Rafa showing what happens when he's in form, unlike the previous year when he was hindered by injury. Both players are the greatest of all time and hopefully we get another RG showdown this year.

I will miss them a lot dude.. I mean A LOOOT. Two irreplaceable legends

This tennis match was like holding my breathe for the entire time. I was scared, nervous, apprehensive and excited to see this rivalry show itself, once more. We all know what Nadal can do on clay, but especially on Court Philippe Chartrier. To see him, now in 2024, struggling and not half of what we all know he is, is difficult. We are here for you, Rafa, through the good times and the hard times.

I was there! The best match I have ever witnessed. Absolument incroyable

My name is also Rafael, and being one of the greatest admirer of Rafa. I must say that The Definition of Classic Player in Tennis of last 25 years is Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. I came in this world for 16 years and watching his game for last 12 years . Just blessed to be born this era.

A fit Rafa, even at 40, still can beat anyone on clay. I’ll miss this incredible man and player. Love you legend 🙏🏼

Just Rafa showing Rafael things

FINALLY The highlights of one of my favorite matches of Nadal in Roland Garros All Novak fans says that Novak is tie with Rafa on clay in 2021 They doesn’t admites that Nadal was injured in 2021 and that’s the only reason Novak could win This match proves it, the king of clay never fall twice At his 80% beat Novak in Roland Garros One of the most epic matches of Rafa, this match shut up the mouth of all Novak fans Thank you Roland Garros ❤️

omg thank you roland garros I’ve been waiting for this long highlights

It's unbelievable that this was only two years ago...very sad that we will never see these two amazing legends battling again at this level of their physical and professional peaks again. Thank you both for all the memories.

I hope to see them play at Roland Garros this year, whenever these two meet, you will experience peak Tennis, the greatest rivalry in history

🐐 nadal nobody gave him chance all websites and experts were against him but still won this match and tournament too

Is'nt that a treat to watch? Two of the biggest giants battling it out....with extreme firepower and a lot of heart. Better match than many a grand slam final.

regardless if u hate rafa or novak these 2 dudes are amazing.

Ce niveau de jeu 🤯 c'était ça la véritable finale en 2022

I am a fan of Djokovic, but I have never thought that he and Nadal have reached the same strength on clay, not even for a millimeter. I still think Nadal's strength on clay is on a different level. That is why I like Djokovic to challenge Nadal, who is unmatched on clay, and I am happy when Djokovic wins, and I am impressed with Nadal when Djokovic loses. The only thing I think about Djokovic on clay is that he is the only active player who has a chance to beat Nadal in all of French tennis. But I still think Nadal is much better than Djokovic at the French Open and I respect him a lot.

Magnifique!!

Merci pour ces rétros ! Si vous en avez des années 2000-2015 n'hésitez pas !!

Rafa hasn't been the same since this tournament

👏💯 "La Fiera Anda Suelta"

Truly legend

this was only 2 years ago. and they considered it classic match. shows how much GOATness this match had 😂

7:30 What a shot by Djokovic 🤯

Great match. Not the best in terms of quality, but given Rafa's difficulties just before and Novak's recovery, it was a very dramatic match and tournament.

the greatest rivarly in the history of tennis, maybe even the sport

j'y étais ! match incroyable entre ces deux légendes du tennis, profitons de leurs derniers Rolands, on espère que rafa sera au moins présent porte d'Auteuil dans quelques semaines...

In their last match Rafa HUMILIATED Djokovic. That was mighty sweet.

The first point here is hilarious, Nadal just throwing all kinds of stuff at Djoker, width, height, pace changes like crazy and eventually getting the error

As a Nadal fan, i think Djokovic is the 2nd best clay courter ever in history, whom without Nadal could have won double digit RG titles.

Is there a possibility to upload the full matches between Rafa and Thiem 2019 and 2018??

22:29 This is the high tension moment that made Nadal won. attacking forehand by Nadal that is not perfect and allows Djokovic to do a superb return. But Nadal manages to do a running extended backhand volley to finally win the point.

This match was one of the most important in Nadal's career this was the time when pundits are saying Djokovic have figured him out in Roland Garros and this match was an opportunity to disprove it.

This was the last great battle between the 2. Reminds me of Rafa and Roger in 2017 at Wimbledon.

I'm still waiting for the 2009 vs Soderling

What a level from players at 35 and 36 years old

Djokovic is the reason I started watching tennis

why isn't the nadal vs ruud rg 2022 final match on your channel?

The stress of being a Nadal fan and never, ever feeling confident against Djokovic. Even at 6-1 in that last tiebreak, and he wins three points in a row to bring it to 6-4 and you're like "please don't do this".

Keep rolling 🇩🇪 ninja warrior keep rolling!!! Vamos warrior & Cheers to the rising sun!!! 🐐🇩🇪🥷🎾🎾 Grade: A+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

High Quality Grandslam men's matches to me in the era I grown up: Aus Open: Nadal vs Djokovic 2012 final French Open: Djokovic vs Nadal 2021 SF Wimbledon: Federer vs Nadal 2008 Final US Open: Sampras vs Agassi QF 2001

One thing in tennis that is nearly impossible to argue is that there will never again be a player who moves as well as Nadal on clay. While there are a couple of very good clay specialists in tennis right now, Nadal's amazing ability to move around so effortlessly on what is arguably the most challenging surface in tennis is something that we will never see again. He might have the most deserving nickname ever given to any athlete, and this match, as well as the final, where he completely dissected Casper Ruud, show that without a doubt, when he is fit enough to compete, tennis' 'King of the Clay' is a player that has no equal on his most successful surface.

Guys I think this will be the last match at that level we will see of the incredible era of the big three

how fitting that Roger won his last match against Rafa on his favorite surface, and Rafa won what will likely be his last match against Novak on his favorite surface.

I would have loved to see nadal vs kuerten at the French open

I guarantee 100% & confidence 🇪🇸 GOATdal (Nadal) the Beast will lift up the Trophy 🏆 2024 🇫🇷 French open champion for the record 50th time in history & 100th major champion is still coming soon in advance 💪!!! Mark my word and Vamos Rafa!!! Perfection and Cheers to the Spanish Bull!!! 🇪🇸🏆🐐🎾🎾

The best ever 🐐❤️🇷🇸

An absolutely punishing performance from Rafa. And hats off to Novak, who is always a tough-as-nails opponent.

The third set of their 2021 semi and the second set of this match will live long in memory.

It’s a strange coincidence that both matches lasted 4 hours 10 minutes, and Rafa lost with a BH miss in 2021 but won with a BH winner in 2022

25 % of GS are on grass, 25 % on clay and 50 % on hard court. And Nadal faced Novak more times on clay (RG) than on all other 3 (or 75% of GS) combined 😂

Rafa proving when he’s on his game in clay that no one can beat him. Everyone before this match was saying Nole would smoke him and he had no chance, and then he goes out and destroyed Novak like he was 2013. He proved that 2021 was a fluke and that he was injured, I watched both and Rafas movement here was much better then in 2021

The only man who ever beat prime Nadal at Roland Garros is Robin Soderling

🇪🇸🐐

Le CM sait ce qu'il fait. Rafa 🐐

No matter what, Nadal will always be my goat

Imagine if nadal keep continuing sliding in hardcourt since 2014 against djokovic what will happen

Rafa showing who’s the GOAT when he plays pain-free Fun fact: He was injured during this match too, but he numbed his left foot (just like wimbledon 2008). So basically this man won Grandslams on one foot, the GOAT.

Rafa nicely mixed up his backhand in this match .... Especially the backhand down the lines from Rafa made the difference.... If not for some errors in the second set, it would have been straight sets

Vamos FEDAL!!! Keep supporting 🇪🇸 GOATdal (Nadal) & 🇨🇭GOATderer (Federer) & legend forever!!! Cheers!!! 👑💪🐐🎾🎾

Nada on serious form….

you watch the first game and ask yourself are they even human?!

Their last match together

Novak planned to play Nadal, 2023, and got muscle up in biceps and chest for extra force. But Nadal injured didn't show up Novak was actually catching up with Nadal on clay, but he didn't receive plaudits

the level of play of nadal between 2022 and today is so much different. He's much faster in 2022. amazing how just 2 years of aging does to an athlete in their late 30s

This year only proofs that when Novak is injured he is unable to beat Rafa… luckily 2015 and 2021 he wasn’t injured that’s why he beat Nadal 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

le goat des statistiques Djoko, c'est pris une véritable * raclé, c'est plus Nole, c'est Tole

FEDAL 💎 Forever!!! 🎾🎾🎾

Rafa was average leading up to this huge QF and boy did he turn it up by ten thousand notches from here to get revenge over last year's defeat against Novak and proceeded to hold off an inspired Zverev (who unfortunately suffered that ankle injury) and Ruud to somehow win his 14th and potentially final ever RG.

Has anybody noticed the surface looks slower than normal.

Crowd were like Nadal 80 - 20 Djoko..

Come on Rolandgarros Make Nadal vs Djokovic in R1😂

🇪🇸 GOATdal (Nadal) & 🇨🇭GOATderer (Federer) golden era of tennis & legend forever!!! Cheers!!! 👑💪🐐🎾🎾

🇪🇸 Rafael Nadal: 🏆🏆🥇

이럴수가. 나달 살아있네?

Djokovic was not his, usual, effusive self at the handshake....

Love or hate them. If you are a tennis fan, you have to feel honoured to say we have watched these 3 greats of tennis. Honestly, dont think we will see the like again. What amazing matchez we have witnessed, and funnily enough, its 90% matches that rafa is the opponent. That nadal forehand up the line is devastating as it is beautiful. No 1 has managed to deal with it.

I am a Rafa fan, but i don’t like that RG, he literally numbed his foot with chemicals to be able to play because otherwise the pain would be too important to play. Even if legally it’s not doping, it actually kind of is right? I mean doping is gaining a physical advantage by injecting something in your body. Which is actually exactly that. Without it, he would have never even made it to the thirds round (he said himself during the press interview). So i don’t know, he is still the absolute goat of clay but i feel like that season wasn’t a fair fight

Where is Rafael Nadal seeding number? Is it his fault he was out of the tour for so long? Is this how you treat a living legend that has won 14! Roland-Garros?

Nadal-clay Djokovic-hard and grass 🙂

What would happen if Nole wins 4th set as he was up a break

Nadal this year wasn't even 30% of this guy. The level of tennis, the tactical superiority, those baseline strokes, nothing.

The Greatest Sport of all time: 🐐💎 🎾1) Federer/Nadal. ⚽️2) Team Germany. 🥊3) Conor Mcgregor. ⛳️4) Tiger/Rory. 🥋5) Bruce Lee. 🏊‍♀️6) Michael Phelps. 👑7) Donald J Trump. 🤼‍♂️8) Undertaker/Sting. 🏀9) John Cena. 🏓10) Elvis Presley.

Nole is better, ask Rafa!. See all statistic.

Djokovic has no chance against a good Rafa on clay.

Rafa campeón absoluto de tierra batida
