Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal Full Match | US Open 2010 Final

- Rafael Nadal entered the US Open 2010 tournament as world No. 1 on the heels of French Open and Wimbledon victories. But in consecutive US Open semifinal appearances in 2008 and 2009, he won just one set in two matches as he bowed out to Andy Murray and Juan Martin del Potro.
He was improving on the hard courts, but still far from satisfied. Already a legend with eight career Grand Slam titles, Nadal had a point to prove.
Armed with a newly-bolstered serve that routinely clocked 135mph on the radar gun, the then 24-year-old stormed into the final without dropping a set. But could he find a way past Novak Djokovic to become only the sixth man to earn a career sweep of all four majors?

After 10 years,Rafa is still the defending champion in US Open..
Exactly! So epic to think that.
Well in his house (FO) after 15 years plus, he is still defending champion.
He hasn't won Wimbledon and Australian since then.
@@gledatelj1979 yep. Also that.
@@gledatelj1979 so what?I'm talking about Us open
@@Laland_1196 Rafa only wins tournaments with bad scheduling and bad climate and when Novak is exhausted by some other player. He is a good player that has been the second best the last decade .
Isnt it unbelievable though how well Djokovic is at returning these INSANE shots from Nadal? I just- its remarkable how interesting these guys are together
Novak Djokovic remains happy every time what a player 😊😀😀😀 and best friendship in between them
He'll need this serve when he gets back
Nadal with the Black on Black outfit 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Did anyone notice how cute that lil gesture was from Djokovic when he offered to handle his money 3:54:43 they are so cute and grown up soo much 🥺❤️
Imagine if he didn't give it back 💀
@@Tendorro 💀 💀
@@lukky333 agreed. Very friendly gestures between these 2 from 2006 to 2010. Post 2010 things changed
Look at Novak's smile, he was not planning to return it to Rafa at the end :))
@@Aman-nk5uq nole was always very nice when he lost to nadal
Oh my goodness. This is the first time I saw Rafael Nadal hand his check to Nole. They are both GOATs along with Federer. Classic match.
loving the hug at the end - the 2 of them always have great hugs :)
Yes but I think Nadal started turning cold to Djokovic since 2011 when he began dominating Nadal on the hard courts
Actually it never the same with Rafa when he loses tbh
Djokovic is significantly more gracious in defeat when he loses to Nadal than Nadal is when he loses to him.
Never when Nadal loses, than he congratulates the referee first before novak
As Nadal fan lot of people remember Wimbledon 2008 in higher regard but for me this one is most special it has so much historical significance
Wimbledon 2008 also had a lot of historical significance. He became the second Spaniard to win it and it was his first slam off clay. And he also beat the best grass court player
What’s the historical significance? That he won his first us open ?
Prem Mohite More importantly that he completed the career grand slam and he won slams on three different surfaces in one year
@@viksinha5410 Nadal didnt win against Novak in 2008, he won against Federer ;)
yeah
This era was Nadal´s peak in the game, from 2008-2010. His level was amazing, after these years it has been decresing a little bit every year. But he is so good that even this way, he has been winning tournaments but specially whe Djokovic or Federer failed. When Nadal was at this level (2008-2010) he was invincible.
Yea, might have lasted even longer, till like 2013 or something, if Djokovic didnt start going nuts post 2011.
@@cubia1 OP meant 2008 and 2010. Anyone who thinks any of the top tennis players *intentionally* loses to avoid a meeting with one of the others is clueless beyond belief and should take up watching pro wrestling instead.
absolutely wrong, peak nadal was between 2010 and 2013
He won two slams last year though?
cubia1 😂 What was that you said about Nadal losing on purpose to avoid having to play Fed 😂
Biggest understatement ever on Djokovic. "I think he's gonna get another major someday."
Haha, yeah he might get one or 2
Rafa's best outfit imo. Like a superhero.
For real I like his older outfits better in generel but this one takes the cake
Dark Knight Nadal!
We will
@@slaonestephens7575 I like RG 2017 outfit the most and USO 15, 16 Red and Blue respectively
I like his Us open 2010 and AO 2009 outfit the most.
Usually, I don't like Novak Djokovic because of his character during matches sometimes! But @3:54:45 ! 😂😍 Really Loved it and him too!!! Lovely Moment!
Yeh, I don't like him but he sometimes has some good gestures
hahaha... good catch

Rafa is such a class act. And still 10 years later more popular and classy than ever before,
Class act? Of course when he wins. You should pay attention to the matches he loses. He gives worse handshakes women’s.
@@bekastepanishvili11 I am not hating dude, I am stating what I noticed! Nadal is humble but that doesn’t mean we should overlook his flaws.

@@tennis-man1902 where did you see me say Djokovic never smashes a racquet? Check what you are saying before you speak nonsense.
Rafa was crushing serves during this whole tournament!! Scary to add that weapon to one of the already all-time great players...but it was a bit too hard on his shoulders to keep it up
Rafa is my favorite player, but his serve was not his best during these years. He's better now.
@@markuse3472 2010 was his peak service year. not even his serve now compares to what it was in this us open. He was hitting in the 130s consistently.
Nadal at his absolute best - a great year capped by this victory. Also nice to see how Djokovic was, as ever, gracious in defeat. Two great competitors!
In this match, Novak served 5 aces plus 13 unreturnable serves. Nadal served 8 aces and 24 unreturnable serves.
Rafa's serves were venomous during this 2010 North American Hard Court Swing.
This was in 2010, Novak could barely walk on court. Still took a set from a prime nadal
@@dnail1917 bro Novak played well. You cant beat top players not able to walk. Such a dumb person you are
@@dnail1917 if it wasn't for rain delay nadal would win in straights and djokovic played pretty well
AO 2022 , Nadal proves that HE is More than The King of clay
Vamosss .....!!! Rafael Nadal The Goat !!
He had 7 slams off clay before 2022. You can’t be considered a “specialist” with that kind of hardware.
Proves against who? Medvedev ???
Come on man let’s not be disingenuous, we all know that Nadal would never have won the AO that year had Djokovic been allowed to play. Do we remember what happened in the 2019 AO Final? Nadal is a great player and isn’t just a clay merchant, but Djokovic is better on hardcourts.
Rafa's first US Open title and became the youngest Career Grand Slam and Career Golden Slam winner and also becoming the first man in history to win the Surface Slam (majors on clay, grass, and hard courts in the same calendar year)
Hi,
What's the career grand slam and career golden slam winner?
@@draoicht22 The career grand slam is winning all four majors (AO, RG, WB, USO) in a career. The career golden slam, is winning all four majors and also winning Olympic singles gold, in a career.
No entendi nada 😂😂😂😂😂
Clutch serving from Nadal to win the third after 5-4, 15-30
Shades of the future - 3 years later he did something similar but even more remarkable at the end of another 3rd set vs Djokovic in the USO final, fending off 3 break points from 4-4 0-40, then breaking in the next game to take the set 6-4 and massively swing the momentum in his favour.
2 Legends!!!! 🐐🐐
This Nadal outfit is one of the best ever. Just amazing design.
This is the only tournament for which I've kept all of Rafa's matches on my tivo. I usually keep his winning finals, sometimes his losing finals, maybe a special semi or quarter but USO 2010 is the only one where I've kept the whole shootin' match.
I once was a tennis fan but lost interest after some of my favorites grew old and quit playing. Now in my later years I have returned to watch tennis and have been catching up. I have become addicted to Rafa’s style of play and his humble personality. I found myself disgusted with these announcers who kept referencing Novak as if he were the No 1. Silly, I know. I get that way about my favorite players. Rafa’s playing astonishes me.
Wish you had kept them so you could upload them. I’ve missed the Rafa years. Just started watching tennis this year after the 80s.
Wow, this was truly peak Rafa. His serves were 135 mph missiles, DTL forehands and backhands were absolute rockets. Absolutely unplayable.
Yeh, shame he gets injured alot
USO 2010 Rafael Nadal, possibly the greatest tennis player ever.

nadal in 2010, djokovic 2011, are among my favorites and along with federer in 2006, are probably the ultimate form of baseliners to ever exist yet.
Murray of 2012, Cilic of 2014 and Medvedev of 2019
@@adithyanaren519 I would rate Murray's best year was 2016
He reached AO, RG Finals, won Wimbledon without losing a set against Raonic(who looked terrific in match against Federer), won the Nitto ATP Finals trophy and also bagged the No1 Rank.
When Rafa was at his highest prime I believe not even novak could reach him.
To bad for him it didint last so long cause of injuries, his parents getting a divorce how it impacted him and his family ect..
While Novak not only has he been improving and doing his studies, being in the shadow of Roger and Rafa the first 3-4 years.
And then has even managed to stay at that level until now fkn amazing archivment.
true prime rafa was like a player on cheat code in a video game
That smile from Djokovic was priceless when Nadal was lifting the trophy!
For me the most important victory of Rafa.
Won the 4th grand slam, the one remaining in order to have all of them, also completing golden slam in his carreer, because he won the gold medal in 2008 finals i think and won australia in 2009
Also the 9th grand slam with 24 years old
13 YEARS BEFORE THEY WERE ON TOP AND STILL THEY ARE ON TOP ..WHAT AN AMAZING CHAMPIONS
I dont know if it is just me who thinks this,but rafa's 2010 season was so underrated.he won 3 out of the 4 slams and he got far in the aus open.personally,it is my favourite year that rafa has played.he was so lively and active woth wimbledon,roland garros and of course this match
Mine too and 2013 🥰🥰🥰
Why is his 2010 underrated? Many analysts recognize it as his best year.
Then 2011 came,the rest is the HIStory,THE GOAT NOLE!
Man these two have a bunch of classic finals matches
Surface slam , after RG, Wimbledon also now US Open 2010 - amazing Rafa!
Bless you for posting this.
I agree
It's unbelievable how Rafa completed the Calendar Slam at the age of 22 and most of the NextGens are 24+ and still trying to win their first slam
Rafa was 24 here, not 22. He had won 3 of the 4 slams and Olympic gold by the age of 22 though.
@@ashleythomas4112 Still it's impressive, considering the current generation of players are still struggling to win slams.
None of the big 3 completed calendar slam. However, Djokovic won 4 in a row, but not in the same year
All slams at 24, slams on all surfaces at 22
@@ashleythomas4112 he was 22. Do the math.
Still the best at 2022. Just amazing 👏
For those who criticize Novak and say he is proud they should watch this match again. It’s important to see his attitude after losing such a tough match. Both players were seeking their first US open title. So it was precious. But see how Novak remained very cheerful in defeat, and gave Rafa all due respects. Notice how he took the cheque off Rafa to allow him free his hands to carry the trophy. So impressive. Not only is Novak arguably the GOAT. He is also one of the best losers, if not the best, in the history of tennis.
Cant believe this was 10yrs ago!!
All respect to these two.
This was Nadal at his highest level on hard courts. His serve, forehand, and backhands all did damage and he went for hard shots that opponents couldnt return.
Since this time and even in 2012AO final majority of his shots were just relying on topspin and tiring the opponent with few aggressive play making shots like he displayed here.
1:25:20 - 1:25:28 the type of shots I'm referring to.
1:31:57 this backhand level was peak
The quality of this match is unparalleled
Hands down The best version of Nadal...especially his serve.....I think if u put prime Federer or Djokovic against this Nadal, he'll beat them without even going fifth set... don't even @ me
Lol
Lol.
Lol
Agreed which is why Rafa is GOAT to me
I agree, this is the best version of Nadal, however, I think 2011 Djokovic or 2015 Djokovic would still beat this Nadal because Djokovic is the greatest hardcourt player of all time. I think hypothetically it would go similarly to how the 2012 AO final went.
Respect for both of them. Legend
One of the best opening rallies of all time.
Rafa not only completed a Career Grand Slam but he also completed a Golden Grand Slam as well.
Australian Open - 2009 (1st and so far only title
French Open - 2005 (1st of 13 titles)
Wimbledon - 2008 (1st of 2 titles)
US Open - 2010 (1st of 4 titles)
Olympic Gold Medal - 2008
I was so hopeful about AO in 2018 & 2019 for Rafa as he could win another one then it would be a new world record (tough to break) that he would win every slams atleast 2times that is impossible for any other in this era....
As today's good plyers lack that consistnacy...
@@sayantanibhattacharjee.772 Until now, i can't forget AO 2017 final... He missed the title that year and Federer won.

3:51:56 and next yr he won the US OPEN...🔥🔥
Yey
Nadal's service and backhand in this tournament were perfect. Combined with the forehand, I believe 2010 Nadal is the greatest player ever alongside 2017 Federer and 2011 Djokovic (I would put 15/16 Djokovic but that was rather uncompetitive with both Rafa and Fed being in poor form and injuries)
Federer 2006 is better than 2017
upload djokovic vs federer 2010 and 2011.
"You're gonna win this trophy very soon, for sure, I'm sure of that." How ironic Rafa's prophecy, given Novak won the USO title the following year against Rafa himself!

2:50 the moment he saw Novak moving the racquet down he knew what he was gonna do
31:30 CRAZY moment
It’s obvious that Nadal dominated the French. But little known fact he also won the most US opens in the 2010’s
2 against Novak
Thing is Nadal became less physically fit than this match over the years whereas Djokovic became more fit than this over the years, that's one of the main reasons for Djokovic's utter dominance from 2011-2021 now.
Hard work on physical fitness with right kinda diet along with improving his game finally paid off very well for him.
Nadal got injured alot
Mr. Ryan spoke some prophetic words at the end of this video.
Nadal was started crying at final game when he was 30-0 itself.
He was waiting for that trophy for a long time.
These are some of my favourite commentators!
Worst commentators ever imo
based on this, there is no way you can convince me that novak was better in their 2013 USO match. I mean, it makes sense, right? novak was closer to his 2011 form in the second half of 2010(wimbledon - tour finals), than his 2013 iteration, some one and a half years *after* the *end* of his 2011 season, than 2010 USO, less than 5 months(4 and a half months), *before* the *start* of his 2011 campaign.
