 

[BackhandDTL]

Yep cause players can’t ever lose matches mate

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

I think that I am spending more time in GPPD than I should.

Why is that the case sir??

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Come on, roger is not overrated. Please don't think so, sir. At the moment, he is the greatest tennis player.

 

[King No1e]

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, we’re talking about mental strength

Because Tsonga is a BEAST!

 

[Rosstour]

Yep cause players can’t ever lose matches mate

the mentally toughest player ever should not have lost to a mental midget who was still a teenager.

 

[Rosstour]

Come on, roger is not overrated. Please don't think so, sir. At the moment, he is the greatest tennis player.

I don't think Fed is overrated. But BackhandDTL does. I'm using his own argument against him.

 

[metsman]

First win of the streak over the Guru. Absolutely shocking, once again showing the Guru's teachings can last years into the future.

 

[Sudacafan]

Why is that the case sir??

GOATists have no mercy.

 

[Silverbullet96]

Mrafael Nadal. Silent M.

You can tell he's never fought in his life, he's punching in 2 completely different directions.....and he's not even looking at his 'target' either.
