It's the tournament I regret most that Nadal didn't win. He fought superhumanly in this tournament.
With AO 2014 and Wimb 2018
That's true but saying that is also disregarding Novak's effort. In fact all of the big4 was superb this tournament. This version of them would have been enough to win a slam against any other field. It just happened that they all played in the same tourney. AO12 was the best tourney for me.
@@richerlouis3391ao 2014 he didn’t have a chance in the final being injured while wawrinka was at his best. Wimbledon 2018 hurts because he had a great chance for a third Wimbledon title
That is pretty pathetic that he didn't win altought He fought superhumanly..... it says a lot about his lower skill.
@@davesufci1929 why is it pathetic? Lol. You’re such an armchair analyst. Djokovic and Nadal played in maybe the best grand slam final of all time, and Djokovic just edged it out. There’s never shame in losing to Djokovic… and the next year they played an amazing RG SF where nadal barely edged it out
One of the most underrated 4 set matches, Fed played very well here, forced Nadal to play out of his mind on the passing shots. Would have been a classic if it had gone to 5
Nadal vs Berdych might’ve been just as good as well. Two epic 4-setters by Nadal back to back, then of course the Djokovic/Murray semi and the near 6 hour final.
Djokovic won plenty of fake slams in rafa's absence
@@Rafatruegoat25Just like Dopedal did before the arrival of Nole...How many Wimbledons has Fakedal won after 2010😂😂😂😂😂...and he won 2022 AO in Noles abscence
@@Nostalgic14-zo3pk cry
@@Rafatruegoat25 u re the one who's crying spammer...Fakedal sucks
It wasn't even Fed's unforced errors or weak backhands, he was playing those shots to perfection but Nadal's defensive game was outta this world
The court was ridiculously slow. Almost a clay court
@@ifeanyiikpegbu6465Well, Australian Open has always been a medium paced court. The blue court is actually quicker than the green…
@@ifeanyiikpegbu6465”Roger lost because the court was too slow” is the last refuge of a salty Federer fan.
If you watched the match and not the highlights,it was feds unforced errors. Fed has never lost a match by not conceding more unforced errors
The tournament that got me into tennis. I remember watching this, the Murray Djokovic semi, and of course the final and being amazed at the level of tennis being played. I became a Roger fan just because of his playstyle but Rafa Novak and Andy were also incredible. All this toxic discourse makes me sad (I’m guilty of it too lol) because at the end of the day, we got to witness some of the greatest tennis ever played in this generation.
Yeah, so many losers in here with no life and greasy fingers whose best achievement in life is not shitting on themselves when they speak. Like you say, regardless of who you rooted for, the three of them have given us what's possibly the best rivalry in the history of sports.
I think round about this time was the closest you got to all 4 at their peak
@@stefanlosty444 that’s probably true, it’s crazy that in 2012 each of the 4 won a slam and every slam final involved 2 of the 4. Rafa got hurt at the end of the year unfortunately but was playing at a high level while healthy whereas the other 3 were pretty consistent all year. Was a great season for sure
@@johanssonb "Yeah, so many losers in here with no life and greasy fingers whose best achievement in life is not shitting on themselves when they speak." This is the very toxicity he/she was referring to.
@@stefanlosty444 2011-2012 was indeed the peak in this regard. All 4 players were mostly healthy and at (or near) peak form. That’s why the 2011 Djokovic season to me is by far the best season in tennis history. To go 10-1 against mostly prime aged Federer and peak Nadal, and to beat Nadal in 7 straight finals, is absolutely unheard of. Imagine a 91% win rate against two 20+ slam winners…that’s just incredible. I remember at the time people almost couldn’t believe that level of domination was possible, considering the competition.
Nadal had an incredible 2010, but Novak took a huge step from 2010 to 2011. Nadal in 2011 was basically as good as he was in 2010 and was on track to repeat 2010, but Djokovic improved. Nadal was actually so good that he made 5 straight slam finals from RG 2011 to RG 2012. Federer may have been slightly worse than he was at peak, but not by that much. He was still competing for slams every time and was only 29 or 30. Murray was also very, very good but still a level below the big 3. I would say 2011-2015 or 2016 (depending on how you look at it) were the strongest 5 seasons in tennis history, competition wise.
The quality in this match was ridiculous. No higher level than Nadal vs Federer. And it’s so thrilling to watch.
Not even, it’s just Nadal pounding Fed’s backhand over and over since he can’t play any attacking tennis. Nadal’s serve is an absolute joke
lol, I love salty Fed fans, they’re in such pain 24/7
Extended = 9min?
We need 20min+ for *Extended Highlights*
Should post highlights of the 2011 ao semi final between Djokovic and Federer. That one is a match that isn’t spoken about much
Underrated match.
Good job
Remember Novak played a 5:30 hr semi final with murray and then a 6 hour marathon with nadal in the final, Insane physicality and stamina.
If it was not Murray in the semis Novak would have won in straight sets in the final
@@saurabhtripathi917that's prime Nadal gunning for revenge for that 6 straight defeats in 2011 ..so it won't be straight sets..Rafa could have won that match in 4 sets but rafa serve let him down
@@Laland_1196oh..so like federers serve let him down so many years
@@jer8279 Federer served aces many times ..his serve is not poor like Rafa and Djokovic..don't give lame execuses..rafa the better player than Djokovic and fed but injuries made him to stop by 22 slams ..
@@Laland_1196 Rafa is not a better player, that is literally nonsensical. All the facts go against your stance
What a draw that year’s AO was. Same with 2011.
Djokovic won plenty of fake slams in rafa's absence

@@pauloeconomista89813 rafa with gold medal still true 🐐
Djokovic is 3rd in the race behind Great roger
What a match....😮
that hurt.
Recuerdo esta época del tenis. Era prepararse algo de comer y sentarse a disfrutar de una final entre Roger y Rafa. Siempre apoyé a Rafa pero ver jugar a ambos se disfrutaba mucho
Semi final not final
@@quangle6854 me refiero a la época llena de finales entre ellos. No a esta semi en específico
AO 2012 is the best GS ever. I never see so many great matches in one tournament
Those passing shots are out of this world
I like the BIG3 games of this era the best.
At this time, Rafa's footwork had already dropped and Roger had lost the movement and the Dangerous Forehand that he had in his prime.
But both players should be technically better players than they were a few years ago.
Rafa's ball distribution in particular would have been much improved from a few years ago.
The BIG3's game was most attractive in this era, when they did not rely on their sturdy bodies and chose the right shots.
Y volvió a ganar en el 2021🙏🇲🇽🫂💯🤗
The fact that it’s like 1.5x actual speed during the rallies is pretty distracting tbh
I'love Nadal.
Extended highlights?? 9 min???
Federer played extremely well. I thought his level was higher against a very game Roddick, who is an all time great, in the semis. He brought a similar level in the final and had his chances.
Who misses federer
Fed didn't win much in 2010s decade. He just stayed in the tour somehow. 2011 he had 16 Slam, 2021 whn he retired he added just 4.
The big 4 into semi finals.
Sad how Roger was 0-3 against Rafa at the AO until 2017. He just couldn’t hang with Nadal earlier in his career.
Cause of his weak backhand
The court speed in 2009 and 2012 is much slower than 2017 too that makes a difference
lol @ dewman: salty Fedtard
@@dewman7477it is slightly faster yes. But Nadal’s noodle serve was a joke, Federer should never have lost to Nadal on any hard court.
@ Mark: if it was such a noodle serve, what does that say about federer that he can’t attack it? lol. Your knowledge of tennis is poor if you can’t see why Nadal’s serve is so difficult to attack. But it’s fun watching you squirm
The camera is on a slight angle and it’s bugging me.😂
Thanks for pointing that out - can't unsee it now!!
Juegos pasados ahí quedaron en la historia pero el número 1 del mundo en logros y títulos de Djokovic les guste o no con esas repeticiones les van a dar un título 😅😅😂
Anda a ver sus videos entonces 😂
People talk about Great sports people throughout history if they could choose they would like to go against each other. In tennis for me though its the one that could have happened that never happened. Nadal vs Federer US open final.
Outside the French open, this was the best match Rafa ever played against Roger I think. Better level (not better match) than Wimbledon 08 or Oz 09.
Roger tennis is so beautiful, although not the best
"Extended"? Yes, sure...
How Roger got owned by Rafa on AO 2009, 2012 and 2014 is beyond my mind, he should have won some of those matches based on his favorite surface, at least he didn’t fold on 2017 but he could have more GS winning those matches
Rafa is just better on outdoor hard courts.
@@yussepig6629 No he's not. Federer has won 6 AO and 5 US... its just that Nadal was better than him on those days and has always been a difficult match up for Federer. But the swiss is the better hardcourt player.
@@yussepig6629 the only reason Nadal could ever compete with Federer was because he played left-handed. Nadal is a one trick pony and has the worst fundamental tennis skills of the big 3. Nadal is by far the worst of them on medium or fast courts, since grinding doesn’t work as well. The reason he had success against Federer was because Fed’s backhand was easy to exploit by Nadal’s moonballed forehand and because Fed lacked mental strength. Nadal is an inferior player to both Djokovic and Federer in pure tennis skill. Nadal wouldn’t even have 5 grand slams if he wasn’t left-handed.
@@HornyGatesagree, see my above comment.
@ Mark: your pain has made you blind lol , love it !

Hola
Dearest fedal fans.. you all must understand why the fans of Novak are like they are..
if you remember he was playing since 2008 ( I mean grand slams wins) and almost every time , when he was praised, fedal would come and say he is not the greatest because he is not yet reached 20 grand slams ...
now that he has crossed 20 (more than everybody else) the same fans say all that does not matter because he is not popular..
how else do you expect the novak fans to react??
You fedal fans were very toxic before .. now you must face the backlash......
Because novak has pretty much closed the chapter for the GOAT title as of now
Pelé é o rei do futebol mas Messi tem 8 bolas de ouro , isso se chama esporte
Nadal sempre dominou o tênis, novak veio ganhar depois que nadal cansou , infelizmente o físico de nadal é muito inferior ao de novak
Djokovic is a weak era champion.
@@stuewz That makes Nadal even worse, since they are in the same era
No one denies these two are legends..
.
But if you any of you think they are the goats, your are delusional...
Stefanos , Medvedev, kyrgios Andy rodick .. They have all played more tennis then 7 generations of you fans have ever played ...
if they can accept that novak is the goat + all his statistics and numbers , if you people still say otherwise it means that you fedal fans are delusional and basing your statements on feelings not facts
2 past Goats
Federer not only won 20 slams with one-handed backhand, but also turned tennis into creative art, he has all the skills, and make it look incredibly elegant and easy, like mj in basketball
Although I prefer federer, but I do hope Novak to win the 25th slam.
their personalities and playing styles are staggeringly opposed. yet they're each other doula. (especially roger) 😂
Imagine Federer in his prime....
He was 30 years old here - and winning grand slams years later. He was absolutely in his prime at the time of this match. He was probably a better player here than when he was dominating the sport between 03 and 07. Just the opposition got better.
@@michaelfoley906 Absolutely spot on
Federer should have won Fedfans??
The reality is that Novak has won more than every body but he will never have this Aura
In the opinion of western media and some fans. For me Novak had easily 'this aura' too.
@@karoldettlaff5345 Lol, you people always need to put this on western media's fault. It's just a fact that DJokovic was 3rd almost all his career. Grow up
@@stuewz yes, 'we people' always notice that the opinion of western media is not the opinion of the rest of the world. I would agree that it's a sign of maturity to notice that 🙂🙃😉😁
@@karoldettlaff5345 You people suffer from inferiority complexes and that’s sad.
@@stuewzKeywords: WAS. Djokovic IS the best of all time and will FOREVER be better than Nadal and Federer.
I have seen you claiming they are out of prime after 2014😂😂, whatever helps you cope.
NADAL Y Federer son los Mejores 🇲🇽🫂💯🤗
24 > 22 > 20
Haha, its crazy how salty these novak fans are these days 😂😂😂 you will find them under every rafa and roger video, maybe they are sad, that novak is not that popular
24 > 22 and 20 cry more
It was much more crazy that, before 2023, under every Novak video you will find Rafa and federer fans.
It never ends. They are so pathetic and jealous. They can’t seem to just respect the other players and enjoy the sport. They take all the fun out of watching the beautiful sport of tennis
Particularly of the Serbian variety. I've noticed a lot of them with a chip on their shoulder, have this weird inferiority & persecution complex. They think "the west" won't give them a fair shake. Whenever the world thinks of Serbia, all they can think of is Novak Djokovic and crimes against humanity. It's almost like their entire personality & national identity is wrapped up in Novak's success on the tennis tour, living through him vicariously. That's why they screech about biased commentators and weak eras everywhere etc. Any perceived slight, criticism, or just generally not sucking off Novak 24/7 is this massive conspiracy to personally insult them. Reality is, nobody cares, people just wanted to watch great golden era tennis. As much as I hate this expression, but Federer really does live rent-free in their heads.
@@user-ex1iq3hq2zi won't cry. He's still an arrogant baseliner
Vomas 💪

Dêh que la vrai concurrence est arrivée, federer s'est perdu à partir de 2010 remportant que 4 chelem de janvier 2011 à sa retraite en 2022 et ses fans le comparent au dieu Djokovic. Le seul vrai rival de Djokovic fut Nadal car je reconnais que c'est un vrai guerrier
Abuse pas sérieux ils se sont affrontés 50 fois et il y a 27-23 pour Djokovic.
Federer a bénéficié d'un Djokovic jeune au début et Djokovic a bénéficié d'un Federer un tout petit moins en forme qu'à ses débuts dû à l'âge même si la forme et en tout cas le tennis proposé par Federer en 2017-2018-2019 est plus impressionnant et fort que celui entre 2012-2016.
Bref, même Murray a été un bon rival de Djokovic donc tu ne peux en aucun cas considéré que Nadal était le seul rival de Djokovic
@@ijump-bounce2283 Murray ? Ne blague pas frère car Djokovic a plusieurs fois saigné Murray en grand chelem. Murray n'a que 3 GC donc il peut se comparer à wawrinka Dominic thiem et consorts
@@dimalagiannis8740 Merci de montrer ton inculture, Murray a 11 victoires contre Djokovic pour 25 défaites, Wawrinka en a 6 pour 20 défaites.
Murray a 3 GC pour 11 finales perdues, et il a 14 M1000, Wawrinka a un seul M1000.
Wawrinka a 12 victoires face au Big 3 pour 62 défaites, Murray a 29 victoires pour 56 défaites.
Ah oui et Murray face à Federer c'est 11-14 et il dominait au tout début, alors que Wawrinka c'est 3-23 contre Federer et en plus tu dis que Murray se compare à Thiem, encore plus débile de dire ça (merci merci au revoir allez)
@@ijump-bounce2283Djokovic a privé Murray de plusieurs finales et trophées en grand chelem donc ceux qui parlent souvent de big 4 se leurrent parce qu'il n'a jamais existé.
@@dimalagiannis8740 Je n'ai pas évoqué le Big 4, et Murray est dans une catégorie à part, pas assez proche du Big3 mais largement devant tous les autres joueurs, Murray a tout de même battu Djokovic à Wimbledon en 2013 et à l'USO en 2012.
Même Wawrinka le dit lui-même en 2016 avant qu'ils chopent chacun leur 3ème GC que Murray est à des années lumières devant lui même si l'on pourrait penser le contraire car ils avaient chacun 2 GC à ce moment, tu sous-côtes Murray énormément tout en sûrcotant énormément Wawrinka voire même Thiem en termes de palmarès.
À t'entendre tu vas même nous dire que Cilic est dans la case Murray alors qu'il s'est toujours fait éclater par le Big 3 sauf une fois en 2014 où il bat Federer à l'USO et Nishikori écarte aussi Djokovic, c'est arrivé limite une fois seulement que le Big 3 + Murray étaient tous écartés.
Un Wawrinka reste tout de même largement plus proche d'un Tsonga/Thiem/Del Potro que d'un Murray dans le fond, face au Big 3 Wawrinka s'est complètement fait trouer et a juste eu des coups d'éclats au bon moment, à titre de comparaison Tsonga a 16 Victoires contre le Big 3 pour 39 défaites dont 6 victoires contre Djoko, 6 contre Fed et 4 contre Nadal et a 2 M1000, personne dans l'ère du Big 3 (+ Murray) a chopé plus de 2 M1000, Tsonga est meilleur que Cilic Berdych Thiem Ferrer Wawrinka Fognini Isner Soderling dans ce domaine.
Sad when Nadal wins. Great player, don’t get me wrong, but it’s just wrong for a man to grunt in tennis.
novak is better lmao
Sorry idemo this is not the video for him cry some where 😂
Pathetic human. Try to enjoy the sport
@@Laland_1196I mean he won the tourney tho so it’s objectively true lmao
Cry more😂
저는 페더러의 테니스를 더 좋아합니다
So freakin' hilarious to watch fedalitas as triggered as they are in this comment section 😂🤣🤣😂
Novak would have wrapped up in 3 sets....roger weak era player lol
Don’t be so pathetic. They’re all great players. You can learn to respect and appreciate all of them, hopefully
imagine you say that the Player who beat the shit out of Agassi, Sampras, Rafa (not on clay), young novak and barely beat at his peak at the age of 38, is weak. You should grow up. I dont like Novak, but respect his tennis and would never post this bullshit
Clown. You ever play tennis?😊
did in 2011
Novak would lose to both at this level. Plus his style is dull
AO wasn't fast court anymore since they turned it to blue color in 2008. it definitely favors for baseline grinders like Nadal and weak era champ Djokovic
Surfaces are almost the same. The fact that surfaces got slower is usually an excuse for Novax fans to justify their 2 uso losses to Rafa. I have seen it so many times in the comments 😂 Even Alcaraz says uso is faster than indoor basel for example
The AO got faster, actually. Check out the CPI ratings.
@@costantinotzartzas3697you on drugs? Check out the CPI rating for US Open vs AUS open. Aus open is considerably faster. Nadal has 0 wins at Shanghai, Paris, or ATP finals (generally very quick courts). Novak had a combined 18 titles at all 3.
Weak era champ Djokovic ahaha yeah and they keep saying Novak fans are the worst ? You're worse than many of them
Djokovic has 7 Paris Masters and 7 ATP Finals, plus 7 Wimbledon’s, he’s objectively the most successful player on fast court Big Titles 😂
No wonder Federer is considered the weak era champ he couldn't beat Nadal even on the fastest court and also considering 2006 where to this fans is his greatest season ever or for that matter the greatest season for any player which itself sounds delusional, Nadal beat him 4 times in 5 meetings...Nadal did have his number and during Nadals best seasons in 2010 and 2013 Nadal was 1 1 and 4 0 resp...Nadal is just a better player than Federer....here he shows u why he is better
