Back when Nadal had hairs and Masters were 5 setters, now we don't have both.
kieran We don’t have *either. When you say ‘we don’t have both’, you mean that we have one but not the other, when in fact we have neither one nor the other.
Yes, I’m that guy.
Myytchanneldinako Ha hi that guy
OK. We don't have this tournament at all this year!
@@myytchanneldinakoha8498 yet, you still got what he meant... Yes Master
Still young gen are struggle to win masters. i wonder if these dudes were on the court in the late 2000s what would have been their fate.
14yrs later they are still at the top of the game!
It's just insane when you think about it...we were so blessed with these 2
I want to be a Roger Federer fan so much but at the end of the day he is just not good of a player compared to Nadal and Djokovic
@@angrut who saids he has to be as good. If you like him then you like him
Facts
@@angrut Federer is older than Nadal and Djoko, which explains why the younger ones are now a bit better than him. Djoko for example started playing Federer mostly once Federer was no longer in his prime.
I could see Nadal beginning to slow down at the end of the 4th set. Federer could sense it as well. Federer kept up his skill shots consistently and King Nadal was burning out. These two are world wide tennis mentors out the yang. Thanks ATP. 10/23/2020
Well that's a shame Nadal slowed down in the 4th set. Back then it was best of five sets but now it is best of three and Nadal never end of winning the Miami open in his career one of the most prestigious titles he never won. Perhaps 2005 was his real chance of winning it he was the better player on the day in 2005 final. Maybe if it was best of 3 sets he would of had enough energy to close the match out
Love Federer too but I remember catching this live and being struck by the absolute fierce energy of Nadal. Started rooting for him that moment before I even knew his name. Still do --
I saw this live, too. Wow, how time flies.
2045 miami open final federer vs nadal,federer can reach his 200 title.
Nadal's son that is
@@Dizlowski it look like he is ahha
@@Dizlowski uh, no
nadal is steroid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Dizlowski the doper is your beloved Steroid Federer
This is why masters 1000 finals and ATP WTFs final should be best of 5 sets.
Bada Bing888 yep
Why's that?
WTF maybe, but if the masters 1000 final went to 5 sets again there would be no contrast with the slams and the players would suffer from more wear and tare on the body, especially before a slam.
Ricardo Feitosa agree
@@Kidgloves1984 In the slams all the matches are 5-setters. We're only talking about one match here.
One of their best matches. More attacking Federer, less defensive Nadal, better court speed
What a comeback, what a match , amazing Federer.
And the Djoker showed up, rest is history...
@@gogigogic1936 not really. All 3 had great careers
@@justinsaehoon Agree. Djoker won all GS-s in Fedal era. It's amazing fact.
@@gogigogic1936 i love djoko but your reply to this comment is irrelevant. Just another keyboard warrior eating his potato chips.
@@romeoalpha6180 Ok, whatever...
It feels like this was really the match where Federer realized he had to bring his game to an even higher level to remain on top. Just breezing through with his talent was not enough anymore. The rest between these guys is obviously history.
Nah lol what are you talking about
@@ml_gamer8344 against any other player Federer could win at 70%, against Rafa he needed to give his 100% and even with that he could still lose.
@@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960 not in 2005 off of clay
@@ml_gamer8344 wrong, Miami 2005 Is an example of that.
How long will it take to see someone 18 years old playing a Masters1000 final again? It should not be forgotten that Rafa, at the age of 18, had already won 2 masters1000.
Probably this year with alcaraz. Then last year sinner (he was 19) reached Miami final. Anyway there's a lot of new talents right now. But if you're expecting the new Roger and Rafa, you'll be ever disappointed
Just happened with Alcaraz today! Kid is fun to watch.
@@VarunMurthy i came to say the same. I prefer Alcaraz by the way.
I am a (too easy) prophet
Here we are in 2022 with alcaraz taking over.
OMG I've always thought Nadal's pre-serve rituels were inborn 😳
Just passing through on my journey to watch every Federer match.
15 years after, are still the best !
Watching this in 2019 and I must say Roger really perfected his game. 101🏆
Yes coupled with Nadal's decline which you can see here.
@abhi reddy abhi reddy But Federer's game isn't centered around his athleticism but rather his shot making. Federer loses a lot to tstsipas and Dinitrov because he is a massive choker and makes a lot of unforced errors. He doesn't play clutch as much as Nadal or Djokovic.
@abhi reddy lol calling Nadal a baseline basher. Nice try. Dude they all have to be athletic in some way. That's why they are athletes literally. But my point is Federer hasn't built his game around his athleticism. The central pillar of his game is about making ability.
And to think Nadal is a baseline basher. Do you mean to say Nadal never approaches the net? If you think so just watch the USO 2019 again. You can't be a goat by playing just from the baseline. Federer had even admitted that Nadal is a better trick short player than him recently.
And Nadal didn't choke on those matches. It just happened that the opponent played better. Nadal did everything he could. Luck went sideways for him on those days.
That is unlike Federer who has lost matches when having CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS. Losing break in the final set isn't the same as not converting CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS. And Federer has happened to have done that not just once, but at least four times.
That isn't too day Nadal hasn't choked. But it just so happens that Federer has choked more often and more spectacularly.
@@prateek752 Federer loses to dimitrov and tsitsipas because he is 10 and 17 years older than each of them. Also athleticism does matter way more than in 2005, because now the surfaces are slow as heck (=longer rallies, defensive tennis). So ofc grand pa Federer who is way past his physical prime is gonna struggle against younger players.
Also the loss against dimitrov at the USO 2019 is the only one of his entire career, and he was gonna retire for injury. And it still went to 5 sets. Tells a lot about the overall level difference between both guys.
Really love watching without commentary. More closely resembles the vibe at the stadium
15 years later they are still at top of their game, unbileeble
Ahhhh...those were the days. 5-setters in Masters, Nadal and his pirates shorts, Roger with long hair, er, actually, they BOTH still had hair! - and both still leaving it all on the court 15 years later is bonus for all tennis fans.
Also, is this still the only match Nadal has lost from 2 sets up?
Cant be...lost fogna a few years ago at the us open like that
And lost in the 2021 AO to tsitipas
Wish they’d bring back five setters for masters series finals
He launch the racket on the crowd i have an seen before that racket wow i wish i was there. What a rivalry, What a Match.
becuz Nadal was so young, so talented people just not used to the fact a teenager going to dominate their champion that's why Nadal was constantly underestimate and underappreciated, but as a great fighter and a soon-become great champion he continue improving himself and shown the respect to his fellow competitors(even there are many being a jerks to him) and now he's one of most beloved and respected athletes in the world, a hard and long journey...
He once said "I wish people remembers me more as a good person than a great champion"... what an wonderful human being he is!!! and thus comment was posted by me, a Djokovic fan!!!
Nadal made a career out of attacking federers' backhand. His crooscourt leftie topspin made it difficult for fed to hit the ball cleanly.
GRACIAS ROGER POR TU MAESTRÍA EN EL TENIS!! SOS Y SERAS X SIEMPRE EL MEJOR DE LA HISTORIA Y EL NUMERO 1😎❤
What a lovely comeback 😍
What a complete turnaround that was
The most obvious things that have changed for the players in my opinion are Nadal has developed his never say die attitude and Federer has a much improved backhand
I watch this match often because I saw from their first encounter that Roger looked lost against young Nadal. How he mustered the will to pull this off is a testament to how driven Roger is. Now Roger has closed in, but will not beat Rafael Roland Garros. Historic rivalry!
Just FYI - this is not their first encounter. Nadal actually beat Federer a year before in their first meeting in 2004, also in Miami (6-3, 6-3).
@@stephl6191 as the video states, it's their 1st final, not their 1st match.
Golden legends
so much nicer warmer atmosphere and stadium than the cold Hard Rock Stadium!!
Absolutely!!!
The Nasdaq was the best time for this tournament I think. I used to know a way to walk in for free.
Minus some people who would shout while they are serving.
Wow, Nadal almost went through Schuettler, Verdasco, Ljubicic, Johansson, Ferrer, and Federer with the loss of just one set to Ljubicic in a tiebreak...
That's a very difficult hard court draw to plow through at age 18.
Graças um ao outro, o nível de jogo de cada um foi absurdo. Ambos tinham que evoluir fisicamente e mentalmente para cada confronto. Tive o privilégio de assistir a muitos jogos dessas duas lendas. As finais nos dias de domingo me reunir com meu pai. Ele torcendo para o Federer e eu para o Nadal. Que saudade de jogos assim.
It's amazing to see how much better they are now more than a decade on. The ability to change direction and pace of the ball is in constant evolution and its very noticeable in watching their encounters in recent years.
Their speed & forehands have declined. Peak Fed and Nadal are between 2008 and 2012.
@@vinhbao9738 speed isn't everything. If it was, these guys would be wiped off the court years ago. Look at the ball placement in this match compared to Australian Open 2017, it's night and day.
@@coinrotator Speed is everything. Without speed, you wouldn't be able to set up a good forehand.
I disagree the ball striking and all the less BS around tennis at this time was way better. This was the real Miami. Hot and brought a lot of good tennis.
Federer should watch this every time he remembers the heartbreak of Rome 2006.
Golden legend in the universal
Amazing comeback 💥💥💥
Federer had been disposing of players with such relative ease, when he ran into Nadal, he didn't realize this was a different beast. Took him 5 sets to understand.
Estaban escribiendo su historia, como los mejores de todos los tiempos.
Beautiful
Funny how back then Nike made Federer wear the same shirt from hard court season through clay season.
This is when it was a tournament! Now it might as well be the Panama Open!
It’s strange to see Federer outlasting Nadal in an endurance battle. Wow have times changed...
ao final 2017?
One of the epic matches of these two. But the GOAT defeated an extraordinary young player.
Nadal GOAT
@@EgorSebastianBach Yeah he showed that vs Fognini
Federer won just beacause that lucky call on nadal's break point
Johan Sebastian Bach Djokovic GOAT
There is no GOAT
Siempre será el rey de este deporte, sin importar los récords,
Ya empezabas chatin,Fereder tampoco lo hacía mal,buena Gente.Despues de los los años que os veo Jugar os puedo seguir viviendo Jugar.Con Ñ siempre.
2019 again champion age is just a number for this guy... Amazing Roger..
still like the old times when the courts have various surfaces ... fast or slow ... ppl can then have their favorite surface ...
Peak Fed against Peak Rafa. What a comeback from Fed!
I'm watching it after Nadal’s 20th GS trophy... incredible.
Très grand match a l'allure d'un match de grand Chelem, les 2 joueurs ont joué à un niveau exceptionnel, coup de chapeau particulier a Fédérer pour sa remontada
That forehand at 12:14.
Match saver forehand
Actually they met each other in finals more than in semi finals. And met each other more than meet others. Good buddies.
cuz they were 1 and 2 ranked for most part of their career
both played Novak more
Legends
Iconic ! Roger the best of all time
Fed is grunting like Nadal 🤣😆😂 I can't!
Nadal's serve was so bad back then. His stamina was better and his speed was higher, though. Also, his passing shot rate against slice approach was like 95%.
His serve got much better by 2008.
This was peak tennis
18:28 that shot was amazing
Could be Nadal's only Miami so far back then, especially leading 2 sets and a break. He is still waiting for his maiden. Just 2 more tries he got
Why would 47 viewers dislike this video??? Only thing missing was commentary.
Awe. The good ole days! Rafa's shot at 50:49 is awesome! Passed right by roger.
The video is 21 minutes long, dumbass.
People who say Roger won in weak era bla bla bla, look at this match. 2005 was Roger's first real TOTAL DOMINATION year, Nadal almost destroyed him like a challenger player.
Last 5-7 years are the weakest era we have had, there's no real challenger for Novak and Rafa except the old man Roger.
Roger, Rafa, and Novak are the 3 greatest players ever yes? Roger won most of his slams not competing against the other 2. While Rafa and Novak won most of theirs competing against 1 or both of the other 2. you calling the last 5-7 years the weakest era when the 3 greatest players were playing in it is really quite stupid.
You dumb head, last 5-7 years there is no real competition for Rafa and Novak. Those two are keep on winning.
Back your arguments with numbers. Who won French open 2005,06,07,08, and who lost those finals.?
Nadal had beaten him in 2004 in his first match against fed . Before that he had beaten all mediocre players who hardly won any slam .. so it’s rite , fed atleast won 10 slams with very weaker opponents
The forehand at 15:36 is absolutely ridiculous
40 grand slams between these guys have cost both of thier hairs.
Wonder what type of people could give this showcase a thumbs👎down? 🙄 🤦🏽♂️
Greatest tennis comeback ever
Lol
mole polole
Not even close what are u talking about
Usvsahsvj then which one is?
@markorevan ..2017 AO
@@malikomererdogan7627 no comeback there
This shows you how good Nadal was at 18 years old. A little bit more defensive than he is now, but a lot quicker and I think harder to beat that the more recent version of Nadal.
Nadal is arguably far better than what he was back then, however.... His ability to get to damn near every ball and be able to turn defense into offense would outclass almost everyone in today’s standards
I used to think that Federer deserved the GOAT label because he raised the bar after the Sampras era. But having watched this highlight reel, and the first match these two played in the 3rd round a year earlier, I feel that Federer may have raised the bar a bit to get to number one but Nadal forced the sport to climb another rung. 17 and 18 years old and simply demanding that everyone play hard every point or lose. Nadal is the GOAT (and not just because he now has 21 slams), though Djokovic and Federer are close seconds. What an era. Wish it would never end.
bs
so you should rewatch Djokovic in 2011-2012 beating 25 -year old Nadal 7 finals in a row on all surfaces to realise that Djocovic raised the bar In an unprecedented way, Nadal raised his level at the 2012 Australian Open and beat Federer in the semi-finals, but he also lost the longest Grand Slam final against Djoko. So after 12 years and Novak having 22 Grand Slams, it is fair to say that Djoko is the GOAT
@@ahmedisa3723 point well taken. Federer still at 103 total titles, Djokovic at 93. No doubt Nole set the standard for head to head at the Slams once he established dominance in 2011. The 2012 Australian Open win over Nadal may be the greatest match of all time.
@@drbobinski1 Wait until the next year
Agreed. The 2012 final was definitely top 3 if not solid #1. They had to sit down during the award ceremonies.
Listen to Nadal at 10:41 in 0.25x. A real T-Rex sounded like that. Lol
epic battle
La fuerza esta' en las piernas de Rafa...😎
This was fucking incredible!! Actually here Rafa started to become famous! And I think this the beginning of their rivalry
anyone know where i can watch other matches for on this tournament?
Federer has won the First and the Last finals until now haha
One lucky bastard got Federer's racquet...
Fed should have won the 2nd set in all honesty.
@@Masterdoctorgenius14 and nadal should have won the match if wasn't for that call
@@matteo964 oh yeah call lmaoo
@@tattwa1 in the third set on a break point for nadal a ball by federer was clearly out. Check your facts right
@@matteo964 Oh yeah. Actually it was all conspiracy. Nadal already won before third set :'DDDDD
That’s an exquisite match, and especially sober celebrations from Roger after a tough victory! I love young Nadal play, but his celebrations were little over the top! Esp annoying when against Roger.
we are the luckiest generation of sports entertainment to witness both cr7,messi,zlatan as well as rafa,roger and novak at the same time....nothing like that ever happened before our generation
False. Every generation wants desperately to believe that what they saw was best. In tennis, this may be true, but not in football.
Is the best roger federer
Then the great dance begins..
Ese día él tenís cambio para siempre
Wow this is one of the best tennis matches I have seen 🤯. Tell me if you have seen a better one.
para los espectadores era hermoso ver estos match a 5 sets, pero la verdad que para los jugadores podía llegar a ser un sufrimiento, Nadal aunque obviamente era chico, los últimos puntos ya estaba muerto, prefiero seguir viendo finales a 3 sets, que ver a mi jugador favorito jugar una final a 5 set, y retirarse los dos siguientes master 1000, porque encima hay master que termina uno y ya empieza el otro
the GOAT
Miami 2019 :)))
I feel that Federer is a better player now to be honest. He takes the ball way earlier now.
Also he's using bigger racket. Since switching rackets he's beating Nadal everywhere except for French Open
@doblealpa if he used bigger racket earlier in his career h2h he would have won more matches than Nadal
No
@@davekeller6115 wrong,with biggest racket his forhenad wouldnt have been what it was
This highlight feels like Roger lost for some reason. It’s full of Nadal’s shots.
Atp why don’t u show what really happened in that match? I’ll be more specific : 3rd set rafa up 4-3 ,roger on the serve down 0-30, u wanna show that missed call? This might have easily cost rafa a masters win in Miami...
Yes. Back then there was no hawkeye. Rafa could have won if it wasn't for that. This is especially sad since he still haven't won Miami masters.
What really happened was that Nadal was two sets up and 4-1 up in the 3rd. I agree that that was a decisive call that could very well have affected the outcome, but at the end of the day, he's only got himself to blame for squandering the match
yep, think it's fair to say the match completely rested on that.
Nadal grunts so differently now
テクニックで語れる次元のテニスではないな。
Watching now when Federer has lost all these Grand slam finals and recently losing 2 match points against Djokovic, feeling bad for him but he had his share of luck, I mean he was down and out 1-4 in the 3rd set and end up winning.
Who was the umpire for this match ?
After losing this, I bet Nadal started his rituals.
The first epic match one of the best! Anyone else agree???
Today' s Federer is much better than 2005' s mostly.
No
Was all the Masters 1000 matches the best of five sets or only the finals?
Only finals
El GRAN RAFA enseñando a jugar tenis al suizo que es saque y nada más
Tu gran Rafa estaba 2 sets arriba en este torneo y lo perdió, además jamás ha ganado el Masters de Miami. ¿Por que no te dedicas simplemente a verlos y admirarlos en vez de arrojarles mierdas a uno de ellos? Date cuenta que están en activo, en un par de años no lo estarán y su magia se irá del circuito.
Nadal just crowned Australian Open 2022
Lol you can’t just toss your racket at the audience ouchhhhh!
Tell Wawrinka in Roland Garros 2015. Tell crowdsurfers.
Federer for the win
