Shapova had to win second set. It's fact he had on other side of court not really good Nadal at all.
May be they just doesn't want beat Nadal in really important tournaments?

They just are worse players than Nadal and never will be like he.

They need to wait when Nadal will get injury or become really old (2024?))).

Who are "they"?

Who are "they"?

future Top 4: Tsitsipas, Medvedev, Shapovalov and Zverev.

Not to be a dick as I understand English isn't everyone's first language, but what??????

Make no mistake. Two masters wins and a match that cost Nadal the ATP Finals trophy.

You make it sound like Tsitsipas and Shapovalov beat him in Abu Dhabi and Zverev completed the job playing the Hurlingham exhibition.

Shapovalov forgot how to beat Nadal. Or maybe just afraid of him?

Malvin manages to be both entertaining and a troll, which is quite an impressive combination.

As usual Shapo showed impressive shotmaking but not nearly consistent enough to overcome a solid Nadal. Will be very interesting to see how Nadal does in 2020 as he gets older and the younger generation gets stronger.

Rafa wasn't even playing well at London, and Tsitstipas still couldn't stop that match from going about 3 hours on the eve of the SF!
Tsitsipas didn't even see a break point on Rafa's serve!
The future does not look bright for NextGen, if Tsitsipas is the best they have....
And Medvedev has never even won a 5-setter.
NextGen are getting stronger, but looks impossible for them to win a slam in 2020.

It's almost impossible to beat Nadal on a high bouncing surface for a right hander without a solid BH which is 80-90% of the men's circuit.
Southpaws like Verdasco shouldve beaten him more often but they choke so he gets away with it.

 

[leng jai]

No one outside of big Novak and the great man fluking backhands every 2 seconds can beat him when it counts.

 

[Spinn69]

Tsitsi, Medvedev, Shappo, zverev will have success next year.
VS nd and Fed

Vs Rafael another thing, he is a lefty

And Left-handers have even more trouble with Rafa.
Rafa vs. Left-handers = .872
Rafa vs. Right-handers = .828

this thread is incomprehensible but somehow I agree with the premise 100%, well done.

Twitter post conveniently forgot Nick Kyrgios 4-3. He is in the NextGen (1995-1999).
Might have been 3-4 if RAFA and the umpire had let Nick serve in less than 20 seconds at 2019 Wimbledon..very salty match.

Respectfully,
masterclass

^ But the title of the tweet says <24, so Kyrgios is too old.
