15:36 The moment that could have changed the entire match.  Fortunately Rafa didn't notice.

Nadal is arguably the best teenager of tennis

I had a dream that I was playing against Nadal in the final of Roland-Garros. The score was 6-0 6-0 6-0 and the match lasted 20 something minutes!

People have no idea how scary Rafa was on clay at this point in his career.  Rafa in 2022 is still dominating Roland Garros even with his drastic decline in speed.  That's just how good he is on clay.  2008 Rafa with his same shot making arsenal on clay combined with his godlike defence was unstoppable.  There's only so much an attacking player like Federer could do here when he can't hit winners against Rafa and when he is being thrown on the defensive the whole time by Rafa's forehand.

2008 Nadal dominating Federer, 2020 Nadal dominating Djokovic. Insane..

This Rafa is unbeatable on clay.

I have been watching tennis since I was a kid. I've watched Wimbledon while in London, on TV. I've also watched the French Open, as a kid, while living in Grenoble. This is, easily, the biggest whopping of one of the greatest of all time by another of the greatest of all time.

Even if Federer had shown up with his best game he would've lost.

This nadal vs borg 1978 rg would have been a dream match

At French Open 2020 Nadal was also very dominating!

Everything that Nadal touched that day seemed to turn to gold.  They even showed a replay of one of his few unforced errors in the first set, because I think he only made 3 in that set!

12 years later Novak suffered the same fate. Rafa's Roland Garros record 100-2.

la plus grosse HUMILIATION de federer en finale d un grand schlem   trop bonne regalade )))) petite apres midi d entrainement avec un sparrint pr RAFA  VAMMMMOOOOSSSSSSS

8:04 identical to the wimbledon passing shot the same year in one month from that moment

Who’s where after Djokovic had the same fate ?

Nadal destroyed Federer here more overwhelmingly than he did Djokovic a few weeks ago in the 2020 final.

That was Brutal!! Nadal is a beast on clay.

I think this might have been the first time Federer ever stepped on court against Nadal without believing he could win. After 2005 a lot of us thought the gap between them would close, instead it just got wider and wider. In 2006 and 2007 I think Federer could still dream of maybe beating Nadal in Paris if everything fell in his favour, but 2008 destroyed that idea. Tough for us Federer fans to admit that, especially as we all knew that Nadal was going to get him at Wimbledon - which he sure enough did straight after this.

what a lesson..Madre de Dios

Rafa was simply unstoppable here... What a player.

Fed almost made a break in the first Nadal game, but then he dropped his mentality.
