@@kyledeacon5620 Forget this bs the guy above you wrote about weak era and so on. 2022 was one of the most competitive in recent years. And Novak was indeed the true best in the world. But first of all, when did he beat Alcaraz? And second of all, everybody knew as soon as we saw the final 8, that no-one really had a chance to deprive him of that trophy. Maybe Medvedev a bit or FAA! But none of the 2 were in good form. There were 2 players in the world that maybe stood a chance. One was Alcaraz himself (not so much cos indoors doesn't favor his game thus far) who got injured. Most of all, it was the guy that beat him in his own game (coming back from a set down and also a break down in the 3rd) in Paris final. Rune should've been in Turin, not Rafa the way he is now. It was a shame that he wasn't, cos i'm pretty positive he would do offer so much more than the Spaniard at the moment. As long as Rune wasn't in the picture, Novak really had no one that could actually hurt his title run.
@@mysticnomad89 Alcaraz met Djokovic only once, he was a new player and managed to surprize Djokovic on clay, and the match was very close in each of the three sets. Australian Open is Djokovic's kingdom, and a healthy vegan gluten-free Djokovic lost only one match at the Australian Open, in a close 5-setter against Wawrinka in 2014; Wawrinka is the player who has the perfect game against Djokovic, and he still needed 5 sets and 2 lucky unforced errors fron Djokovic on the last 2 points to win the match. Even a severe abdominal injury from the middle of the third round combined with the next best two hard court players (Zverev and Medvedev) didn't stop Djokovic from winning Australian Open 2021, at age 33. If a less experienced version of Djokovic (Jannik Sinner) managed to have a match point on serve against Alcaraz on a hard court Slam, what are his chances against a healthy Djokovic in his own kingdom? I saw the match he played against Rune in Paris. He played extremely well, but it was hard for him to close this tight match, he was struggling physically at the end of the third set - even this version of Rune couldn't win a best-of-five match against the Djokovic that played against him in Paris. Adiitionally, Djokovic kind of gave up the last point, which was the first match point Rune didn't double fault on. Maybe he thought Rune deserved to win the match and the title (he still managed to beat 5 top 10 players, the first one to do so since rankings were introduced), maybe he wanted to increase the chances of another future top player that will reduce Alcaraz's chances to break his important records. The only player who can threat a healty Djokovic in Australian Open 2023 is Daniil Medvedev - if he plays the perfect match from start to end.
0:25 quite sure this tremendous shot from nadal would be enough to put opponent into defence, but if the opponent is djoko this is an invitation to attack, another level of tennis, god mode from the serbian
I dont know how people don't rate Djokovics forehand, it's one of the best forehands in history. This match shows how much damage he can do with it, whilst also not making many errors on it.
A few years ago, GOAT was defined by only titles and records. But as soon as Novak broke almost all the records, they started including very subjective categories. Well, they are just too hurt that everything their idols have achieved has now been surpassed by Novak. By the way, I used to be a fan of Nadal and Federer's rivalry...
Its 97/98% actually...You have consecutive weeks at n1 belonging to Roger and Olympic medal gold for Rafa. Outside of that, maybe Rafa with his two digit record at RG but Novak has something similar in stack with AO, so yeah... Pretty solid 97/98% percent for Djole there
And if we include some stupid ranking decisions, and how djokos elbow injury ruined his streak, he would confidently have thise consecutive going for him...Unfortunate stuff happened, so he does not have that.
An Old Federer beat a Prime Djokovic in 2011 who had a win loss record of 70 & 6..He also bagelled Djokovic the following year...Imagine what a prime Federer would do to him....Any tennis fan with a common sense knows Federer loses to Nadal due to his top spin to Federer's one handed Backhand...
@@treacherous007 GS h2h Djo-Fed 9:6. GS finals h2h Djo-Fed 3:1. It is simple as that. By the way, in 2011 was Federer 29 , is it old? Finding prime Federer is like finding Nemo. He lost to Nadal in 2004 and 2006, he lost to Djokovic in 2007 on hard. He lost to Nadal in semi FO 2005. Nadal was not FO champion that time, he was just a kid, against your prime Federer. And I agree with you, Fed's backhand is weak in comparison with Djo or Nad backhands. Please try better excuses next time...
What's Djokovic's GS finals h2h record against Wawrinka again????By your logic..Wawrinka is a better player than Djokovic......Im guessing you just started watching tennis this decade..cos any knowledgeable tennis fan would tell you a player's decline start at 28 in the tennis world...They don't win as much as they do during their prime years...You get few late bloomers here and there but most players on the tour after the age of 28 start declining ...Federer was 2 months shy of his 30th birthday and his opponent was a 24 year old Djokovic fresh of a 40+ winning streak.......Federer was a kid when the 7 time wimbledon champion lost to him...Welcome to the wonderful world of tennis when an upset can occur from time to time.....
Man, I saw this and a still don't believe it, this level of hard hitting, almost like a robot... This can't be possible, I feel offended that people are still arguing and debating about the GOAT... Probably they do it about people that live on this planet, because, Novak Djokovic comes from another one!
djokovic jugando al nivel más alto posible en el tenis a sus 29 años... y la gente decia que federer a sus 29 años estaba muy viejo y por eso no ganaba tanto como antes... pfft
Possibly the highest level of tennis that Djokovic ever played at. No version of Nadal, Federer, Murray and Wawrinka would beat this Djokovic. Absolutely insane.
I wouldn't really call Nadal poor, this is sports, you win some, you lose some. Nadal did the same to Djokovic during the 2020 RG Final. They are both great players, Rafa is better on clay, Novak is better on hard.
@@pacifist1360 Nadal has not beaten Djokovic away from clay for 9 years grass or hard court, on a hard court Nadal has not even won 1 single set in 9 years whereas in that time Djokovic has beaten Nadal twice at RG.
man, this cold-blooded terminator was so locked in to perform his best, as a result, a player as great as Rafa could only got 3 games. Rafa or his fans would not like to re-watch this match.
10:47 check rafa's reaction to the hawk-eye. he's suggesting he couldnt see the ball at all during the point. that's how hard novak hit that furious overhead forehand.
Pure example of skill and talent from Djokovic. On the other hand Nadal showed that if this was a slower surface maybe he couldve won more gems, but still not a match. Nadals game is physical and more based on opponents skillshot. He will never be a better player then Djokovic.
That moment of the video stood out to me too. Like I watched the serve and he so effortlessly got it back in then you think that was perfectly on the line AND had an incredible spin, that would be such a hard serve to return, and not only did Djokovic pre-empt it with his movement but he placed it perfectly... Incredible stuff. It's moments like these that lead people who are ignorant to say watching him is boring... when they can't just appreciate that the beauty is him dismantling opponents and making them look 20-30 rankings worse than they are. It's incredible.
Djokovic slams many winners: silence Nadal scores one: "YES!" 6:05 Nadal shoots out of the base line and challenges: while the ball is being declared out, the commentator was saying "IT'S LINE, BRILLIANT!" 7:40 Djokovic smashes a terrific return/winner: "OH..STOP IT" says the commentator... 7:52 Nadal and another winner: "WELL DONE RAFA!" 8:05 Djokovic winners: either silence or "AGAIN DJOKOVIC READ IT" or "THERE IS A RUTHLESS STREAK WITHIN DJOKOVIC AND HE HAS TO KEEP IT GOING HERE.." WTF!!!!! They sound bitter and disappointingly surprised... The french version is full of "olalala" and adjectives of astonishment, they are amazed by the performance, while these guys seemed to be Rafa's family... biased to say the least
I mean they were definitely biased against joker, but at one point they started laughing, cause Novak's performance was so good. Even I was laughing throughout the 2nd set. This performance is just unbelievable. Even Nadal said in post match that he's never seen someone play like this.
Djokovic played the highest level of tennis of all time in this match. In this match Djokovic played at a much higher level than peak Nadal at his highest level and peak Federer at his highest level. No player is ever going to equalise and no player ever is ever going to surpass the level of tennis Djokovic played. Literally every element of the game he played perfectly. Could have easily been 6-0 6-1/6-0. He had the same amount of winners as Nadal had points. 53% of points Djokovic won were winners.
Highly disagree - beyond prime Federer bagelled Djoker before, and his instincts were overwhelming. Djoker's defensive wall and return is great in this match, but I think only peak Federer (on his best stable mind) offensive relentlessness has potential to find the cracks.
As a Muslim it's hard to admit the achievement of a Serb due to the politics and all but damn Novak Djokovic is good. It's even embarrassing comparing him to Nadal. Novak is the GOAT and anyone that denies that is simply biased and not basing it on performance on the tennis court.
Quel match fantastique ça prouve que Le patron du circuit ATP... Le meilleur . Le Goat. Le plus fort Le champion c Le serbe ,il é exceptionnel . Un sportif hors-pair Bravo Djoko. Félicitations 💕✍🎾👏.
This match has been one of my main points when describing Djoko as the GOAT even before he reached the GS record, I think a big thing to consider is highest level of a player, I like to think of it as if each of the big 3 versed each other and all played their absolute best who would be victorious, and I feel this match is a good reference for that person being Djokovic, yes you can argue Nadal has had some great performances on the dirt but I think across the board this match really showed the complete and utter dominance Djokovic had over high level Nadal, and has had in other matches too.
When Novak's forehand is on.. Which is not always the case, then he becomes a ruthless dictator... Even on his worst days his backhand does the job for him.. But somehow his forehand is mercurial... But when its ON, he transforms into an all conquering, no weakness scary monster.. Nothing seems to get past him, none seems to escape his wrath. Extraordinary level that he gets to when his forehand is on song.
Actually cincinati and qatar hard courts are faster than miami and indian wells, us open and australia. Roger can beat novak on those fast hard courts.
…for Rafa…that handshake said it all…enough of just a beautiful…tactical and technical dismantling of your opponent…just left Rafa reeling…and feeling absolutely defenseless…😳😔♥️🌹
This match and the first 2 sets against Federer at the AO a couple of weeks after this match has to be some of the highest level tennis ever played. Ridiculous stuff
By the half of the match commentators started to get speechless and near the end started to laugh, like they could not belive how is this possible, Novak level lost them for words.
This match for Djokovic is something like bout vs. Cleveland Williams for Ali. In this moment Djokovic was the most devastating tennis player who has ever lived.
You know what the funny thing is, although Djokovic leads his H2H against Federer and Nadal, neither player has ever thrashed Novak on any surface, it's always been close, but Novak has literally thrashed both Roger and Rafael on many occasion. Shows that he is a class above both of them. And let me not even get into the fact that Nadal has no ATP Year End trophies and no Miami just to name a few. Just saying.
Every head must bow and every tongue must confess," Djokovic is the greatest ever and the Muhammad Ali of Tennis". Post this match, even Rafa confessed that, he has never seen a tennis level ever since the time he started playing tennis. Rafa after Doha 16': He has never seen anyone play at this level ever in his life time. Andy Roddick (so called rivalry of Peak RF) Post 2012 olympics: They are playing at very different level , than what he was used to be before (clearly before 2010). And then his epic comment of," First he takes your legs and than your soul". Medvedev post US 2021: He is the GOAT. Zverev post US 2021 SF" Djokovic is the GOAT with that stats. Pete Sampras ( the GOAT himself): With what he has accomplished over the decade, Novak Djokovic is clearly the GOAT. Stefano Tsitsipas post AO 2023: He is the greatest ever to hold a racket. Nick Kygrios: We have sculpted a monster. RF is the most influential, but Novak is the greatest. Toni Nadal: "When we used to play against RF, we always had a plan to beat him, but in case with ND, you don't have a plan, even if you have one, it clearly doesn't work". Boris Becker: Novak is the GOAT. Goran: Novak is the GOAT. Every tennis stats is one sided now, apart from Rafa's incredible clay records.As per majority of top tier tennis pro player (only those who can stand on their words) regards ND as the GOAT. As per multiple tennis polls since 2018 session, every poll has atleast 51% vote with ND as the GOAT. I reckon and really wonder, who are this toxic creatures who spit shit on every ND's video or undertaking. You may have RF or RN as GOAT, but please be a tennis fan and spare the joy for us who are hardcore ND fan. STOP BEING SO TOXIC FEDAL FAN, please.

I will be clear that Federer plays perfect tennis that can be played more than anyother player he produces so many shots and there are some crazy Federer shots.but Federer is not consistent with his shots or his famous performances.And i don't think even at his peak he can play as intelligent tennis as Novak because Novak has highest mentality i have seen in any tennis player that is why he is the greatest player.the most of the titles Novak possess has come from turning the matches upside down i remember how hard it was for Murray to win Wimbledon against him and latter was trailing like crazy but Novak nearly destroyed Murray even that Murray was leading like sets Novak took match above hours and i can't see a machine that Novak is he will play you for everypoint in the most crazy Aderline way as possible the guy is a machine i haven't seen player like Novak even though I like Nadal more than Novak but Novak is crazy.

As a Muslim it's hard to admit the achievement of a Serb due to the politics and all but damn Novak Djokovic is good. It's even embarrassing comparing him to Nadal. Novak is the GOAT and anyone that denies that is simply biased and not basing it on performance on the tennis court.
its not embarresing comparing him to Nadal,they are both incredile by saying that you have no tennis knowledge
Complete pummeling of Nadal. Not many people can do this
Quel match fantastique ça prouve que Le patron du circuit ATP... Le meilleur . Le Goat. Le plus fort
Le champion c Le serbe ,il é exceptionnel . Un sportif hors-pair
Bravo Djoko. Félicitations 💕✍🎾👏.
He was amazing in this match, even better than now??
I wanna see the stats for the distance that the players ran in this match. I wonder how lopsided they would be.
This match has been one of my main points when describing Djoko as the GOAT even before he reached the GS record, I think a big thing to consider is highest level of a player, I like to think of it as if each of the big 3 versed each other and all played their absolute best who would be victorious, and I feel this match is a good reference for that person being Djokovic, yes you can argue Nadal has had some great performances on the dirt but I think across the board this match really showed the complete and utter dominance Djokovic had over high level Nadal, and has had in other matches too.
Never Federer, Nadal, Nalbandian or Wawrinka achieved this level.
Combination of power and accuracy
sometimes (jordan, maradona, bolt, senna, bubka, tyson and few others) sport become art, there is new entry in the club: novak djokovic
Nole hits Nadal. I've never seen anyone at that level. 🥶🥶
One of the perfect match on hard court for Nolé . The Greatest
The depth, precision, the movement. Basically a tennis robot design to play perfect, calculated tennis.
If it had been this version of Djokovic at the recent AO semifinal, Sinner would be crushed.
@@rksleungwell sinner doesn’t let Djokovic dictate the play tho , different ball game
This was prime Djokovic and not this one from 2023.
this is not tennis from planet earth. maybe the best tennis that can be played.
Novak on 🔥!
What a domination
nadal bowed to novak and pretty much always bows to him, but his fans never do.
great match..
great players
😉
Nadal’s 61 6-0 7-5 win against Novak in 2020 FO was far more impressive
@@yussepig6629Джокович король по статистики больше выигровал Надаля
As I recall, Rafa himself said of Djokovic here that he never experienced his level of tennis before.
Rafa was done here. This match hurt him a lot!
When Novak's forehand is on.. Which is not always the case, then he becomes a ruthless dictator... Even on his worst days his backhand does the job for him.. But somehow his forehand is mercurial... But when its ON, he transforms into an all conquering, no weakness scary monster.. Nothing seems to get past him, none seems to escape his wrath. Extraordinary level that he gets to when his forehand is on song.
Djokovic is too much on fast hard courts. Djokovic is the king of fast hard courts.
Are you forgetting his 5 Wimbledon, where he defeated the best grass courter Federer ??
* defeated federer in 3 of those.
You mean slow hard courts. The courts are mostly slow these days and even the fast ones have been slowed down like US open, Cincinnati, Paris masters
Lost hard court Slams to Wawrinka,Nishikori and Murray...Sounds legit...
Actually cincinati and qatar hard courts are faster than miami and indian wells, us open and australia. Roger can beat novak on those fast hard courts.
Djokovic leads in the total h2h. Djoko will go above nadal's 20 slams too. and dont forget novak has most weeks as nr 1.
10:34 look at this shot. Just look at it.
Otra paliza del mejor de la historia Nole sobre el hijo español 💪👊
2:18 best rally ever played? Amazing ball hitting, full power.
Que genio, Novak!!!!!!
…for Rafa…that handshake said it all…enough of just a beautiful…tactical and technical dismantling of your opponent…just left Rafa reeling…and feeling absolutely defenseless…😳😔♥️🌹
9:50 “Qué dices” hahaha, what a point from nole !
It just looked so easy for novak😂😂😂 what a game
Someone said that nadal was scared of novak in hard courts…… now i know why 😂😂😂
This match and the first 2 sets against Federer at the AO a couple of weeks after this match has to be some of the highest level tennis ever played. Ridiculous stuff
1 - 6 & 2 - 6.....and Nadal is the best player ???? Wrong adjective, it is 'CLUB' player.
By the half of the match commentators started to get speechless and near the end started to laugh, like they could not belive how is this possible, Novak level lost them for words.
This match for Djokovic is something like bout vs. Cleveland Williams for Ali. In this moment Djokovic was the most devastating tennis player who has ever lived.
One thing is pretty obvious in all these matches … the western commentators are blatantly pro nadal…. But pleased to see Novak shut these sycophants 😂
You know what the funny thing is, although Djokovic leads his H2H against Federer and Nadal, neither player has ever thrashed Novak on any surface, it's always been close, but Novak has literally thrashed both Roger and Rafael on many occasion. Shows that he is a class above both of them. And let me not even get into the fact that Nadal has no ATP Year End trophies and no Miami just to name a few. Just saying.
Haven't you seen the 2020 French Open, 3 straight sets from Nadal.
Djokovic is the GOAT
How sleepy the commentators were 🤣
Goat debate = over. agree?
4:54 nice opportunity for a selfie.
Beast...
Every head must bow and every tongue must confess," Djokovic is the greatest ever and the Muhammad Ali of Tennis". Post this match, even Rafa confessed that, he has never seen a tennis level ever since the time he started playing tennis.
Rafa after Doha 16': He has never seen anyone play at this level ever in his life time.
Andy Roddick (so called rivalry of Peak RF) Post 2012 olympics: They are playing at very different level , than what he was used to be before (clearly before 2010). And then his epic comment of," First he takes your legs and than your soul".
Medvedev post US 2021: He is the GOAT.
Zverev post US 2021 SF" Djokovic is the GOAT with that stats.
Pete Sampras ( the GOAT himself): With what he has accomplished over the decade, Novak Djokovic is clearly the GOAT.
Stefano Tsitsipas post AO 2023: He is the greatest ever to hold a racket.
Nick Kygrios: We have sculpted a monster. RF is the most influential, but Novak is the greatest.
Toni Nadal: "When we used to play against RF, we always had a plan to beat him, but in case with ND, you don't have a plan, even if you have one, it clearly doesn't work".
Boris Becker: Novak is the GOAT.
Goran: Novak is the GOAT.
Every tennis stats is one sided now, apart from Rafa's incredible clay records.As per majority of top tier tennis pro player (only those who can stand on their words) regards ND as the GOAT. As per multiple tennis polls since 2018 session, every poll has atleast 51% vote with ND as the GOAT. I reckon and really wonder, who are this toxic creatures who spit shit on every ND's video or undertaking. You may have RF or RN as GOAT, but please be a tennis fan and spare the joy for us who are hardcore ND fan. STOP BEING SO TOXIC FEDAL FAN, please.
Shat on Nadal’s existence, we love to see it 🤤
shat on ur mom 😂 250 masters 🥱 who cares
@@mysticnomad89 Still behind Novak in Masters titles, still hasn't won 2 masters titles while Novak has won them all at least twice, Never won the Tour Finals (biggest tournament after the grand slams) while Novak has won 6, Keep Crying 😎
@@pr-tj5by weakera champ novak accumulated stats in weak next gen era. never the goat for me
@@mysticnomad89 So you're calling Nadal weaker coz he hasn't beaten Novak away from clay in 10 years?
@@mysticnomad89 so when djokovic was losing to next gen in the beginning u balldal fans were laughing at him that with his experience can't get consistent wins against them, and now he's dominating them and winning against them like he has been doing against the past era, u come up with stupid excuse like u were doing from the beginning
Rafa was hapless,I recall,and did not play badly.Just that Djokovic roasted him ,here ,and in AO 19.Rafa did hit back in RG 20 ,though
This lavel of tenis, nobody, ever💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🍀🍀🍀 GOAT🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Djokovic 30-29 Nadal, i hope for a 60 th match very soon. (27/07/22)
Rafa has not won a set against Novak since 2013 on hard courts ... Match is way too much for him ...
Yes we have to see them play one final time.
This is for xhamster y tube should remove
🤣 Of course bruh
How much did Nadal owe him?
For the lesson.
720p quality you should be banned from youtube
Fatality..
NoVax the Serbianator is simply the goat
This is a'ss whooping!! 🤧🤧
Jokovic 💪💪
But guys guys guys, Nadal was injured here 🤣
Lets try the "Andromeda Galaxy" next 👾
Nadal had less unforced errors than Novak (11/13)
Lo redujo a la nada misma !
Ruthless
My Goodness!!!!
best performance ever for novak
I mean... He took Nadal's soul
I will be clear that Federer plays perfect tennis that can be played more than anyother player he produces so many shots and there are some crazy Federer shots.but Federer is not consistent with his shots or his famous performances.And i don't think even at his peak he can play as intelligent tennis as Novak because Novak has highest mentality i have seen in any tennis player that is why he is the greatest player.the most of the titles Novak possess has come from turning the matches upside down i remember how hard it was for Murray to win Wimbledon against him and latter was trailing like crazy but Novak nearly destroyed Murray even that Murray was leading like sets Novak took match above hours and i can't see a machine that Novak is he will play you for everypoint in the most crazy Aderline way as possible the guy is a machine i haven't seen player like Novak even though I like Nadal more than Novak but Novak is crazy.
This doesn't seem like the same aggressive Nadal from the 2008 Olympics match against Djokovic.
it’s obvious Nadal declined physically
Nor the same defensive Djokovic from 2008 OOGG.
2016 was one of his worst year and he is much worse physically since after RG 14
@@natoskull2 Djokovic gained very little from what Nada lost. Look at the video highlights. Any person with eyes can tell Nadal lost 80% of his movement
@@mysticnomad89 Nadal, cristal boy, always has any physical problem according to Nadalitas like you... time to stop that BS.
Without clay, nadal is barely good
Rafa's hair 😓
