DelPo (still good but back then he did not have that forehand) and Berdych, that run is special

If I'm not mistaken, that was his nephew 😂

While I am in awe of their accomplishments, I feel not enough people talk about this aspect of Novak's and Rafa's game. Their 6 hour match in 2012 AO might've been compressed to 4.5 hours if it wasn't for the excessive ball bouncing. Also, I think the extra recovery time this gives them has allowed them to chase down balls throughout their careers others may feel reluctant to, if they keep in mind they have just 30 seconds to get the next point going.

Players don't, I think

@Jek Pacito I can back you on that. It makes it so much more better in every way. But unfortunately with the way things are evolving were more likely to see it being a a best of 3 Fast4 with a 10 point tiebreak.

@Jek Pacito The problem is that a 4/5 hour final could be very tiring. Big players for sure would vote against

@Jek Pacito still tho if theres a best of 5 in the final depending on how you perform most likely youd barely be able to play tommorow. So either the schedule changes (for example madrid and rome were week after week, imagine playing five sets sunday to be back on court in a different city playing another match monday)

As great of an idea it is as far as entertainment and giving the title to the more deserving player, best of 5 Masters finals are exhausting and would likely result in the big 3 skipping tournaments or jeopardizing their chances at a bigger title by playing a marathon Masters final. What if Nadal and Djokovic played a 5 hour final at Rome and were both tired for the French Open? Not to mention all of the matches before the final are played without a day of rest, which would make the Masters tournaments grueling. There’s pros and cons, but I think the ATP schedule is already too crowded and making finals best of 5 would just serve to make it more crowded and discourage the best players from playing more.

😂

I want to say that was his nephew, you know how kids don't get context 😂

Nothing wrong bro... He likes rafa... Nothing wrong in expressing your love that way to his most favourite player...

@@vijayendranvijay4538 that's his nephew

@@legoatjames5723 Rafa has no nephews! He’s got one sister and she doesn’t have any children even now, let alone in 2009

I think there’s a solid chance for tsitsipas to win if nadal doesn’t, but I could see medvedev rublev or sinner winning under the right circumstances

I feel like Dimitrov win on Djokovic in 2013 should have been there, considering how thirlling was this match

If we speak what could have been there - just as a bonus - for me it would be Gilles Simon's atomic forehand. Just as a bonus at the end of the video :)

they all were

@@robinsoncruise2228 wow.

@@undergroundkid8337 yeah pretty crazy stuff

all masters tournaments were played bo5 in finals.

@@plushkaplushov115 oh yea just the finals

Blue clay was just regular clay with a blue dye. It's not more inherently slippery than red because it's the same clay. They just messed up the ratio of sand to gravel when laying the surface down making it more slippery than normal. Quoted from the tournament owner, Ion Tiriac.

destroying ? 6-0,6-0 ?come on thats the period beween 15-16 ,infact ndal lost to more players in clay....

not really that unforgettable

Because it wasn't Nadal, but the shadow of him.

Did you even read what was written? It said big 3 not world 1,2 and 3.

@@sayansingha8474 yeah misread that! Thanks for the reply 👍🏻 Still great achievement from both! :)

Defeating Zverev, Schwartzman and Thiem is no achievement at all.

the tournament used to be a 5 setter, but in 2006 they changed to a best of 3 sets

@@pauloceolin thank you. And was it same at other Masters tournaments?

@@TheBlbounek yes
