In 2003, the boy from Mallorca reached the third round of Wimbledon on his debut and faced the No.12 seed Paradorn Srichapan.

Hi
♾️🔥
😢😢
omg baby nadal is so nervous his hands are shaking :,)
Thanks for posting this for the tennis nerds.
Srichapan had a bomb serve!! 😱
He was not yet busy with his hairs' fixing habit when prepping for service (only with the underwear issue which never changed in 23 years 😂)
Who could believe, on this day of 2003, that this young guy with tons of things to improve in his game will finally become one of the greatest of all tennis History ?
Incredible.
„We‘ll see a lot of him over the years“ – oh yes.
Not His first,His third full Match, this is a third aound Match 🙄
Nadal and Ančić didnt play their 1st round match on the court covered with cameras ?
Crazy .
We want 2015 Final full match please Wimbledon ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Watching Rafa rush the net is interesting.
This Nadal guy seems okay. Feels like he might win a slam or two
How wierd is it to see such a bad tennis from nadal it just shows what a way and unforgettable he is
Wimbledon 2003 was where it all started. A Mallorcan boy played his first grand slam match and 2 weeks later a youngster from Basel won his first grand slam title.
Thank you for sharing the vid!!! This is GOLD my friends!
the grunt was already there!!! 🤣🤣
How come Rafa only started playing at the FRench Open in 2005 and not the two previous years?
Incredible match! 😊
His game was very different. His strokes and his preparation. He changed a lot in his career
I remember being here at this match when I was in Year 8 , my favourite player of all time is Paradorn so little did I know his opponent would be one of the greatest of all time to do it 🙂 He may be the king of clay but his biggest moment will always be his first Wimbledon against Federer 😀
1:55:49 That was his 11th of his 378,595 Forehand Winners! Vamos Forever!
สุดยอด นี่คือเกมแรกที่ผมรู้จักนาดาลเลย ดูถ่ายสดผ่านทางทีวีไทยยุคนั้น ไม่น่าเชื่อว่าทางวิมเบิลดันจะเอาเกมนี้มาลงให้ดูอย่างเป็นทางการในยุคนี้อีกครั้ง
is anyone else annoyed by the breathing into the mic from the commentators in between points?? 🤣
Only 3 years after this he will play his first Wimbledon final.
Only 5 years after this he will win his first Wimbledon title.
15 years after this he will play a iconic Wimbledon SF against Djokovic.
16 years after this he will play a iconic Wimbledon SF against Federer.
19 years after this he will play his last Wimbledon match beating Fritz in a 5th set TB.
Hats off to Rafa.
Nadal without his serving ritual….
Got me as a surprise. I thought he always did the ritual
What would be Alcaraz age at that time ?😂😂
How fitting is it that Nadal’s Wimbledon debut was also Federer’s first Wimbledon victory?
Horrible his drive here😮
Then he hadnt almost nothing and now his assets are worth hundreds of millions😮
Disfrutando este match de la leyenda Rafa Nadal
It's Srichaphan, not Srichapan and i feel he kinda showed the blueprint there on how to beat Nadal, would have given an older Nadal a lot of troubles as well.
나 상병때 나달은 발리고 있었구먼..ㅋㅋㅋ
was Atreyu!
Weird to see this version of Rafa's forehand
We cannot compare anymore with Rafa but since Alcaraz is also from Spain,
I personally feel Alcaraz to be more strong in almost all aspects ( other than being consistent ) than rafa at his age
6:06 Picking wedgies and crushing backhands since 2003 🎉
This is amazing. Rafa looks so young!
