Just like AO 2018 was the easiest Slam for Federer outside clay. Novak was injured. Rafa was injured. Federer defeated a Grand Slam winner (Cilic) at the AO 2018, just like Nadal defeated a Grand Slam winner (Del Potro) at the US Open 2017.
Logan Legend Also, Federer is always reportedly injured at the US Open (2017, 2018, 2019) so that doesn't make Nadal's victory less impressive. It's not like Federer is any force at the US Open nowadays, as he has not won the title since 2008, nor has he been close to win the title since 2009.
I have watched the whole game again, because I suffered three heart attacks live, I needed oxygen, and I could not enjoy it. I have to say wow! What a match! The best I've ever seen!
@@JohnTaylor-vg6cy Possibly, can't rule it out entirely and although I respect your view, I would have to iterate that good Griggy had more time to set up/get into position so some mental predetermination could take place (lob was on too) whereas Rafa's was purely spontaneous and there was only one option available to win the point. It had to be pin point precise in the corner and his best shot in his artillery; the banana! He also had no idea if his old legs could even get there in the first place and then to execute that much spin on that scorcher of a shot on the dead run, on a completely dying ball that was oh so close to a double bounce was absolutely ballistic to witness! Demonstrable control on that level? Sweet Lord it's rare, especially pronounced when delivered by the respective player's naturally non-dominant hand :) With all that said...the one against Verdasco's wicked slice @ AO '09!!!! where the net WAS an obstacle, that, for sure, we're never going to see again.
Fed was injured- or else he would have beaten Nadal in the finals, another jinx- I see he was in pain, and still played in QF, this was just a tragedy, Medvedev was total shit in the finals, just like Kevin Anderson in 2017- another cake walk draw, as usual.
Paul Johnson come on you need to do that in every video. I am fan of Roger as well but no need to bring out injuries every time it ruins the credibility of the wins for the players.
Was at rafa schwartzman match, best three setter ever played, ridiculously high paced match in terms of ball speed. Diego through everything he had at rafa and was lowkey on fire? His backhands were crisp as hell and made a new fan out of me.
Counts for nothing- it's not just hitting the insane shot, it's when you do it- he made about 50 errors after that, including terrible shot selection, giving Nadal another bite at the cherry.
13:05 that's what they came for? I came here for the 360 smash he made on matchpoint in the same match. How the hell did that one not make it into this video

One of the worst, from Medvedev's perspective, this was his best chance, to win a GS, but he choked, even when he fought his ass off, to take it to 5 sets, what's worse, this choke led to a greater choke, a few months later, poor guy must be having nightmares for months- esp at wtf 5-1 up, 40-30, worst choke ever- in tennis history, beats 40-15 Wimbledon Federer!
@@pauljohnson6019 dude , nothing beats all the choke jobs Fed had against Djoker at US open and Wimbledon. Medvedev never had a match point against Nadal. You delusional.
Well Nadal owned this tournament. He deserves all these highlight reels of him. His 33 year old body barely crossed the finish line but he got it done. He said recently he finally has been able to be cramps free. He was cramping badly for a week after the final. Medvedev pushed him to the limits. Vamos Rafa!
@@nogoodnameleft Well they even cut some of his points to show some lower quality ones, like the no look forehand after getting lobed by Berretini or the multiple smash returns against Cilic those two deserved to be in this video.
I think that hard courts, in tournaments around the world, often produce the best rallies and points, because the ball travels quite fast, though not as fast as on grass courts, so the points are not as short as on grass, where volley and serve players hold fort. The ball also bounces relatively high, but not as high as on clay, allowing for a variety of shots, including topspin and slice. We see a lot of incredible ground strokes, volleys, tweeners and shots in general at the US open. I hope to see another great one this year, following Wimbledon which starts in 2 days. 🎾💥
All you could find from Serena is a mundane back hand passing shot after a 5 second rally....By far the list impressing point in this list and kinda telling
A grand slam to be remembered.
One of the best.

I thought that was illegal.
That volley was terrible. Every top 50 player of the 70s or 80s (let alone before) would have put it away with ease.
