To add some context, before 2012 clay season, Nadal lost 7 consecutive finals to Djokovic: Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome, Wimbledon, US Open in 2011 and Australian Open 2012.
Imagine coming back from such beatdown! Rafa is a mentality monster! He even went on to win their next 4 slam meetings in 12RG,13RG,13USO, and 14RG
Hahhaha ...sore looser
@@dubnation2379 😂😂😂 3RG mentality monster for that?
@@dubnation2379 winning french open is easy for him
@@anseinueseima408 winning Roland Garros is not easy for anyone, including Rafa. It takes an immense effort. Just like it does for Djoko to win Aus Open and Federer to win Wimbledon
Nadal's scariest stat for me is 14 out of 14 final wins at Roland-Garros and none of these finals went to a 5th set!!
Just shows how dominant he was in a final. Absolutely incredible stat. Only Novak comes close in his 10 AO wins and one of his wins went to a 5 th set
@@z1az285Not one of...
@@md.abdussamad1532 Ok, two. My mistake
@@z1az285Novak has 11 AO wins in my book. Only the deportation could have prevented that.
@@jacobschmidt2709 Maybe, maybe not because the dunlop tennis balls played much faster for some reason in 2022. Yes, I would partially agree in the sense the odds of novak winning were 60-40 in 2022 (Nadal said he was the favourite before the tournament started) compared to 90-10 in 2023 because the Dunlop tennis balls played much slower (as they usually do). Even then it wasn't easy for Rafa to win, but had the same tennis balls played anything like 2023 Medvedev or Djokovic would have beaten him. Rafa has lower chances in night conditions with slower tennis balls. In 2020 he had a tight match with thiem but couldn't execute when it mattered. Again slower tennis balls that became even slower at night. but in 2022 his chances were higher and while still a minor miracle of sorts, he seized his opportunities unlike 2012 or 2017
No One will ever be like him at Ronald Garos again. I think the court should be named after Rafael Nadal.
Totally agree
Alcaraz….
@@moretuscapital3377
Alcarez this kid is just overhypeted
Nadal's first victory over Djokovic in a Grand Slam final after losing 3 Grand Slam finals to him
he beat him in 2010 USO Final
@@TheKaipeters99 Sorry, I meant 3 consecutive Grand Slam finals
@@ahmedisa3723 OK CONSOLATION GRANDED 😂😂
Djokovic choked at the end.
@@pedromorales167 but still he was down 2-1 so he had to play another set i che didn’t “choke”
What an era that was (2003-2022). Roger. Rafa. Novak.
Still is, Novak won 10 slams in last 5 years and he is world nr1
@@juancarlosjuancarlos4629 goat of weakest era novax 😂
@@juancarlosjuancarlos4629 yeah, but Nadal leads 11-7 in GS h2h over Djokovic! 😅
@@mysticnomad89 With Alcaraz, Medvedev, Nadal, Federer, Murray, Wawrinka, that's the weakest era? You must be referring to 2001-2007 Roger's victories against Hewitt, Safin and Roddick, you know, the all-time greats of tennis. 😂😂
The greatest era of tennis. The three greatest players of all time at their peak. The world will never witness such again.
After repeated losses at the hands of Djokovic during those days this win was that much sweeter for Rafa and his team.
He won all the clay season that year against nole
as an old school fan of the handful of really dominant players from the 70s, 80s and 90s, one of the reasons why I enjoy watching matches between the Novaks, Rogers, Rafas and Murrays, is because they all play and compete like GLADIATORS...the gesturing and wide open-mouth yells, fist pumps and arm waving is like what you would see in a Roman coliseum, with one warrior pitted against another one. And these guys embrace the drama and "theater' of it all. And if it does nothing else, it sure does create an atmosphere that keeps you on the edge of your seat. People so often forget that tennis just like any other popular sport, is entertainment, before anything else...because the crowd is PAYING to be excited and captivated.
Never seen a better highlights in my life
😂
They say Alcaraz vs Sinner 🤦🏾♂️
As a Nadal fan, quite satisfying to see Djokovic lose a Grand Slam final to a double fault 😂
A quick reminder: Nadal did not lose a set until he reached the finals in 2012 Roland Garros, and on top of that, he did not even break a serve.
King of clay 🔥🔥🔥
Va Goat
Y de todos los tiempos....ni federer ni ese fantasmon de nole le llegan a la suela de los zapatos...
Peak Nole no match for Rafa on clay
What are you talking about? Nadal had lost 7 finals vs Nole before this😂including clay tournaments like Rome and Madrid 🤦🏾♂️
@@ThisIsHarun without winning a set...in 2011 Federer prevented Novak-Nadal final, in 2012 Novak was on 8-0 run when the rain interrupted the match, in 2013, Novak beat himself when at 4-3 in the 5th set and a won point he touched the net, in 2014 he was 1-0 and played a close 2nd set, in 2015 he beat Nadal 3-0, in 2020 he was easily beaten by Nadal, in 2021 he beat Nadal 3-1, and in 2022 he wasted 2 set points for 2-2. So, a decade of quite close matches, out of which several could have gone either way. Novak was the only true rival of Nadal at RG, where Nadal's dominance has been unprecedented.
2011 Roland Garros semi final is what actually made history
ThIs was Rafa’s biggest victory and true fans will understand. I would go as far as to say it revitalised and saved his career. You can see it from Uncle Toni’s reaction.
Novak did well but clay is Nadal's strength.
I think he would have beaten nadal in rg2011 if played him
Yea but he threw away the match with an absurd double fault
@@chitrangadasingh9020 no
@Jackie I'm a nadal fan but he had a big problem against Djokovic in 2011 that took him a while to figure out and I believe that there was a big chance Nadal would have lost the french open in 2011 if they played in that final
@@patcisz3474 nope.

The black Rain 🌧️ was a Black Chance for Djocovic 😊
Novak was very consistent from 2011. 2012 was a spectacular year, he won AO, was stopped by Rafa in RG, stopped by Roger in WImby and stopped by Andy in US but got up again at AO 2013.
2012, all four won a slam.
💙go rafa go bring that once more
jokovich lost in the most humiliating way possible
In french open final 2012 and 2014 nole always end match by a double fault 😢
24 22 😢😢😢😢😢😢 nadal finished can't handle his body 😅😢😅😢 boo hoo
Make an extendend Highlights video for djokovic vs nadal 2021 RG
those extended highlights already exist
Why not R.G 2022, quarters? 😂
@@max7even284 I don't think the og commenter was being a salty djokovic fan
@@max7even284 beacausse it was one of the best matches ever...highest level of tennis,like this one...here Rafa won,2021 Novak won,but thats not the point...im a die hard Nole fan,but i like those long hard matches...like with Wawrinka,when Nole lost...only Fedal fans hs that kind of frustration,we dont
After losing 3 slam finals in a row to nole, this victory was just what rafa needed to get his form and confidence back on track.
NADAL in 2012 was a monter before Wimbledon. On clay he beat Djokovic in Monte Carlo, Rome and RG and Djokovic was playing amazing too
He didn't win Wimbledon and he lost 3 successive slams to Novak
@@SnezanaDowner From RG 2012 to RG 2014 Rafa went 4-0 vs Novak at Slams.
@@mainemceachern1521 and yet Novak beaten him there twice whereas nadal never beaten Novak in aus
@@mainemceachern1521 11 years without a loss on a hard court v nadal
@@SnezanaDowner Cool
GOAT
Can we have the full match, one of the craziest win of nadal over djoko in a final and sweet revange from the final in ao the same year
Dull took 4k points that clay season defeating Djokovic in the finals of Monte Carlo, Rome and Paris. In 2011 Djokovic clean out Dull in Madrid and Rome
Bro,
If anything it's your life that is dull most probably!
🙂
lol
not just the greatest clay player but THE greatest tennis player of all time
Nope
A huge Nope
When you ignore the stats and continue your fantasy world of delusion
@@kakashihatake1029 who cares about to head to head in 250’s and Masters. Look at the head to head between them in grand slams
I agree 200%
Djokovic played such a great match (tons of winners) but Nadal managed to get through
Nadal, the GOAT.
It can be... in Spain?
only in spain or clay court
Nadal made lot of history here so this is not big deal , CONGRATULATION NADAL . I KNOW YOU WON IT WITH EXTRA EFFORT ANYONE ELSE COULD EASILY GIVE UP BEFORE THE STAMINA OF DJOKOVIC. YOU ARE REAL KING .
Novaks the true king of tennis
If the match didn't delay by rain i think this match will end in 5 set
No
@dubnation well most likely yes
"If"... doesn't exist
@@kakashihatake1029 Djokovic lost 2 sets so he will lose in 4 sets
You're right, it would have ended in three sets in favor of Nadal.
too strong this guy ! i must admit it ! he is the greatest tennis player on clay ever. i sincerely doubt that anyone can beat his record one day ! never ! 14 roland garros so far ! 2024
Rain backfired on Novak, he was playing better after winning the third set, he had a break in the fourth and nadal was a bit out of focus... the rain changed all since nadal came back fresh again... bit unfortunate event for novak
This is when the tide turned again and nadal started beating him again
The most monumental is 2013
7 Roland Garros titles must seem like peanuts to 2023 Rafael Nadal.
Championship point with a double fault? Wow
And people say Djokovic is mentally toughest tennis player lol
But there will be only ONE GOAT for all time: DJOKER !!!
SERBIA RULES
Serbia? Lol.
@@mainemceachern1521 Your Mama rules too
Nadal toujours le meilleur
At clay only clay
Sooo lucky to have lived in this era of tennis with Nadal, Fed and Dj...
Hope someone else will join Alcaraz for another long time rivality
And this year Roland Garros will be historic as well. There will be one and only GOAT in tennis
Yes Raonic is goat
Weak era. Stat padding doesn't count.
Well done...Rapheal Nadal the Champion again and again and again and again...
As an absolute Rafa fan til the end of time;
I came here to say that Novak is the greatest tennis player of all time bar none!!!
Jist won his 23rd yesterday and am sure will will break tie with serena and blow Margaret Court's record outta the water!!!!
Admirable, congrats for loving truth above your personal preferences. It shows greatness. 👏🏼🙏🏼
Weak era perks.
@@nonody8125 dude Novak played in the most challenging *HARDEST MODE ERA* of all time!!!!
Been chasing Roger & Rafa for 15yrs dude. Finally surpassed them. Plus Alcaraz was supppsed to be THE CHOSEN ONE by the media.
So you're talkin crap
@@Suryananda thanks man.
Just being truthful about what it reLly is. No need to pretend or sulk. Congratulats the best. Period.
Rafa will always be my guy. Full stop.
Can you believe Djokovic lost 2 finals by double faulting?
Rain stopped Novak's momentum. Nadal should thank the god for that
Rafael Nadal would have still won
Hope you remember 2018 Wimbledon semifinal..Rain god helped Novak on that day...
@@vins1853 Djokovic just won the set and had the momentum you good?
@@pekillas2593 Nadal doesn't need to thank god for that he absolutely dominated Djoker at Rg anyway.
@@pekillas2593 Rain stopped Rafa's momentum. Pekillas. Novak should thank his God he won a set because of rain. Fact.
If such a prime Djokovic couldn't have beaten Nadal in the 2012, 2014 and 2020 french open finals, the utmost he is capable of beating the second class players to win his french open titles.
Djokovic was not in his prime in 2020. Djokovic beat Nadal at the FO in 2015 and 2021, FYI.
Nadal hasn't beaten Novak at aus open and the best was a 5 server 5 hours 50 mins losing 3 successive slams to Novak...Novaks beaten him on clay period and all 1009 masters twice
Nadal hasn't
So your cherry picking stats
Rafael Nadal Champions super God bless
Chokovic getting destroyed love to see it
This might be the worst edit of a tenni match I've ever seen 😂😛
😂😂
Wow Nadal GOAT
Nope. Match that made tennis history was Djokovic v Nadal Australian Open final 2012. Something that physically and mentally exhausting never happened before and after.
GOAT Djokovic 🙏
djokovic will win the calendar grandslam + THE AO 2024 title
🤔
Let’s see if he can even enter the us for the USO😂. Also Rafa will finally have a full clay season for the first time since 2019, he will be super dangerous in Paris . Novak will win Wimbledon and the us if he can play but French open ima go with Rafa all day .
Dream on
@@justusbeweel1109 Nope, he's not winning the USO. Wimbledon is possible because of zero grass court specialists.
@@justusbeweel1109 Rafa doesn't even know if he's playing Monte-Carlo yet. He's completely finished.
The greatest player of all time Rafael Nadal
SO SATISFYIN TO SEE DJOKER LOSE
WELL THAT DOESNT HAPPEN VERY OFTEN, HATER! ENJOY THIS LITTLE MOMENTS. NOVAK IS BACK ON COURT TO PROVE HIS GOATNESS
Well, his miserable comment was provoked by your use of CAPITALS...and giving no credit to Nadal.
wonderfull
They had to stop the match to make it happen. 😂 Nadal almost lost from an easy win situation but he got saved 😊
@@kakashihatake1029 Nadal pretty much dominated Djoker at Rg every en counter here you guys pray he doesn't face Nadal again ın here.
SUCH A CLASS FROM NOVAK - ALWAYS GRACIOUS AT DEFEAT. NO ONE IS LIKE HIM. TRUE GENTLEMAN AND GOAT
A true gentleman never breaks a racket!
@@ferdinandelpedes2280 In that case, there's about 1 gentleman on the tour and it's Rafa lol
@@ferdinandelpedes2280 Joko breaks more rackets than the number of matches he has won. lol😂 He acts like a bratty toddler instead of a gentleman. Wow, i wonder why people don't like him? hmmm
