those guys have redefined meaning of winners and unforced errors...I swear I lost count of how many times they tricked me to think they surely hit a winner (just to see other guy not merely return nearly impossible shot but to turn it into counterstrike like it was nothing)

Also because it's on clay which is my favourite surface cause you get long interesting rallies.

ATP TOUR ACADEMY it also seems like the fastest surface for the players so they can reach the ball or maybe that’s just me

@@therockdwarfmockdwarf1476 It's fast for the players movements for sure, but not for the ball. Ball trajectories are faster on hard court

For sure

Federer Djoko 2011 was good too ;)

Erwan Lrfve Gamewise i think Nole-Roger was better in terms of quality, but this one is so physical. Running everywhere, insane

zakaria djouzi Thats your opinion and thats fine. I also believe this match is the best RG match of all time, but imo, this match is more like two gladiators. Physical, sweat, drama, run, etc. While Fed/Nole 2011 was more of precise hitting and power strokes. So imo, Nole/Fed 2011 was better in terms of hitting quality, where Rafa/Nole 2013 was more of a physical, endurance match

This match was superior to Federer vs Djokovic not only because It's a 5 setters, but also because of the shot making. Rafa hits many special forehands that you can include in any top Shot list. The level in the 5th set was absolutely unreal with 20+ winners from Rafa . For me top 3 clay matches of all time: 3) Nadal vs Coria Rome 2005 2) Nadal vs Federer Rome 2006 1) This one

haha

Bcoz of covid19 i spent time watching the past RG match

they will also be uploading the full match this week.

Hahahaha you're right this how it works in France in every discipline the highlights will not last more than 2min look at the highlights of the Champions league in RMC

Have you another joke?

Good One.

Best single shot? As the other commentator also said after the point it was a total miss-hit from Nadal. It was the luckiest shot of the entire match .. "It's in" "Total miss-hit, and it goes in the court, unbelievable"

Commentators get the feed slightly ahead of the televised audience, this is why. He didn't predict anything.

Yeah

Complete mishit, the forehand literally next point is the best shot of the match, unreal counterpunch

I agree.if lost,it would be added to similar style loss of 2012 aus open final .it would be really painful.

I'm a Nadal fan because he's from my country and made me fall in love with playing tennis on clay but I have the utmost respect for Djokovic.

Expected a repeat of this match. Unfortunately......

Djokovic GOAT

It was definitely not the best all-time match, but it was still a great match and one of the most significant. Nadal was going into that match with a 105-2 record and had only lost once when he was in good form up to that point(2009 to Soderling). In 2015, Nadal was a shadow of himself, so I don't put much weight on that loss. Most people, myself included, saw Nadal getting #21 a foregone conclusion; especially after what we saw in RG 20 final. To add to that, Djokovic was 1-7 vs Nadal at the French and the head to head was about even. Coming back vs the King of Clay in his house after starting the match down 0-5 was a very great effort. The third set was one of the best sets, featuring multiple breaks, both fighting off break points and set points, capped by a tiebreaker. This match, along with Wimby 19, may be looked at for a long time as being the deciding factors as to who will end the best of the open era; especially when you consider that the French is the only slam which Nadal has the advantage in vs Novak at the moment. Seeing the king of clay crumble in that final set was one of the greatest things to happen in tennis. It finally gave the Spaniard an understanding as to how Federer felt when he lost in his haven in that 2008 Wimbledon final.

@@jacobschmidt2709 why is him 'crumbling' at the FO 'one of the greatest things to ever happen in tennis'. Unnecessary hyperbole. 🙄 Btw even his coach said that he picked up a foot injury in the match. Nadal never lets a set go at the FO like that. Fourth set was ample evidence of that. He'll come back. Lol Frauderer lost in his prime at almost 27 to a very young Nadal. Comparing that to a 35 y.o who has come off injuries 🤣. Btw, how's the bagel tasting? 😜

And I don't think most people notice Nadal's playing with a slight limp on his bandaged leg ... to last a 5-set match and win it with such a handicap against Novak is just mind boggling ...

Maybe the toughest is hard cuz u got less time to react

"The toughest surface". It's more grindy and physical, not "tougher". One could just as well say hard courts are tougher because they're less forgiving of errors in shot selection or strategical ball placement. In the end, there's no 'tougher' surface, they each present their own set of difficulties and advantages, only someone's who's overly eager to gain argument points for his favorite player would try to claim a surface as "tougher" when it's obviously completely dumb.

@@robinsoncruise2228 Truth. The reaction time is less. You don't have ages to think and pummel your shots like clay

It is the least tennistic surface. More about athleticism and less about twnnis stroke excellence with exception of spin impact.

It is top 10 matches of all time dude it is exactly rated

Probably fedtards trying to find excuses why he's losing so often against Nadal

Rafa was defensive and a moonballer during the first part of his career. He eventually learned to play more aggressively and won Wimbledon(albeit mono Fed) and some hardcourt slams. But even after, he would put on moonballer and defensive performancesevery now and then. It was only after the hiring of Moya that he finally shed himself from the moonball label.

@@jacobschmidt2709 Don’t talk like you know anything about Nadal matches bro. You just go around hating on him. He was never a “moonballer”, he hits much harder on average than Djokovic and Federer. And defensive players don’t do well in pro tennis. That’s just a fact. Nadal is one of the greatest players of all time if not the greatest, you can’t accomplish this without being able to create offense. Also Federer didn’t have mono during 2008 Wimbledon; he said he had gotten over it by Indian Wells, a good 5 months before Wimbledon. The Australian Open was the only tournament it affected him in, and during the sunshine double he was rusty. That’s it. Give Nadal his credit; you can’t just get lucky and “moonball” your way to 20 grand slams. I’d argue he’s more offensively gifted than Djokovic to be honest. Did you watch the French Open final last year? Djokovic tried to hit through Nadal and hit 52 unforced errors; Nadal hit through Djokovic with ease.

This characterization remains and is applicable to first years of Nadal, at this stage he had closed the distance and worked rrally hard to put more tennis in his game which before was very reliant on athletisicm. The characterization was very true about prior years and mostly in comparison to the tennistically great Federer. So in their finals of years bwfore it applied. Nadal whi is very hard worker put more tebnis to his game and so dtarted to be more successful gradually on other surfaces as well.

@@SJ-di5zu you are probably not analysing the comparisons they make, and have not watched live the games played 2005-2009.
