What era? He dominated one year. 2012 was nobodies year. 2013 was Rafa's year. 2014 again nobody sticking out. 2015 and half 2016 djoker. 2017 Rafa/Federer. 2018 Djoker, 2019 Rafa/Djoker, Rafa had more masters. That not really dominating.

The most revolutionary tennis season in ATP history
Yes, but one step down
@Shawn He wasn't mate Djokovic was his problem that year. Nadal had spent too much juice on Federer, he couldn’t do the same thing on Novak.
Stueww Nadal had tactical problems in 2011 . His serve wasn’t good enough and got punished by Djokovic and his agression from the baseline wasn’t up to the task . Nadals backhand imo was lacking penetration consistently that year and his forehand up the line combined with his court position wasn’t threatening enough for Djokovic. All those things he adjusted in 12-13 and guess what he started to beat Djokovic 6 out of 7 matches .
@@ertugrulkorpinar51 Exactly, his returns too weak is exactly what comes to my mind. Return short against Novak and you’re done and that’s what he fixed in 2012 and as you say, Nadal has started to dominate him again. I also think that his rivalry with Federer was so demanding, that mentally he was overwhelmed against Novak. Your analysis is always right, why don’t you come back to the Whatsapp group? Prudhvi just invited me.
@@ertugrulkorpinar51 we all know Djokovic's level had dipped marginally from 2012 till 2015 and Nadals had increased in 2013. Also those "adjustments" that Nadal made consisted mainly of him being able to step into the court and utilize his forehand with less effort than in 2011 due to Djokovic's reduced groundstroke depth. Don't tell me it's because Nadal stopped him from doing so because I've seen with my own eyes that the difference was infact Djokovic's inability to put pressure on Nadal with his groundstrokes off of the same patterns of play.
For me the highest level anybody ever played throughout a season. To beat nadal 6 times in a row, in finals, including 2 clay and 2 gs finals, is something unreal. His backhand in the madrid final was arguably the best backhand performance ever. He's a true idol, and an icon of the sport
Plus Nadal was coming from one of his best seasons , 2010.
That year was prime nadal vs peak novak. What a year of tennis
Gunbnelch Maui It means nothing tbh, Nadal won 3 out of the 4 matches the following year against Nole.
Federer 2006 is the best
What Novak did with his bh in 2011 is the best bh ever. No competition. Not even Wawrinka.
They met 6 times this year always in finals and always Djokovic won

Very painful year as a Nadal fan, but Novak was the better player, that’s it.
Good on you to be able to acknowledge this Stueww. We need more fans like you
@Shawn Nadal was 100% in 2011. It's just that he wasn't ready to face that monster peak Novak. He needed to change his game and he did that in 2012.
@Shawn As a Nadal fan, I would have to say Djokovic was just way better than him in 2011. There is no denying that, injuries or not. But this is why I became a fan of Nadal. He may lose but he works hard enough to improve his game. And he did so in upcoming 2-3 years and did that once again in recent years. This is just an example of how the big 3 have pushed each other hard enough that they have to improve even as they reach the end of their careers.
When prime Nadal vs peak Novak was going on in this decade, it didn't seem like either one will lose a point based on their defence and movement. That is just how high of a level these 2 were fighting at.
Prateek Ranjan well said
@GTS Fans like me can recognize things, but fans like you can’t. That’s why everything you say won’t be credible.

2011 remains to this day the strongest year of tennis!
The best gatecrasher of this generation. Just unreal was Novak's rise to dominance since 2011. In my opinion, the scariest part started in the Madrid final when he went up an even higher gear from Miami. His speed around the court and the shotmaking somehow went to a new high level. And he pretty much rode that for a majority of the rest of the year.

@zakaria djouzi becuse he is 6-1 ib rg. in ao djoko leads 2-0 in wimbledon its 2-1 and in us open nadal leads 2-1 it means nadal is too dominant on clay it dosent make him better player then djoko. goat is not who is best on clay dumb ass nadal record is too one dimensional and he himself is too one dimensional player out of his 34 masters titles some what 25 to 26 titles r on clay loot at his gs tall 12 of 19 r on clay thats not a goat record. go n check their head to head after djoko discovered his best nadal is not even near by miles. what was the last time nadal beat djokovic in gs it was in 2014 dumb ass after 2011 nadal has beten djokovic 4 times in slam. geat out of dream and the track on which u r so proud of is not going to stay for long and if it thwn nadal will have to retire to maintain that h2h lead other whise it is impossibe. nadal is nothing infront of djokovic unless it is clay court do u remember last time u master beat djoko on any surface other than clay. talk with facts bitch
to say that djokovic dominated nadal in 2011 is an understatement. he absolutely demolished him. he beat him in 6 back to back finals, which included Wimbledon and the US open. the other 4 titles are major tournaments in the form of masters 1000s. even more insane, he was so fucking OP this season he beat the god of clay in back to back clay court masters 1000s titles in rome and Madrid which was the most insane thing ever and unheard of. its never happened for a reason before and again, because only 2011 djokovic reached a level capable of beating nadal in back to back clay court tournament finals. even tho 2015 djokovic statistically done better overall, I think there's a strong argument to say that 2011 djokovic was his peak considering his wins and his absolute dominance of nadal. Even nadal himself described djokovic's performances as "probably he highest level of tennis that I ever saw."
Not demolished ..In Indian Wells and Miami it's a close match but rest of the matches Nadal didn't get to the level of Djokovic
Впереди не менее триумфальный 2023 ...да и 2020 тоже по три шлема на сезон!))

Then this fails and they just accuse him of being lucky or something equally stupid. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Fed fan, but hey you can't just discount all Novak's done.

@@seboskribanek6890 Say that again now, but try without crying.
You can clearly see in the Rome final that nadal was moonballing quite often because he cannot find any other tactic to break djokovic down. Djokovic was getting frustrated by the moonballing to the point where he roars everytime he blast a winner out of nadal's high balls.
Nadal won French open 2020 by using moonballing tactic and slowing down the pace of volley to win.

Those matches on Indian Wells and Miami were very important. Djokovic started to believe he could beat him at big finals and then he was even able to dominate the clay season (even if he failed at Roland Garros). It was a moment when it changed the dominance between the two.
I think it's the biggest rivaldry ever
Two greatest defenders of all time. They really had to earn their winners here lol
2011 djokovic was something else. His best year regarding level of play.
This man is like the glitch that appeared in the tennis system in 2011. He was always outside the Fedal legacy but since 2011, he's just been killing it. And that would be underselling him. Total respect from a Fed fan.

@@aranyaism So Djokovic only have 19 grand slams and 4 ATP Finals?. More like 2009 and 2010 Djokovic was crap. 2008 Djokovic was great.
I've always thought of 2011 as Djokovic's best season, not 2015. The reason why is that tennis goes beyond the numbers (in this case titles and wins). In 2015, he faced a fairly weak tour and almost completely dominated. In 2011 though, he could do this to a very strong Nadal on clay. To me that speaks volumes. Also, Federer played better tennis, in my opinion, and so provided more competition when they did face each other.
Just because Rafa was not the best in 2015 doesn't mean the tour was weak. Roger in my opinion was one of his best versions in 2015 reaching 2 major finals, 3 masters finals and the atp finals finals.
@Shawn Reached the finals to please the fans?
@@sergiosarmiento4371 he truly got injured in the second half of 2011, I don't know somehow he was able to win the Us Open
@italkcrab I disagree, Murray reached 1 major final, reached 2 major semis and won two masters.
Wawrinka won one major and reached 2 major semis.
Not their best years but by non big 3 standards that's actually pretty good, how could you say the tour was weaker than usual?
Even Rafa was not as bad as people suggest, the fact that he lost 6-7 times to Novak (the best player of the year) meant that he still could play well enough to reach him but not enough to beat him.
Sergio Sarmiento just because players make it to major finals doesn’t necessarily mean it still wasnt a weak year. Everyone was out of form and the non big 3 players were inconsistent out of slams. 2011 was against prime nadal and a decent fed

My guy went 70-6 winning 3 of the 4 grand slams. Absolutely OUTSTANDING!
A curious thought about their head to head in 2011 is that in Indian Wells and Miami, both hard courts, Djokovic won by 2 sets to 1 and on clay, where Rafa was supposed to have more chances of winning, the Serb went 2 sets to against Nadal. That season broke Rafa's heart on the Grand Slams. That 2012 Australian Open loss must had been difficult for him to absorb, losing three GS finals in a row to the same opponent. Hats off to Djokovic!
@Shawn Nadal lost the final match to Djokovic in 4 Masters 1000, at Wimbledon and US Open. What kind of knee problem gives you no trouble beating players like Federer, Murray, Berdych, Tsonga (all inside the top 10 in that season) but makes it difficult against Djokovic?! This has nothing to do with injury. Rafa had to win from 5 to 6 matches in every one of those tournaments he fell in the final round to Djokovic. The Serb was simply too good for everyone in 2011. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Nadal fan, but blaming on an injury to justify being schooled by Novak when he was at a higher level, that's just lack of humbleness.
@Shawn I'm pretty sure he didn't skip Wimbledon because he had 2000pts to defend, a world number 1 ranking at stake and obviously, as the best player of the world, the obligation of playing the tournament as he is a sponsored professional player. They might say in press conferences they play for the fans, but Nike, Richard Mille, Kia, Babolat and others disagree.
Fedal dominates in the tour?
Djokovic: hold my beer
What amazes me is how can a guy so drastically like this and dominate in a span of hardly 4 months. In 2010 US Open he was just outclassed by Nadal and just after 4 months he completely dominated everyone and won even on clay
Tennis TV really being straightforward😂
Best year in tennis history. Not only because of the numbers (70-6 and 43 wins in a row) but also because of the way he did it. Defeating 6 straight times Nadal, even on his surface, is just the most unbelievable achievement in tennis. And I enjoyed Federer at his best in 2006, he was unique, but this level of tennis is too much. You won't see those rallies ever again. And in this video, they missed US Open 2011, which was the climax of tennis.
It's amazing how exhausting and difficult matches they played. They start during the day and end late in the evening.

Noone talks about Nole forehead, that was stunning in 2011
I kind of disagree, his backhand was phenomenal but his forehand was inconsistent on average. I prefer his forehand performance at RG this year.
Two things I love about this video:
1. Nadal's points. People can see how well Nadal was playing and it still wasn't enough to beat this Novak.
2. Novak's backhand. He doesn't have that backhand anymore. I think it was gone after 2015 or maybe after 2016. He was just hugging the baseline and smashing ball early. Incredible angles and incredible power.
he started getting back now though, not similar to his 2011 but definitely more efficient now
His backhand is still good but he mostly just hits deep with it now. It’s not as offensive as here but still good

As much as I adored the match at the French that year between federer and djokovic I think the final most people wanted to see was nadal djokovic Roland Garros 2011 having beaten nadal four times already that year including consecutively on clay in straight sets

And then he was able to defeat him on clay like nobody else did it before or after (in fact only Thiem is consistent in defeating Nadal on clay at least on one match every season). It's a pity he failed big time on RG semis because i think that was destined to be the most challenging final to Rafa (to be honest Federer had it's chances in that final and played probably his best on clay, but he missed too many opportunities)
In 2011 Djokovic dominated a fantastic Nadal. In 2015 Djokovic dominated an average Nadal. Thats the difference.
Incredible memories 🧡🧡🧡
*This prime Djoker was the greatest ever. G.O.A.T.!*
Prime Nole: 2011-2016. 24 Grand Slams (10 Australian Opens, alien record), 40 ATP Masters 1000, 7 ATP Finals and years 2011, 2015, 2021 and 2023 dominated. Facts. Greatest tennis player ever.
I believe it is the best season in the history of tennis. Pete Sampras has called it the best season in the history of sports (in general).
2011-2020 The decade Djokovic dominated Nadal
Not really. 2010 was nadal 2011 djoko 2012 was kinda balanced 2013 2014 nadal 2015 djoko 2016 nadal was injured so didn't really do much but let's give it to djoko 2017 nadal 2018 djoko 2019 they're tied in terms of gs and h2h
@BETSELOT EYOB 2012 and 2018 was Djokovic because he ended the year world number one
Djokovic lost 4 gs finals against nadal in this decade u stupid idiot.

@@matijacvitkovic3735 But he hasn't loss on a non clay surface to Nadal since 2013! Or in a GS final to Nadal since 2014!
so many points where rafa is in great position, hits a near flawless shot that novak just hits back in the most perfect spot to reset the point then take over on the next ball.
The true golden year of tennis. The level of tennis these two produced in the multitude of finals they played is unreal. I don't see this overall level being matched by any other season in the future. You won't see an alcaraz, sinner, or rune match at this level of intensity take place every time they meet up for an entire season.
Grande Nole 🇷🇸👏👏👏
Đoković's 2011 season is arguably the best season in tennis history, comparable to Djokovic's 2015 and maybe few from other players
15:46.... The most epic roar ever .
Highest level of tennis! Will never be replicated
The year 2011of djokovic described Andre Agassi as " the season never seen before in tennis history." He was utterly right. Quality and level of both players was insane. Out of six final he beated 3 times king rafa on clay. That's not happening to see everytime. During 2011 to 2021(july) novak won 19 slams rafa won 9 fedrer won 5 slams. Fedrer should thank novak for protecting his 20gs record till year 2020. Else rafa would have 25 slams now.
twice on clay, 3 on hardcourts, and 1 on grass ( Madrid and Rome on clay, IW, Miami, USO on HC, and Wimb on grass ).
He was literally lights out in 2011
@Shawn keep writing this idiotic comment over and over again,after all you have to convince yourselve and other pathetic haters like you to believe into this bullshit and justife Rafa and other players Nole dominated fair and square.. grow up kid and give credit where credit is due👊🏻👊🏻
@Shawn lol 2011 nadal was at his peak what the hell are you talking about. He was world number 1.
@@aranyaism Calm down dude and don't let this troll nobody "shawn" guy to trigger you. He is a famous troll who also trashtalks on Nadal and Federer all the time, this kid has no life and all he can do is trying to trigger everybody in the comment section.
Remember watching back in 2010-2011 when majority thought he would lose to Federer and Nadal in matchups and I'd go the other way. The way he dominates baselines rallies, defends and barely makes an unforced error made me think this guy is going to win a lot of titles and going through the years boy he did. 2011 was a season that made me realise Djokovic can be the best ever player despite being far behind in big titles. It was foreshadowing of what was to come. He's a machine and mentally unmatched.
1st time I watched tennis on television was the 2011 novak, and i was like OMG is this guy even human, and ive been a fan eversince
2017: the year Federer dominated Nadal.
4-0
2014 : Kyrgios - Nadal 1-0
2008-2014:The Period Nadal Dominated Federer.
@BETSELOT EYOB Everyone was beating Federer that year
@BETSELOT EYOB Fed has a winning record on both hard and grass, no doubt Nadal has hit the highest peak ever seen in tennis on clay tho. For me its Djoko< Fed< Rafa in Goat debate, as much I hate to admit.
@@drga8704 pls stop with this "Federer has a winning record on hard" as long as it's 11-9 after the meetings from 2017. Until then, Rafa always led and he still leads the GS h2h

Well... deny that's numbers anyone! Bravo Rade!
2011 is the year Nole started to dominate the game. 2024 he is No 1 in the world. ❤❤❤
Can somebody please tell me the music/ tune they used in the last 30 seconds of this video?
Im hooked
The GOAT coming of age!
As a Nadal Fan I think Novak will be the GOAT one day. He maybe already would be, if didn’t have such a period 2017-mid 2018. You can say the same for Rafa becaus of his injuries. We don’t have to talk about Roger right now he is the goat.
Don't comment like this to get likes, ok
There is no objective GOAT imo
That's insane!
