Fed at this time would NEVER have thought this kid who only had 1 slam comparing to his 16 would now have 24 slams under his name and become the undisputed GOAT in tennis.
Out of Djokovic's 6 grand slam titles, this tournament was his best standard of tennis. The way he took out Berdych, Federer and Murray in succession without dropping a set was so impressive.
@@abdulhadikhan3744 I forgot I posted this 7 years ago, but basically Wimbledon 2014 which shortly followed might be the most significant grand slam win of his career. He went into the final against Federer, with a 6-7 record in grand slams finals, including losing his last 3 and 5 out of his last 6, plus also losing the 2013 RG semi-final against Nadal which was pretty much the de-facto final. He was already a great player of course, but had he lost yet another grand slam final that day, I think it would have been extremely difficult for him to put himself in the conversation to be one of the greatest if not the greatest. From that day onwards he has had a hugely impressive 13-3 record in grand slam finals.
Federer played ok - 2011 he was already in slump - djokovic was just playing great in 2011, recall though that only federer beat him convincingly at French
meditating010 Federer’s form from 2010-2013 is what ultimately will cost him in the final tally of GS’s. Nadal and Djok haven’t had a loss of form quite as lengthy as Fed did back then. He just seemed to lose matches in a similar sort of way time and time again. I think Fed and Djok stand alone when it comes to the GOAT debate, their levels of consistency are something else. But I’m sure Rafa fans could make a strong case too.
Aleksa Teemo no he wasn’t, this AO Simon takes him to 5 sets. Wimbledon and US open he squanders a 2 set lead to Tsonga and Djok respectively, a peak Fed wouldn’t let slip a lead like that. 2012 FO he has a peculiar loss to Djok in FO and then loses to Berdych in the QF at US open. So no, nowhere near his peak.
@Hugh Mungus tell me how can a guy play for hours running left right right left bending his back , twisting his ankle For hours without getting tired . Sorry nadal cant do that maybe on clay !!!!
Maybe one day we will know the truth . Too much money involved right now . Murray is the only guy im sure when he was in the big 4 to be clean . Djokovic case is so obvious . Diet yoga etc can help your body to be healthy but if your stamina is weak and poor even with hours of cardio it wont improve
@Hugh Mungus remember Melbourne 2012 5 hours against murray semi then 6 hours on sunday against rafa . How do u do that . Rafa was dead after this game . After that he made 2 finals us open and french open and semi at Wimbledon . He would have made 4 finals had he not being stopped at Wimbledon !!!!!!!! 4 finals . Why do he lose against lower ranking guys but he won mostly all his matches against the top four .
This match was a tight match, federer’s adrinaline rush coming at the wrong moments, thats it. 1st set was a tie break, in the second set, federer got broken while serving for the set. And in the third set federer got broken early, and djoker got broken back, it was a good match, not a superhuman match
The real start of federer getting older 30+ in 2011 thats why novak started winning because back then novak got lucky to get 1 slam in 2008 but he easily get destroyed by federer before fed hits age 30 13-6 easy win in favor of federer
4 things Novak did throughout his career against Roger & Rafa better than any other player in history! 1. make them hit more backhands then they'd like 2.dictate the rallies/ match more than they do 3. get them out of balance 4. outlasting them in the rallies! Those 4 things are so hard that he's the only player that managed to do so frequently!
9:10 I love that extended grunt from Novak. He came back from 2-5 down to win the set 7-5. He finished the set with his trademark backhand down the line winner. I love to see the fire in Novak's eyes after that point. 🔥🎾🇷🇸
Indeed, indeed!!... I consider this extended grunt to be iconic for a lot of reasons and I'll explain why: 1. It was a longer grunt as if he already knew before hitting the shot it was going to be a clean winner, and he knew indeed. 2. He came back from 5-2 in that set, and to do that against Roger, who was playing really well by the way, is remarkable. 3. He first became top 10 in March 2007 and already from July on that year was mostly established in the top 3. In other words, he'd been knocking on the door for quite some time. 4. But even so, he was still struggling with his health problems that would frequently cause him trouble... By the beginning of 2011, he had already figured that out by removing gluten from his diet. That was just like cutting off the chains and cuffs which were preventing a wild animal to run free. 5. At the same time he knew that shot was going to be a winner, it was also as if he was already aware of his potential to be one of the greatest (up until then he was far from it), and deep inside he knew that. All geniuses probably have kind of a gut felling about it. 6. To be at the top in that context was to challenge not only Roger, the best to ever have picked up a racket, but also Rafa, another giant. It is never easy to break through when there is already an established rivalry so iconic as Federer vs Nadal. 6. That grunt said: "I am here, I know my potential and I am going to prove it on the court, you'll see that happen" 7. Beating Roger in this match (more so than the final against Murray), marks the unleash of this beast with a racket named Djokovic that he became that year... and he went on to guarantee there would be this three-fold entity called Big 3: the Lion, the Bull and the Wolf.
This certainly is one of the best matches of 2011! You can see the Novak monster borning and growing in this match! Elastic and relentless defense, heavy groundstrokes, spead, gritty, mental toughness! I never saw Roger defeated in 3 straights with him playing in such a high standard the whole match! Roger created the Djokovic monster!!!
@@peka8391 I think he would never reach the level he played in 2011 or 2015-16 again but he has become so complete as a player that it makes up for it e.g improved serve, volley etc.
2011 is better than 2015 Nadal reached finals 10 times Nadal is beating each and everybody and losing to Djokovic in the end Nadal wants to repeat 2010 in 2011 but things didn't go well for Nadal actually lost 6 finals to Djokovic in 3 surfaces. Nadal was in Top form and 25 years old actually he wants to be best by winning 1. French open 2. Wimbledon 3. US Open like like 2010 Djokovic destroyed Nadal dreams completely he finished Nadal completely on grass that it became least favorite surface to Nadal after 2011 Wimbledon. He took 5 years to reach semifinals at Wimbledon. In 2018 Nadal wants to be goat by being best in 3 surfaces winning major titles It got slowed down because of Djokovic In winning major titles Djokovic ended Nadal outside the clay since 2011. 2011>2015 for me Federer played great but at least but did he reached 10 finals in 2015 like Nadal Federer didn't win major title in 2015 But Nadal won French open title in 2011. 2011>2015
Back then in 2011 who would have thought that this young Djocovic might equal the number of grand slams with king of tennis RF. It is absolutely stunning to see the journey of Djocovic until today with players like Nadal, Federer, Murray, Wawrinka, Delpotro, Medvedev, Rubluv, Dominic Them and he is fighting to be the best. Great inspiration.
The way Djokovic plays against Federer when his back's against the wall is unbelievable, from 2011 all the way to present. As an unabashed Federer fan, I still have to admire it.
You kidding? I'm a huge Fed fan and I love that match-up. It's a classic, and they've had some epics at the Grand Slams, especially Wimbledon. I don't ignore Rafa's superior record over him though. He's definitely got how to play Rog figured out!
Always fun to rewatch this stuff. Djokovic had 1 GS, Federer had 16. Had Djokovic ever imagined that he would win at least 22 more? Federer would've never believed it, I bet it. Sheer will, determination, talent, hard work and belief in oneself. As if he was destined to.
Federer juega mejor. Pero djokovic es un frontón. Una pared de frente. Como decir es un nadal pero mas talentoso. Pero para mi en mi opinión eso no quita que federer juegue mejor. Eso
I wouldn't say he played the best he ever has. Definitely not poorly though. The main issue with 2011 Fed was that he was kind of fat until the clay season came around lmao.
This is probably the dumbest ever comment lmao, a few months later, Federer on his worst surface proceeds to molest prime djokobitch in RG. 2011 djokobitch is the best HE ever played. 2004-2007 Federer and 2017 Federer, all forms of which djokobitch "coincidentally" hid from, would have used djokobitch like a toy just like prime Federer did in the US open lol
Just wait a bit ... when Djokovic continues to play until 2024, it will unfortunately go down, as he will not be as consistent as he was in his 20s and early 30s. Similar things happened to Federer ...
@@armstrongtixid6873 Similar things did not happen to Federer !! He’s never even been a year end No.1 since and has only held #1 for *25 weeks* since turning 30. Novak has held #1 for *105 weeks* and twice has been the Year End #1 since turning 30 Of course Novak is going to slow down! BUT.. Roger has done nothing in comparison to Novak or Rafa in their 30’s.
@@djfunkychicken Roger in his 30s had to play Novak when he was 24, same age as prime Fed. Of course he's done nothing in comparison, his old self played them in their prime.
@@casey4664 In 2007 Djokovic just turned 20 when he beat "Prime" Federer. He beat all top 3 players in one tournament and regained his #3 rank. Roger at 20 wasn't even in the top 10.. struggling to beat an old guy wearing a wig ??? Even at 22 his win rate % was still in the 60's Federer has lost 10 times to Novak while he was still in his 20's. But if you still think the age difference was so critical.. Ask yourself How good was Roger in those 6 short prime years when *more than 20* of the top 10 players were 6 to 12 years *older* than him. P.S - Nice to see Federer will be attending Agassi's 51st Birthday party.. they're so close in age.. so much in common
I've never seen Roger play some long rallies this good. But somehow Novak was able to handle it. Down 2-5 in the second set and then won 7-5? This guy is really a mental beast...
Я не думаю, что он умственный зверь, он как показала дальнейшая его игра всего лишь лучший в туре в защите. Как стена. И Федерер очень часто не мог пробить эту защиту. Рисковал, и как следствие ошибался. Да ещё в ключевых моментах. И это конечно же его нервировало очень. Что было как раз на руку Джокеру. Вот и вся его игра( Джоковича) отзащищаться, перетерпеть на задней линии, взять измором. Сломить соперника, заставить рисковать. Дождаться невунужденой ошибки. Сколько таких матчей он выиграл? На ошибках Федерера? Единственное в чем он превосходит Роджера, это в настрое и в психологии. В остальном Федерер сам ему все отдавал.
You fanatics seem to forget that in 2019 Wimbledon Federer controlled Djokovic with 14 more points, more aces, winning the long rallies, less unforced errors and at the end lost by missing the last point. And the man was almost 38 years old. When his most dangerous rivals are disabled or old he wins. In 2018 Federer reached 20 GS, Nadal had 14 and NoVax DjokeCovid 14. These 3 players were pros playing in the same tournaments. He started to win easy GS when the best players were old or injured. Alcaraz was injured and he won. Is easier to win like that. Between these.players Federer, Nadal and NoVax DjokeCovid in that order are the best of their generation. Novax has the best physique and the sickest brain. Number. In bad behavior and breaking racquets.
i bet Roger was probably thinking to himself “i played well and this guy decided to have the match of his life today” 10 years later and that guy has just won his 20th grand slam at wimbledon crazy to have witnessed Novaks journey to the top
Even on your best day, this guy can screw up your 🎉. Never seen anyone who could handle such pressure and come out winner in numerous occasions. Salute 🙏 to this Champ. Sir Novak Djokovic 💪. Keep going, keep winning.
When 2011 started ... Djokovic was considered a forever no.3 player... far behind FEDAL.. He has only 1 GS. The other 2 had many many more. But hats off to Djokovic to change his fortunes from 2011 and dominate an entire decade. 👏
@@thewhitewolf5645 he was exclusively gluten free until 2016-2017 or so when he switched to what he now calls "vegan based diet" even though he still eats white meat and stuff. That's what makes it "based' and not just vegan, exclusively.
@@ciprianghenghea7779 you are obviously out of your mind... comparing djoko and federer game style is pathetic... federer has 20 grand slams, much more than djoko boring vich have... by the way if you don t know... you are clearly just a djoko fanboy... nothing else...
Djokovic is the best thing to happen to tennis in the past ten years if not ever really freshened things up and others began to believe believe they could beat Fedal

Very very well said. I actually came back to watch this video specifically for this extended grunt because I also see the iconic nature of this moment esp in hindsight over a decade later. Federer and Nadal used to be mental hurdles for djokovic to overcome in terms of believing he could beat them. This grunt almost reversed that dynamic; from here on, djokovic became the man to beat that Fedal now had to chase after his diet change and mental fortitude training. In short, the wolf was born.
yea man well said. 2011 was the year djokovic unleashed the superhuman inside him and showed everyone who he is. I can't believe from then on he stopped federer in so many crucial games like he denied 3 wimbledon finals to roger omg then those 2 us open semifinals i still remember watching on tv couldn't believe. Most unbelievable is the fact he rose up to won a freaking wimbledon 2022 title omgggg after such a disrupting season lost to medvedev in us open final then he was denied aus open entry then lost to his top rival in french open qf.
2015 Djokovic > 2011 Djokovic. The shots were definitely there in 2011 but the difference is the mental strength and consistency of his game in 2015. He was almost untouchable - especially in the important points
Actuallly Federer winded this Novak up in 4 sets in RG few months after this match. Everyone thought Novak would break highest streak record but Federer broke many hearts that day.
@@atroxh7002 LoL what record. I am replying to his comment about how dangerous this Novak is, and I replied that how a non prime Fed dealt with him. Everyone knows Novak has the most impressive stats otherwise.
Nobody could stop Djokovic this year he was even to much for my beloved Nadal although Rafa I believe played Djokovic in Wimbledon semis or final and us open final Djokovic wanted revenge Nadal punished him 2010 us open Novak was to good I mean for goodness sake he's won every master 1000 more than once Nadal still hasn't won Miami or Paris indoor masters unbelievable
that is not the point. The point is that Djokovic, or even Nadal, will never be regarded as Federer is. They are fast, they're efficient, they bring back every ball BUT they do not create magic like Federer, they do not produce out-of-this-world shots like Federer. And to see how Federer brings Nole down, like at 07:17 is a real treat :)
+Ravindranath Sedidi Novak is top 5 all time and the only 1 who is genuinely rising. We should wait 5 years till the big 3 have retired to see who the real GOAT is.
I like voices of commentators how much they get excited when Federer winning points but when Novak doing something unseen ever on tennis court they were quite and speechless 😶.
As a Fed fan Novak was a monster in 2011 and Fed was playing well, the brutality in this match is beyond my comprehension of tennis knowledge , btw Fed wasnt even 30 and the only guy who stood up against Djoko in 2011 , Nadal ? he didnt stand a chance.
Fed was leading 5-2 in the second set and Djoko managed to pull it back to evens and WIN THAT SET! Well, that's nothing short of phenomenal. Djoko's 2011 will definitely go down as THE best year in tennis ever.
2008 to 2011 had some of the best tennis matches/moments ever... Nadal Federer rivalry- 2008 to 2009 Djokovic Nadal rivalry-2011 Djokovic beast mode-2011 Federer beating Sampras GS record-2009 Nadal 2.0 form- 2010 unreal
Along with 2015, 2019, and 2001... 2011 was one of Roger’s best years where he *didn’t* win a Grand Slam. He certainly didn’t play any worse than in 2010 at all. He was still the player in the spotlight that year but Djokovic started making one of his own and Rafa was getting back in his at the end of the year. I’d say it was the most even/evenly-matched year between the three of them!
@@NamTran-xc2ip he suffered injuries due to his own ultra-defensive style. you have to run after the ball all the time your body can't handle it, look what happened to hewitt, at 28 years old he was an old player, Novak is 36 years old and is number 1, Roger was number 1 at 35/36 years old. Nadal suffered injuries due to his offensive limitations.
@@ciprianghenghea7779 Again, you're part of the problem. I agree the fans aren't great, and with Federer having so many, the majority of the voices you hear will be fans of his. But by attacking them you're just adding fuel to the fire.
Now at 20 slams, begrudgingly they’re starting to say he may be the greatest player of all time lol. Fed won’t win another so he’s stuck at 20, Novak? Hahaha. Hilariously, his opponents are still cheered even though he’s top seed for 2 years & beating EVERYBODY. I knew it the second he arrived on tour, and now it’s real. Rafa may win the French again but hard to see him win any other. Novak on the other hand, owns The Australian & arguably Wimbledon, only the US open is trickier for him, but Rafa’s not going to win there again anyway.
And one of the best tennis season''s ever began .... the rest is history. It is a shame it took Djoko another 3 years after his first GS win (at the AO 2008) before he could sort out his alergy problems and related health issues. He would be holding the most GS titles by now for sure.
if djokovic had won every major for the past ten years he'd have 40+ majors, interesting how if things happened differently it would have different result
Alcaraz 2022 with 1 Slam is far less from Nole 2011. The way Nole handled the match was crazily clever. He used his intelligence to combat against the most natural talent Federer. That's how Nole is. Playing tennis like a fox!!!
Novak just became a monster...pre elbow surgery his strokes were sooo tight. Still good now but I swear back then more power along with amazing control
never saw a player display the court coverage, the speed, the return of serve, the ability to constantly pin his opponent deep, and of course that mental toughness like Nole.......he literally dismantled Roger Chokerer, just an amazing player......
Anyone who needs to be convinced who the GOAT is just needs to watch this match. Federer didn't play many unforced errors, Djokovic just played like a super hero. Unbelievable rallies and this match has convinced me. Novak Djokovic is the GOAT because he convincingly defeated the best of his generation.
The mental toughness, the Athleticism, the determination from djokovic to come back from 5-2 in that second set was unnerving to watch
Why didn't he just give up on that set to conserve his energy? He did just that at Wimbledon 2019

Just like Novak lost to Federer in US open 2007 final. Novak also played well but still lost in straight sets.
A straights sets win can be a closer match than a 4 or 5 set match tbh.
That second set 2-5 7-5 might have been the shifting point between Rodger's and Djoko's dominations. A transmission of the crown.
4 things Novak did throughout his career against Roger & Rafa better than any other player in history! 1. make them hit more backhands then they'd like 2.dictate the rallies/ match more than they do 3. get them out of balance 4. outlasting them in the rallies! Those 4 things are so hard that he's the only player that managed to do so frequently!
Lol true
soooo true
Against Nadal he hits flat backhands cross-court on Nadal's forehand ...
@@raedsakly2463 Makes no sense. Backhand from Djokovic cross-court is to Nadal's forehand.
@@brianmannion7097 it does... Nadal hates to receive a fast flat ball on his forehand....
9:10 I love that extended grunt from Novak. He came back from 2-5 down to win the set 7-5. He finished the set with his trademark backhand down the line winner. I love to see the fire in Novak's eyes after that point. 🔥🎾🇷🇸
Indeed, indeed!!... I consider this extended grunt to be iconic for a lot of reasons and I'll explain why:
1. It was a longer grunt as if he already knew before hitting the shot it was going to be a clean winner, and he knew indeed.
2. He came back from 5-2 in that set, and to do that against Roger, who was playing really well by the way, is remarkable.
3. He first became top 10 in March 2007 and already from July on that year was mostly established in the top 3. In other words, he'd been knocking on the door for quite some time.
4. But even so, he was still struggling with his health problems that would frequently cause him trouble... By the beginning of 2011, he had already figured that out by removing gluten from his diet. That was just like cutting off the chains and cuffs which were preventing a wild animal to run free.
5. At the same time he knew that shot was going to be a winner, it was also as if he was already aware of his potential to be one of the greatest (up until then he was far from it), and deep inside he knew that. All geniuses probably have kind of a gut felling about it.
6. To be at the top in that context was to challenge not only Roger, the best to ever have picked up a racket, but also Rafa, another giant. It is never easy to break through when there is already an established rivalry so iconic as Federer vs Nadal.
6. That grunt said: "I am here, I know my potential and I am going to prove it on the court, you'll see that happen"
7. Beating Roger in this match (more so than the final against Murray), marks the unleash of this beast with a racket named Djokovic that he became that year... and he went on to guarantee there would be this three-fold entity called Big 3: the Lion, the Bull and the Wolf.
@@davi.poiani wowowow!!
This certainly is one of the best matches of 2011! You can see the Novak monster borning and growing in this match! Elastic and relentless defense, heavy groundstrokes, spead, gritty, mental toughness! I never saw Roger defeated in 3 straights with him playing in such a high standard the whole match!

Djokovic destroyed Nadal mentally and emotionally outside the clay since 2011

Nadal reached finals 10 times
Nadal is beating each and everybody and losing to Djokovic in the end
Nadal wants to repeat 2010 in 2011 but things didn't go well for Nadal actually lost 6 finals to Djokovic in 3 surfaces.
Nadal was in Top form and 25 years old actually he wants to be best by winning
1. French open
2. Wimbledon
3. US Open like like 2010
Djokovic destroyed Nadal dreams completely he finished Nadal completely on grass that it became least favorite surface to Nadal after 2011 Wimbledon.
He took 5 years to reach semifinals at Wimbledon. In 2018

It got slowed down because of Djokovic In winning major titles
Djokovic ended Nadal outside the clay since 2011.

Federer played great but at least but did he reached 10 finals in 2015 like Nadal
Federer didn't win major title in 2015
But Nadal won French open title in 2011.
2011>2015
Back then in 2011 who would have thought that this young Djocovic might equal the number of grand slams with king of tennis RF. It is absolutely stunning to see the journey of Djocovic until today with players like Nadal, Federer, Murray, Wawrinka, Delpotro, Medvedev, Rubluv, Dominic Them and he is fighting to be the best. Great inspiration.
Djokovic's backhand was on fire there!
It's ruthless!
Before 2010 Nadal & Federer were the beasts, but since that day a monster is born Novak Djokovic.
Djokovic exist since 2008 actually as world no 3.
Damn, Djokovic just will not let this guy hit a forehand!
Makes sense considering Federer forehand is one of the best ever
The way Djokovic plays against Federer when his back's against the wall is unbelievable, from 2011 all the way to present. As an unabashed Federer fan, I still have to admire it.
4:10 omg ana ivanovic

God do I love the Federer/Djokovic match-up. Such good, aesthetically pleasing tennis to watch!
Me too it's my favorite matchup
Fed fans don't like the fed/rafa matchup for obvious reasons.. 23-10
You kidding? I'm a huge Fed fan and I love that match-up. It's a classic, and they've had some epics at the Grand Slams, especially Wimbledon. I don't ignore Rafa's superior record over him though. He's definitely got how to play Rog figured out!
Best rivalry ever. Aestheti tennis at its best. Way better than Nadal and Djokovic rivalry.
23-15 now.
Always fun to rewatch this stuff. Djokovic had 1 GS, Federer had 16. Had Djokovic ever imagined that he would win at least 22 more? Federer would've never believed it, I bet it. Sheer will, determination, talent, hard work and belief in oneself. As if he was destined to.
In the truth, Novak deserved have 27 slams, some slams were strange.
Federer never played this well and lost in straight sets.
Federer juega mejor. Pero djokovic es un frontón. Una pared de frente. Como decir es un nadal pero mas talentoso. Pero para mi en mi opinión eso no quita que federer juegue mejor. Eso
Lol what do you mean. 2017 Federer or 2006 Federer would have wiped the floor with this Federer
I wouldn't say he played the best he ever has. Definitely not poorly though. The main issue with 2011 Fed was that he was kind of fat until the clay season came around lmao.
I would say, "FEDERER, THE DESIGNATED LOOSER !!"
This is probably the dumbest ever comment lmao, a few months later, Federer on his worst surface proceeds to molest prime djokobitch in RG. 2011 djokobitch is the best HE ever played. 2004-2007 Federer and 2017 Federer, all forms of which djokobitch "coincidentally" hid from, would have used djokobitch like a toy just like prime Federer did in the US open lol
You could sense a different vibe in djokovic’s intensity in this match, finally started believing in himself.
2005 - 2020 :
Only player with 80%+ win on all surfaces

Roger at 20 wasn't even in the top 10.. struggling to beat an old guy wearing a wig ??? Even at 22 his win rate % was still in the 60's
Federer has lost 10 times to Novak while he was still in his 20's. But if you still think the age difference was so critical.. Ask yourself
How good was Roger in those 6 short prime years when *more than 20* of the top 10 players were 6 to 12 years *older* than him.
P.S - Nice to see Federer will be attending Agassi's 51st Birthday party.. they're so close in age.. so much in common
I've never seen Roger play some long rallies this good. But somehow Novak was able to handle it. Down 2-5 in the second set and then won 7-5? This guy is really a mental beast...
Я не думаю, что он умственный зверь, он как показала дальнейшая его игра всего лишь лучший в туре в защите. Как стена. И Федерер очень часто не мог пробить эту защиту. Рисковал, и как следствие ошибался. Да ещё в ключевых моментах. И это конечно же его нервировало очень. Что было как раз на руку Джокеру. Вот и вся его игра( Джоковича) отзащищаться, перетерпеть на задней линии, взять измором. Сломить соперника, заставить рисковать. Дождаться невунужденой ошибки. Сколько таких матчей он выиграл? На ошибках Федерера? Единственное в чем он превосходит Роджера, это в настрое и в психологии. В остальном Федерер сам ему все отдавал.
A lot of the turning point was the changing of the aussie open courts it used to play so much faster.
You fanatics seem to forget that in 2019 Wimbledon Federer controlled Djokovic with 14 more points, more aces, winning the long rallies, less unforced errors and at the end lost by missing the last point. And the man was almost 38 years old. When his most dangerous rivals are disabled or old he wins.
In 2018 Federer reached 20 GS, Nadal had 14 and NoVax DjokeCovid 14. These 3 players were pros playing in the same tournaments. He started to win easy GS when the best players were old or injured. Alcaraz was injured and he won. Is easier to win like that. Between these.players Federer, Nadal and NoVax DjokeCovid in that order are the best
of their generation. Novax has the best physique and the sickest brain. Number. In bad behavior and breaking racquets.

This was one of the best matches that I've seen both of them play! Despite the 3-0 score!
Djokovic is the best thing to happen to tennis in the past ten years if not ever really freshened things up and others began to believe believe they could beat Fedal

Very very well said. I actually came back to watch this video specifically for this extended grunt because I also see the iconic nature of this moment esp in hindsight over a decade later. Federer and Nadal used to be mental hurdles for djokovic to overcome in terms of believing he could beat them. This grunt almost reversed that dynamic; from here on, djokovic became the man to beat that Fedal now had to chase after his diet change and mental fortitude training. In short, the wolf was born.
yea man well said. 2011 was the year djokovic unleashed the superhuman inside him and showed everyone who he is. I can't believe from then on he stopped federer in so many crucial games like he denied 3 wimbledon finals to roger omg then those 2 us open semifinals i still remember watching on tv couldn't believe. Most unbelievable is the fact he rose up to won a freaking wimbledon 2022 title omgggg after such a disrupting season lost to medvedev in us open final then he was denied aus open entry then lost to his top rival in french open qf.
Definitely the greatest tennis grunt of all time. Truly iconic
2015 Djokovic > 2011 Djokovic.
The shots were definitely there in 2011 but the difference is the mental strength and consistency of his game in 2015. He was almost untouchable - especially in the important points
