That evening in Melbourne, Men's Tennis reached its peak.
More like midnight
This match is still the goat.
On a pure athleticism front yes it reached its peak with this match. Tennistically, not a chance, go watch Fed-Nadal at Indian Wells in 2017. Another level.
@@olivierd.5098 Tennistically? Lol
@@olivierd.5098 what level? Nadal just got hammered. Are you seriously comparing 2 setter to 6 hour epic. Fedtards are unbelievable.
This was 10 years ago, wow and they are still dominating and pushing each other to the limit.. Legends
Thanks to the pathetic tour, because they are playing at 50% of this.
Neither of them are dominating
This was 7th defeat in a row
@@mikerzisu9508 the ATP finals is played by the top 8 players in the world, one of these guys won the 2022 edition, he also won one of the two grand slams he participated in this year.
The other one won two of the four grand slams he participated in this year, that makes it three grand slams won by two of them this year. Last year one of them won three of the four grand slams played.
Please what do you mean by "neither of them is dominating????"
Novak is now dominating Rafa though and has been since this match.
People don’t realize that djokivic mental toughness was made from those endless battles with nadal
nadal created a monster
It started with NATO dropping bombs on their country - that's where Djokovic was created
Mental toughness is the greatest take away that Djokovic learned from Nadal. ❤
And his battles against Federer where he was always match point down
But they realize that Djokovic's mental strength was destroyed by Sinner :-P
Anyone here watching this after seeing Noke and Carlos final in cincinnati?
After watching this, after many years, the level of precision and intensity of Nadal and Djokovic playing in AO 2012 was on a completely different level. No comparison!
Only thing that comes close.
Yep , I have all his GS matches saved and re watch them time to time. His bh wasn't so good in Cincinnati as here but I put it down to lack of match practise on hard court since Wimbledon this year. When I see his back hand flowing down the line and cross court then he's unstoppable 🐐
to be honnest, this match was a peak in term of physical ability but not tennistically. See how Novak hit much more closer to the line now, go to the net.
To be honest this match was more about Novak choking tactically by refusing to go to the net and stop playing close to the lines combined with Rafa mental toughness than a close tennistically speaking encounter.
Watch the video and see the difference between set 2, 3 and beginning and set 4 vs the remaining. Novak was the better player but played very central which allows Rafa to turn around his backhand. Nowadays, it is a no match on hard court because Rafa is not as fast as he used to and because Novak is able to kill a point more easily not because he hit a lot harder but because he is more precise.
Also comparing Cincinati with the AO conditions is not fair as cincinati is a faster court than this AO and is also more exposed to wind. Thus, the precision of the shots can't be the same :p
This is the most epic match in tennis history! No doubt. They literally couldn't stand on their feet anymore for the ceremony. That never happened! Djokovic played 11 hours in just 2 days, 5 hours before this almost 6- hour match. Out of this world 👏💚
Wim 2008 so much better
"Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man"
@@TheDude7753 yes ik, both have an opinion :)
@@TheDude7753 But this two have a def style, i like the att style of Roger, its so much fun to watch
@@hetsahk Wimbledon 2014 was better than 2008
2-4 down fifth set, crowd against him and did a break. Just amazing
This was a TITANIC battle, when in sport they say ‘battle of the gladiators’ this is the true meaning…
No on ever will produce this again. Greatest match in sports history 🐐 🐐
The greatest match I’ve ever seen. The two best tennis players of the history. I have too much respect for this 2 guys. Idemo Noleeeee !!!
Still going strong 11 years later.
Fed > Nadal
@@probablypondering1657 Stats, Nadal >> Federer a while ago now. Last year just cemented it.
Rafa is definitely winning french open this year.
I dare anyone Stop Rafa winning french open 2023
@@probablypondering1657 I knew someone was gonna post Federer here, he has nothing to to with this highlights since he can only lose under pressure. Mr 15-40
This was some of the most brutal, violent tennis I’ve ever seen. Jaw-dropping stuff.
10 years after and They still dominate the GS
well, djokovic is
I have this match recorded and have watched it at least 50 times and it is always mind boggling how much effort was required from these two great warriors, This is probably one of only a few matches that one could say that it is a shame there could not be two winners.
Not a fan of Rafa but even I recognized it was one of those 'no loser here' matches.. one for the ages no doubt.
nah one winner is fine
For me, this is the greatest match of all time.
their match in 2021 roland garros was better in my opinion
@@spy4126 2nd and third sets were very very good. But in AO 2012 all 5 sets were like that 3rd set in 2021. Not even close, only Wimbledon 2008 final comes close to this match.

After Novak's 10th victory in this tournament, I just remembered this epic game.
I am proud that I was and I’m still part of the supports of this legend 🙏🏼
What about Federer?
Greatest match of all time. No doubt.
I feel like this was the most important and impactful win Novak’s career.
He must’ve thought If he can win against Nadal in that final, he can win against anyone.
Not al all. Djokovic was already able to beat Nadal multiple times in 2011, the year where Nadal didn't have any chance against Novak. Even Nadal lost two times on clay
By far the greatest match I've ever witness in my life between two gladiators of the game.
Djokovic's level in third set was incredible
He totally made Nadal look like an amateur
Its a crime it had a winner, its a crime it had a loser, its a crime if you were doing something else and not watching this match when it was being played. Two gladiators fighting to death. As a djokovoc fan, I had a good night's sleep, but felt bad for rafa. You can just play one match like this and retire. Its magic that these two are still the favorites wherever they play.
They were the age Zverev is now.
Two greatest tennis players of all time...goats
Nadal and Novak are in a league of their own! Their practically tennis gods at this point, while the others are mere mortals.
Novak recalls this match as the moat physically demanding match he's ever played. It really speaks to each of their levels
I remembered watching this one on tv. Simply an unbelievable match.
24 minutes of pure highlight. This says all
Bruhhhh... i watched this match live from the US, it ended like at 3am US time or something. I was blown away. Best match foking ever!!! On that day Djoko made a statement, by winning the match, that he was equal to Rafa and Roger.
Bruhhhh .. the match ended at 1.40am Australian time so how was it 3am US time? Add about 6 hours to that for the west coast of America and a couple more hours for the east coast, so your memory of watching this finish late at night sounds made up when it really finished mid morning US time on the Sunday :/
Bruh no it didn’t, you are tripping son.
This match decided the GOAT debate for me.
*This titanic match, the final at Wimbledon VS Federer (2019) and the Wimbledon 2008 final are the greatest match in tennis history.*
*Nole, the Achilles of tennis and the king of the Australian Open. G.O.A.T.!*
Add to this list Australian Open 2017 final
@@FacelessWarrior86
Yes, that too. Another great and epic match (Federer VS Nadal in that final), and the final of the A.O. 2012 (Djokovic VS Nadal). Masterpiece tennis.
@@FacelessWarrior86 no way, the level here is higher
Federer vs. Nadal 2008 is the peak of sport. Full of magic. Novaks’s tennis isn’t as exciting but he’s a great athlete.

Who is here after djokovic vs Carlos Cincinnati final
I swear had they continued into tiebreaks, Nadal and Novak should have been given swords, not rackets!
Best match i ever seen ....
Still astonishing to watch it unbelievable
Definitivamente este es el mejor partido de todos los tiempos. 46 Grand slams en la cancha, la final de slam más larga de la historia y en el tope de su físico.
Greatest grand slam final !!!
Someone stated "that night men's tennis reached its peak", but i would say that it was that whole day, Federer vs Nadal and Djokovic vs Murray in semis, this tournament was the last time we would see such a bracket
At that 2-4 break in the 5th set you would have thought Nadal will win it. He would have won it against any other player but he was playing Novak Goatkovic
Amazing battle of tennis. Both players are in god mode. Thank you for uploading the video.
I remember this game,absolutely insane
The all times Great - Djokovic
I have no words to describe this legend.
I remember myself watching the final set of this match. It was a real lesson of how life can change all of sudden. Nadal was about to win, maybe the most intense match he ever played. But then two or three points and it was impossible. This is the greatness of tennis, but also this is the greatness of two of the best athletes ever to step on a tennis court. The words said by tme commentator after the end are the best testament: in a world where "epic contest" is maybe overused, this was a show of pure strength, technique and courage. A truly historic moment, in the history of any sport
Yes it was a decade ago. Amazing turnement. Inspiring the whole 🌎. Thank you both Djokovic and Nadal. You are the greatest ❤ 🙌
El mejor juego en la historia del tenis, el mejor en polvo de ladrillo vs el mejor de la historia. Eres grande djokovic.
I already knew what the outcome was going to be, but my heart was still pounding as I watched these highlights. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MATCH!
When djokovic do a great point : huh
When nadal do a great point : can you believe this
Absolutely fantastic match! These two are never disappoint us to bring the best possible versions of themselves! Trully magnificent! Thanks AO for giving us a chance to relieve those moments! Much appreciated!
Fantastic match.kudos to both
This final was great, but more than that, this whole tournament was fantastic.
The semi-finals featured the BIG 4, each played by a causal combination (Federer vs. Nadal Djokovic vs. Murray).
And the two who made it to the final were truly two of the most iconic players of the 2010s.
In addition, the four non-BIG4 players who made it to the quarterfinals were also great players.
Ferrer, Berdych, del Potro, and Nishikori.
Nishikori was outside the top 20 at the time, but a few years later he became a top 5 player and was right up there with the other seven.
What a high-level tournament!
All 8 players have top 5 experience, having played in the 2010s.
Incroyable mais Vrai
Quel champion Quel courage Quelle performance
Novak est une bête, une machine
Le meilleur c tout ...c est le meilleur
💕✍🎾🎾🎾
Eu não canso de ver essa partida ! Pra mim, é o maior jogo que já vi, e de mais alto nível! Os dois maiores de todos os tempos !
For the last ten years , almost every time NAdal is about to face Novak on hard or grass, he get injured and doesn’t play against him. He had not beaten Novak on hard nor grass in 10 years. Nadal chooses to face him only on clay, we’re clearly he has the edge. But novak is no p#ssy, he still faces him even if he doesn’t have the advantage.
I want you to know that Nadal vs djoko head to head is 29 to 30 to djoko I think the 29 wins for Nadal is not only on clay and he don't know If he has the advantage or not . Just watch tennis and shut up it is not for comparing the players it is for enjoyment . And F...K any fan like you stupid fans
💯
They seldom meet on grass. Nadal's last win on grass was in 2007
@@user-zh3ek4cg8v l think they played 28 times on clay, so it's practically half exactly
@@menon_ji4984 Wimbledon 10
How can you not include the point where Nadal, in 5th set leading a break 4 2 and serving, had an easy finish at the net for 40 15 and an eventual 5 2 lead in the deciding set and... misses it! Instead it went from 30/15 to 30/30 30/40 and a break. That was a match point right there (probably, but we never know with Novak :) )
it would have been deuce had padal made that backhand he missed, and Nole would have still won that game because of his return, 100% sure he would have made up for the service game he lost in the previous game
Well you never know. Novak might have cheated with a fake injury and still won it anyways. There is a reason even after winning so much he is hated across the globe😀
@@rahulmehrotra4151 Nole never cheats unlike padal who actually does try to fool us by claiming he is seriously injured but never succeeds which is why he and his fanbase moan about us at NoleFam all the time

@@mohamedlahsini7416 Those are close contenders, but this match takes the cake for the greatest tennis match of all time. The stars perfectly aligned. We had prime Nole and prime Rafa in form without any injuries. It was to some extent a miracle. We won’t see another match like this again.
those were the peaks for both players, very classic match.
Masterclass. The two strongest physically and emotionally ever.

Big 2.Roger isnt the same level
@@nebi6597 RF 2005-2006-2007-2008-2009... He's era was different. Fedal was on another level at that time.
@@nebi6597 u kidding me? anyone who says this is so braindead. look at nadals slam distribution: 14-4-2-2. look at feds: 8-6-5-1. tell me who is more balanced. 6 atp finals to 0. nadal literally probably doesnt even come top 20 all time on indoor hard courts. hes not top 10 all time on grass either. federer has 2 more years spent ranked #1. i dont care if someone says nadal is better than federer, even though to me its pretty clear that if you have to pick someone, based on actual stats you pick federer. "big 2" what a load of bs lmao, thankfully not many ppl think that but man theyre braindead. its the same for people who say the "big 2" is just fedal or just fed/djok, cuz ive seen ppl say that too. and dont talk to me about head to head, fed leads on hard and grass. nadal just owns him on clay where they played way more matches scaled to how often clay is actually played in a season compared to hard court.
I think u mean big 2.
Novak showed them in 2011 who is boss. Still the boss in 2023.
Those were the best days of my Life ❤️
If they replaced Novak with Federer the media would call this the greatest match in the history of tennis (by far)... with him they reluctantly call it a great match
Still to this day Novak is undervalued
Novak owns them All. He will be sitting atop Mount Olympus when he's done winning his Slams.
Ningún torneo será igual sin la participación de estos dos grandes jugadores, DJOK campeón indiscutible de Australia, otro más a su cuenta. NADA todo entrega.
What's insane about this match is the level of tennis at the end. I mean they could barely move or stand afterwards, but were 1000% to the end. Rafa having that break at the end when he looked empty, and the point he won down 15-30 in the last game was just insane. Also at 5-5 with Novak having the AD, Rafa unleashed a really good first serve that Novak just nonchalantly returns, just incredible. Then when it looked like Rafa would break back in the last game, Novak digs deep. I have never seen a match that intense all the way to the last point. It truly is the greatest match ever. I don't know how they played at that level at the end.
16:57 how the heck did Novak dig himself outta that hole after 4 hours of play I don't know but it's beyond reason!
In one tv show with Spice Girls,Novak spoke on that like an out of body expirience on the court.Higher Force he called it.❤️🙏☀️🌙🌎🌌
@@user-oq9iu3eh5p That must have been wild feeling to let Nadal off the hook at first and then tighten up to beat in 5 sets. Mental tower

Che meraviglia,che incontro,che intensità,che classe,che campioni...unici,leggende...
3rd set was remarkable for goat , pure joy to watch this! Incredible match amazing victory by Novak!
This was the match after which Nadal fans hatred for Novak grew 1000 times harder. Novak already gain quite a good number of haters when he defeated Federer at the 2011 US Open finals. Novaks only fault was that he defeated their favorite player. Crowd, Commentators everyone wanted the flesh of Djokovic, crowd did their part by changing the momentum every way possible in the favor of their favorite player but as always Novak came up on top and owned the crowd.
🤓
You Djocovid fans are always playing the victim lmao. Maybe we don't like Djocovid because of his entitled attitude and the way he acts on the court. Does it suck when he beats Federer? Yeah, but that's not why I don't like him.
@@TheGodsMustBeCrazy SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE HOMIES IN THE BACK 💯
Back in the day the media used to try and brainwash everyone into thinking that Nole was the villain, and that there was only the big 2 until they couldn’t deny it anymore. 😂 I mean the fact that a press reporter once asked Nole if he feels like the villain just says it all. Nole is actually the most nice and down to earth person out of the big 3. So glad I came to decide who I liked the most for myself over the years though. Nole will always be my favourite now after all the sh*t he’s had to endure. The greatest player to ever pick up a racket.

What you don't see is that injuries wore down rafa after 2014 and until then he was very much ahead in terms of h2h and title records.
You should be lucky that injuries affected his body fitness to great extent. And that is why rafa will always be the greatest player in tennis because of the warrior spirit he brought despite facing career threatening injuries.
He wasn't the goat yet at this moment, but this was the moment he ascended to goat level tennis
