Nadal vs Wawrinka Fourth Round Clash | Miami 2009 Highlights

Crazy how much wawrinkas forehand improved later in his career

From this match you can see how Stan has improved among the years to become a 3 time GS Champion: I mean, the backhand was always the same rocket,but the forehand.... in 2009 was in a Benoit Paire level! Impressive the improvement done with this shot: between 2014 and 2017, Wawrinka was an elite player: he's not been n1 only because the 2010 decade was full of monsters

It's crazy & sad how time runs so fast 💔😢nadal here was 22 yrs & now he's almost 36 yrs. I remember the first time he wore this outfit in IW like if it was yesterday but it's been 13 years 💔

Nadal on Hard before 2015 = Incredible ! He outclassed Djokovic in one of his best years in the 2013 USO final

Really enjoyed these highlights! Look how young they were, time surely flies

There's something special about Nadal and Federer when they step on court. It's like their uniqueness radiates from their whole being. Especially in their respective primes, they seemed to belong from a different plane.

It's unreal/scary how explosive young Rafa was....

STAN !!! We miss you !! He will play Marbella challenger ..and Roger !! please come back soon ..please please RF♥♥♥

Commentator at start of the video: "Nadal better be careful of that ONE HANDED BACKHAND" Tennis Gods watching the commentator, the match and NADAL's whole future: "lol"

Nadal from 2005 to 2010 is the scariest tennis player ever. Federer fan here

Great content! We need more old highlights in this quality (1080p 50fps).

That play from Nadal at 6:10-6:11 was amazing.

8:15 and 9:50.. the definition of using speedforce by Flash

Excellent match, high level!

damn! young Nadal's moving was like dancing

But still, Nadal choked the match against Del Potro in the third set,such a shame after winning the AO against Federer

“Hit to his backhand” Nadal’s backhand: 7:41

Now I want Rafa vs Delpo same year Miami :)

Wawrinka was not working seriously for many reasons until years later. And then he was good form 3,4 years and then 1,2 serious injuries. Unfortunately for some reason, possibly because once coming back he would face new injury every time (maybe due to incomplete work in rehabilitation or conditioning which requires very hard and serious long repetitive work ) he did not come back to form although played a few very good games in some tournaments to show he still could get back but it would require very much work which at that stage not everyone considers a good deal to make.

7:45 i love this backhand winner with late grunt
