During the trophy ceremony, Rafael Nadal said he found a new coach as he looked for the fan who yelled out at him during the second set.
“I found a new coach today, too. I think he is travelling with me to Australia tonight. I’m sure next time I’m gonna win against Novak with him.”
Watch and enjoy!

OMG! You guys don’t want to hear the truth right?
Novak is not that good for crying out loud. Even Berdych could pull him to tie break and steal a game from him.
But the point is Novak has studied Rafa’s game so many times that he found a way to counter topspin balls. He loves them that’s all.
A 34-year old Federer or a 31-year old Wawrinka can defeat Djokovic on a right day. Believe it!
So sad that Rafans keep praising Novak and don’t want to face the truth that Rafa can’t defeat him anymore.
I beleive it was best thing happen to rafa that he played this match and got defeated in such manner
And got 1 st time in carrer got a comment from crowd which angered him
Rafa raises his level in grandslams
Cant waitc ao
Yes novak was unbeatable today even if rafa have 10 coaches
But he will be definitely get beaten by rafa in grandslams matches certainly
With just little adjustmet
It can be seen on rafa face and his eyes
Dear Rafa we are very proud of you….on the court and of the court…..you are an example for many…..luv u
RAFA FANS: We just watched the match online in its entirety. You know, Rafa did not play bad at all. Novak was in such a zone and he was seeing the tennis ball like a bowling ball. He could not miss during this match. But contrary to all the comments about Rafa never winning against Novak again—I don’t believe. In fact, I know he will win against Novak again. Maybe more than just once. Rafa has his fighting spirit back. Believe me I know, I have watched him and have been a fan of his since 2005 and BELIEVE ME he has his fighting spirit and confidence back. He lost that match tonight, but believe me he took many great tidbits of knowledge from it. I finally believe after watching this match, that Rafa feels he can beat Novak. I really mean this folks. I feel it!!! And what a good feeling it is. I don’t care what any of you say, Rafa can and will defeat Novak and not just one more time, it will be more than a one time thing. RAFA DID NOT PLAY BADLY DURING THIS MATCH, but as I said Novak was really in a zone. I have alot of hope and confidence in Rafa. God bless you and please remain healthy Rafa. Love, Marylynn
Well said Marylynn!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) VAMOS DEAR RAFA !!!!!!!!!!!!: ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : )
I watched a little bit of the match on youtube and it was painful. so embarrassing. How could Rafa even smile? He played like crap, like somebody that just started learning tennis. my god what has happened to him.
Yes it is hard to play at thia level for novak every time but that doesnt mean he cant produce that level every time
But if rafa and novak will play ao 16 final
Rafa juat cant say that he played at high level bit rafa himself have to raise his level to that point
Rafa just watch the pattern u played in 2 nd set 5 -1 on ur serve 1st point
U need to change direction every single at good angles
Let novak run some bit
Serves really need to work for rafa in such Matches
Vamos Rafa! What an amazing person you are. Our Champ I’m sure is feeling the effects of defeat however he appreciates the crowd and his fans! Good luck for the season!
RAFA, WE LOVE YOU.
THERE IS ENOUGH LOVE AND RESPECT FOR YOU HERE ON THIS SITE TO KEEP PUSHING YOU FORWARD.
RAFA FAN FOREVER.
Rafa besides to be a great Champion has the best sense of humor after to lose a bad match, others players should learn more from them when they lose enstead to act like a clown….well said Rafa!
I meant ‘instead’:-)
My goodness, I should type slowly lol, I meant “learn from him”
EVERYTHING you do, Rafa, is absolutely the best!!! We love and support you, win or lose, because you’re a great person, unique in every way, respecting ALL your opponents and never failing to do your best. I am sure you will find a way to beat Novak. VAMOS, RAFA!!!! NUESTRO CAMPEON NUMERO UNO!!!!
Win or lose ,Rafa is still the draw of the tournament ,,,,he’s the one who sells the tickets ,,,,Novak might win the tennis matches at the moment ,,,,but who wins the popularity contest ? Rafa every time ,,,and Novak would love to be as popular as Rafa is all over the world,,,,,,,but it ain’t ever going to happen ,,,,,
Georgina Johnson: it is tennis contest not popularity contest. you can be a jerk and a great tennis player.
Yes and if you are a jerk and a great tennis player I will never cheer you on and feel joy and the thrill of your skill because not being a jerk is the minimum for my support. Personal choice.
Sosa:…you are right , Novak is only a great tennis player ! !
Georgina Johnson :…I agree with you completely ! !..Besides being a great tennis champ, He is a great person, ,Novak will never be anywhere near the person that Rafa is ! !
I agree totally Elizabeth Howard!!! Seeing that beautiful smile just lights up your day!!!
Rafa, win or lose today, we love you very much!!!! Season 2015 hasn’t passed yet so quickly of course, but we know you do your best to play harder,better and classy! Rafa, first of all, please, don’t let today’s loss get you down emotionally and psycologically. No matter what, Rafa, please believe in yourself because you are champion and we, your fans, and your family and your team, and many many many others believe in you!!! Today’s loss doesn’t say anything! You are strong, Rafa! You are true champion, Rafa! You are number one, Rafa! You are a great tennis player, who fights till the end and win!!!!!! Love you,Rafa!!!!! All your fans love you!!! Kazakhstan loves you!!!! Vamos!!!!!
Love you always Rafa.. I am not a tennis fan, but never miss any of your match. I am sure you will win against Djokovic in Australia. Keep up the spirit.!!
What we really should be asking Nadal now is when is he going to settle down with Maria Perello, marry, have kids and just enjoy life. Life is more than tennis afterall.
He is the only one out of the top 4 (?) who is still unmarried.
Please dear champion Rafa, marry off Maria and go on to enjoy a blissful life ever after.
We cant stand the humiliation of Djokovic’s continuous destruction of your legend.
Como vc é otario … Nadal tem que continuar treinando que logo fara vc chorar novamente quanto seu jogador perde.
With all due respect, I don’t think Rafa needs your advise on how to live a blissful, satisfying life. If Rafa can put himself out there and try to against any opponent win or lose,then I can more than endure cheering him on as long as he picks up a tennis racket.
He is more than capable of charting his own life course and if it causes you too much distress bow out gracefully from observing his matches.
For me I am honoured to cheer him on always. Every match he has my unconditional support, admiration and often awe of his skill and of his character.
Vamos Rafa! There is No One like you Ever.
I actually fell for that!!! LOL
But seriously, a new coach is what you need Rafa. I know that you ‘ve worked so hard to try to find a way against Novak but that is not enough. You may go on the wrong direction and a new professional could help you fix that.
I have posted 2 comments and they did not appear. What have I said wrong
mine also was deleted.
Sosa I referred to Novak as being arrogant maybe that is why I was not posted

Delightful and fun after defeat, showing his grace and dignity once again. He has it all, looks, presence, charm, fun, dignity, just FABULOUS Rafael
I believe Rafa can beat the Djoker on 5 set! Let´s go to Auss VAMOS RAFA
with you there Zindy
On what is this belief based. Was there ANY positive sign in the last 9 beatdowns?
J Beer: they are trying to comfort themselves. a psychological defense mechanism.
Zindy, you almost gave me a heart attack there!
Please, let’s always say the truth at all times even if it will hurt our loved ones.
Goodness me, Rafa to win Novak in 5 sets. What are we going to hear next,: Sloane Stephens to defeat Djokovic in 5 sets?!
