[María laughing]
4
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:24,607
[María] Oh…
5
00:00:24,691 --> 00:00:26,401
- It's over.
- [Rafelet] Papa!
6
00:00:26,484 --> 00:00:28,778
[Benito] Say, "Dad,
I think Mom's leaving."
7
00:00:29,612 --> 00:00:30,572
Come here, come on.
8
00:00:30,655 --> 00:00:32,198
- Papa.
- [Benito] Go to Dad, go.
9
00:00:32,282 --> 00:00:33,324
Papa!
10
00:00:33,408 --> 00:00:34,659
Aye! Aye! Aye!
11
00:00:34,743 --> 00:00:36,745
[peaceful music playing]
12
00:00:39,414 --> 00:00:41,916
- [Rafa] Bye, Rafelet! Bye-bye.
- [Benito] Say, "You got this."
13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,252
- [Mwah]
- [María] Yay!
14
00:00:48,631 --> 00:00:51,676
[commentator] Everything's been sold out
for days, almost a week.
15
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,388
That's because no one wants to miss
not just a Rafa Nadal match,
16
00:00:55,472 --> 00:00:57,557
but seeing Rafa Nadal in person.
17
00:00:58,058 --> 00:00:59,851
[Marc] Lots of people today.
18
00:01:00,769 --> 00:01:04,230
[fans shouting] Rafa! Rafa!
19
00:01:04,314 --> 00:01:06,441
[interviewer] What'd you like
to see happen in Madrid
20
00:01:06,524 --> 00:01:09,527
in your comeback process
and preparation for Roland-Garros?
21
00:01:10,779 --> 00:01:13,114
[Rafa] For me, Roland-Garros is
22
00:01:13,198 --> 00:01:16,326
the most important tournament
of my tennis career.
23
00:01:16,409 --> 00:01:20,497
So, the next couple of weeks
are so important to…
24
00:01:20,997 --> 00:01:24,417
to see if that's
a real possibility or not.
25
00:01:27,337 --> 00:01:29,380
[indistinct chatter]
26
00:01:29,464 --> 00:01:31,216
- [Moyá] Stay positive.
- Yeah.
27
00:01:31,299 --> 00:01:34,135
It's impossible to go from 0
just sitting to suddenly 100.
28
00:01:34,969 --> 00:01:37,388
But you're getting there. It's possible.
29
00:01:38,264 --> 00:01:39,974
[music fades]
30
00:01:41,184 --> 00:01:43,603
[Marc] This guy…
he doesn't know what's coming.

00:01:45,855 --> 00:01:47,190

00:01:55,865 --> 00:01:58,201
- [door closes]
- [toilet flushes]
34
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:00,912
[Marc] How many times is he gonna pee?
35
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,082
[Maymó] I don't know
if it's nerves or what.
36
00:02:04,165 --> 00:02:06,042
[toilet flushes]
37
00:02:07,252 --> 00:02:10,672
- [Rafa] The toilet's outta water.
- [all laugh]
38
00:02:14,175 --> 00:02:15,635
Come on, man. Let's go.
39
00:02:15,718 --> 00:02:18,096
[inspirational music playing]
40
00:02:24,227 --> 00:02:28,231
[commentator] Rafa trained this morning,
getting ready for a complicated match.
41
00:02:28,314 --> 00:02:31,442
[commentator 2] He faces Alex de Miñaur,
number 11 in the world.
42
00:02:32,318 --> 00:02:34,529
[commentator 3]
What chance do we give Rafa today?
43
00:02:34,612 --> 00:02:36,573
[commentator 4]
I think a low percentage chance.
44
00:02:36,656 --> 00:02:38,324
If you're Nadal, in the back of your mind,
45
00:02:38,408 --> 00:02:42,036
you're scared that
you might just re-injure yourself.
46
00:02:43,454 --> 00:02:45,039
[shutters clicking]
47
00:02:46,958 --> 00:02:48,459
[Rafa] I ended up giving my life
48
00:02:48,543 --> 00:02:52,046
to one of the most
individual sports that exists.
49
00:02:54,841 --> 00:02:58,678
A sport that creates pressure and stress.
50
00:03:01,306 --> 00:03:04,225
You feel nervous. The nerves are real.
51
00:03:05,393 --> 00:03:07,520
That's why, throughout my career,
52
00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:10,982
my routines helped me a lot
to cope with all that.
53
00:03:11,608 --> 00:03:12,650
[crowd cheering]
54
00:03:19,282 --> 00:03:20,867
[Rafa] It was usually…
55
00:03:21,951 --> 00:03:22,952
pants…
56
00:03:23,870 --> 00:03:28,291
this, this, this, this, this, this,
57
00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:30,835
this, this, this…
58
00:03:31,836 --> 00:03:32,712
and this.
59
00:03:34,005 --> 00:03:37,133
During the game,
I would avoid stepping on the lines.
60
00:03:39,093 --> 00:03:40,678
And on clay courts,
61
00:03:40,762 --> 00:03:43,348
I'd sweep the lines
at the beginning of each game
62
00:03:44,265 --> 00:03:46,434
and, then, at break points.
63
00:03:49,687 --> 00:03:53,650
It was a way to shut myself off
from everything around me.
64
00:03:56,527 --> 00:03:58,238
[fan] Come on, Rafa!
65
00:03:59,489 --> 00:04:01,407
[Rafa] I'm in control when I do them.
66
00:04:03,743 --> 00:04:05,203
[inspirational music builds]
67
00:04:07,163 --> 00:04:10,124
[commentator 5] A win today
could make the tennis world take note.
68
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:11,584
Come on!
69
00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:14,003
[commentator 5]
Rafa is here to seriously play.
70
00:04:14,963 --> 00:04:16,923
[commentator 6] This is vintage stuff.
71
00:04:17,757 --> 00:04:20,301
[commentator 7]
Fabulous ball striking from Nadal.
72
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:24,681
[Rafa] To have that feeling you get
by competing at the highest level.
73
00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:27,558
[commentator 6] It's the same amount
of potency as we're used to seeing.
74
00:04:27,642 --> 00:04:30,311
[Rafa] To have the confidence
that I'm going to win.
75
00:04:31,354 --> 00:04:33,648
That feeling in your stomach.
76
00:04:34,148 --> 00:04:35,942
[commentator 7] Nadal, a game away.
77
00:04:36,567 --> 00:04:39,988
[Rafa] You wonder,
"How long can I hold on to this feeling?"
78
00:04:40,738 --> 00:04:44,075
[umpire] Game, set, and match, Nadal.
79
00:04:44,575 --> 00:04:49,914
[commentator 7] It's an enormous win
for Rafael Nadal's 2024 campaign.
80
00:04:50,915 --> 00:04:53,960
[Rafa] Because you know
this feeling won't last forever.
81
00:04:54,460 --> 00:05:00,049
[fans chanting] Rafa! Rafa! Rafa!
82
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:01,551
Rafa!
83
00:05:01,634 --> 00:05:03,553
[cheering in distance]
84
00:05:03,636 --> 00:05:07,056
- [Rafelet squeals]
- [man in Spanish] Let's go! Very good!
85
00:05:09,684 --> 00:05:11,102
[distant screaming]
86
00:05:11,185 --> 00:05:12,437
[indistinct chatter]
87
00:05:13,688 --> 00:05:15,523
[Marc in English] The bulldozer is back.
88
00:05:16,065 --> 00:05:17,233
[laughter]
89
00:05:18,359 --> 00:05:20,820
[Marc] I hadn't seen you play like that
in a long time, man.
90
00:05:21,571 --> 00:05:22,613
Seriously.
91
00:05:23,406 --> 00:05:25,575
[Carlos] Anyway,
you played really well today.
92
00:05:26,117 --> 00:05:27,368
You used to run a lot more.
93
00:05:27,869 --> 00:05:30,663
- [Rafa] If you say so.
- [Carlos] I'm not saying it, I saw it.
94
00:05:32,457 --> 00:05:33,833
[Maymó] It's good to do a little.
95
00:05:33,916 --> 00:05:36,085
You didn't strain yourself much,
but still.
96
00:05:36,169 --> 00:05:37,754
[Rafa] Okay, but I feel fine.
97
00:05:37,837 --> 00:05:40,506
[Maymó] Okay,
but do at least five minutes, just five.
98
00:05:40,590 --> 00:05:41,841
While you drink that.
99
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:44,093
[light instrumental music playing]
100
00:05:46,763 --> 00:05:50,141
{\an8}[Moyá] Being here
and seeing him competitive and happy,
101
00:05:51,768 --> 00:05:53,644
{\an8}for me, is a win.
102
00:05:55,396 --> 00:05:57,565
He needs that confidence because…
103
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:01,569
everything depends on him
believing that he can win.
104
00:06:02,236 --> 00:06:03,988
[distant applause]
105
00:06:05,073 --> 00:06:07,200
[announcer] …his opponent, from Spain,
106
00:06:07,283 --> 00:06:09,035
Rafael Nadal!
107
00:06:09,118 --> 00:06:10,787
[crowd cheering]
108
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:12,955
[commentator] So much at stake here.
109
00:06:14,123 --> 00:06:15,958
Federer, desperate.
110
00:06:16,042 --> 00:06:19,629
Having lost to Nadal last year on clay,
lost to him on grass,
111
00:06:19,712 --> 00:06:22,757
now he certainly doesn't want
to lose to him on hard courts.
112
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:24,425
[tense music playing]
113
00:06:24,509 --> 00:06:27,512
{\an8}It was one of the greatest matches
we played against each other.
114
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:33,726
[commentator] Federer's gotta be thinking,
115
00:06:33,810 --> 00:06:36,979
"What do I have to do
to put this guy away?"
116
00:06:37,647 --> 00:06:38,773
[Roger] Rafa was
117
00:06:39,273 --> 00:06:40,942
just at the absolute peak.
118
00:06:45,613 --> 00:06:46,781
Come on!
119
00:06:47,281 --> 00:06:49,700
[commentator 1]
Rafael Nadal wins in Melbourne
120
00:06:49,784 --> 00:06:52,203
at the Australian Open,
for the first time.
121
00:06:53,204 --> 00:06:55,998
[commentator 2] Rafa Nadal
is the new number 1 in the world.
122
00:06:56,082 --> 00:06:58,501
The Federer era is over.
123
00:06:58,584 --> 00:07:00,169
[dynamic martial music playing]
124
00:07:03,881 --> 00:07:07,176
[commentator 3] He does things
on the court that nobody else could do.
125
00:07:12,890 --> 00:07:15,601
[commentator 4] The new champion,
Rafael Nadal!
126
00:07:16,102 --> 00:07:19,814
[announcer]
The invincible man, Rafa Nadal!
127
00:07:21,149 --> 00:07:23,776
[Wertheim]
2010 is, in some ways, prime Rafa.
128
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:25,111
He wins at Roland-Garros.
129
00:07:25,945 --> 00:07:28,698
Ends up winning his second Wimbledon.
130
00:07:29,699 --> 00:07:31,701
{\an8}And I remember the discussion shifts.
131
00:07:31,784 --> 00:07:34,412
{\an8}We were all seduced by Roger Federer, but…
132
00:07:34,495 --> 00:07:39,250
"Holy shit! Maybe this
is the greatest player that ever lived."
133
00:07:39,333 --> 00:07:41,335
[dynamic upbeat music playing]
134
00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:46,048
[commentator 1] Rafael Nadal is
the top-ranked tennis player in the world.
135
00:07:47,008 --> 00:07:48,551
He's in New York for the US Open,
136
00:07:48,634 --> 00:07:52,096
the only major tournament
Nadal hasn't won.
137
00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:54,599
[Rafa] Pressure.
138
00:07:55,808 --> 00:07:57,226
That's what I felt.
139
00:07:57,852 --> 00:07:59,896
Because, by winning the US Open,
140
00:07:59,979 --> 00:08:02,315
I would have won all four Grand Slams.
141
00:08:02,815 --> 00:08:03,816
For a tennis player,
142
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:06,402
winning all four Slams is something
143
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:08,821
that very few people have done.
144
00:08:09,655 --> 00:08:12,450
[commentator 2] Tennis fans
around the world hoping it will be
145
00:08:12,533 --> 00:08:14,535
this man and Roger Federer.
146
00:08:14,619 --> 00:08:18,456
Everybody around the world is…
wants that final so badly.
147
00:08:23,961 --> 00:08:25,087
[music fades]
148
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:27,173
[commentator 1]
Live from the men's championship,
149
00:08:27,256 --> 00:08:29,926
world number 1, Rafa Nadal,
150
00:08:30,885 --> 00:08:34,013
against number 3 seed, Novak Djokovic.
151
00:08:34,096 --> 00:08:36,098
[foreboding music playing]
152
00:08:38,601 --> 00:08:40,603
[Novak] Rafa and Roger in the finals.
153
00:08:40,686 --> 00:08:43,064
That was the scenario
everybody wants to see.
154
00:08:43,564 --> 00:08:45,858
But I didn't care. Actually…
155
00:08:46,609 --> 00:08:50,279
{\an8}I did care to not allow that to happen.
156
00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:51,822
[cheering]
157
00:08:51,906 --> 00:08:55,576
[commentator 2] Now, of course,
with Novak Djokovic as well, in the mix.
158
00:08:55,660 --> 00:08:57,662
[soft battle music playing]
159
00:08:58,246 --> 00:08:59,205
[Rafa] At that moment,
160
00:08:59,288 --> 00:09:03,834
I saw the danger that not only Roger
was fighting for number 1.
161
00:09:03,918 --> 00:09:06,045
But Novak was also coming in.
162
00:09:07,463 --> 00:09:08,881
[crowd cheering]
163
00:09:08,965 --> 00:09:11,634
[Clarey] Nadal and Novak,
they had a history.
164
00:09:12,134 --> 00:09:15,388
{\an8}They had played for the first time
on tour at the French Open, 2006.
165
00:09:17,974 --> 00:09:20,268
Novak made his first big run at a major.
166
00:09:20,351 --> 00:09:22,061
But he hadn't done much until then.
167
00:09:22,937 --> 00:09:26,440
And he ended up losing
the first two sets to Rafa, 6-4, 6-4.
168
00:09:26,524 --> 00:09:28,192
Then he retired citing a back injury.
169
00:09:28,276 --> 00:09:29,819
[umpire] Game, set, and match, Nadal.
170
00:09:29,902 --> 00:09:33,072
Even though he's the best
and everybody thinks he's unbeatable,
171
00:09:33,155 --> 00:09:35,241
I say he's not unbeatable, he's beatable.
172
00:09:35,324 --> 00:09:36,617
Are you kidding me?
173
00:09:36,701 --> 00:09:38,661
Djokovic, do you need some smelling salts?
174
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:40,871
It was a heavyweight
versus a middleweight.
175
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:42,540
You were being pushed back.
176
00:09:42,623 --> 00:09:46,794
It felt like Rafa and Roger
were crafted by the tennis gods.
177
00:09:48,838 --> 00:09:52,550
And so I had to fight
for my place under the sun.
178
00:09:53,134 --> 00:09:54,260
[crowd cheering]
179
00:09:56,137 --> 00:09:59,682
{\an8}Djokovic is totally different
in character from Roger and Rafa.
180
00:10:00,391 --> 00:10:03,853
I mean, he was someone
who was constantly making jokes.
181
00:10:03,936 --> 00:10:07,273
{\an8}He was doing these imitations of players,
including Rafa.
182
00:10:08,065 --> 00:10:09,609
[crowd laughing, applauding]
183
00:10:09,692 --> 00:10:11,319
[Rafa] He wasn't a shy person.
184
00:10:13,571 --> 00:10:16,282
It really didn't… bother me.
185
00:10:16,365 --> 00:10:17,825
No.
186
00:10:18,409 --> 00:10:19,535
Although, it…
187
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:21,579
[blows air]
188
00:10:21,662 --> 00:10:24,081
I don't remember very well
if it bothered me.
189
00:10:24,165 --> 00:10:26,375
Not much. Surely, not much.
190
00:10:28,127 --> 00:10:32,757
[commentator] Rafa Nadal. So much
at stake for this 24-year-old Spaniard.
191
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,967
[expectant music playing]
192
00:10:47,438 --> 00:10:48,481
[commentator] Wow!
193
00:10:48,564 --> 00:10:51,442
Djokovic would've won this point
against anyone else.
194
00:10:51,525 --> 00:10:53,736
[Toni] When you looked at Djokovic,
195
00:10:53,819 --> 00:10:57,239
you could tell he was confident
because he was playing really well.
196
00:10:58,157 --> 00:11:00,076
That could be a big problem.
197
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:01,952
[commentator 2]
Djokovic, with all this effort,
198
00:11:02,036 --> 00:11:06,040
it's even now more incredible
what Nadal's pulling off.
199
00:11:10,419 --> 00:11:12,421
[cheering erupts]
200
00:11:13,172 --> 00:11:15,341
[commentator 3] His career slam is grand.
201
00:11:16,133 --> 00:11:17,718
Rafael Nadal!
202
00:11:18,219 --> 00:11:20,930
The final jewel in his crown.
203
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:23,683
[dynamic upbeat music playing]

00:11:23,766 --> 00:11:26,268
[presenter] Please welcome
US Open Men's Champion,
205
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:27,395
Rafael Nadal!
206
00:11:29,939 --> 00:11:32,108
[Rafa] After winning the US Open,
207
00:11:32,191 --> 00:11:34,276
it was a bit of a media frenzy.
208
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,569
[shutters clicking]
209
00:11:35,653 --> 00:11:37,405
[fan] Rafa, I love you!
210
00:11:38,322 --> 00:11:40,116
[Rafa] But I've never liked
211
00:11:40,991 --> 00:11:42,827
being the center of attention.
212
00:11:43,786 --> 00:11:46,163
[David Letterman]
Please welcome Rafael Nadal.
213
00:11:46,247 --> 00:11:47,623
[applause]
214
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:51,419
{\an8}I remember a lot of media telling me,
"He's gonna love to do this." Well…
215
00:11:52,336 --> 00:11:54,588
I would say, in a very polite way,
216
00:11:54,672 --> 00:11:56,507
"No, that's not the right word."
217
00:11:56,590 --> 00:11:58,426
I have no idea what this is.
218
00:11:58,509 --> 00:12:00,469
[audience laughs]
219
00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:03,222
[Letterman]
Looks like you in your underpants.
220
00:12:03,305 --> 00:12:05,599
[Benito] He knew it was part of his job,
221
00:12:05,683 --> 00:12:08,602
but, yeah,
doing something out of his comfort zone,
222
00:12:08,686 --> 00:12:09,937
you know, was not easy.
223
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:14,442
[Rafa] I remember when I went
to do a music video with Shakira.
224
00:12:15,526 --> 00:12:20,030
I had to ask for a bottle of tequila
to drink a few shots to relax a bit.
225
00:12:20,114 --> 00:12:21,365

[interviewer] You're kind of a sex symbol.
228
00:12:25,035 --> 00:12:26,120
[Rafa] No, I don't know…
229
00:12:26,203 --> 00:12:29,123
I really never stop to think these things.
230
00:12:29,206 --> 00:12:31,417
So, Rafael, uh, you got a girlfriend?
231
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:32,835
[laughter]
232
00:12:32,918 --> 00:12:33,919
I have.
233
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:37,006
I can't get over the way
you're flirting with him!
234
00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:38,716
{\an8}[music fades]
235
00:12:39,467 --> 00:12:42,470
{\an8}People don't know
that he is, in essence, a shy person.
236
00:12:42,553 --> 00:12:43,929
[shutters clicking]
237
00:12:46,056 --> 00:12:47,224
Good luck, Nadal!
238
00:12:48,142 --> 00:12:51,103
[María] We grew up in a very small town.
239
00:12:51,187 --> 00:12:53,189
[nostalgic music playing]
240
00:12:54,315 --> 00:12:57,109
Our families knew each other
241
00:12:57,193 --> 00:12:59,278
since before we were born.
242
00:13:00,863 --> 00:13:04,450
I remember, for example,
being at Rafa's first communion.
243
00:13:06,035 --> 00:13:08,496
But, of course,
I would've been six years old.
244
00:13:10,164 --> 00:13:14,627
We got to know each other better
when we were teenagers.
245
00:13:16,337 --> 00:13:19,298
I remember we started dating
during a summer.
246
00:13:19,381 --> 00:13:21,884
It was 2000…
It must've been the summer of…
247
00:13:21,967 --> 00:13:24,637
I'm really bad at these things.
Rafa's gonna kill me.
248
00:13:25,387 --> 00:13:27,264
[man] You're good
with those text messages, huh?
249
00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:28,224
[Rafa] Well…
250
00:13:29,433 --> 00:13:31,769
[María] He was chasing me
during that time.
251
00:13:33,103 --> 00:13:36,524
[Rafa] I started sending her
some messages and…
252
00:13:36,607 --> 00:13:39,735
she would reply,
but without much interest.
253
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:41,904
[man] Don't be sad. She'll come around.
254
00:13:41,987 --> 00:13:44,240
- I'm a mess right now.

Wha…!
259
00:13:53,123 --> 00:13:54,583
I was in love with her.
260
00:13:55,417 --> 00:13:58,212
She gave me the inner strength…
261
00:13:59,338 --> 00:14:01,173
to maintain stability
262
00:14:02,049 --> 00:14:03,467
when I really needed it.
263
00:14:03,551 --> 00:14:05,344
[emotional music playing]
264
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:08,556
Rafa really likes to be at home,
265
00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:12,351
with his family, in Mallorca…
266
00:14:13,811 --> 00:14:18,357
[Rafa] I lived at home
with my parents until I was…
267
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,526
31? 32?
268
00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:23,571
I never felt like leaving. No.
269
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:29,410
[Maribel] In our family,
we have always been very close.
270
00:14:34,415 --> 00:14:38,252
When we were living in Manacor,
our grandparents lived on the first floor.
271
00:14:38,752 --> 00:14:41,964
Toni on the second floor,
and we were on the third.
272
00:14:42,923 --> 00:14:44,300
So ever since he was a kid,
273
00:14:44,383 --> 00:14:47,970
he's always spent
a lot of time with our family.
274
00:14:51,015 --> 00:14:53,976
And I think that
this has also made him grow up
275
00:14:54,059 --> 00:14:58,188
in a very family-oriented
and also very safe environment.

00:15:12,494 --> 00:15:13,495
I feel like
279
00:15:13,996 --> 00:15:16,874
I can be more myself.
280
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:21,170

Which are the ones with Nutella?
284
00:15:31,555 --> 00:15:33,349
And live like someone…
285
00:15:33,974 --> 00:15:35,309
with a normal life.
286
00:15:37,561 --> 00:15:40,731
[Rafa] Rafelet!? What a miss! Way off!
287
00:15:40,814 --> 00:15:42,524
[woman] Incredible!
288
00:15:43,859 --> 00:15:46,028
[Rafa] Okay, focus. One more try.
289
00:15:47,154 --> 00:15:49,490
Good! That was so good!
290
00:15:53,911 --> 00:15:56,538

- No, go ahead, eat.

00:16:00,793 --> 00:16:02,628
You're at your best right now.
293

[Rafa laughs warmly]
294

You don't notice, but…
295
00:16:09,885 --> 00:16:12,554
you're at a point
where you look spectacular.
296
00:16:15,182 --> 00:16:16,517
Did you treat me?
297
00:16:20,396 --> 00:16:22,439
[poignant music playing]
298
00:16:26,193 --> 00:16:29,363
[commentator 1] At the end of the day,
Rafa got in three wins in Madrid.
299
00:16:29,446 --> 00:16:31,240
He was able to make some strides.
300
00:16:31,323 --> 00:16:34,994
Proved to himself that he could play
match after match, healthwise.
301
00:16:35,077 --> 00:16:37,746
What's your biggest takeaway
from this tournament for Nadal?
302
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:40,082
[commentator 2] My biggest takeaway
is there's optimism.
303
00:16:43,335 --> 00:16:44,545
[Moyá] Brutal, man.
304
00:16:45,421 --> 00:16:47,047
- Mentally, he's doing well.
- What?
305
00:16:47,131 --> 00:16:48,424
His head's in a good place today.
306
00:16:48,507 --> 00:16:51,552
[commentator 2] Now it's…
He has a week, effectively,
307
00:16:51,635 --> 00:16:53,595
before he would start in Rome.
308
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:56,682
Ultimately, he's playing
the long game for Roland-Garros.
309
00:16:56,765 --> 00:16:59,268
[commentator 1]
If he feels the way he's felt this week,
310
00:16:59,351 --> 00:17:01,395
he will be playing Roland-Garros.
311
00:17:02,896 --> 00:17:05,816
[María] He's having his best moment
since last year.
312
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:10,237
And in the end, what matters is that…
313
00:17:12,406 --> 00:17:14,408
he sees himself playing well.
314
00:17:15,826 --> 00:17:19,371
And to have his son see him lift a trophy,
315
00:17:20,414 --> 00:17:22,249
that's what he wants most in life.
316
00:17:22,332 --> 00:17:25,210
And, of course,
for his son to see him win.
317
00:17:25,711 --> 00:17:27,713
[Rafa exclaims playfully]
318
00:17:27,796 --> 00:17:29,423
[cheering rises]
319
00:17:29,506 --> 00:17:30,799
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
320
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,720
the winner of the 2010

00:17:34,803 --> 00:17:36,805
Rafael Nadal!
322
00:17:38,348 --> 00:17:41,518
[Rafa] At that time,
I was the best player in the world.
323
00:17:43,145 --> 00:17:44,563
But that's never enough.
324
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:50,152
To be the best player in the world,
you have to prove it in every tournament.
325
00:17:50,235 --> 00:17:51,570
[music fades]
326
00:17:52,237 --> 00:17:55,491
[commentator 1] Let's transition now
to the men's singles final.
327
00:17:56,158 --> 00:17:59,620
[commentator 2] Rafael Nadal,
the number 1 ranked player in the world,
328
00:17:59,703 --> 00:18:02,122
taking on Novak Djokovic.
329
00:18:02,623 --> 00:18:06,710
[commentator 3] The hottest player.
Hasn't fared well in finals against Rafa,
330
00:18:06,794 --> 00:18:08,796
so that's a big asterisk.
331
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:12,674
[Ángel] The feeling with Djokovic was,
he's very good,
332
00:18:12,758 --> 00:18:16,095
but he's still not able to beat
the best when it really matters.
333
00:18:16,178 --> 00:18:17,554
[intriguing music playing]
334
00:18:18,639 --> 00:18:20,641
But in 2011, the threat becomes real.
335
00:18:27,147 --> 00:18:28,065
[indistinct]
336
00:18:29,233 --> 00:18:31,360
Everybody wants to take down the number 1.
337
00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:36,657
So, being the hunter oftentimes is better.
338
00:18:37,241 --> 00:18:38,826
Because you feel like
339
00:18:39,326 --> 00:18:42,955
you want to fight for your success,
rather than defend it.
340
00:18:44,331 --> 00:18:47,417
[commentator 3]
Djokovic takes a commanding lead!
341
00:18:47,501 --> 00:18:49,586
So, it's a psychological battle.
342
00:18:50,170 --> 00:18:52,548
[commentator 3]
I see frustration from Nadal now.
343
00:18:52,631 --> 00:18:54,341
Don't see that very often.
344
00:18:54,424 --> 00:18:55,467
[music builds]
345
00:18:55,551 --> 00:18:59,429
There comes a time
when players who are very good…
346
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:02,766
[commentator 3] Oh!
347
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:06,270
…can make drastic changes
in a short amount of time.
348
00:19:07,729 --> 00:19:10,983
[commentator 3]
Novak Djokovic is your champion here!
349
00:19:13,235 --> 00:19:17,322
We'll see how far Djokovic
can take this momentum.
350
00:19:18,115 --> 00:19:20,993
{\an8}The next match together,
they played again in a final.
351
00:19:21,076 --> 00:19:22,244
Now in Miami.
352
00:19:25,205 --> 00:19:27,833
Now, he is the one with the pressure.
353
00:19:28,417 --> 00:19:30,502
[intriguing music continues]
354
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:35,549
[Roig] With Djokovic,
the matches were very tough.
355
00:19:36,258 --> 00:19:38,260
[commentator] You got to be kidding me!
356
00:19:38,343 --> 00:19:40,637
{\an8}Rafa always said,
"If I play against Federer,
357
00:19:40,721 --> 00:19:43,182
{\an8}I know that if I play six,
seven good shots,
358
00:19:43,265 --> 00:19:45,017
{\an8}I'm probably going to win the point."
359
00:19:46,685 --> 00:19:48,979
[commentator]
How does he get a racket on that?
360
00:19:49,479 --> 00:19:52,441
"Against Djokovic,
I could hit 15 and still lose."
361
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:57,237
- [commentator 2] He's done it!
- [crowd cheering]
362
00:20:00,824 --> 00:20:02,951
[Rafa] When I lose the final in Miami,
363
00:20:03,660 --> 00:20:06,705
I realized that my mind
isn't reacting like it used to.
364
00:20:07,289 --> 00:20:08,874
[announcer] Novak Djokovic.
365
00:20:09,374 --> 00:20:11,793
[commentator]
Djokovic hasn't lost a match all year.
366
00:20:12,794 --> 00:20:17,925
But, of course, let's not forget
that he's never beaten Nadal on clay.
367
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,472
[Novak] You could sense
that there's some doubt in him,
368
00:20:23,555 --> 00:20:25,974
and I wanted him to feel that.
369
00:20:26,058 --> 00:20:27,517
[tense music playing]
370
00:20:36,735 --> 00:20:38,195
[music builds]
371
00:20:38,779 --> 00:20:41,448
[commentator] Victory for Djokovic
372
00:20:41,531 --> 00:20:43,367
on the Spaniard's beloved clay.
373
00:20:46,286 --> 00:20:49,748
There's a moment
when you start to lose your confidence.
374
00:20:50,916 --> 00:20:53,502
And it's the fish that bites its own tail.
375
00:20:54,211 --> 00:20:56,838
I start failing, I lose confidence.
376
00:20:56,922 --> 00:20:58,882
I lose confidence, I fail even more.
377
00:20:58,966 --> 00:21:02,719
[commentator] Oh!
Djokovic is the champion in Rome!
378
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:05,472
That's where I felt,
"Okay, I got in his head,
379
00:21:05,555 --> 00:21:07,099
now I just need to keep going."
380
00:21:07,683 --> 00:21:10,644
I had in my head that he had surpassed me.
381
00:21:11,436 --> 00:21:15,357
[commentator] And it's been Nadal,
who at critical junctures, has missed.
382
00:21:16,441 --> 00:21:18,986
Which we're so not used
to seeing that from Rafa.
383
00:21:23,073 --> 00:21:24,157
- Out!
- That's wide.
384
00:21:24,241 --> 00:21:26,785
[commentator] Novak Djokovic
is your champion here
385
00:21:26,868 --> 00:21:30,706
and, you'd have to say,
he's the best player in the world.
386
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:34,042
[commentator 2]
Now, that is five straight victories
387
00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:36,295
over Rafa Nadal.
388
00:21:36,795 --> 00:21:40,090
[Wertheim] I remember Rafa
walks into that press conference.
389
00:21:41,341 --> 00:21:44,386
A guy who was sort of dazed.
390
00:21:46,305 --> 00:21:48,307
You had a feeling Novak had, like…
391
00:21:49,433 --> 00:21:50,851
taken his soul.
392
00:21:51,601 --> 00:21:55,439
I lose because I'm playing against
the best player of the moment,
393
00:21:55,522 --> 00:21:58,650
the best player of the world, tomorrow.
394
00:21:58,734 --> 00:21:59,776
And…
395
00:22:00,485 --> 00:22:01,903
[music fades]
396
00:22:01,987 --> 00:22:03,405
…and I am the second.
397
00:22:03,905 --> 00:22:07,409
The great Rafa Nadal
now seemed kind of broken.
398
00:22:08,577 --> 00:22:12,039
[announcer] 2011 US Open
Men's Singles Champion,
399
00:22:12,122 --> 00:22:13,957
Novak Djokovic!
400
00:22:15,542 --> 00:22:16,877
[Toni] It was a disaster.
401
00:22:19,046 --> 00:22:21,757
He couldn't fight anymore.
He didn't know how.
402
00:22:25,427 --> 00:22:27,012
It's a stressful time
403
00:22:27,512 --> 00:22:29,181
that you have to overcome.
404
00:22:29,264 --> 00:22:31,516
- [racket strikes]
- [Rafa grunts]
405
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,853
And if you don't overcome it,
then you stop being good.
406
00:22:35,437 --> 00:22:37,439
[poignant music playing]
407
00:22:39,649 --> 00:22:43,987
{\an8}Toni has helped him a lot
to become as strong as he has been.
408
00:22:44,780 --> 00:22:49,368
But as a mother,
I was worried about all that pressure.
409
00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:54,122
Because he started
to have to fight battles in his head
410
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:56,708
at a very young age.
411
00:23:01,505 --> 00:23:04,007
"It always seems
like I have to be better."
412
00:23:05,217 --> 00:23:07,552
"It always seems like it's not enough."
413
00:23:08,845 --> 00:23:11,223
"It always seems
like you have to go higher."
414
00:23:12,516 --> 00:23:14,643
[reporter in Spanish]
Rafael Nadal has been confirmed
415
00:23:14,726 --> 00:23:17,145
as the best under-14 player in Spain.
416
00:23:17,771 --> 00:23:21,358
[Ana María in English] That even if
you get higher, you won't be the best.
417
00:23:21,441 --> 00:23:23,443
You have to go even higher.
418
00:23:23,527 --> 00:23:27,197
- [interviewer] What do you plan to do now?
- [young Rafa] Continue training, I guess.
419
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,075
I don't know,
I think this tournament is important,
420
00:23:30,158 --> 00:23:32,619
but winning this tournament doesn't mean
421
00:23:32,702 --> 00:23:35,747
that you are already a very good player.
422
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:39,793
[Ana María]
All this creates insecurities in you.
423
00:23:41,378 --> 00:23:45,549
[commentator] And here we go again.
Sock. The hair is coming next.
424
00:23:47,634 --> 00:23:49,761
[María] As time has gone by,
425
00:23:49,845 --> 00:23:52,013
he has been adding routines.
426
00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:54,850
- Come on, Rafael!
- Come on!
427
00:23:56,059 --> 00:23:57,310
[umpire] Time.
428
00:23:59,604 --> 00:24:00,689
This, this,
429
00:24:00,772 --> 00:24:03,692
the bottles, this,
the lines, this, waiting…
430
00:24:03,775 --> 00:24:07,154
So I told him, "Well, stop doing it.
We're making a fool of ourselves."
431
00:24:10,073 --> 00:24:15,328
There were times when I tried
to get rid of some routines.
432
00:24:18,248 --> 00:24:20,375
Because, when I saw myself on TV,
433
00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:23,086
I didn't like to see myself
doing those things.
434
00:24:23,587 --> 00:24:25,213
But, uh…
435
00:24:26,798 --> 00:24:28,008
But I couldn't.
436
00:24:29,009 --> 00:24:30,093
I needed them.
437
00:24:32,095 --> 00:24:34,055
They made me feel safe.
438
00:24:37,350 --> 00:24:39,227
Everyone feels pressure.
439
00:24:40,270 --> 00:24:42,564
But, of course, that's why you're good.
440
00:24:44,065 --> 00:24:46,151
Because you can handle that pressure.
441
00:24:52,032 --> 00:24:52,991
[music stops]
442
00:24:57,287 --> 00:25:00,582
[commentator] Another week of training.
Getting back into the rhythm, into shape.
443
00:25:00,665 --> 00:25:02,209
Three, four matches in Rome.
444
00:25:02,292 --> 00:25:04,753
[commentator 2] I don't think
he should put pressure on himself.
445
00:25:04,836 --> 00:25:07,797
He has to go out there and play.
See how things go.
446
00:25:11,384 --> 00:25:13,386
[Gustavo]
There was an unevenness on this side,
447
00:25:13,470 --> 00:25:15,222
but not on that side.
448
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:17,766
That one was much less.
449
00:25:19,267 --> 00:25:21,269
[diligent music playing]
450
00:25:24,439 --> 00:25:26,816
- [Moyá] You play backhand to him, okay?
- Okay.
451
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:28,610
[Moyá] Hit hard. Let's see that forehand.
452
00:25:34,032 --> 00:25:36,493
To me, it's all about
him controlling his mind.
453
00:25:36,993 --> 00:25:40,413
If he's nervous,
he volleys badly, hits badly,
454
00:25:40,497 --> 00:25:42,207
moves all over the place.
455
00:25:42,791 --> 00:25:45,669
He's slow, reacts late,
gets uncoordinated, all that.
456
00:25:48,338 --> 00:25:49,422
And when he's calm…
457
00:25:51,299 --> 00:25:52,926
everything's better, man.
458
00:25:58,765 --> 00:26:01,017
- [Gustavo] Do a reset now, yeah?
- Come on.
459
00:26:01,101 --> 00:26:03,353
[Rafa] I've been resetting
the whole training session
460
00:26:03,436 --> 00:26:05,188
because I keep acting like a moron.
461
00:26:07,107 --> 00:26:09,150
[reporter] What is it
that you need the most?
462
00:26:09,234 --> 00:26:11,695
What we need the most is…
463
00:26:12,195 --> 00:26:13,697
to beat Djokovic.
464
00:26:17,826 --> 00:26:20,161
[Rafa] Novak was winning the mental battle
465
00:26:20,662 --> 00:26:22,539
and I needed to change that.
466
00:26:24,541 --> 00:26:27,168
[Toni] To me,
it's not just a mental issue,
467
00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:28,920
it's a preparation issue.
468
00:26:30,046 --> 00:26:33,008
I can give you confidence,
once you are prepared.
469
00:26:33,592 --> 00:26:35,885
[smooth resolute music playing]
470
00:26:35,969 --> 00:26:37,470
[Toni] The change was the forehand.
471
00:26:37,554 --> 00:26:39,264
A more aggressive forehand.
472
00:26:40,849 --> 00:26:43,018
I remember showing him clips.
473
00:26:43,101 --> 00:26:47,772
I told him, "Federer and Djokovic,
when they hit a winner, they jump."
474
00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:51,693
With that, they get an extra
in terms of speed
475
00:26:51,776 --> 00:26:55,322
and, more importantly,
an extra to their will to win.
476
00:26:56,990 --> 00:26:59,492
I made him hit winners from this side,
477
00:26:59,576 --> 00:27:02,537
from that side, from here, from there…
478
00:27:03,246 --> 00:27:04,289
Come on.
479
00:27:07,208 --> 00:27:09,711
[Rafa] Toni helped me
change the situation.
480
00:27:09,794 --> 00:27:12,714
I was starting to feel mentally prepared.
481
00:27:12,797 --> 00:27:14,299
[cheering rises]
482
00:27:14,382 --> 00:27:16,384
[hopeful ethereal music playing]
483

[cheering continues]
484
00:27:24,934 --> 00:27:26,686
[commentator 1]
What a match it's going to be.
485
00:27:27,187 --> 00:27:31,149
They are both at the top of their game.
The two best players in the world.
486
00:27:31,650 --> 00:27:36,071
The difference for Rafael Nadal
this time is that he is number 2.
487
00:27:36,988 --> 00:27:38,031
He is the hunter,
488
00:27:39,074 --> 00:27:39,991
rather than the hunted.
489
00:27:41,993 --> 00:27:43,119
[music fades]
490
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,420
[commentator 2] There's the forehand.
This is the one that does the damage.
491
00:27:52,504 --> 00:27:55,507
I don't know what happened,
but he was so aggressive.
492
00:27:56,299 --> 00:27:58,301
[rousing battle music playing]
493
00:28:00,387 --> 00:28:03,973
[Rafa] My forehands were more damaging
than a few months before.
494
00:28:06,351 --> 00:28:09,270
[commentator 2] An incredible forehand,
that's the favorite shot.
495
00:28:09,354 --> 00:28:12,107
[commentator 1]
Rafael Nadal takes the first set
496
00:28:12,190 --> 00:28:14,401
after one hour and twenty minutes.
497
00:28:15,318 --> 00:28:17,946
[Rafa] But, even though I may feel better,
498
00:28:18,029 --> 00:28:22,075
I also think about what happened
a few months before.
499
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,078
{\an8}[crowd exclaims]
500
00:28:25,662 --> 00:28:28,081
[commentator 1]
Djokovic levels up the match.
501
00:28:31,292 --> 00:28:32,794
[music intensifies]
502
00:28:39,008 --> 00:28:41,094
[commentator 2]
Djokovic looks so confident.
503
00:28:41,177 --> 00:28:44,556
[commentator 1] In contrast,
the look on Rafa's face told a lot.
504
00:28:45,557 --> 00:28:47,767
[commentator 3]
You can sense that Nadal's thinking,
505
00:28:47,851 --> 00:28:49,185
"This is déjà vu."
506
00:28:49,686 --> 00:28:53,648
[commentator 2] It is going to take
a Herculean effort from the Spaniard
507
00:28:53,732 --> 00:28:56,192
to take it out to five sets.
508
00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:58,778
[Rafa] Throughout the whole year,
509
00:28:58,862 --> 00:29:01,406
when the important moments
against Novak came,
510
00:29:02,198 --> 00:29:06,035
I'd feel that, mentally,
I didn't fully believe
511
00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:07,203
that I could win.
512
00:29:09,914 --> 00:29:12,834
But here, what I had been feeling…
513
00:29:14,627 --> 00:29:15,712
[line] Out!
514
00:29:16,755 --> 00:29:17,922
…was changing.
515
00:29:18,923 --> 00:29:21,259
[commentator 1] It is two sets apiece.
516
00:29:24,721 --> 00:29:28,808
Nadal collapses to his knees
and then bounces straight back up,
517
00:29:28,892 --> 00:29:32,520
because he knows
the job is still there to be done.
518
00:29:32,604 --> 00:29:36,441
[commentator 3] This is the first time
Nadal truly believes that he can win.
519
00:29:36,524 --> 00:29:38,401
He's been hoping, he's been wanting,
520
00:29:38,485 --> 00:29:41,488
but this is the first time
he truly believes it.
521
00:29:42,655 --> 00:29:46,993
[commentator 1] Officially,
the longest Grand Slam final in history.
522
00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:54,918
[commentator 2] Djokovic stretching
to try and keep limber and loose.
523
00:29:55,001 --> 00:29:56,503
The fifth set was brutal.
524
00:29:58,171 --> 00:30:00,965
I'd say it was physically… devastating.
525
00:30:04,761 --> 00:30:06,137
[commentator 2] Oh, boy!
526
00:30:06,221 --> 00:30:07,847
Djokovic is down.
527
00:30:08,431 --> 00:30:10,266
[commentator 1]
Thirty-one points in the rally.
528
00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:14,020
The crowd just standing and applauding.
They're standing up here.
529
00:30:14,562 --> 00:30:16,397
[Novak] I was really worn out.
530
00:30:16,940 --> 00:30:22,153
Doubt was creeping in more and more
whether I can pull this through.
531
00:30:23,863 --> 00:30:25,782
[Rafa] I was suffering.
532
00:30:26,783 --> 00:30:28,743
But I was also enjoying
533
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:31,996
seeing myself once again competing
534
00:30:32,789 --> 00:30:34,040
at the highest level.
535
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:37,418
[umpire] Nadal leads 4-2.
536
00:30:38,336 --> 00:30:39,712
[Novak] He was a break up.
537
00:30:41,464 --> 00:30:43,508
And I still remember that point.
538
00:30:47,345 --> 00:30:49,848
He plays drop shot.
I play counter drop shot.
539
00:30:51,349 --> 00:30:52,600
A pretty bad one.
540
00:30:52,684 --> 00:30:54,602
[pulsing music playing]
541
00:30:54,686 --> 00:30:57,355
A passing shot. Very, very easy.
542
00:31:00,775 --> 00:31:04,445
By winning this point,
the match was basically won.
543
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:10,910
[line] Out!
544
00:31:10,994 --> 00:31:13,830
[commentator] Nadal challenges.
The call was a little late.
545
00:31:16,416 --> 00:31:17,625
[commentator 2] Oh, boy!
546
00:31:17,709 --> 00:31:18,918
Can you believe it!
547
00:31:19,002 --> 00:31:21,796
[match replaying on player]
548
00:31:22,297 --> 00:31:23,339
[sound cuts off]
549
00:31:25,633 --> 00:31:26,801
It hurts to watch.
550
00:31:29,762 --> 00:31:31,431
[melancholic music playing]
551
00:31:39,772 --> 00:31:43,192
[commentator] As brave a performance
as Rafael Nadal has produced,
552
00:31:43,276 --> 00:31:45,653
he still walks away empty-handed.
553
00:31:48,740 --> 00:31:50,700
[Rafa] There are times
when you lose a match
554
00:31:50,783 --> 00:31:53,161
and see it in a negative
or a positive way.
555
00:31:54,078 --> 00:31:55,413
[cheering]
556
00:32:01,252 --> 00:32:03,630
[Rafa] And that day I lost the match,
557
00:32:05,048 --> 00:32:10,094
but I wasn't frustrated, or devastated,
or anything like that.
558
00:32:11,888 --> 00:32:12,889
I was satisfied.
559
00:32:15,391 --> 00:32:17,226
I had overcome my mental barrier.
560
00:32:17,727 --> 00:32:19,187
[shutters clicking]
561
00:32:19,270 --> 00:32:20,688
[Rafa] I felt that…
562
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:23,107
I was back.
563
00:32:23,733 --> 00:32:24,734
[music fades]
564
00:32:24,817 --> 00:32:25,818
[sirens blaring]
565
00:32:31,366 --> 00:32:33,284
[commentator]
Rafa Nadal will be debuting in Rome.
566
00:32:33,368 --> 00:32:36,245
The Masters 1000
is starting today in the Italian capital.
567
00:32:36,329 --> 00:32:38,790
The last tournament
before Roland-Garros begins.
568
00:32:38,873 --> 00:32:40,291
[fans shouting and cheering]
569
00:32:41,376 --> 00:32:44,087
[commentator 2] It's time to push
and see where he is at
570
00:32:44,170 --> 00:32:46,130
and how he can get to Paris.
571
00:32:46,214 --> 00:32:48,549
The key here is to avoid injuries.
572
00:32:49,133 --> 00:32:51,552
And, in Paris, to give it all.
573
00:32:58,393 --> 00:32:59,435
[Moyá] Oh!
574
00:33:01,604 --> 00:33:03,314
He's a completely different player now.
575
00:33:04,565 --> 00:33:05,858
[Moyá] The beast, huh?
576
00:33:06,567 --> 00:33:08,569
[hopeful music playing]
577
00:33:13,199 --> 00:33:17,662
[commentator 1] Almost three hours
on the clock. Nadal looking to seal it.
578
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,082
[applause]
579
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,378
[Moyá] Win using your head, Rafael.
580
00:33:26,295 --> 00:33:27,672
Come on, Rafael! Let's go!
581
00:33:38,182 --> 00:33:40,059
- Ah!
- Come on!
582
00:33:41,144 --> 00:33:43,396
Come on! Come on!
583
00:33:44,355 --> 00:33:47,775
[umpire] 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.
584
00:33:51,529 --> 00:33:55,366
[reporter]Rafa Nadal wins on his return
to the courts of the Italian Open.
585
00:33:55,450 --> 00:33:58,411
This afternoon
we have seen him stronger, more positive,
586
00:33:58,494 --> 00:34:01,372
and fully aware of what he is capable of.
587
00:34:05,543 --> 00:34:07,545
[rising cheers]
588
00:34:11,257 --> 00:34:14,761
{\an8}[announcer] The 2012 champion,
Novak Djokovic!
589
00:34:17,805 --> 00:34:22,185
[Rafa] In 2012,
I'm coming from losing all those finals.
590
00:34:22,268 --> 00:34:24,729
[fans calling] Rafa! Rafa!
591
00:34:24,812 --> 00:34:29,358
[Rafa] But I'm mentally prepared
to try to be able to win.
592
00:34:29,442 --> 00:34:31,444
[tantalizing music playing]
593
00:34:34,822 --> 00:34:37,325
- [man] Come on!
- [umpire] Game, Nadal.
594
00:34:37,992 --> 00:34:39,285
[Maymó] Rafa, in 2012,
595
00:34:39,368 --> 00:34:41,746
is on an upward trend.
596
00:34:43,247 --> 00:34:44,582
[commentator] It's a Rafa special!
597
00:34:45,166 --> 00:34:47,293
[umpire] Game, Nadal!
598
00:34:47,376 --> 00:34:48,961
[crowd cheering]
599
00:34:49,045 --> 00:34:52,131
I had just won at Monte-Carlo,
Barcelona, Rome…
600
00:34:54,008 --> 00:34:56,886
And that's when I started
to feel pain in my knee.
601
00:35:01,557 --> 00:35:04,143
But, at that moment, I wanted to play.
602
00:35:04,227 --> 00:35:06,813
I was feeling good, I wanted to play.
I wanted to win.
603
00:35:10,108 --> 00:35:12,401
With my knee in really bad shape…
604
00:35:12,944 --> 00:35:14,570
[cheering erupts]
605
00:35:14,654 --> 00:35:16,114
…I won Roland-Garros.
606
00:35:16,614 --> 00:35:18,616
[emotional music playing]
607
00:35:19,492 --> 00:35:21,911
[Rafa] So I thought,
I'm gonna be number 1 again.
608
00:35:21,994 --> 00:35:23,955
[announcer] Rafael Nadal!
609
00:35:28,376 --> 00:35:30,503
[Rafa] My knee, in my opinion,
610
00:35:30,586 --> 00:35:32,588
was limiting me quite a bit.
611
00:35:33,506 --> 00:35:35,133
But, I've always felt that,
612
00:35:35,216 --> 00:35:37,051
if my mind is willing,
613
00:35:38,636 --> 00:35:39,679
my body can do it.
614
00:35:46,018 --> 00:35:47,186
[crowd] Whoa!
615
00:35:48,896 --> 00:35:50,356
[dispiriting music playing]
616
00:36:08,416 --> 00:36:10,209
[Rafa] My knee was shattered.
617
00:36:12,879 --> 00:36:16,132
The tendon, basically, had a hole in it.
618
00:36:18,009 --> 00:36:19,051
[music stops]
619
00:36:21,762 --> 00:36:24,807
[reporter 1] Rafa Nadal has withdrawn
from the Olympic Games and the US Open,
620
00:36:24,891 --> 00:36:26,767
where he was a finalist last year.
621
00:36:26,851 --> 00:36:28,519

623
00:36:31,814 --> 00:36:34,358
[Ruiz-Cotorro]
Those injuries that have been appearing…
624
00:36:34,859 --> 00:36:36,777
{\an8}are not a coincidence.
625
00:36:37,904 --> 00:36:41,032
They are a consequence of a large,
underlying problem.
626
00:36:43,034 --> 00:36:46,829
[Rafa] The fact that I had to play
with an insole throughout my career,
627
00:36:47,955 --> 00:36:50,333
threw the rest of my body outta whack.
628
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:53,044
[soft adverse music playing]
629
00:36:54,629 --> 00:36:56,714
[Ruiz-Cotorro] From the knee to the foot,
630
00:36:57,590 --> 00:36:58,716
it's a chain.
631
00:37:01,469 --> 00:37:04,222
So we make some changes to the foot,
632
00:37:04,305 --> 00:37:08,184
and those changes
have an impact on the entire chain.
633
00:37:13,439 --> 00:37:17,443
[Maymó] This was an injury that
was not like when you have a fracture,
634
00:37:17,526 --> 00:37:21,197
where you sort of know the time frame
for returning to competition.
635
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:25,993
[Maymó] Does it hurt?
636
00:37:27,161 --> 00:37:28,412
Okay. Easy then.
637
00:37:28,496 --> 00:37:30,581
[reporter 2] Rafael Nadal
will not be participating
638
00:37:30,665 --> 00:37:31,624
in the Australian Open.
639
00:37:31,707 --> 00:37:35,253
[reporter 1] Novak Djokovic
has won his fourth title in Melbourne,
640
00:37:35,336 --> 00:37:37,255
his third in a row.
641
00:37:37,755 --> 00:37:41,842
Djokovic has made it clear
once again who is number 1.
642
00:37:46,555 --> 00:37:48,766
[Ángel]
After so many months without playing,
643
00:37:48,849 --> 00:37:51,852
there were many people saying,
"Rafa Nadal is finished."
644
00:37:51,936 --> 00:37:53,980
"He's pushed his body to the limit."
645
00:37:54,063 --> 00:37:56,315
"Rafa Nadal will never be the same again."
646
00:37:56,899 --> 00:38:00,069
Rafa Nadal, you've been
out of competition for 102 days.
647
00:38:00,152 --> 00:38:02,321
During all this time, over three months,
648
00:38:02,405 --> 00:38:05,116
have you ever thought that it was the end?
649
00:38:10,871 --> 00:38:13,124
[commentator]
Rafa Nadal's left knee recovery
650
00:38:13,207 --> 00:38:15,167
is not going as quickly as expected.
651
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:19,297
That's why Nadal might be thinking
of not playing the full Indian Wells,
652
00:38:19,380 --> 00:38:21,799
where he reached the semifinals last year.
653
00:38:21,882 --> 00:38:25,303
[Rafa] The knee hurts either way,
if I'm playing and if I'm not.
654
00:38:26,095 --> 00:38:28,431
So I'd rather keep on playing.
655
00:38:29,765 --> 00:38:31,100
I went to New York…
656
00:38:31,976 --> 00:38:34,895
to see a specialist.
657
00:38:35,730 --> 00:38:37,606
[suspenseful music playing]
658
00:38:38,441 --> 00:38:39,483
I asked the doctor,
659
00:38:39,567 --> 00:38:42,445
"Do you think I can play at Indian Wells,
on hard court? "
660
00:38:43,612 --> 00:38:44,530
He said, "No."
661
00:38:45,906 --> 00:38:49,118
"I don't think you should play.
I don't think you can play."
662
00:38:50,453 --> 00:38:52,830
The doctor told us that it was really bad,
663
00:38:52,913 --> 00:38:55,666
that there was a risk
of irreparable damage.
664
00:38:59,462 --> 00:39:01,255
He told us to stop.
665
00:39:05,926 --> 00:39:07,636
[Rafa] We had a team meeting…
666
00:39:09,597 --> 00:39:11,640
and I decided to go to Indian Wells.
667
00:39:12,224 --> 00:39:14,602
I did. I said,
"I'm going to Indian Wells."
668
00:39:16,020 --> 00:39:18,022
[soft hopeful music playing]
669
00:39:21,525 --> 00:39:24,570
[Rafa] I hadn't set foot
on a hard court in eight months.
670
00:39:25,821 --> 00:39:29,492
And I asked them to put anesthesia
in my knee so I could play.
671
00:39:30,493 --> 00:39:32,328
Otherwise, I couldn't move.
672
00:39:34,747 --> 00:39:36,207
[commentator] That's the shot!
673
00:39:36,290 --> 00:39:38,292
I was playing well, kept playing well.
674
00:39:41,045 --> 00:39:42,963
And I ended up winning the tournament.
675
00:39:43,047 --> 00:39:47,259
[commentator] A record-breaking
22nd ATP Masters 1000!
676
00:39:47,343 --> 00:39:51,097
[Rafa] And, here,
a new season opens up for me.
677
00:39:52,014 --> 00:39:52,932
Just like that.
678
00:39:55,559 --> 00:39:59,814
2013 comes along and he suddenly
starts winning absolutely everything.
679
00:39:59,897 --> 00:40:03,109
[commentator 1] His return
to form has been fantastic.
680
00:40:03,609 --> 00:40:06,362
[commentator 2]
Rafael Nadal is a champion in Barcelona
681
00:40:06,445 --> 00:40:09,281
for an incredible eighth time.
682
00:40:10,366 --> 00:40:12,535
[Rafa] I feel awful,
my knee is hurting a lot,
683
00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:14,829
but it's not the right time to…
684
00:40:17,248 --> 00:40:18,082
to stop.
685
00:40:18,165 --> 00:40:20,084
[crowd cheering]
686
00:40:21,460 --> 00:40:23,921
[Maribel] It's not just the pain
when you play,
687
00:40:24,004 --> 00:40:25,506
but it's also
688
00:40:26,215 --> 00:40:28,384
in your daily life,
like going down the stairs.
689
00:40:29,718 --> 00:40:31,720
[music fades]
690
00:40:32,638 --> 00:40:34,557
I was very worried.
691
00:40:37,143 --> 00:40:41,230
You see someone suffering
and you don't know how to help them.
692
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,817
Of course, in the end,
it makes your heart sink.
693
00:40:46,277 --> 00:40:47,862
[unsettling music playing]
694
00:40:49,071 --> 00:40:51,866
[Rafa] I'm taking a lot
of anti-inflammatories to play.
695
00:40:52,575 --> 00:40:54,368
Voltaren at night…
696
00:40:55,578 --> 00:40:59,957
and an intramuscular Voltaren injection
before every match.
697
00:41:00,708 --> 00:41:02,710
[applause]
698
00:41:05,379 --> 00:41:10,134
[commentator 1] Seventh final
in the seventh event since his return
699
00:41:10,217 --> 00:41:11,635
for the great Spaniard.
700
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:21,312
It became tough to deal
with the pain he suffered every day.
701
00:41:22,813 --> 00:41:26,025
And to see him take
so many anti-inflammatories
702
00:41:26,108 --> 00:41:29,945
that could be harmful to his health.
703
00:41:30,654 --> 00:41:31,489
[line] Out!
704
00:41:31,572 --> 00:41:34,867
[commentator 2]
Nadal is the maestro in Madrid
705
00:41:34,950 --> 00:41:36,785
for a third time!
706
00:41:37,286 --> 00:41:38,996
I want to thank my whole team.
707
00:41:39,079 --> 00:41:40,080
Without you all,
708
00:41:40,164 --> 00:41:42,666
it would be impossible
to be here again today.
709
00:41:43,959 --> 00:41:45,753
[Maymó] We clashed at times
710
00:41:45,836 --> 00:41:49,215
because I thought he was taking too many,
711
00:41:49,798 --> 00:41:52,218
or that at certain times
it wasn't necessary.
712
00:41:59,058 --> 00:42:01,852
[Rafa] Maymó was against all of it.
713
00:42:02,978 --> 00:42:04,647
Every time I asked about medicine…
714
00:42:07,942 --> 00:42:09,944
I had to make my own decisions.
715
00:42:11,487 --> 00:42:12,905
[Maymó] There came a time when Rafa
716
00:42:12,988 --> 00:42:15,658
started carrying
his own anti-inflammatories.
717
00:42:16,158 --> 00:42:18,035
He got to the point of taking them…
718
00:42:18,744 --> 00:42:20,454
not because he was in pain,
719
00:42:20,996 --> 00:42:23,374
but to prevent the pain from coming again.
720
00:42:23,457 --> 00:42:26,252
[commentator]
His seventh victory here in Rome!
721
00:42:26,335 --> 00:42:29,505
His numbers improve
with each passing victory.
722
00:42:30,589 --> 00:42:32,007
[Rafa] I said, "Okay, whatever."
723
00:42:32,091 --> 00:42:35,928
"I have my medicine and I'll take it
when I think I need to take it."
724
00:42:43,185 --> 00:42:45,980
[announcer] …Rafael Nadal!
725
00:42:47,147 --> 00:42:48,857
[Maribel] Sometimes, winning
726
00:42:50,150 --> 00:42:53,112
gives you a perception of reality
727
00:42:54,113 --> 00:42:55,573
that is not real.
728
00:42:57,741 --> 00:42:59,451
Because your health
729
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:04,123
is much more important than any success.
730
00:43:04,873 --> 00:43:07,960
[commentator 1] Rafael Nadal
is your champion in Canada!
731
00:43:08,961 --> 00:43:13,048
[commentator 2]
Rafael Nadal wins in Cincinnati!
732
00:43:14,341 --> 00:43:18,929
In fact, I have two small perforations
in my intestines.
733
00:43:19,013 --> 00:43:22,933
Small perforations caused
by so many anti-inflammatories.
734
00:43:24,643 --> 00:43:26,312
{\an8}Gentlemen, just a second.
735
00:43:31,025 --> 00:43:33,277
{\an8}- [interviewer] Do you have cramps?
- [Rafa winces]
736
00:43:38,198 --> 00:43:39,617
[commentator] The US Open final.
737
00:43:39,700 --> 00:43:43,537
World number 1, Novak Djokovic
against number 2, Rafael Nadal.
738
00:43:43,621 --> 00:43:46,415
[commentator 2]
And the match that will determine
739
00:43:46,498 --> 00:43:49,418
the number 1 ranking for the year
is this one.
740
00:43:50,669 --> 00:43:54,089
[Rafa] In my career,
I've had to make decisions about my health
741
00:43:54,173 --> 00:43:57,760
where I was on the verge
of what was right or wrong.
742
00:44:03,599 --> 00:44:06,602
This is where I'm telling you
that it's a thin line.
743
00:44:07,603 --> 00:44:11,023
[commentator 2] We are finally
at match point for the championship.
744
00:44:12,191 --> 00:44:14,985
[Rafa] But I think that,
if I hadn't explored,
745
00:44:15,903 --> 00:44:18,989
I might have ten less Grand Slams.
746
00:44:20,991 --> 00:44:24,578
I'm not saying one or two,
I'm saying ten or twelve.
747
00:44:25,162 --> 00:44:26,830
That's the truth.
748
00:44:27,456 --> 00:44:29,458
[music builds]
749
00:44:30,542 --> 00:44:35,339
[commentator] Rafa Nadal has won
the US Open for a second time!
750
00:44:35,422 --> 00:44:37,424
[emotional music playing]
751
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,929
[reporter] Rafa Nadal
is the best in the world again.
752
00:44:42,012 --> 00:44:44,598
He has managed to dethrone Novak Djokovic.
753
00:44:44,682 --> 00:44:47,393
[reporter 2]
A position he hadn't held since 2011.
754
00:44:47,476 --> 00:44:50,062
Rafa Nadal, number 1 in the world.
755
00:44:57,778 --> 00:44:59,738
{\an8}[Moyá] He's a competitor…
756
00:45:00,781 --> 00:45:02,366
{\an8}An addict to competition.
757
00:45:02,866 --> 00:45:04,118
{\an8}That's not easy. [laughs]
758
00:45:07,371 --> 00:45:12,042
Ladies and gentlemen,
your US Open champion, Rafael Nadal.
759
00:45:12,126 --> 00:45:14,378
[Moyá] That adrenaline
that you have on the court,
760
00:45:14,461 --> 00:45:16,547
that feeling you have
when you are competing
761
00:45:16,630 --> 00:45:20,467
in front of 20,000 people
in the crowd supporting you…
762
00:45:20,968 --> 00:45:23,762
[crowd chanting] Rafa! Rafa!
763
00:45:23,846 --> 00:45:25,097
[Moyá] It's an addiction.
764
00:45:25,931 --> 00:45:29,727
- [rapturous cheering]
- [emotional music continues]
765
00:45:49,496 --> 00:45:51,123
[music fades]
766
00:45:51,206 --> 00:45:52,416
[Rafa] I can feel it a little.
767
00:45:52,499 --> 00:45:55,085
I can feel the whole thing
is a little more swollen.
768
00:45:55,169 --> 00:45:56,211
[Ruiz-Cotorro] Let me see.
769
00:45:57,171 --> 00:45:58,213
Bend it.
770
00:45:59,465 --> 00:46:00,924
Over here. Move it.
771
00:46:05,679 --> 00:46:08,390
[Rafa] I think it's around here.
Up and down, around this area.
772
00:46:08,474 --> 00:46:10,267
[man] Okay. And it's deep, right?
773
00:46:10,768 --> 00:46:14,313
[Rafa] I have a question.
There's nothing we can do about it, right?
774
00:46:14,396 --> 00:46:17,232
- Well, we have to do what we're doing.
- Okay, perfect.
775
00:46:17,816 --> 00:46:19,401
That pain… I'm not worried about it.
776
00:46:22,654 --> 00:46:25,073
[ominous music playing]
777
00:46:26,074 --> 00:46:28,619
[journalist]
I just wondered, Rafa, how hard it is
778
00:46:28,702 --> 00:46:31,497
kind of managing your body
in these matches,
779
00:46:31,580 --> 00:46:33,540
knowing that you need to think about,
780
00:46:33,624 --> 00:46:36,835
or making sure
that you're not hurting yourself.
781
00:46:38,420 --> 00:46:41,215
[Rafa] I have some, some issues.
782
00:46:42,049 --> 00:46:44,718
But that's it.
I just accept the situation.
783
00:46:44,802 --> 00:46:46,595
[resolute music playing]
784
00:46:46,678 --> 00:46:48,555
[Rafa] There arrives a moment today
785
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:51,809
that I need to try to play at my 100%.
786
00:46:53,602 --> 00:46:56,605
I have Roland-Garros
in two weeks and a half.
787
00:46:56,688 --> 00:46:58,857
I need to push my body to the limit.
788
00:46:58,941 --> 00:47:01,944
And if something happens,
something happens.
789
00:47:03,445 --> 00:47:05,447
[action music playing]
790
00:47:05,531 --> 00:47:08,200
[commentator 1] Second round action
continues here in Rome.
791
00:47:08,700 --> 00:47:10,828
It is the number 7 seed, Hubert Hurkacz,
792
00:47:10,911 --> 00:47:12,663
up against Rafa Nadal.
793
00:47:12,746 --> 00:47:15,332
- Who's your favorite?
- [commentator 2] I think Nadal.
794
00:47:15,833 --> 00:47:17,960
[commentator 3]
Rafa and Stanislas Wawrinka
795
00:47:18,043 --> 00:47:19,628
make their way onto Rod Laver Arena.
796
00:47:19,711 --> 00:47:23,215
Gosh! You look at recent history,
you look at head-to-heads,
797
00:47:23,298 --> 00:47:25,259
it all favors the world number 1.
798
00:47:25,342 --> 00:47:26,552
[commentator 1] A packed house.
799
00:47:26,635 --> 00:47:30,639
Eager to see how Rafa Nadal
will get on in his latest test.
800
00:47:32,391 --> 00:47:34,184
[Rafa] 2014 begins.
801
00:47:34,268 --> 00:47:35,686
I was number 1.
802
00:47:36,228 --> 00:47:38,438
And I was willing to, well…
803
00:47:39,022 --> 00:47:41,900
go to the limit of my possibilities.
804
00:47:47,906 --> 00:47:49,658
[commentator 2] Rafa in full control.
805
00:47:53,579 --> 00:47:54,872
Oh, what a start!
806
00:47:57,416 --> 00:48:00,294
[commentator 1] He's going all out today,
from what we're seeing so far.
807
00:48:08,135 --> 00:48:09,636
[Rafa] And all of a sudden…
808
00:48:10,345 --> 00:48:11,346
Boom.
809
00:48:12,014 --> 00:48:14,808
I felt pain in my back.
810
00:48:16,018 --> 00:48:18,020
And I felt that I couldn't.
811
00:48:18,562 --> 00:48:19,396
I couldn't.
812
00:48:21,231 --> 00:48:22,316
I just couldn't.
813
00:48:23,358 --> 00:48:25,360
[ethereal suspenseful music playing]
814
00:48:28,822 --> 00:48:31,283
[commentator] Oof! Risky business!
815
00:48:32,743 --> 00:48:36,914
His foot is bothering him.
Did you see that? Couldn't even move.
816
00:48:41,627 --> 00:48:43,462
[commentator]
He's looking up at Uncle Toni.
817
00:48:43,962 --> 00:48:46,423
It's not a look of
"I've got this figured out."
818
00:48:46,506 --> 00:48:48,634
It's a look of genuine concern.
819
00:48:55,682 --> 00:48:57,559
[commentator 2]
They'll put him on the ground.
820
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:03,607
If it's the back,
he would have taken some painkillers.
821
00:49:04,441 --> 00:49:05,442
He's done.
822
00:49:07,235 --> 00:49:09,029
[Maymó] Injuries, the stress,
823
00:49:10,489 --> 00:49:13,492
always pushing your body
and mind to the limit…
824
00:49:15,118 --> 00:49:19,373
Then came the moment
when all that started to bring…
825
00:49:19,957 --> 00:49:21,416
consequences.
826
00:49:24,586 --> 00:49:26,380
Come, Rafael, come on!
827
00:49:26,463 --> 00:49:29,383
Come on, reset! Go!
Let's start again, go! Come on!
828
00:49:29,967 --> 00:49:31,051
Believe it, man!
829
00:49:33,971 --> 00:49:35,597
[commentator] A little clumsy from Nadal.
830
00:49:39,017 --> 00:49:41,645
[commentator 2]
That's a couple that Nadal's missed.
831
00:49:41,728 --> 00:49:44,731
[commentator 3] This is the look of a man
who might not see the finish line
832
00:49:44,815 --> 00:49:46,233
the way he wanted to.
833
00:49:49,069 --> 00:49:50,070
[crowd exclaims]
834
00:49:50,153 --> 00:49:51,321
[applause]
835
00:49:51,405 --> 00:49:54,491
[commentator]
It is indeed victory for Hubie Hurkacz
836
00:49:54,574 --> 00:49:57,536
as Rafa says goodbye to Rome.
837
00:49:59,830 --> 00:50:00,914
[applause fades]
838
00:50:04,001 --> 00:50:06,670
[PA system alert]
839
00:50:06,753 --> 00:50:09,631
[voice on PA] Attention, players,
this is a match call.
840
00:50:10,215 --> 00:50:13,969
Please go to the meeting point
to be escorted to your court.
841
00:50:14,469 --> 00:50:16,513
[Moyá] Don't make any decisions now, okay.
842
00:50:17,764 --> 00:50:18,932
Whatever you want to do,
843
00:50:19,016 --> 00:50:21,351
there'll be time in a few days to…
844
00:50:21,893 --> 00:50:23,645
to do whatever it is, okay?
845
00:50:28,942 --> 00:50:30,944
[somber music playing]
846
00:50:35,032 --> 00:50:38,785
[Rafa] I've been fighting
against my body for many years.
847
00:50:41,580 --> 00:50:43,957
Always with the highest demand.
848
00:50:46,376 --> 00:50:50,839
And this is mentally draining.
It's truly exhausting.
849
00:50:52,924 --> 00:50:56,428
And there comes a time
when it all collapses.
850
00:51:01,141 --> 00:51:05,020
- [indistinct chatter]
- [ball hitting racket]
851
00:51:07,105 --> 00:51:09,357
You guys don't know, truly, huh?
852
00:51:10,859 --> 00:51:13,528
Now with my… Honestly, man.
853
00:51:14,237 --> 00:51:16,031
I am incredibly exhausted.
854
00:51:16,615 --> 00:51:18,909
It's a constant, man.
855
00:51:19,576 --> 00:51:23,205
I'm the most punctured player
in the history of our sport.
856
00:51:27,375 --> 00:51:29,294
[Moyá] I know it's hard,
but we keep going.
857
00:51:30,462 --> 00:51:31,671
There's no option.
858
00:51:32,672 --> 00:51:35,217
You can also go like this.
859
00:51:37,552 --> 00:51:40,013
You put a little nail up here…
860
00:51:40,097 --> 00:51:41,348
[Moyá] I don't agree.
861
00:51:42,891 --> 00:51:43,725
And it's over.
862
00:51:44,851 --> 00:51:46,186
The little nail can wait.
863
00:51:50,982 --> 00:51:52,984
[somber music continues]
864
00:52:06,998 --> 00:52:09,042
[Rafa] I mean, what tennis gives me…
865
00:52:10,752 --> 00:52:12,963
I mean, what it gives me today,
866
00:52:13,046 --> 00:52:16,091
it takes away much more than it gives me.
867
00:52:17,801 --> 00:52:19,636
- [María] Well, right now.
- You know?
868
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:24,057
I mean, in terms of personal fulfillment,
869
00:52:24,141 --> 00:52:25,642
fun, suffering…
870
00:52:25,725 --> 00:52:30,355
Right now, it takes away
much more than it gives me.
871
00:52:32,899 --> 00:52:34,776
[María] Another life is waiting for you.
872
00:52:45,287 --> 00:52:46,663
[music fades]
873
00:52:48,165 --> 00:52:50,167
[serene music playing]
874
00:54:20,799 --> 00:54:22,801
[dynamic serene music playing]
875
00:57:14,222 --> 00:57:16,224
[music fades]
