    This match gives me goosebumps. So stressful. He was injured and had lost last year to Djokovic..best match of RG ..so much stress and such an adoring crowd..Look at how the Parisian crowd booed him when he was 17yrs and now he is their favourite son..We will never see anyone else like Nadal again in tennis..thankyou for the memories

After the match in 2021, he took a break, missed a slam, and played 2 more matches, one of which he lost, and took the rest of the year out and ended up in crutches. Same in 2023, injured at AO, misses the entire season. Meanwhile, Djoko is "severely injured", wins AO, and comes back to the tour 2 weeks later in Dubai. Who sounds more injured to you?

    Nadal is the GOAT for me. It’s incredible that he only has 2 fewer GS titles than Novak when you look at their injury records. Nadal has missed/pulled out of so many slams he could realistically have won 30 by now bar injuries. He is also unquestionably the most dominant player on a single surface that there has ever and likely will ever be 🐐

If Rafa didn't have Mueller Weiss he'd have won atleast 3-4 more slams and more weeks at #1 and ATP finals. Djokovic did benefit the most when his rivals fell off but they are all the same level as even he'd say.

      Novak v Fed was very even across all 3 surfaces, 27/23 with many matches being decided by just one point sometime, being difference between winner and loser. Notable age difference there but both amazing peaks and had long runs of dominance. I reckon they deserve to be in that conversation too pretty right rivalry there with many many close matches up until the very end, Fed amazing staying up there with Novak til the end even at 38 beating him in straight sets. And Novak just such a high level, mental giant and getting thru some big ones... Amazing rivalry with some of the most iconic moments and to me about as right as it got, from start to finish, almost anywhere they played.

Everything was against Rafa and despite his statement the ball felt like a stone in the sinner match he didn't use topspin and hit flat and hard. yet even though the roof was closed in the final due to rain he blasted Djokovic off the court with pace and plenty of spin. I don't how he did it. It just showed he is the greatest at Roland garros but he wouldn't have been able to do this in 2012. His game was far more aggressive and attacking in 2020. 2022 was even more incredible. Yes it was warmer but still played at night for the 2nd time vs Djokovic and he played with one foot and pain killing injections and still won. Will remember both wins forever. He had plenty of chances in 2021 but the change from day to night caught him off guard. Still, Im glad he won one more after his statue went up at Roland garros.

    A confident and free flowing Nadal takes the ball more on the rise and changes direction more frequently even on fast and deep balls. And because he has the spin based game which is high percentage play, his shots will remain in play and end up being deep. As Koenig says, the down the line forehand is the barometer of Rafa's confidence. I could be wrong but many times I have felt that Rafa was nervous out of respect and fear for Novak which is rightly deserved but it ended up making him too conservative against Novak and he doesnt take the ball more on the rise on hard courts as he used to in 2013 which produced stellar results. Novak on the other hand is fantastic at taking the ball on the rise and especially against Rafa because already his balls have height and clearing the net on the rise is less risky compared to facing any other player and can give a flatter and deeper shot. I guess we cannot have everything in one player. Perhaps if Rafa had let himself be a lot more carefree and just go for it as Roger started in 2017, he could have had even better results on hard courts.
