00:00:09,175 --> 00:00:10,885
[ball hitting racket]
3
00:00:21,813 --> 00:00:23,273
[distant indistinct chatter]
4
00:00:23,356 --> 00:00:26,735
[radio reporter] Today the skies
will be even clearer than in recent days.
5
00:00:26,818 --> 00:00:28,987
And temperatures will be much higher.
6
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:31,072
The winds will calm down.
7
00:00:31,156 --> 00:00:36,661
[Rafa] The first time I went to play
an official tennis tournament,
8
00:00:37,245 --> 00:00:40,498
I was, I think, 7 years old.
9
00:00:41,499 --> 00:00:43,877
I played with someone who was, like, 11.
10
00:00:46,963 --> 00:00:49,007
So, I was nervous, of course.
11
00:00:50,008 --> 00:00:52,302
But my uncle Toni was a coach
12
00:00:52,385 --> 00:00:54,637
who had a great influence on me.
13
00:00:54,721 --> 00:00:57,682
And helped me with everything.
14
00:00:59,601 --> 00:01:02,604
[Toni] Rafael was a little nervous
before taking the court.
15
00:01:03,813 --> 00:01:06,191
{\an8}So, I said to Rafael,
16
00:01:06,691 --> 00:01:10,278
"If your opponent is much better than you,
I'll make it rain."
17
00:01:10,779 --> 00:01:13,406
And he asked, "You can make it rain?"
18
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:16,493
And I said,
"Of course I can make it rain."
19
00:01:16,576 --> 00:01:18,828
[thunder rumbling]
20
00:01:18,912 --> 00:01:21,790
[Rafa] Of course,
I had great respect for him.
21
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:26,753
And I admired him so much
when I was very young, you know?
22
00:01:27,337 --> 00:01:29,089
I always trusted him.
23
00:01:29,172 --> 00:01:31,174
[applause]
24
00:01:34,219 --> 00:01:35,929
[Rafa] The match begins…
25
00:01:36,888 --> 00:01:41,518
1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 4-0 for the other guy.
26
00:01:41,601 --> 00:01:43,019
[applause]
27
00:01:44,854 --> 00:01:47,649
But then, I start to come back.
28
00:01:47,732 --> 00:01:48,817
[grunts]
29
00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:51,486
4-1, 4-2, 4-3…
30
00:01:54,405 --> 00:01:55,824
[applause and cheers]
31
00:01:58,159 --> 00:01:59,661
[thunder rumbling]
32
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:02,330
[Rafa] It starts raining.
33
00:02:05,750 --> 00:02:08,711
And I secretly go to tell Toni,
34
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:13,675
"Toni, I think you could stop the rain,
35
00:02:14,509 --> 00:02:16,386
because I think I could beat him."
36
00:02:22,475 --> 00:02:25,395
[church bell ringing]
37
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:26,521
[birds chirping]
38
00:02:29,691 --> 00:02:31,943
[commentator]
Rafa Nadal announced at 6:20 p.m.
39
00:02:32,026 --> 00:02:36,114
that he will not be playing
in the Monte-Carlo tennis tournament.
40
00:02:36,865 --> 00:02:39,659
Rafa has been dropping out
of tournaments one-by-one.
41
00:02:39,742 --> 00:02:43,705
First Doha, then Indian Wells,
now Monte-Carlo.
42
00:02:44,706 --> 00:02:48,126
And now, Roland-Garros is almost upon us,
43
00:02:48,209 --> 00:02:50,920
and we haven't seen Rafa
practically all year.
44
00:02:51,421 --> 00:02:52,505
There's no time left.
45
00:02:56,259 --> 00:02:58,261
[intriguing music playing]
46
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:00,763
[man] It hurts here?
47
00:03:01,264 --> 00:03:02,932
[Rafa] It's more like here.
48
00:03:03,516 --> 00:03:04,767
[man] Around this area?
49
00:03:05,268 --> 00:03:06,728
- It could be, right?
- Sure.
50
00:03:07,812 --> 00:03:09,689
That's where it hurts the most.
51
00:03:12,066 --> 00:03:13,860
[Gustavo] What do you think about the…?
52
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,863
{\an8}[whispers] I don't think
we'll find anything.
53
00:03:16,946 --> 00:03:19,032
{\an8}- What?
- I don't think we'll find much.
54
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:21,659
But he already thinks
that he may have a chance…
55
00:03:22,952 --> 00:03:24,871
The man is… insatiable.
56
00:03:25,538 --> 00:03:27,248
{\an8}But he's not ready to push yet.
57
00:03:27,749 --> 00:03:28,583
{\an8}Yeah.
58
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:32,253
[Costa] Will you make it to Barcelona?
59
00:03:32,837 --> 00:03:36,132
- We'll see, I don't know about Barcelona.
- He may not make it.
60
00:03:36,216 --> 00:03:37,592
{\an8}[Moyá] I don't think so.
61
00:03:37,675 --> 00:03:41,012
{\an8}But he thinks that if he's able to train
for a full week, he's ready to compete.
62
00:03:41,095 --> 00:03:41,971
I don't fully agree.
63
00:03:42,931 --> 00:03:46,226
- He's gonna get injured there.
- [Costa] Yeah, it's crazy.
64
00:03:46,809 --> 00:03:48,937
- Makes no sense.
- Yeah, very true.
65
00:03:53,608 --> 00:03:54,943
[Rafa] Rafelet, ready?
66
00:03:56,277 --> 00:03:57,487
[laughs]
67
00:04:03,201 --> 00:04:05,578
[Costa] You want him to go?
You think he should go?
68
00:04:05,662 --> 00:04:06,955
- No.
- Do you?
69
00:04:07,038 --> 00:04:08,414
I wouldn't allow it.
70
00:04:09,415 --> 00:04:11,251
- Sure you wouldn't go?
- I wouldn't go.
71
00:04:11,334 --> 00:04:13,002
- Yeah, okay.
- I told him yesterday.
72
00:04:13,962 --> 00:04:15,421
- I mean…
- I told him today.
73
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:21,010
I think he needs to do some reflecting
at home tonight and ask himself,
74
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:22,595
"What am I playing for?"
75
00:04:25,431 --> 00:04:27,392
- An Eskimo kiss?
- Papa!
76
00:04:27,475 --> 00:04:28,935
Yeah, daddy.
77
00:04:30,061 --> 00:04:31,312
[music builds]
78
00:04:34,607 --> 00:04:35,817
[reporter 1] Where's Nadal?
79
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:38,653
[reporter 2] In Barcelona.
He's already training.
80
00:04:38,736 --> 00:04:41,489
[reporter 3] Yeah, sure,
but that doesn't mean he'll compete.
81
00:04:42,865 --> 00:04:44,200
So, by Friday,
82
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:47,578
Rafa Nadal has to decide
if he'll play Barcelona or not.
83
00:04:47,662 --> 00:04:49,914
- [Rafa grunts]
- [ball hitting racket]
84
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:02,969
- I can push harder. I'm not feeling pain.
- [Maymó] Like yesterday. Easy.
85
00:05:03,052 --> 00:05:05,680
Shit, I have to do
a little more, I need to.
86
00:05:06,264 --> 00:05:07,098
I mean…
87
00:05:08,099 --> 00:05:10,852
I need to feel like, "Here I go."
88
00:05:10,935 --> 00:05:12,770
- Right.
- You know? "Go."
89
00:05:12,854 --> 00:05:14,439
[Moyá] What about 70%?
90
00:05:15,523 --> 00:05:18,359
Charlie, I don't know
if I should do it or not.
91
00:05:19,736 --> 00:05:22,488
[Moyá] Listen, we need
to keep everything under control.
92
00:05:23,906 --> 00:05:24,949
Here I go.
93
00:05:25,658 --> 00:05:27,368
[Moyá] But you have to be careful, man.
94
00:05:28,286 --> 00:05:29,620
[Rafa] Till it breaks.
95
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:34,334
[dramatic music playing]
96
00:05:38,504 --> 00:05:40,548
{\an8}[Moyá] He's very demanding with himself.
97
00:05:41,049 --> 00:05:43,968
{\an8}But if he gets injured again,
then there's nothing.
98
00:05:45,428 --> 00:05:49,682
So, these days,
part of our job is to stop him.
99
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,187
He's been pushed
for so many years to give 100%.
100
00:05:54,687 --> 00:05:56,814
And that made him who he is.
101
00:05:57,482 --> 00:05:59,484
[serene music playing]
102
00:06:04,447 --> 00:06:07,325
[Rafa] Since I was a kid,
I enjoyed challenges.
103
00:06:07,408 --> 00:06:08,868
They gave me motivation.
104
00:06:08,951 --> 00:06:11,120
I liked things that were difficult.
105
00:06:13,831 --> 00:06:17,085
But this is because
Toni taught me to be this way.
106
00:06:17,668 --> 00:06:20,254
[Toni] It's not easy, huh? One more time.
107
00:06:20,338 --> 00:06:22,173
I was a demanding coach.
108
00:06:23,758 --> 00:06:25,676
Go! Come on, hit it!
109
00:06:26,552 --> 00:06:29,514
But I was hard on Rafael
because I had great respect for him.
110
00:06:29,597 --> 00:06:31,599
Again. You need to give him hell.
111
00:06:33,184 --> 00:06:35,019
And because he was my nephew.
112
00:06:37,855 --> 00:06:39,440
[music fades]
113
00:06:39,524 --> 00:06:41,442
Oh, no. Let's go, champ! Come on.
114
00:06:42,735 --> 00:06:45,988
[Colom] When Toni and Rafael trained,
115
00:06:46,656 --> 00:06:50,076
{\an8}tensions were very high.
116
00:06:51,452 --> 00:06:53,454
[Toni] Rafael, don't hit it so low.
117
00:06:53,955 --> 00:06:56,666
"Rafa, turn around,"
"Rafa, move," "Rafa, finish the shot"…
118
00:06:56,749 --> 00:06:57,708
From ball one.
119
00:06:58,751 --> 00:07:00,545
He was constantly correcting him.
120
00:07:01,337 --> 00:07:04,424
Trying to create
the maximum amount of stress.
121
00:07:04,507 --> 00:07:05,925
Again! Come on!
122
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:09,595
I felt much less pressure
when playing against any opponent
123
00:07:09,679 --> 00:07:11,264
than when training with Toni.
124
00:07:12,723 --> 00:07:13,641
[Toni] Again!
125
00:07:13,724 --> 00:07:15,351
When I missed a ball, he'd ask,
126
00:07:16,144 --> 00:07:17,270
"Why did you miss?"
127
00:07:17,353 --> 00:07:21,858
I was scared of making another mistake.
128
00:07:23,151 --> 00:07:27,071
During the first hour of training,
no water.
129
00:07:27,655 --> 00:07:29,282
One hour without drinking.
130
00:07:29,782 --> 00:07:33,119
So, they would learn to suffer a little.
131
00:07:34,370 --> 00:07:38,082
Some coaches rebelled against me
132
00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:40,168
because they felt that was barbaric.
133
00:07:42,253 --> 00:07:44,881
I remember,
in the first round of a tournament,
134
00:07:45,506 --> 00:07:47,758
I fell and broke this finger.
135
00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:52,597
[Toni] When this happened to his finger,
I told Rafael, "Keep playing."
136
00:07:53,181 --> 00:07:54,807
"Play for as long as you can."
137
00:07:59,187 --> 00:08:04,233
I won the tournament.
But I had to wear a cast for a month.
138
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,991
{\an8}If you had asked me at that time,
"Do you agree with all this?"
139
00:08:12,074 --> 00:08:15,328
I would have said, "No, I don't like it."
140
00:08:16,412 --> 00:08:18,164
It was a philosophy.
141
00:08:18,247 --> 00:08:20,666
"Learn how to suffer through a sport."
142
00:08:21,918 --> 00:08:26,714
I always said the same thing to him,
"Rafa, you don't have to play."
143
00:08:27,298 --> 00:08:30,384
"No, I'm fine, Mom,
I really like doing this."
144
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:32,053
Last one.
145
00:08:33,137 --> 00:08:36,974
I only remember one time
I felt like I couldn't take it anymore,
146
00:08:37,058 --> 00:08:41,270
and said, "Toni, um…
I'm sorry, but I can't go on."
147
00:08:43,648 --> 00:08:44,815
I left the court.
148
00:08:45,942 --> 00:08:48,736
Mentally destroyed and crying.
149
00:08:52,156 --> 00:08:54,992
But I never went home crying.
150
00:08:55,660 --> 00:08:57,203
My father would ask, "How was practice?"
151
00:08:57,286 --> 00:08:58,788
I'd say, "Fine, good."
152
00:08:59,330 --> 00:09:00,164
"Bad."
153
00:09:01,082 --> 00:09:02,041
But that was it.
154
00:09:03,251 --> 00:09:07,463
I never would have wanted
for my dad to go up to Toni
155
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:10,091
and ask him to go easy on me.
156
00:09:10,883 --> 00:09:14,971
I would have felt
like I was letting Toni down.
157
00:09:15,471 --> 00:09:19,308
I'd be a person
who wasn't strong enough to endure.
158
00:09:20,726 --> 00:09:23,938
I always knew
that he wanted the best for me.
159
00:09:24,438 --> 00:09:26,691
He wanted to make me succeed.
160
00:09:27,191 --> 00:09:30,027
And he believed that the right way was…
161
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,114
that one.
162
00:09:33,197 --> 00:09:34,615
[inspirational music playing]
163
00:09:35,575 --> 00:09:36,909
Pushing me to the limit.
164
00:09:41,539 --> 00:09:42,707
[commentator] He's done it!
165
00:09:46,627 --> 00:09:50,089
[Toni] I am not satisfied
with him being a good player.
166
00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:56,762
[commentator] Nadal takes
his second Roland-Garros title.
167
00:09:56,846 --> 00:09:59,682
[Toni] I encourage him
to always dig for something more.
168
00:10:07,398 --> 00:10:08,899
[music fades]
169
00:10:17,116 --> 00:10:19,201
[Maymó] When I started working with them,
170
00:10:20,119 --> 00:10:22,997
Rafa had somehow internalized that
171
00:10:23,748 --> 00:10:25,499
he was not good enough.
172
00:10:27,084 --> 00:10:29,503
It is something inside of Toni,
173
00:10:31,172 --> 00:10:32,340
who truly believes
174
00:10:32,423 --> 00:10:35,968
{\an8}that if you just stay
as a great clay court champion,
175
00:10:36,052 --> 00:10:38,763
{\an8}you are somehow an incomplete champion.
176
00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:40,890
[ethereal music playing]
177
00:10:40,973 --> 00:10:43,643
[Maymó] And so,
the legend had been created
178
00:10:43,726 --> 00:10:46,771
that Wimbledon was the tournament
you had to win.
179
00:10:47,605 --> 00:10:50,941
Win that and you become
an immortal tennis legend.
180
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:53,819
[interviewer] What's the tournament
that you'd prefer to win?
181
00:10:53,903 --> 00:10:57,365
Wimbledon, but it's very tough
and you have to work hard.
182
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,203
That was the dream, that was the goal.
183
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:07,208
It had been more than 40 years
since a Spaniard had won there.
184
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:12,171
[Maymó] It seemed that Spaniards
were not capable of winning on grass.
185
00:11:13,964 --> 00:11:18,594
That's probably why it appeared
to be something magical and unattainable.
186
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:21,347
[news reporter] Heading the field,
fresh from his triumph in Paris,
187
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:25,184
the two-time French Open champion,
Rafael Nadal.
188
00:11:26,435 --> 00:11:30,564
The question is,
can the King of Clay master the grass?
189
00:11:31,565 --> 00:11:34,443
[Rafa] The previous year,
I hadn't played very well.
190
00:11:39,573 --> 00:11:41,742
[commentator 1]
Needs to learn a lot on this grass court.
191
00:11:41,826 --> 00:11:44,453
[commentator 2] He wishes
he was here with his football boots.
192
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:46,205
- [commentator 1 laughs]
- Don't laugh.
193
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:49,417
[commentator 1] What? It's funny.
He really slips all the time.
194
00:11:51,168 --> 00:11:53,963
They seemed to be two different sports.
195
00:11:55,089 --> 00:11:58,843
Clay was more of a game of strength,
grit, of fighting.
196
00:11:59,427 --> 00:12:01,929
Grass was more elegant…
197
00:12:02,805 --> 00:12:05,182
and for people who played with more…
198
00:12:05,266 --> 00:12:06,392
technique.
199
00:12:07,852 --> 00:12:10,604
[commentator]
Possibly the greatest player of all time,
200
00:12:10,688 --> 00:12:11,981
Roger Federer.
201
00:12:12,064 --> 00:12:14,066
[crowd cheering loudly]
202
00:12:14,650 --> 00:12:16,235
[Toni] I don't know of any athlete
203
00:12:16,318 --> 00:12:19,864
who has managed to play
their sport so elegantly.
204
00:12:19,947 --> 00:12:22,283
[smooth delicate music playing]
205
00:12:26,078 --> 00:12:28,914
[Toni] It seemed like
he was floating everywhere.
206
00:12:30,666 --> 00:12:33,919
You could have placed him in a ballet.
207
00:12:37,006 --> 00:12:38,674
Federer is above all.
208
00:12:39,967 --> 00:12:43,512
[commentator 1] There's such competition
in men's tennis, such strength and depth,
209
00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:47,600
and yet Federer is just
head and shoulders above the rest.
210
00:12:48,601 --> 00:12:51,937
[commentator 2]
Number one for 84 weeks straight.
211
00:12:52,021 --> 00:12:53,522
[music builds]
212
00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:56,108
[commentator 3] Federer
is the best man on the planet.
213
00:12:58,652 --> 00:13:01,489
{\an8}[Roger] I won my first Grand Slam in 2003.
214
00:13:02,072 --> 00:13:03,783
2004, I won three.
215
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:07,870
And then, 2005, I barely lost matches.
216
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:11,874
[commentator 1]
Six straight Grand Slam finals.
217
00:13:11,957 --> 00:13:15,044
Every one he has been in,
Roger Federer has won.
218
00:13:15,878 --> 00:13:18,130
[commentator 2] How much more
can this guy achieve?
219
00:13:18,214 --> 00:13:20,633
[interviewer] When you think
you can't get any better, you do.
220
00:13:20,716 --> 00:13:22,551
Well, it seems like it, yeah.
221
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:24,595
[laughter and applause]
222
00:13:24,678 --> 00:13:27,890
I guess you could say
I was in a bit of a league of my own.
223
00:13:31,143 --> 00:13:34,271
[news reporter] Roger Federer is still
on track to win the men's singles title
224
00:13:34,355 --> 00:13:36,190
for the fourth straight year.
225
00:13:36,774 --> 00:13:38,609
[moderator]
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
226
00:13:38,692 --> 00:13:40,986
It gives me great pleasure
to present Roger Federer,
227
00:13:41,070 --> 00:13:43,280
three-time Wimbledon champion,
defending champion.
228
00:13:43,364 --> 00:13:46,242
[interviewer] Do you feel like a man
on the brink of Wimbledon history?
229
00:13:46,325 --> 00:13:47,993
I feel very, actually, very good.
230
00:13:48,077 --> 00:13:50,079
I'm playing very well at the moment.
231
00:13:50,162 --> 00:13:53,165
And it's a…
just a matter of being consistent.
232
00:13:55,709 --> 00:13:58,671
So, for Rafa,
it was the ultimate challenge…
233
00:13:59,171 --> 00:14:00,548
to win Wimbledon.
234
00:14:00,631 --> 00:14:04,009
To beat Federer,
and to beat Federer at Wimbledon.
235
00:14:06,345 --> 00:14:08,347
[tense music playing]
236
00:14:12,393 --> 00:14:14,478
- [crowd cheering]
- [umpire] Game, set, match to Nadal.
237
00:14:15,062 --> 00:14:17,481
[interviewer] What would make it
a good tournament this year?
238
00:14:17,565 --> 00:14:20,359
Well, I think
if he got through three or four rounds,
239
00:14:20,442 --> 00:14:21,944
that would be good.
240
00:14:22,027 --> 00:14:24,029
[tense music continues]
241
00:14:25,114 --> 00:14:26,031
[crowd cheering]
242
00:14:27,157 --> 00:14:29,118
[interviewer] What if this
were to come to a final
243
00:14:29,201 --> 00:14:31,745
between you and Rafael Nadal?
244
00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:36,041
Obviously, if he made the final,
that would be quite a surprise to many.
245
00:14:39,295 --> 00:14:41,213
[commentator] You see
a guy learning on the spot.
246
00:14:41,297 --> 00:14:42,673
He's getting better each match.
247
00:14:50,764 --> 00:14:53,475
[commentator 1] It looks like
a Rafael Nadal-Roger Federer final
248
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:54,560
is shaping up.
249
00:14:54,643 --> 00:14:57,271
[commentator 2] No one thought
he'd be in the Wimbledon final.
250
00:14:59,523 --> 00:15:03,485
[Rafa] On grass,
I didn't feel I was at Roger's level yet.
251
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:07,197
He had many things
in which he was better than me.
252
00:15:08,657 --> 00:15:10,576
Toni kept reminding me of that.
253
00:15:10,659 --> 00:15:14,371
[Toni] Hey, did you see
how he made that last one drop?
254
00:15:15,289 --> 00:15:16,957
I'd say to him, "Rafael,
255
00:15:17,041 --> 00:15:20,461
Federer has a better forehand,
backhand, volley,
256
00:15:20,544 --> 00:15:21,962
and serves better than you."
257
00:15:23,547 --> 00:15:28,802
I said, "If you want, I can lie to you,
but Federer is not going to lie to us."
258
00:15:30,387 --> 00:15:33,432
[Maymó] Toni always
put Federer above Rafa.
259
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:38,020
And I think that, in a way,
Toni used that as motivation
260
00:15:39,772 --> 00:15:43,859
so that Rafa would keep thinking
that they hadn't reached their limit.
261
00:15:45,861 --> 00:15:47,738
[tense music builds]
262
00:15:50,324 --> 00:15:51,867
[clapping, cheering]
263
00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:56,080
[commentator 2] Roger Federer
now walks onto the court he owns.
264
00:15:56,163 --> 00:15:57,539
This grass of Center Court.
265
00:15:57,623 --> 00:16:01,585
He has been utterly dominant here
for the fourth straight year.
266
00:16:01,669 --> 00:16:03,128
Forty-seven straight wins
267
00:16:03,212 --> 00:16:06,840
on the surface that best suits
his all-court artistry.
268
00:16:06,924 --> 00:16:08,175
[tense music playing]
269
00:16:14,556 --> 00:16:15,891
[crowd cheering]
270
00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:20,604
[Roger] In that moment,
I knew he was extremely good.
271
00:16:20,688 --> 00:16:24,108
But, uh, you could still see
he was a little raw on grass.
272
00:16:27,194 --> 00:16:28,445
[crowd exclaims]
273
00:16:28,529 --> 00:16:31,615
He was maybe a bit frustrated
when there was no rhythm.
274
00:16:34,535 --> 00:16:36,537
[crowd cheering]
275
00:16:37,204 --> 00:16:38,497
His forehand wasn't as effective.
276
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:42,835
[cheers]
277
00:16:44,378 --> 00:16:46,922
[Roger] You could see
he had some figuring out to do.
278
00:16:47,881 --> 00:16:48,716
[line] Out!
279
00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:50,801
- Yes!
- [crowd cheering]
280
00:16:56,974 --> 00:17:00,019
[interviewer] …On this blazer,
the three rackets with three trophies.
281
00:17:00,102 --> 00:17:01,979
You're going to need
a bigger pocket next year.
282
00:17:02,062 --> 00:17:06,316
Yeah, well, it's gotta go,
because three seems not good enough.
283
00:17:08,527 --> 00:17:13,365
I would just like to say that, uh,
it's a great tournament for Rafael and…
284
00:17:13,449 --> 00:17:16,410
I honestly didn't think
he was going to play the finals this week,
285
00:17:16,493 --> 00:17:20,456
but it's a fantastic effort,
so congratulations for coming so far.
286
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:22,833
[cheering, whistling]
287
00:17:24,251 --> 00:17:26,879
[interviewer] Great champion.
Congratulations, Roger Federer.
288
00:17:29,298 --> 00:17:31,050
[cheering fades]
289
00:17:31,717 --> 00:17:34,386
Having someone like Roger in front of you,
290
00:17:34,470 --> 00:17:37,848
I think it makes
the path look much clearer.
291
00:17:38,974 --> 00:17:41,602
You'll have to push yourself
to the limit in everything.
292
00:17:43,479 --> 00:17:46,315
[interviewer] What can you tell Rafael,
now that the match is over?
293
00:17:46,398 --> 00:17:50,819
Well, I always say to him
that he needs to keep improving.
294
00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:53,030
[interviewer] You see him
winning Wimbledon next year?
295
00:17:53,113 --> 00:17:55,783
[Toni] No, not at all. I don't see him as…
296
00:17:56,283 --> 00:17:58,786
as champion, not at all.
297
00:17:58,869 --> 00:18:01,205
We have to train more, we have to improve.
298
00:18:03,791 --> 00:18:07,461
I told Rafael,
"You have to do something extra."
299
00:18:10,339 --> 00:18:12,508
"You have to go closer to the limit."
300
00:18:15,052 --> 00:18:16,678
"You have to suffer."
301
00:18:18,472 --> 00:18:20,474
[music fades]
302
00:18:25,896 --> 00:18:28,190
I think I hurt myself during training.
303
00:18:29,024 --> 00:18:32,778
Ugh, it's a bit of a bitch.
It's in a shitty area.
304
00:18:32,861 --> 00:18:35,864
- [Maymó] Where?
- I can't bend my damn finger.
305
00:18:36,782 --> 00:18:38,534
[Maymó] I don't think that's going away.
306
00:18:41,578 --> 00:18:42,621
A little more.
307
00:18:43,914 --> 00:18:44,957
Like this.
308
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,002
[soft expectant music playing]
309
00:18:50,379 --> 00:18:53,465
[commentator] Very important news,
extremely important.
310
00:18:53,549 --> 00:18:55,509
Rafa Nadal will be playing.
311
00:18:55,592 --> 00:18:58,595
It will be at the Godó.
It'll be at 4:00 p.m.
312
00:19:02,224 --> 00:19:03,892
[Maymó] We have a pretty big problem.
313
00:19:04,393 --> 00:19:06,603
He can't play at 80%.
314
00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:11,859
Rafa is 0 or 100.
315
00:19:14,111 --> 00:19:15,696
- That's why he's so successful.
- Yes.
316
00:19:15,779 --> 00:19:16,655
I'm sure.
317
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:19,074
- [grunts]
- [ball hitting racket]
318
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:21,201
Not just sure. Very sure.
319
00:19:30,210 --> 00:19:31,587
[Gustavo] Do you see that look?
320
00:19:33,130 --> 00:19:34,756
[Marc] He looks a bit concerned.
321
00:19:37,134 --> 00:19:38,969
[Moyá] Rafael, is it getting worse?
322
00:19:40,304 --> 00:19:44,057
I mean, now that you've warmed up,
does it feel better or not?
323
00:19:44,558 --> 00:19:45,809
I feel nothing.
324
00:19:46,393 --> 00:19:48,353
- But were you feeling it?
- When?
325
00:19:48,437 --> 00:19:49,813
In your daily life.
326
00:19:50,647 --> 00:19:52,774
You haven't felt worse,
or haven't felt anything?
327
00:19:52,858 --> 00:19:54,443
No, I haven't felt anything.
328
00:19:56,153 --> 00:19:58,155
[emotional music playing]
329
00:19:58,238 --> 00:20:00,824
[Maymó] What we all want
is to get to Roland-Garros
330
00:20:00,908 --> 00:20:02,951
in the best possible shape.
331
00:20:04,411 --> 00:20:07,497
But if he wants to keep going,
how are we going to stop him?
332
00:20:07,581 --> 00:20:09,666
[emotional music continues]
333
00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:11,960
[Maymó] I remember that,
in many training sessions,
334
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:15,422
basically all of them,
we would have problems with his foot.
335
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:19,259
Meaning, he was in pain.
We had to stop at times.
336
00:20:21,470 --> 00:20:23,972
But Rafa likes to suffer.
337
00:20:24,473 --> 00:20:28,518
Then he gets the feeling
that he has pushed himself to the limit.
338
00:20:29,895 --> 00:20:30,729
[grunts]
339
00:20:31,688 --> 00:20:32,731
It's fine.
340
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,858
I swear, it's fine.
341
00:20:35,943 --> 00:20:38,779
I haven't felt anything. For real.
342
00:20:38,862 --> 00:20:41,323
[Maymó] I think that Rafa, in some way,
343
00:20:42,241 --> 00:20:44,576
feels like he's obligated
344
00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:49,331
not to let down
the people who believe in Rafa Nadal.
345
00:20:50,999 --> 00:20:54,378
I think he's a bit
of a slave to that situation.
346
00:20:57,172 --> 00:21:00,092
But that also gives him
the strength to keep going.
347
00:21:02,719 --> 00:21:03,720
[music fades]
348
00:21:03,804 --> 00:21:05,847
[cheering]
349
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:07,724
[resolute music playing]
350
00:21:09,851 --> 00:21:12,688
[commentator]
Sixty consecutive victories on clay.
351
00:21:15,983 --> 00:21:17,985
[interviewer] A rivalry
between you and Nadal
352
00:21:18,068 --> 00:21:20,904
would be a great thing for tennis.
353
00:21:21,405 --> 00:21:23,073
- Would it not?
- I agree, yes.
354
00:21:23,156 --> 00:21:27,869
I think, uh, sports
sometimes tend to need rivalries as well.
355
00:21:27,953 --> 00:21:29,705
[resolute music continues]
356
00:21:31,373 --> 00:21:34,835
{\an8}The rivalry was such a huge thing,
it crossed over into the general culture.
357
00:21:34,918 --> 00:21:36,628
In a big way.
358
00:21:38,672 --> 00:21:41,383
[commentator] From now on,
the match everyone will be waiting for
359
00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:43,051
will be Nadal-Federer.
360
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:45,095
- They're so different.
- Oh, that's what we love.
361
00:21:45,178 --> 00:21:47,973
Look at them.
Couldn't get two more different people.
362
00:21:49,099 --> 00:21:53,186
{\an8}How does Roger look?
All dressed up, as if going to a dinner.
363
00:21:53,770 --> 00:21:56,231
[interviewer] Roger Federer,
looking as elegant as ever.
364
00:21:56,315 --> 00:21:58,692
[Ángel] Not a single wrinkle.
Everything perfect.
365
00:21:58,775 --> 00:22:00,152
And Rafa?
366
00:22:00,235 --> 00:22:01,778
He looked like Rambo.
367
00:22:01,862 --> 00:22:02,988
Long hair,
368
00:22:03,572 --> 00:22:04,656
lots of muscle,
369
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:06,658
the warrior's headband.
370
00:22:06,742 --> 00:22:08,952
One is already thinking about the battle
371
00:22:09,036 --> 00:22:12,539
and the other is keeping his image
of a gentleman, all put together.
372
00:22:13,123 --> 00:22:14,916
It was the perfect combo.
373
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,794
Federer or Nadal.
Which is your favorite player?
374
00:22:17,878 --> 00:22:19,546
Definitely Federer.
375
00:22:19,629 --> 00:22:21,465
- Rafa?
- My future hubby.
376
00:22:21,548 --> 00:22:22,799
We support Roger.
377
00:22:22,883 --> 00:22:23,884
Rafa, of course.
378
00:22:23,967 --> 00:22:25,844
Don't get into any fights
amongst yourselves.
379
00:22:25,927 --> 00:22:29,306
[McEnroe] It was quite interesting
to see how people have to be on,
380
00:22:29,389 --> 00:22:31,016
{\an8}I guess, one side or the other.
381
00:22:31,099 --> 00:22:32,309
[relaxed music playing]
382
00:22:33,727 --> 00:22:35,270
How can you not like both these guys?
383
00:22:36,146 --> 00:22:37,522
[horn sounds]
384
00:22:38,148 --> 00:22:40,442
People wanted to watch them play,
they were willing to do it
385
00:22:40,525 --> 00:22:41,610
any way they could.
386
00:22:42,736 --> 00:22:44,946
[commentator]
…On a unique and unusual court,
387
00:22:45,030 --> 00:22:46,865
purposely-built for this occasion.
388
00:22:46,948 --> 00:22:49,326
Half clay, half grass.
389
00:22:49,409 --> 00:22:52,371
The battle of surfaces.
Definitely a weird one.
390
00:22:57,542 --> 00:23:00,420
They sold 7,000 tickets
and could have sold triple that.
391
00:23:04,633 --> 00:23:06,802
[reporter] The French capital
has lived the tennis dream
392
00:23:06,885 --> 00:23:10,180
of being able to enjoy a final
between the two best rackets in the world.
393
00:23:11,431 --> 00:23:16,061
Roger Federer will try to break the curse
against his clay court executioner.
394
00:23:16,144 --> 00:23:17,979
[expectant music playing]
395
00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:21,942
[commentator 1] This is a packed house
at Court Philippe-Chatrier
396
00:23:22,025 --> 00:23:23,485
for this men's final.
397
00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:27,823
Roger Federer wanting to win
the French Open for the first time.
398
00:23:27,906 --> 00:23:31,076
[commentator 2] The weight
of expectation is obviously huge.
399
00:23:35,914 --> 00:23:39,876
[commentator 1] Federer wants to prove
he can play the Nadal game on clay.
400
00:23:41,795 --> 00:23:43,046
[commentator 2] That was in!
401
00:23:44,047 --> 00:23:46,508
[Clarey] In any other era,
Federer would have been
402
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:49,136
the best clay-courter
of that period in time.
403
00:23:49,636 --> 00:23:52,597
But he had a force of nature
that came along his path.
404
00:23:57,102 --> 00:24:01,231
Rafa was creating difficulties for him
that nobody else could create.
405
00:24:02,816 --> 00:24:04,818
In those moments, I was frustrated.
406
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:08,947
But, you know,
Rafa was just better than me on clay.
407
00:24:10,073 --> 00:24:14,494
You had to hit so many good shots
over a long period of time.
408
00:24:14,578 --> 00:24:17,664
He just made you feel
that you need to play superhuman
409
00:24:17,747 --> 00:24:19,207
on a clay court to beat him.
410
00:24:20,333 --> 00:24:21,501
[line] Out!
411
00:24:22,085 --> 00:24:24,129
[umpire in French] 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.
412
00:24:24,713 --> 00:24:28,758
[commentator 1 in English] Rafael Nadal
has three successive Roland-Garros titles.
413
00:24:28,842 --> 00:24:30,969
[commentator 2]
There's so much excitement around this.
414
00:24:31,052 --> 00:24:33,305
It's a portent of things to come.
415
00:24:34,222 --> 00:24:36,683
[fans chanting indistinctly]
416
00:24:36,766 --> 00:24:40,145
[commentator] The boy from Manacor
has made it clear that Roland-Garros
417
00:24:40,228 --> 00:24:42,147
and clay are his territory.
418
00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:44,274
[cheering, chanting continues]
419
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:46,318
[indistinct chatter]
420
00:24:46,401 --> 00:24:49,321
- Thank you for coming.
- Congrats.
421
00:24:49,821 --> 00:24:50,864
Thank you.
422
00:24:52,199 --> 00:24:54,868
- Uh…
- [man] Next year, the fourth, okay?
423
00:24:54,951 --> 00:24:55,869
We train tomorrow!
424
00:24:55,952 --> 00:24:58,497
- [man 1] Next year, you win again!
- [man 2] Come on, man.
425
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,082
[expectant music playing]
426
00:25:03,001 --> 00:25:04,377
[commentator] With hardly any rest,
427
00:25:04,461 --> 00:25:08,089
Rafa Nadal is off to England,
where his grass season begins.
428
00:25:08,965 --> 00:25:10,800
- Good morning!
- Good morning!
429
00:25:11,301 --> 00:25:12,552
Good morning.
430
00:25:12,636 --> 00:25:13,720
[Roig] To me,
431
00:25:14,221 --> 00:25:17,557
winning Roland-Garros
and then Wimbledon is very difficult.
432
00:25:18,058 --> 00:25:19,643
You win Roland-Garros,
433
00:25:20,143 --> 00:25:21,311
then catch the train,
434
00:25:21,394 --> 00:25:25,732
{\an8}go to London,
arrive at 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon,
435
00:25:25,815 --> 00:25:28,527
{\an8}and one hour later,
start training full-on.
436
00:25:29,110 --> 00:25:31,321
In the end, if you relax a little bit…
437
00:25:33,073 --> 00:25:34,032
you drop a lot.
438
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:38,745
But Toni always had the feeling
that they could push a little more.
439
00:25:39,454 --> 00:25:40,455
Always.
440
00:25:44,209 --> 00:25:47,629
And Rafa was never
going to give you a little less.
441
00:25:51,841 --> 00:25:55,929
I had to completely change
my mentality and my way of playing.
442
00:25:56,012 --> 00:25:58,974
Wait, then hit, pause, and then, "boom."
443
00:26:00,809 --> 00:26:04,646
Federer on grass,
he's gonna play faster than anyone else.
444
00:26:05,730 --> 00:26:08,358
His tactic is not to give you time.
445
00:26:10,652 --> 00:26:13,530
To be able to beat Federer
on his favorite court,
446
00:26:13,613 --> 00:26:15,448
you have to be aggressive.
447
00:26:17,450 --> 00:26:19,494
On clay, it's slower.
448
00:26:21,037 --> 00:26:22,247
You look for the winning shot
449
00:26:24,249 --> 00:26:27,002
after having played
five shots in the rally.
450
00:26:28,878 --> 00:26:30,130
[cheers]
451
00:26:31,298 --> 00:26:32,507
[Toni] But on grass,
452
00:26:33,341 --> 00:26:35,802
you have to win the point faster.
453
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:39,556
A bit more forward, Rafael.
454
00:26:40,223 --> 00:26:42,350
Because if you don't, your opponent will.
455
00:26:42,851 --> 00:26:43,893
Forward.
456
00:26:49,399 --> 00:26:52,193
[Rafa] I felt I was well prepared…
457
00:26:52,694 --> 00:26:53,737
to win.
458
00:26:56,990 --> 00:26:59,576
[interviewer] What would
winning Wimbledon mean to you?
459
00:26:59,659 --> 00:27:00,869
If I win here,
460
00:27:01,369 --> 00:27:04,956
well, it's gonna be
my best moment of my career.
461
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:10,503
[presenter] Coming further South and East,
462
00:27:10,587 --> 00:27:12,255
that's the other part
of the weather story.
463
00:27:12,339 --> 00:27:16,343
We've got some more warm sunshine here,
and across the Southeast, even warmer…
464
00:27:16,426 --> 00:27:19,220
[commentator 1]
What a gladiatorial feel there is
465
00:27:19,304 --> 00:27:21,806
to this Center Court arena.
466
00:27:22,807 --> 00:27:27,270
Nadal has been number 2 in the world
and snapping at Federer's heels.
467
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,108
And Federer, of course,
endlessly the world number 1.
468
00:27:33,068 --> 00:27:36,655
So these are the two boys
who dominate the game at the moment.
469
00:27:37,155 --> 00:27:38,239
And one feels, perhaps,
470
00:27:38,323 --> 00:27:41,201
they're the only players
who can beat each other
471
00:27:41,284 --> 00:27:42,577
in the entire draw.
472
00:27:43,620 --> 00:27:46,373
Something special on the cards,
one feels here.
473
00:27:46,456 --> 00:27:47,832
The final of Wimbledon.
474
00:27:47,916 --> 00:27:49,918
[rousing battle music playing]
475
00:27:50,752 --> 00:27:52,420
[umpire] Roger Federer to serve.
476
00:28:00,261 --> 00:28:01,554
[applause]
477
00:28:04,724 --> 00:28:09,229
Right away, you could see he was already
a much, much better grass-court player.
478
00:28:11,272 --> 00:28:14,359
I had to try to take the ball early
and dictate play that way.
479
00:28:15,652 --> 00:28:17,153
[battle music builds]
480
00:28:22,534 --> 00:28:23,952
[cheering erupts]
481
00:28:28,081 --> 00:28:31,000
[commentator] One set
to the defending champion.
482
00:28:33,461 --> 00:28:36,589
[Rafa] You admit that your opponent,
playing one-on-one,
483
00:28:36,673 --> 00:28:38,508
is better than you at tennis.
484
00:28:38,591 --> 00:28:44,764
So, I have to look for a tactic
that will help me find his weakest point,
485
00:28:44,848 --> 00:28:47,892
where I can really hurt him.
486
00:28:48,393 --> 00:28:50,061
[Toni] After a while, we realized
487
00:28:50,145 --> 00:28:53,481
that when you played
a high ball to his backhand,
488
00:28:53,565 --> 00:28:55,525
he struggled a little more.
489
00:28:55,608 --> 00:28:57,902
So, my tactic was to have him
490
00:28:58,486 --> 00:29:01,239
hit as many backhands as possible.
491
00:29:01,322 --> 00:29:03,491
[tense music playing]
492
00:29:07,787 --> 00:29:10,081
[commentator] Federer struggles
with the high backhand.
493
00:29:10,165 --> 00:29:12,417
[Rafa] High ball to his backhand,
and again.
494
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:15,545
And again, and then repeat.
495
00:29:18,214 --> 00:29:21,426
I managed
to take that tactic to the limit.
496
00:29:22,844 --> 00:29:26,806
[commentator 2] Most of the balls
going to the Federer backhand.
497
00:29:29,142 --> 00:29:30,310
[crowd cheering]
498
00:29:31,561 --> 00:29:33,229
[commentator 1] One set all.
499
00:29:36,399 --> 00:29:37,984
Which way is this gonna go?
500
00:29:45,492 --> 00:29:48,411
[commentator 2]
Federer is stepping up and going for more.
501
00:29:49,746 --> 00:29:50,997
[Rafa] Toni said to me,
502
00:29:51,748 --> 00:29:55,960
"What you can't fail at
is concentration and motivation."
503
00:29:56,461 --> 00:29:59,589
"Those things that depend
on you and your head,
504
00:29:59,672 --> 00:30:01,174
you can't fail at them."
505
00:30:01,257 --> 00:30:02,842
"They have to be…
506
00:30:02,926 --> 00:30:04,052
at 100%."
507
00:30:04,135 --> 00:30:06,137
[optimistic music playing]
508
00:30:14,395 --> 00:30:18,191
[commentator 2] You're seeing Nadal
at the top of his game on this surface.
509
00:30:18,274 --> 00:30:20,860
Nadal wins the fourth set.
510
00:30:21,611 --> 00:30:24,531
[commentator 2]
The momentum's in his favor right now.
511
00:30:24,614 --> 00:30:27,492
[Rafa] In the fifth set,
I thought I was going to win the match.
512
00:30:27,575 --> 00:30:30,370
[commentator 1]
Nadal serving 2-3, fifth set.
513
00:30:30,453 --> 00:30:33,331
But tennis is about
taking advantage of opportunities.
514
00:30:34,082 --> 00:30:36,084
Especially with Roger.
515
00:30:36,167 --> 00:30:38,670
At any moment, he can break your serve.
516
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,345
[commentator 1] Stunning!
517
00:30:47,428 --> 00:30:49,848
- A break for Federer.
- [crowd cheering]
518
00:30:50,515 --> 00:30:51,891
[Rafa] When he broke my serve…
519
00:30:52,934 --> 00:30:55,228
I think I got really disappointed and…
520
00:30:56,521 --> 00:30:59,732
I wasn't able to focus
a hundred percent on the match.
521
00:31:01,025 --> 00:31:03,152
[commentator 2]
On the ropes in the fifth set.
522
00:31:03,653 --> 00:31:05,655
[tense music playing]
523
00:31:08,491 --> 00:31:12,287
[commentator 1] The only time
we've seen Nadal look displeased.
524
00:31:12,370 --> 00:31:17,500
In the last eight minutes of the match,
I eased up a little bit.
525
00:31:19,294 --> 00:31:20,253
And that hurt me.
526
00:31:20,336 --> 00:31:22,463
[commentator 2]
He's only two points away from losing.
527
00:31:31,306 --> 00:31:35,310
[announcer] 2007 Wimbledon
gentlemen's singles champion
528
00:31:35,393 --> 00:31:36,936
is Roger Federer!
529
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:38,897
[rapturous cheering]
530
00:31:40,565 --> 00:31:42,734
[triumphant and melancholic music playing]
531
00:31:44,527 --> 00:31:46,529
[cheering continues]
532
00:32:03,922 --> 00:32:05,173
[music fades]
533
00:32:05,256 --> 00:32:07,759
[Rafa] I remember being
in the Wimbledon locker room,
534
00:32:07,842 --> 00:32:10,303
crying… alone.
535
00:32:10,386 --> 00:32:11,888
[thunder cracking]
536
00:32:11,971 --> 00:32:13,848
[poignant music playing]
537
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:19,729
I thought, "I don't know
if I'll ever be able to win at Wimbledon."
538
00:32:22,982 --> 00:32:25,735
Later, when I talked to Toni,
539
00:32:27,028 --> 00:32:31,115
he told me
that I wasn't at 100% the entire match.
540
00:32:31,824 --> 00:32:33,284
And he was right.
541
00:32:36,537 --> 00:32:38,206
[music fades]
542
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:42,961
[serene string music playing]
543
00:32:52,762 --> 00:32:55,223
[commentator] The stage is set
at the Barcelona Open
544
00:32:55,306 --> 00:32:57,058
for the Rafa Nadal comeback.
545
00:32:59,644 --> 00:33:01,104
[Rafelet babbling]
546
00:33:02,313 --> 00:33:03,940
[indistinct chatter]
547
00:33:06,275 --> 00:33:07,944
- Only one racket?
- Yeah.
548
00:33:08,444 --> 00:33:10,947
Because I saw Rafelet with another one.
549
00:33:19,205 --> 00:33:22,291
[commentator 2] Rafael Nadal's roadmap
has long since gone out the window,
550
00:33:22,375 --> 00:33:23,626
and now it's day by day…
551
00:33:23,710 --> 00:33:26,045
[commentator 3] Training is one thing,
competing is another.
552
00:33:26,129 --> 00:33:27,797
They're two very different things.
553
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,926
[commentator 4] What is clear for me
is that Rafa Nadal, at this moment,
554
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:34,554
must already be thinking, undoubtedly,
555
00:33:34,637 --> 00:33:37,390
that his career will soon end.
556
00:33:39,225 --> 00:33:41,060
[interviewer] Rafa, anyone would be scared
557
00:33:41,144 --> 00:33:42,437
after so many injuries.
558
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,064
How do you manage that worry
on a daily basis?
559
00:33:45,148 --> 00:33:46,357
[Rafa] We know the deal.
560
00:33:46,941 --> 00:33:48,860
Am I aware of it? Yes.
561
00:33:48,943 --> 00:33:51,404
Do I know it can happen? Yes. So…
562
00:33:54,866 --> 00:33:58,619
["Shallow" by Lady Gaga
and Bradley Cooper playing on stereo]
563
00:34:05,168 --> 00:34:08,504
[humming, singing along to song on stereo]
564
00:34:10,381 --> 00:34:12,216
[song continues]
565
00:34:15,428 --> 00:34:18,014
[Moyá] Take it easy.
Nothing to prove to anyone.
566
00:34:18,890 --> 00:34:21,851
Just get out there, enjoy yourself…
567
00:34:22,810 --> 00:34:25,605
Tension will be high, you just be relaxed.
568
00:34:26,189 --> 00:34:27,398
Being here is a win.
569
00:34:28,941 --> 00:34:30,985
I know it's not feasible, but…
570
00:34:31,569 --> 00:34:35,073
I go out, and in a corner of my head,
571
00:34:36,783 --> 00:34:38,910
- I win the tournament.
- I know.
572
00:34:39,410 --> 00:34:40,787
Think we don't think that?
573
00:34:41,287 --> 00:34:45,666
The only thing you need
to avoid, 100%, is hurting yourself.
574
00:34:46,292 --> 00:34:49,378
And if something happens to you…
575
00:34:49,462 --> 00:34:52,256
Shit. It'll be devastating.
576
00:34:53,716 --> 00:34:56,344
I know it's not easy,
you've never done it before.
577
00:34:57,470 --> 00:34:59,388
But it's time
to change your mindset a bit,
578
00:34:59,472 --> 00:35:01,974
'cause now, to me, there's no other way.
579
00:35:05,228 --> 00:35:06,854
[emotional piano music playing]
580
00:35:08,606 --> 00:35:12,068
[Rafa] My wife, my parents, my team,
581
00:35:12,568 --> 00:35:15,822
when they see me suffer,
they don't want me to play.
582
00:35:17,115 --> 00:35:19,951
But, to me, things are not so easy.
583
00:35:20,451 --> 00:35:22,286
[crowd cheering]
584
00:35:25,414 --> 00:35:27,959
[Toni] I never told Rafael
it would be easy.
585
00:35:28,543 --> 00:35:31,379
But, well, he got used to…
586
00:35:31,462 --> 00:35:32,880
suffering.
587
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:38,719
There's a quote by Goethe that says,
588
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:42,140
"Talent is developed in solitude,
589
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,643
character is formed
in the stream of the world."
590
00:35:45,726 --> 00:35:47,270
[thunder rumbling]
591
00:35:47,353 --> 00:35:48,813
[presenter 1] The rain is falling
592
00:35:48,896 --> 00:35:52,066
and it has been falling
for about the last hour or so.
593
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:56,571
[presenter 2] Rafael Nadal will,
for the third year in a row,
594
00:35:56,654 --> 00:36:00,074
challenge Roger Federer
for the Wimbledon title.
595
00:36:01,284 --> 00:36:03,953
{\an8}Because of the rain,
the match was pushing late.
596
00:36:04,537 --> 00:36:07,290
And even before that,
there was so much buildup
597
00:36:07,373 --> 00:36:08,833
and anticipation.
598
00:36:09,333 --> 00:36:12,211
[Wertheim] I mean,
it all added to this sort of classic,
599
00:36:12,295 --> 00:36:14,797
almost biblical quality to this match.
600
00:36:16,507 --> 00:36:19,218
{\an8}Everyone knew
this was an extraordinary sporting event.
601
00:36:19,302 --> 00:36:23,055
{\an8}This was really
a momentous occasion in the rivalry.
602
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:27,685
And the stakes were really, really high.
603
00:36:27,768 --> 00:36:29,562
[cheering, applause]
604
00:36:29,645 --> 00:36:32,398
[commentator] The hope there'll be
enough break in the rain to allow
605
00:36:32,481 --> 00:36:34,108
this men's championship to be played.
606
00:36:34,192 --> 00:36:37,236
The third straight
between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
607
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,572
[commentator 2]
This has the potential to be a classic.
608
00:36:39,655 --> 00:36:42,200
[commentator 3] He's had to suffer
at the hands of Roger Federer.
609
00:36:42,283 --> 00:36:45,161
[commentator 4] The final
that everybody's looked forward to.
610
00:36:45,244 --> 00:36:46,245
[music stops]
611
00:36:50,708 --> 00:36:53,878
[Rafa] "Last year, I failed at Wimbledon
612
00:36:54,378 --> 00:36:58,132
because I wasn't able
to perform at the highest level."
613
00:36:59,008 --> 00:37:00,134
"This year…
614
00:37:01,052 --> 00:37:02,428
I'm not going to fail."
615
00:37:02,511 --> 00:37:04,513
[suspenseful music playing]
616
00:37:06,515 --> 00:37:09,977
[commentator 1] Two sets it is
to Rafael Nadal!
617
00:37:12,188 --> 00:37:14,482
That's incredible.
618
00:37:14,565 --> 00:37:18,236
Nadal, one set away
from his first Wimbledon title.
619
00:37:20,404 --> 00:37:22,782
[Wertheim] Rafa comes out,
wins the first two sets.
620
00:37:22,865 --> 00:37:25,993
And there was this real sense
of concern about Roger Federer.
621
00:37:26,077 --> 00:37:27,536
This was supposed to be his kingdom.
622
00:37:28,913 --> 00:37:30,414
Roger looked really shaken.
623
00:37:30,915 --> 00:37:32,583
You could see it in his face.
624
00:37:34,377 --> 00:37:38,464
It was like Rafa has taken
his hope away from him here.
625
00:37:40,424 --> 00:37:43,010
The match was also tougher, to be honest.
626
00:37:43,094 --> 00:37:47,848
You could feel that he was definitely now
a next-level player on grass.
627
00:37:48,349 --> 00:37:51,394
I knew I needed a mental change,
because you don't want it to…
628
00:37:51,894 --> 00:37:55,856
To linger, you know,
and just have this very negative mindset.
629
00:37:56,983 --> 00:37:59,860
I had to truly believe
I could turn this match around.
630
00:38:03,072 --> 00:38:05,783
[Rafa] I have a big advantage,
but there's still…
631
00:38:06,284 --> 00:38:07,535
a long way to go.
632
00:38:07,618 --> 00:38:09,287
[crowd shouting] Come on, Rafa!
633
00:38:10,329 --> 00:38:14,333
[Wertheim] Between them,
you could see there was this intensity.
634
00:38:14,959 --> 00:38:19,297
And it felt like this was about way more
than the result on this particular Sunday.
635
00:38:27,513 --> 00:38:32,101
Gradually, and then suddenly,
Roger claws his way back into the match.
636
00:38:38,190 --> 00:38:40,192
[crowd cheering]
637
00:38:43,612 --> 00:38:45,656
Rafa likes rhythm. I don't need it.
638
00:38:48,242 --> 00:38:49,994
When there's no rhythm,
I'm the better player.
639
00:38:50,077 --> 00:38:51,912
And I think Rafa also knows
640
00:38:51,996 --> 00:38:55,082
that this type of tennis
can make you extremely tired.
641
00:39:00,338 --> 00:39:01,839
[inaudible]
642
00:39:09,096 --> 00:39:10,222
[umpire] Federer.
643
00:39:10,306 --> 00:39:11,932
Six games all.
644
00:39:12,016 --> 00:39:14,060
Fourth set, tie-break.
645
00:39:15,227 --> 00:39:18,773
[commentator] You didn't think that
he was gonna give this championship away
646
00:39:18,856 --> 00:39:21,317
after five years as the boss.
647
00:39:25,821 --> 00:39:27,907
I wasn't calm at any moment.
648
00:39:28,491 --> 00:39:30,826
It was probably the worst day of my life.
649
00:39:32,411 --> 00:39:35,956
In the fourth set,
we reached the tie-break.
650
00:39:36,707 --> 00:39:41,170
It was, uh,
an extremely stressful situation for me.
651
00:39:41,670 --> 00:39:44,006
Because every point counts.
652
00:39:44,090 --> 00:39:46,884
[commentator] Here we go.
Fourth set tie-break.
653
00:39:50,179 --> 00:39:51,389
[tense music playing]
654
00:39:53,516 --> 00:39:54,517
[fan] Come on!
655
00:40:00,856 --> 00:40:02,024
[cheering erupts]
656
00:40:02,108 --> 00:40:05,069
[commentator] If all seven points
in the breaker are gonna be like that,
657
00:40:05,152 --> 00:40:06,821
the crowd are gonna lose their voices.
658
00:40:08,030 --> 00:40:10,282
There were multiple moments
when they played,
659
00:40:10,366 --> 00:40:12,118
"Anything you can do, I can do better."
660
00:40:19,792 --> 00:40:21,001
[umpire] One all.
661
00:40:21,502 --> 00:40:23,921
They both deeply believed
it was their match to win.
662
00:40:24,964 --> 00:40:26,382
[umpire] Two-one.
663
00:40:26,465 --> 00:40:27,550
Three-one.
664
00:40:28,300 --> 00:40:29,718
Four-one.
665
00:40:29,802 --> 00:40:32,179
Four-two, Nadal.
666
00:40:33,889 --> 00:40:37,893
[commentator] That's wide!
And that could be the crucial blow!
667
00:40:37,977 --> 00:40:41,939
[laughs] Uncle Toni
can't even watch anymore.
668
00:40:42,022 --> 00:40:43,399
[umpire] Five-two, Nadal.
669
00:40:43,482 --> 00:40:47,778
[commentator] He's coached this young man
since he was four years old.
670
00:40:48,904 --> 00:40:52,116
[Toni] Serving, the pressure is on him.
671
00:40:53,075 --> 00:40:57,830
Because 5-2 in the tie-break
of the fourth is almost a victory.
672
00:41:00,624 --> 00:41:01,667
[line] Fault!
673
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:03,752
[Toni] Fault.
674
00:41:03,836 --> 00:41:05,629
[tense music playing]
675
00:41:05,713 --> 00:41:07,798
At that moment, I was thinking,
676
00:41:07,882 --> 00:41:09,133
"Don't do a double fault."
677
00:41:14,054 --> 00:41:14,889
[line] Fault!
678
00:41:14,972 --> 00:41:15,890
[Toni] Double fault.
679
00:41:18,184 --> 00:41:19,477
[umpire] Five-three.
680
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,479
The moment and the situation
681
00:41:21,562 --> 00:41:25,107
take their toll on me and I make mistakes.
682
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,320
[Roger] He knows that
two or three bad points on his serve
683
00:41:29,403 --> 00:41:30,529
can cost him the match.
684
00:41:30,613 --> 00:41:34,116
And I think that stress
maybe manifested itself.
685
00:41:36,494 --> 00:41:38,496
[crowd cheering]
686
00:41:47,087 --> 00:41:49,965
There were too many missed opportunities.
687
00:41:50,549 --> 00:41:53,802
Moments like these
are to Federer's advantage.
688
00:42:11,487 --> 00:42:12,905
[commentator 1] Stunning!
689
00:42:14,114 --> 00:42:15,574
[umpire] Eight-seven, Nadal.
690
00:42:19,662 --> 00:42:22,248
[Toni] I told Rafael,
"If you have a match point,
691
00:42:22,331 --> 00:42:25,209
serve to his backhand and charge the net,
692
00:42:25,709 --> 00:42:27,253
so you don't think so much."
693
00:42:37,012 --> 00:42:38,389
[cheering erupts]
694
00:42:39,974 --> 00:42:41,100
[umpire] Eight all.
695
00:42:44,895 --> 00:42:47,481
Federer didn't follow my lead,
he didn't miss.
696
00:42:48,774 --> 00:42:50,985
[commentator 2] Championship point's
gone for Nadal.
697
00:42:58,367 --> 00:43:00,286
[umpire] Game. The fourth set.
698
00:43:01,662 --> 00:43:03,038
Two sets all.
699
00:43:03,539 --> 00:43:06,166
[commentator 1]
Nadal has had his heart ripped out.
700
00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:08,711
He must feel absolutely hollow.
701
00:43:09,503 --> 00:43:12,965
[Clarey] Up two sets
and then losing the two breakers
702
00:43:13,048 --> 00:43:16,385
certainly can make him
start to question things again.
703
00:43:16,885 --> 00:43:19,972
Like in 2007,
where he wasn't able to close.
704
00:43:20,055 --> 00:43:21,181
[thunder rumbling]
705
00:43:21,265 --> 00:43:24,101
[commentator 2] The inevitable
has finally struck Center Court.
706
00:43:24,184 --> 00:43:27,438
This band of sort of dark clouds,
it finally produced some rain,
707
00:43:27,521 --> 00:43:29,064
but it has in this…
708
00:43:30,149 --> 00:43:31,609
great exercise at Wimbledon.
709
00:43:32,484 --> 00:43:35,613
[commentator 1]
Back into the locker room once again.
710
00:43:38,949 --> 00:43:40,743
[Toni] When I got to the locker room…
711
00:43:42,745 --> 00:43:45,623
I thought, "Okay, Rafael will be…
712
00:43:46,665 --> 00:43:50,753
he will be very upset, right?
After having lost so many opportunities."
713
00:43:50,836 --> 00:43:52,504
[soft stoic music playing]
714
00:43:52,588 --> 00:43:53,797
[thunder cracking]
715
00:43:53,881 --> 00:43:56,759
[Toni] And I thought,
"What can I say to cheer him up?"
716
00:43:57,426 --> 00:43:58,469
And…
717
00:43:59,053 --> 00:44:00,888
I didn't have many ideas.
718
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,064
And then, Rafael,
who was tying his shoes, said to me,
719
00:44:12,232 --> 00:44:14,234
"I think you can stop the rain."
720
00:44:14,818 --> 00:44:16,445
"I'm not going to lose."
721
00:44:17,571 --> 00:44:18,947
"I'm not going to lose."
722
00:44:21,784 --> 00:44:25,204
"He may beat me,
but I'm not going to lose. I'm not."
723
00:44:25,287 --> 00:44:28,791
"Mentally, I'm going to be 100%
724
00:44:29,291 --> 00:44:30,209
in every point."
725
00:44:30,959 --> 00:44:32,586
"I can't allow myself
726
00:44:33,712 --> 00:44:35,923
a single moment of weakness."
727
00:44:37,758 --> 00:44:41,428
I was willing to suffer more than him.
728
00:44:46,058 --> 00:44:47,935
[commentator 2]
A brief rain shower has passed.
729
00:44:48,018 --> 00:44:50,896
We've got one more segment
730
00:44:50,979 --> 00:44:54,900
to see if there will be
a Wimbledon champion declared tonight.
731
00:44:54,983 --> 00:44:56,985
[applause]
732
00:44:57,778 --> 00:45:01,573
[Toni] And when I saw him
go back out on the court again,
733
00:45:04,159 --> 00:45:05,536
I knew he would win.
734
00:45:06,036 --> 00:45:08,038
[music builds]
735
00:45:08,831 --> 00:45:13,627
[commentator 2] Six and a half hours
of the entire exercise today.
736
00:45:14,128 --> 00:45:16,422
[Clarey] By that time, it was really dark.
737
00:45:17,005 --> 00:45:19,466
And my screen on my laptop
was just glowing.
738
00:45:23,387 --> 00:45:25,139
They should not have been playing tennis.
739
00:45:27,182 --> 00:45:28,600
But it was tremendous.
740
00:45:28,684 --> 00:45:29,935
[music builds]
741
00:45:41,488 --> 00:45:42,906
[cheering]
742
00:45:42,990 --> 00:45:44,491
Come on!
743
00:45:44,575 --> 00:45:47,035
[inaudible]
744
00:45:49,580 --> 00:45:50,914
[cheering continues]
745
00:45:50,998 --> 00:45:53,417
[Rafa] It was a tough match.
746
00:45:56,128 --> 00:45:58,005
And you couldn't see much.
747
00:45:59,339 --> 00:46:01,133
And I was at my limit.
748
00:46:01,884 --> 00:46:05,679
Just focused on trying
to keep giving myself opportunities.
749
00:46:11,602 --> 00:46:14,480
[Toni] There's always
the temptation to give up.
750
00:46:15,564 --> 00:46:19,026
But when you get used
to enduring a little more…
751
00:46:19,109 --> 00:46:20,152
"That one more ball."
752
00:46:21,904 --> 00:46:23,655
That's what great champions do…
753
00:46:24,656 --> 00:46:26,825
endure one more ball.
754
00:46:29,912 --> 00:46:32,247
[commentator 2]
A phenomenal get by Nadal here.
755
00:46:32,748 --> 00:46:35,167
Now he's got the championship point.
756
00:46:37,252 --> 00:46:40,339
[Rafa] I think Roger,
at that moment, was at his limit.
757
00:46:42,174 --> 00:46:44,927
"He's waiting for me
to serve to his backhand."
758
00:46:45,594 --> 00:46:47,221
"Maybe I could surprise him."
759
00:46:48,972 --> 00:46:50,933
There are no easy balls.
760
00:46:53,018 --> 00:46:56,146
I had given him a ball
where he had time to think.
761
00:46:57,773 --> 00:47:00,484
Sometimes it's easier
to hit without thinking.
762
00:47:01,068 --> 00:47:03,070
[optimistic music playing]
763
00:47:18,627 --> 00:47:19,962
[thunder rumbling]
764
00:47:20,045 --> 00:47:22,881
[Rafa] There's not only
one path to success.
765
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:29,680
It's probably not necessary
to suffer the stress that I have suffered
766
00:47:29,763 --> 00:47:32,182
to become what I have become.
767
00:47:34,852 --> 00:47:38,605
But I followed the path
that Toni set for me.
768
00:47:40,315 --> 00:47:43,151
And I think it was the right path.
769
00:47:44,319 --> 00:47:46,029
[triumphant music playing]
770
00:47:47,948 --> 00:47:50,200
[cheering continues]
771
00:47:59,126 --> 00:48:00,961
[umpire] Game, set, match, Nadal!
772
00:48:10,470 --> 00:48:12,806
[Rafa] People thought that I was a winner.
773
00:48:13,807 --> 00:48:15,309
I'm not a winner.
774
00:48:16,435 --> 00:48:17,936
I'm a competitor.
775
00:48:20,606 --> 00:48:21,648
Victory…
776
00:48:23,358 --> 00:48:25,068
lasts but a while.
777
00:48:26,236 --> 00:48:27,237
It's momentary.
778
00:48:27,321 --> 00:48:28,906
WIMBLEDON CHAMPION
CONGRATULATIONS, RAFA!
779
00:48:30,365 --> 00:48:32,409
[Rafa] What has always motivated me
780
00:48:32,492 --> 00:48:35,120
is the desire to keep fighting.
781
00:48:37,456 --> 00:48:38,665
'Cause the way I see it,
782
00:48:38,749 --> 00:48:41,001
satisfaction comes
from what's challenging.
783
00:48:44,630 --> 00:48:46,632
[battle music playing]
784
00:49:03,190 --> 00:49:05,192
[music turns serene]
785
00:51:44,810 --> 00:51:46,603
[music fades]
