It is without a doubt the best unfinished match ever
Of the last 10 years, sure. But I don't think any of us know *every* unfinished match in history, right ? So can we please stop putting "ever" at the end of every sentence ?
Its one of the best match ever. There are some points that contain the highest peak of tennis.
@@user-cy6xl3vd3fit’s gotta be over 3 hours for 2 sets
@@RAUL7487 When did you first start watching tennis? You have no business using the word "ever" to describe a tennis match. Knock it off.

"Peak of Tennis" 😂😂
It’s almost unbelievable how good Zverev was during this match. Even more unbelievable how Nadal won that first set, and stayed in the second.
imma tell you how, Zverev made numerous double faults, thats how
Nah Nadal was insanely unbeatable in this match, Zverev was hugely overplayed
Zverev choked
exactly@@thedanman6332
@@Luchon20082010 only at certain moments like the tiebreak, nadal was being outhit by zverev throughout the match and nadal often was not hitting cleanly.
I say this without exaggeration. It was the best match Zverevin played in his career. It's a shame it ended like this.
I disagree, both guys made a lot of unforced errors. It was more about Nadal not being at his best until the big moments. Bit of an overrated match, also Nadal was going to win 3-0
Some of his shots in that first set appeared so aggressive that it looked like strategy. He was going for it, especially with his backhand, and playing perfect attacking tennis. Nadal is a wall. Incredible that Zverev played that well and still caught an L in the first set.
i'd say 2021 us open semifinals and even his match before nadal at rg were better
Don't say that like it's a fact because he played better matches in 2021.
Either this or 2021 USO semis for Zverev. Shame it ended so bad.
The comeback by Rafa in the first set was absolutely unbelievable and inhumanly.
Unbelievable? Not to those who have been watching Nadal play the French Open for the last 19 years.
Truly bro, it is out of human limits really!! Nadal is some really different species
@@bubufubu Dude that's a dumb comment. Ive followed Nadal since 05 and he had no right to win the first set, down 6-2 in the tie break, he was full stretch to save a shot from Zverev that should have been a winner and then he makes a miraculous running cross court forehand winner and still managed to save all those set points. I don't care how many times Nadal has won the FO, that was an amazing comeback.
@@Romans8-9 imo it was more an amazing choke by Zverev than an incredible save by Nadal. The point you describe is the perfect exemple of why Zverev would never have won this match. --> very good forehand & didn't go to the net (he moved backward lol) then he waits a bit before hitting his backhand only to hit in the direction where Nadal is replacing. 2 errors encapsulated in 1 shot. At this level and especially against Rafa, you pay the price. Not mentionning the easy volley Zverev missed right before.
MVP of that tie break is Zverev mental weakness xd
@@iBearD14nonetheless that would be it for everybody except Nadal. Both the forehand and the subsequent backhand are top class. He didn't expect Nadal to return the forehand, that's why he stayed behind. Sure, wrong play, but that was an impossible get for 99,99999% of players. You may say Zverev should put the backhand to the opposite corner , seeing that Nadal is running. But man, he didn't expect to need another shot, nevermind Nadal unbelievable running passing shot. Nobody would even try to reach that second ball.
Till now I still don't know how Nadal managed to win the 1st set. He was down a break, had to save many more break points, was outplayed throughout the set, and had to come back from 6-2 down in the tiebreak. Incredible 😱
How come you didn't learn from AO comeback?
absolute things only a goat can do
Well Rafa has the most mental strength in the tour. I also can't believe how he handles the mental pressure.
This match was crazy, 3 hours and still at the 2nd set. Unfortunate ending to what could've been the match of the year.
Of the year? Of all time you mean. 2 hours and being in the second set is unseen
HAHAHAHA OHHH MY GOD
Of the decade I would say
You just must feel incredibly sorry for Zverev. He played incredibly well and had a big career in front of him. I wish him all the best in the upcoming finals and hope to see him perform on his absolute best.
The fact that he made it to the world tour finals again this year shows what kind of player he is. And he just won his 1st match there
Today he finally performed at his peak level again! Glad to have him back. The more players playing the best level of tennis of their lives at the same time, the better 😍.
The stamina Rafa had at this age is astounding
Yes although he later admitted that he was pumped full of painkillers for this tournament. That's part of the reason why his body failed shortly after
@@kakashihatake1029 painkillers? Did he net dull the nerve in his foot somehow? How did that contribute to him tearing his abdominal?
@wave1468 his whole body is even more fragile than it was before mainly because of his choices to push his body past what it can take. RG 22 wasn't the first time but it was probably the most severe.
@@kakashihatake1029 How did he push his body? He’s always had that problem in his foot. And his foot problem won’t have any baring on how his abdominal tears
@wave1468 he pushed his body by taking being injected with those painkillers. The physical damage done by that was even greater because his body was numb to the pain for all that time. But in the end it was a move that backfired
One of the most heartbreaking moments in tennis imo. That yell....you can tell it wasn't just the physical pain. He was frustrated and angry he couldn't finish the match. It was such an astonishing high level of tennis for both of them.
Plus, the way the crowd gave Zverev a standing ovation after that is just so beautiful.
Tbh he deserves every bit of it and even worse he's a terrible person.... Karma
I was in the crowd, as a big Rafa's fan. But when Zverev yelled.. It broke my heart, it was a such amazing fight and it was so unfair it ended this way 💔
All of us were touched at this moment, the standing ovation was an obvious and natural reaction, well deserved for the show he offered during 3 hours !
The best match I've ever seen in my life. So sad it turned out that way.
watch Djokokvic Nadal SF Roland Garros 2021
@@nescobaj18 this match could be better than 2021 because in 2021 their 3rd set only epic but here the first set itself a tiebreak nailbiter
The, you haven't watched much tennis.
Nadal was incredibly passive in that match (his worst semi-final ever at RG, he went through thanks to his guts, handskill and luck) and Zverev had absurd moments of choke.
9:10 this stretch of points here where Rafa saves two set points is ABSURD. LUDICROUSLY GOOD SHOTMAKING
Zverev was hitting the ball so well, like a monster
yesss but RAFA IS THE MONSTER IN HIS KINGDOM
incredibly bad to lose the first set from zverev. well,.. his problem, not mine.
Zverev still played very uneconomic. Not finishing points where he had to.
Just imagine if this match went on for 5 sets 😮
would have been no juice for either of them in the final
Nadal would have won easily and Zverev would have choked with double faults
@@helloworld2054 🤣🤣
I still remember the way I jumped out of my seat when I saw Rafa hit that running forehand passing shot in the tiebreaker!!!!
9:10 only Nadal can do this 🤯
That was insane
The ball could have been kicked against the direction of the body
The greatest under pressure scrambling forehand shot of all time
the mind blowing thing is he's been making these shots his entire career, at the most crucial times with the highest amount of pressure, he's done it, again and again and again. Legend.
This is the longest first 2 sets to start a match! I was thinking back at the time of this match. This could last 6 hours easily.
outplayed from the baseline ( due to heavy conditions ) ... Nadal managed to turn the match into winnable match using his Supreme net skills , short slices , drop shots ,and genius passing shots...amazing match
Enfin il l'on mis en ligne je pense que si ce match aurait continué ça aurait été le plus grand match de RG et il aurait fait au moins 6 h de match
Oh oui
Till today I have no clue what would be the outcome of this match, sometimes I think Zverev would won it but I remember he was playing Nadal so
I doubt it. I believe Nadal would still have won. Zverev couldn't win the battle in his head. He had chances in both the first and second sets, but couldn't seal the deal.
@@damilareosunleke5507exactly, zverev lacks that killer instinct in majors. Otherwise, he has all the tools to be a multi slam champion
No he wouldn’t have 😂😂.
Nadal winning it in straights
Zverev is mentally weak, he would have choked anyway
maybe the best playfully claycourt match i ever saw. Every point was so hard to win under the roof
The level of tennis was poor, lots of chokes from Zverev and Nadal was incredibly passive due to the condtion and his condition.
The match is overhyped because of the titanic battle.
Nadal and Djokovic's mental toughness needs to be studied. He had no business winning the first set. I wish Federer had this kind of mental strength. He could have won so much more. Its unfortunate how this match ended. It could have gone both ways even though Nadal is the best on clay.
Nadal? Yes. Djokovic? Not so much. Nadal is on another level.
@@bubufubuclown comment. Djokovic has the best statistical comebacks of all time
@@kakashihatake1029 According to what Djokovic fan....I mean honorable statistician? Does it even take into account the quality of the opponent? You wanna talk "clowns"? That's the Djokovic fanbase, through and through. Biggest joke of a fanbase in tennis and perhaps all of sport. Also the most clueless as they _still_ don't get why their hero is disliked by the masses.
@bubufubu Dulltard exposed. Djokovic has the best comebacks for sure. Just look at Wimbledon 2019, USO 2010 and 2011, 2022 Wimbledon, 2021 RG etc etc etc. When Djokovic goes down 2 sets, there's a higher chance of him winning the match than losing it nowadays. When Nadal goes down 2 sets, there's a 90% chance he's going to lose
@@kakashihatake1029 So, this (*cough* bullshit *cough*) theory of yours is limited to a player being down by two sets? Is that the Djokovic fanbase's narrow minded definition of what constitutes a "comeback"? Doucheavic fan exposed. Let's see Djokovic have to end his season due to a foot injury, not play any tennis for six months, and then come back to beat Medvedev in the AO Final after being down two sets to none and 0 - 40 at 2 - 3 in the third set. Put Djokovic in Nadal's shoes against Medvedev at the 2019 ATP Finals, down 30 - 40 at 1 - 5 in the third set. Or let's see Djokovic tear his abdomen early on and still pull out a five set win against Taylor Fritz at Wimbledon.
Djokovic would have cracked and folded just like he did against Medvedev in the 2021 US Open Final, against Nadal in the 2013 US Open Final, against Nadal at the 2012 French Open, against Nadal at the 2014 French Open, and against Nadal in the 2022 French Open.
The King Of Clay. This was an intense match.
A really physical and sweaty match. Thanks for this RG
absolutely beautiful game !
and worhy to watch it whenever missing a inspiring match.
In today's match against Alcaraz at the ATP finals, Zverev fell and it looked like a replay of this horrific injury...
He needs to work on his lateral movement. These Spaniards know how to expose weaknesses in that regard
Today against Alcaraz at AO as well 😅
@@kakashihatake1029
I mean, the dude is nearly 6'6.
As a Rafa fan, I am happy Rafa won this. As a tennis fan, I'm disappointed we never got to see an ending to it.
Nadal at Roland Garros is a work of art, poetry in motion. The Mona Lisa of sports.
Simple wow! What an amazing match.
Love to see them both again, briljant match. Hope to see Rafa one more time, shine like a rare diamond❤
Zverev was so determined to win, but Rafa’s willpower is something out of this world
Zverev could be a very good clay court player because the main problems people face on clay is that the ball rise above the shoulder sometimes which makes it difficult to hit the ball . But Zverev is so tall that the ball rises only upto his waist which makes hitting easier. He has to be patient and know how to construct the points
If you never heard of RAFA and want to know who the guy is. 9:09 explains everything you need to know. ( Ok. not everything, but a lot ) or 20:23
20:23 is absolutely sensational, absolutely insane
Sasha's backand is amazing
The level of this is insane, especially the 1st tiebreak i didn't realise previously how well Zverev was playing
I was watching this match live while on a road trip with family tennis channel lagged and when I got it working again the match was over and I was confused then I saw zverev on the floor and saw the clip on twitter/x very unfortunate for him but he is making his comeback and I’m exited to see what he still has for us
I miss watching tennis....2023 is such a bore without Rafa
my eyes couldn't hold back tears for Zverev. what a beautiful match from him, till this day I root for him.
Can you make a video on Rafael Nadal 's journey at Roland Garros 2022 please ? 🙏🙏🙏🥺🥺🥺
Top tennis game among semis
This is one of these matches you can never forget if you lived it wether in real or not. Everybody would have loved to see the ending of this uncertain result.
Brillant play by Nadal and Zverev!!!
This seemed like a day Zverev could've done the unthinkable in this encounter, it had the ingredients to go down to the wire. Very unfortunate it ended the way it did.
It's not. Rafa proved that by winning the first set ..on the other hand alcaraz result also the same against Djokovic
Both where on a different level ..if we had the 5 set game chances where rafa could have lost his 4th match .just amazing game
Feel sorry for Zverev. It was really heartbreaking moment that I still can't forget.
When you see this match of Rafa, you can clearly say there is more than sport in the romance of Nadal and RG . Even if Sasha wasn't injured , it was impossible for him to win this match
I came back to watch this match after I saw the level Zverev displayed against Alcaraz. He was playing at incredibly high level for those 3 hours. Honestly I couldn’t believe that Rafa stayed with him at his age. Zverev could have beaten anyone on this day. It was just ridiculously amazing tennis.
It really wasn't, the only reason why he could keep up with Rafa was Rafa's poor physical condition during that tournament and the roof combined with the extreme humidity, Rafa's topspin wasn't kicking off and every single shots where at perfect size for Zverev.
This would have been the greatest match of all time!
The level from Rafa was poor, he won it thanks to his guts and handskill.
We can only guess what could've happened if Sascha hadn't injured himself in this match - it'll be tough for him to ever get back to the level of tennis he was playing that day, but right now he's probably closer than ever!!
Well, if that's the best he can do i understand why he has never won a GS, perfect condtions for him and still choked against the worst Rafa ever seen at this stage of the competition.
Not saying that i would've done better, but this match is incredibly overrated.
People can talk about Novak getting lucky against Carlos with the cramps, but Nadal was no doubt very lucky against a Zverev that was playing the better tennis on the day. How the German lost the 1st set is beyond me.
Because Rafa on RG is almost invincible
Very simple, Nadal was better on the crucial points. Yet again you made this about your master Djokovic. What a shameless fanboy 🤣.
Can you imagine how long this match could have been at that pace?
6/7 hours
Merci de ramener les clefs acquis de droit 🌠
9:20 Love the reaction of that kid with the blue shirt on the right corner
El Revés cruzado de Zverev ese día era fuego puro.
i need the full match between Djokovic vs Nadal SF Roland Garros 2021 and Djokovic vs Ruud F Roland Garros 2023
They didn't even upload Nadal vs Djokovic 2012,2014 extended highlights and Nadal vs fed 2006,7,11 matches
@@Laland_1196 They didn't because they are disapointed with themselves they didn't starts these macthes 11 am and plan those finals to be on sunny days the meterologists predicted to be sunny,
You know it's coming still sends chills down your spine when it finally happens 😢.
IMO, only Djoker & Alcaraz can have reached that level of attrition on court; Zverev needs to get back to that level.
Probably the biggest fight anyone has ever given to Nadal at Roland Garros and that too it wasnt even complete 2 sets
nadal has lost in RG you know. Nadal didn't even lose in this video.
Z's tennis skills at this time worth at least three RG trophies...Oh we forgot his mental strength
Tomorrow he will be playing Medvedev in the AO'24 semi-final - what a fantastic comeback!! Auf gehts!!
😂😂😂😂
Ganz toll
Gaston y'a le téléphone qui son et a chaque fois que je répond on me demande ce que nous faisons?
Sascha has to win Both Sets
True. He was superior
Quelle dommage j'aurais tellement voulu voir la suite de ce match 😢
Un match de titan entre un nadal hors norme sur sa condition physique et son mental et un zverev à la motivation hors du commun pour tenter de battre le meilleur sur terre battue.
His last name Zverev comes from the slavic word ZVER which literally means BEAST he was indeed really a beast in this game
9:21, just ridiculous stuff by Rafa, only he can do this on a tennis court, incredible...
Nadal has a pretty nice drop shot too! Wonder if Carlos taught him this 🤔
Zverev was playing unbelieavable tennis but it's crazy that he did not win the first set after so much opportunities. Always catch up by his demons
I think after a set who plays over 1 hour should ATP change the rule- and give the player 8-10 minutes recovery break. I mean we still playing today with a rule, where making before a long time where the sport was not to physcaly like today, the same also for long services game also, insteed 1 minute break should be 2-3 minute break,
I cant imagine what would happends when zverev get not injury and how long would goes this match far
No se lesiono x cansancio, se tropeso
@@angelpacheco8937 i know, but the atp should still change the rule
god the crack on the twist was so loud
Besides djokovic, THIS version of zverev might be the only player I’ve ever seen actually OVERPOWER Nadal (with Nadal actually playing some of his best tennis) on clay in the long rallies. Nadal had that clutch factor in the first set though, but it still seemed like zverev was going to win. Would’ve been an all time great match though I think
its cause the roof was closed, ball doesnt jump off the court like Rafa loves, made it easier for Sascha to hit
Nadal was nowhere near his best, his forehand was totally ineffective due to the extreme heaviness and his backhand cross-court was unbelievably short, especially for his standards.
That is the worst semi-final he's ever played here and Zverev choked.
zverev was throwing fire ! it could be a 6/7 hours long match !
9:10 WOW Rafa
Craziest unfinished match !
I wanted to watch until the end...
Shame on his injury.
This was the worst ankle injury I've ever seen and I've been around sports a long time. It was hard to watch. I feel for Zverev in this one. He was playing a great match.
Zverev definitely couldve won it in tight 4-5 sets, if it werent for the rolled ankles.
Such a high quality unfinished match, from Nadal too, way to hang in there.
Rafa at roland garros is what taker is at WrestleMania they where rarely see defeat...its there yard
Thrilling match but painful end! 🙁
That wail of agony from Zverev still echoes in my ears...the pain of a rolled ankle is unbearable
This match had the potential to be the best tennis match ever. But it should end this way or else it could have destroyed both players physically since it was already 3hrs when 2nd set still hadn’t finished. What a battle
It wasn't, the level from Rafa was relatively poor due to the conditions and Zverev choked badly in both sets.
It had the potential to be the most titanic battle, but not the best match.
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 the fact that Zverev made 3 double faults in 2nd set shows how intense the match was. they could barely serve when they were both too exhausted. I wouldn't say Rafa's performance was poor since he outlasted his nemesis, who has always been his upper hand recently even on clay court. He can lose to anyone but always gives Rafa hard time. Zverev really knows how to beat Rafa, and if it wasn't for RG he would have beaten Rafa with his level of tennis
@@nghialam1681
1) Rafa's spin was incredibly poor due to humidity and roof's closed, he was also physically exhausted (by his previous matches).
2) Zverev doesn't has the formula to beat Rafa, he's been lead 3-6 in the H2H, not to mention 2 of huis 3 victories came in indoor, Rafa is one of the worst World N°1 when it come to indoor.
The match was a closed roof. Nadal's topspin wasn't kicking up high off the red clay like it would under the sunny bright skies.
Zherev hits the ball as well as anybody, but he is a complete head!
9:16 paralelaaaaaa
so sorry for zverev ... but i'm always rooting for you
Oui c'est un p'tit pâtissier locale
Leonzini achtund
He was playing like Soderling
Fly émirat #🎉
As a Nadal fan, zverez was really on it that day
2021 सेमीफाइनल को छोड़कर, बहुत लंबे समय के बाद यह ऐसा मैच था जिसमें यह देखा गया कि कोई सच में फ्रेंच ओपन में नडाल को हरा सकता था। अगर ज्वेरेव चोटिल न होते, तो ये वाकई एक रोमांचक मैच होता।
2 set 3 hours 🤯🦾🦿
Je suis a l'araize je regarde Nadal
Godlike Sasha
Crazy how RG takes 18 months to post extended highlights when the US and AO post them the next day
Nadal gets how much it sucks to be injured, you could really see the sympathy he had
Jeanne vs Guillaume
Là y'a pas match là 😂
Even though Nadal made that crazy clutch first set comeback, it still looked like there was NO way zverev was gonna be beaten that day. One of the most unlucky injuries in history
He was going to, he choked in the second set also and in the little game, Rafa is so much better than him (drop shot, counter drop shot, slice), which would(ve killed Zverev.
The best unfinished match of all time?
My opinion is Zverev could win this match. Zverev in this match was very fearful even showing the possibility to defeat the ever clay king.
Nah Nadal would have showed his class in the final set and Zverev would have choked anyways
Omg...🤷 What took RG so long to put this much awaited highlight...??? I wish, if this could have been the finale of RG last year & these two Gladiators could have finished such a mouth watering clash....✍️ If Zverev is to win a Slam, I am sure it's right here...☝️
this game wouldve been 5 sets 7 hours. it was already 3 hours and they didn't even finish the second set.
ATP gotta take notes and realize that bigger ball= better tennis match
