When "Exhibition" Turns Into War! (Federer vs. Nadal) | Tennis Most Insane Match

These two have blessed the sport of tennis for decades. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have given us some of the most memorable nights in sports history. In today's video, we're taking a look at something a little different. What would happen when these two legends face off in an exhibition? In 2006, Federer and Nadal faced off in an exhibition match in South Korea. That year, Federer had won 3 out of the 4 Grand Slams, where his only loss came to Rafa at the French Open. So it's safe to say that both were at their absolute prime level. Now without spoiling anything, feel free to hit the like button and subscribe to my channel for more original tennis content. Thank you so much for watching and without further ado, let's get started. Federer has a lot of leeway. 2-2. If you look at the speed at which the ball goes from the side, Nadal's ball goes a little weak. It's in. Ah, he threw his body, but he's got some leeway. Yes, he's taking it. He's taking it. Ah, it's in. It's in. He's taking it. The ball is completely falling behind his body. It's in. Ah, it's in. Yes, look at the power of that shot. Yes, it's a three-pointer. If you don't have enough power, you can't hit it like that. Yes. Yes, they're talking to each other and playing the game in a very fun way. It's a three-pointer. It's in. Service. 4-0. Ah, it was well managed. Now, back. Again. Yes, it's in. 4-15. It's the world's greatest attack. Yes. Again. 4-15. Today, you can enjoy tennis skills. Yes. Ah, it was a good reverse cross. Game Nadal. It's a game Nadal. 3 to 2! Rafael and Nadal... Look at the forehand. It's 3 to 3. Kang's serve came in. He's giving just enough to make a deal. Jump and... Oh, it's out. It was long. 15-0! The preliminary game I mentioned earlier is really outstanding. It's a great rally. The rally is getting longer. Oh, it's out. He brought it. Now it's the same one by one. That's right. Chance ball to Nadal. Oh, here... Deuce again. He can't finish. It's a chance ball. It's out. Nadal breaks it like this. 5 to 3! The ball goes in alive. Nadal... Down the line. You have to hit the down the line. Short. It's in! Nadal... Great play! He's taken the hard part here. The serve came in. It's long. That's right. The game is Nadal's. 6 to 3. Nadal is... Backhand! Nice return. 15-0! 15. Deuce again. He's become a great player. Good. Long. It falls right on the baseline. It's long. Love 15. When you hit a ball that comes out of your left hand with a backhand... 13-15. Sorry. Great ground stroke. It's in. 13-15. The audience is applauding. Great play. You have to have power. Cross. It's in. 14-15. Nice throw. 14-13. Topspin. It's in. It's in again. 14-15. That was a chance. The best player in the free play court, Rafael Nadal. It's in. 15-0. He's witty. Last year... Was it this year? At the US Open. Tiger Woods... In Shanghai this year, Nadal played... Was it Katrina? When the hurricane was severe. It's out. So cute. US Open... Five! Reinsman's voice is loud. It's in. He's witty. A cheap shot like this... Even if you receive it... It's a cheap shot that goes to the side. Even if you receive it... It's a good serve. It's out. With the game pad... With the break, it's 5-3. If you get a game break, it's difficult. It's difficult. It's out. Federer pushes with speed. Sometimes... His eyes are sharp. Like eagle eyes. When you look at the opponent's eyes... A lot of players get tired. Go to the music... It's out. Federer. In the end... The big match of the Dream Match is... Roger Federer, the world's No. 1... In Korea's Jamsil Ball... He defeats Nadal. This is how it ends. Like this... Two players... The big match of the century... Can you show it? And we were able to have a great view. We've been able to see it on TV. On the field... Federer's powerful serve. After the game is over... He's smiling brightly. Go to Wimbledon. Go to the French Open. It's really... It's hard. He played tennis that has improved. From now on... The player Federer should be careful of... Nadal... Thank you very much... For coming to see us play here in Korea. We had a great time. We enjoyed it very much. This is for us officially the end of the season. So we're very happy to have finished it here. We had a great time. So thanks for your support. And maybe see you sometime. Thank you. Say hello, hi, all Korean fans. Hello, everybody. Same like Roger. I'm very happy to be here. I want to say thanks very much everybody for coming. For us it was a very nice day. For the last match of the season. So thanks very much. I heard you're a good viber and so good friends. Are you agree? We're good friends. Yeah, two. Both. What do you think about each other? I think he's a good guy. Good tennis player. Yeah, my number one rival on the tour. But we get along very well. He's very up and coming. I think he's fantastic for tennis. And this is our first exhibition together or against each other. So anyway, from my side I enjoyed it very much. And maybe we can do it again sometime. Yeah, well, we have a relation. He's the number one, I'm the number two. And sometimes it's not easy that. But for us it's well. In the match, in the court we are rivals. But outside we are normal person, good friends. So he's doing a very good job for the tennis. Because he's a very natural person. So that's very good for the sport. Show me the big smile. How is it? Can you show us a big smile? Try again. A big smile. Big smile. Another.
