- Federer, who hadn't lost in 24 finals, was beaten 6-7 (7-4), 6-7 (13-11), 6-2, 6-1, 7-6 (7-3) for only his fourth defeat this year. Nalbandian ended Federer's 35-match winning streak and his bid to equal John McEnroe's 21-year-old mark of 82-3 for the best winning percentage in a season in the Open era.
Probably the two most talented tennis players in history.
McEnroe up there too, maybe even more. But yeah those two were astounding.
Both were artists.
The level of play in this final has rarely been matched in tennis history. It took two geniusses to produce this high-class stuff
it was not that high quality .. clearly Federer had some back issues .. he was not monstering those forehands like he usually did
he did not have any issues at all.
look at his ankle. it's strapped up. Regardless, Nalbandian played a fantastic match
@@avishek438 Back? How do you see an ankle brace (which he had because he had sprained his ankle several weeks before) and come up with BACK?
Correct.
Better tennis has N E V E R been played. I could go on and on and on about the otherworldly talent of Nalbandian. There is no metaphor in human language that properly defines the greatness of this match, and Nalbandian's skill altogether. It actually makes me tear up. The feeling I got when I saw this match for the first time is the same feeling I got when I had strawberries for the first time. This is the match I refer to when somebody asks me which match is the greatest of all time.
This was one of the best matches in tennis. The variety and the shot-making shown by both players was sublime. You don't see this type of tennis with the slowing down of surfaces today.
Yes, Fed was coming back from injury, but that's not the reason he lost. This same Federer had beaten the same Nalbandian in a tough 3-setter in the RR stages. In this match, Nalbandian simply took the match away from Fed. He came storming back from 2 sets down, and then managed to break back to send the final set to a tiebreak.
Not to mention, Nalbandian was always a tough opponent for Fed. Their H2H is the closest compared to anyone else in Fed's era.
Nalbandian Fat vs Federer Injury = 50-50

Nalbandian deu uma aula de técnica habilidade angulacoes e deixadas nesse jogo...espetacular
Inolvidable final! Recuerdo como si fuera hoy el 0-4 abajo para Roger en el 5to, y esa cruzada de brazos..y después vino la remontada! De las mejores finales que vi en mi vida. Estas eran finales de Masters, a 5 set :D
The matches between these two were the most entertaining tennis matches of the decade, hands down.
I challenge anyone to find me a match with as many dramatic twists and turns combined with the amount of quality shot making that this one provided. Simply incredible.
best World Tour Finals match, no doubt
Damn, Nalbandian is sooo good on the return .. Federer is one of the best severs in the game and Nalbandian just read his serve soooo easily .. How many times Nalbandian won the point because of an amazing return .. Wow .. We see at least three love-breaks .. Incredible ..
Que bestia David, me dan ganas de llorar.
Gracias por habernos dado tantas emociones
Pensar q luego de esa final Federer le dijo a David "te espero en la final de Australia"
Roger llegó a ella, y Nalbandian perdió en la semi tras ir arriba 2 sets a 0, increíble, de las frustraciones más grandes viendo tenis..
yo la considero como una de las mejores finales que vi, porque ambos tienen estilos parecidos y además mostraron todo el manual de como jugar al tenis en un solo partido.. hay otra linda finales, pero hay jugadores que ganan sacando a 1000 km/h o solo tirando palazos. o corriendo corriendo corriendo y el juego se hace muy monótono. obvio que para ser como roger o david tenes que tener miles de recursos, porque si en un partido no te sale uno tenes otro, y estas capacitado para jugar contra cualquier rival y en cualquier cancha.
Probably the most skill intensive tennis match i have ever witnessed they were both on that day when you never fail a shot and you can place the ball wherever you want
This is the most amazing match i have ever had the pleasure to witness.
fed v nalby = artist vs artist = most aesthetically and tactically pleasing tennis imaginable
this match, madrid 07, paris 07 - pure beauty
I love the forms of these 2. So smooth and effortless. Beautiful to watch. This is Art of Tennis!!
Nalbandian, the ball feelling MASTER!!!
Grande David, inolvidable esa final, era día domingo acá en Argentina y no me moví hasta el final.
One of the most insane matches you'll ever see. That 5th set alone was absurd. Momentum swings galore. Awesome stuff.
Nalbandian won 10 games in a row , 1-0 down from 4th set to 4-0 up in the fifth which was amazing.
That Backhand from Nalbandian is scary.
Que increíble fue ese día, inolvidable. Y yo todavía con bronca porque me perdí justo este partido. Todo el año 2005 viendo tenis y me vengo a perder este, el más importante para un fan argentino.
I am exaggerating or is one of the best games that i have seen?.Federer is may be the greatest technique player and Nalbandian have a wonderful backhand.
You're not exaggerating. This match was a lot better than the grindfests Djokovic, Murray, and Nadal produce. Great shotmaking by both players. One of the best TMC finals that's ever been played.
jbobbster I beg to differ. That's like comparing across eras, which doesn't make sense at all because of the differences in racquet technology and Tour restrictions,.
That's why Federer can never be considered the GOAT, because he dominated only in a small 4 year window, out of the last 100 something years of tennis. (Not even considering Royal Tennis from which Tennis, Squash and most of the racquet sports today have originated from. Might as well call some British monarch the greatest tennis player before the 20th Century)
I don't even think Federer is the greatest player of the last decade considering Nadal grabbing many more tougher slams in this tougher physical era, with an equally great opponent in Djokovic.
Nadal and Djokovic have their own worth to tennis, whose ATP organisers which had made a unanimous decision -a long, long time ago- to have slower courts that produce long rallies, after the time of Sampras. Their worth is in their unique style and they've been reared on these slow courts, and have dominated them.
There's no logic in making them out to have an 'inferior' style just because you haven't gotten used to the new era. Every older connoisseur tends to turn into a curmudgeon, and maybe you should accept the present.
Caleb Pereira If you like watching five hour grindfests on slow hardcourts where two guys just rally until the other misses, be my guest. I, like other true tennis fans, will enjoy tennis filled with great shots making on fast courts that give the advantage to everyone, not just a select few.
Not to mention, nobody other than Fed can say they won 3 out of 4 GS 3 times in 4 years. Djokovic could do it once, and so could Nadal. But neither could maintain that level in successive years, let alone 4 straight years.
_"True tennis fan"_
I'm skeptical of your hasty self-styling.
A true tennis fan would be open to all styles.
A true tennis fan wouldn't make a hegemony like you just did.
And it doesn't give the advantage to a select few.
That's complete and utter bullshit.
The ones who are at the top take it out of their foresight, conditioning, and hard work.
Should I say Federer was given the advantage post-2002 when they gradually slowed down courts so that Roddick's serve lost some of it's potency and that Nalbandian couldn't physically keep up with the slower baseline game?
No. I don't. Because he took it from them.
Hewitt, Safin, Nalbandian, Roddick and Davydenko put together have won less than Djokovic alone.
It shows how much tougher Nadal has had it, because he had a GREAT rival. Unlike Federer in those 3-slam years.
Nadal and Djokovic have had each other, so no one's ever gonna mistake their era as an easy one.
I don't think the same can be said of Federer's 2003-2007 era.
Federer's 4 year domination period was weak. Period.
Caleb Pereira How nice, you have to swear to try to get your point across. How funny. I AM a fan of all styles. But unfortunately court speeds at major tournaments only favor baseline grinders. PLAYERS have to be baseline grinders to win GS these days. Wimbledon grass is painfully slow. IW is the slowest HC on both tours. Martina Navratilova said it's useless trying to hit great volleys at IW, because the opponent has enough time to get a sandwich and still get to the ball. The Paris Masters, once the fastest indoor tournament, has slowed significantly. Prime example is the first year Paris went from carpet to HCs. Nadal and Nalbandian both made the final. It's not BS.
When Pete was on top, players didn't have to just be serve and volleyers to win. Players didn't just have to be big hitters. Players didn't just have to be grinders. Whoever could adapt their specific playing style to the given court surface could win. That's what made that era better than this current slow-court era.
And once again, you prove you're another person who mistakes dominance for a weak era. Roddick would have won more GS had Fed not been there. Davydenko would have won multiple GS had it not been for Fed. Nalbandian could have won multiple GS had he focused better. It didn't mean they were week opponents. Federer was just that much better. Just like Serena today, as well as Martina and Chrissie in the 80s. Dominance does NOT mean a weak era. And the slowing of courts didn't cause Roddick's serve to lose its potency against Fed. Fed perfected the block return, as well as he read Roddick's serve as good as anyone. Even on fast courts, Roddick's serve wasn't that overpowering the Federer. And as Roddick got older, he chose to get a higher-percentage of first serves in play. So, in turn, he took 10mph off, himself. His serve wasn't neutralized that much by slow surfaces.
Tell Nadal and Djokovic to try to dominate on FAST Wimbledon grass. Tell them to try to win the Paris Masters on indoor carpet courts. No doubt, they benefitted from the slowing of surfaces.
Like I said, this match, with great shot-making, was better than any Nadal-Djokovic grandest, like the the 2012 AO final. You could also include the Fed-Safin AO SF match, or the Roddick-Fed 09 Wimbledon final.
One of the biggest David's matches. He played his best tennis on that day.
Roger may be the greatest of all times, but he will never forget this three terrible defeats against Nalby, 2005 Shangai, 2007 Paris and Madrid
what's terrible about these defeats can you please explain ?
Because they happened at his absolute peak, when nobody could defeat him and in hard courts, his own territory. Defeating Federed during 2007 and 2005 was just not doable unless Nadal in clay. Nalbandian owned him.
Damn right Joshua, that's why
Joshua Stam then those are not called terrible defeats idiot .. those should be called unexpected defeats .. i would rather call these as great victories by Nalbandian instead of terrible defeats of Federer .. idiot ...
***** all fine but what's the point of calling these as "terrible defeats" ? as i said, its better to call these as "great victories" instead of "terrible defeats" ...
I miss this Nalbandian...I'd rather see this than Djoker or Murray!!!!
I agree. The shotmaking was at the highest level I have ever seen.
Totally agree, pall.
I could also add:
Federer vs Safin (AO 2005)
Federer vs Del Potro (US Open 2009)
Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
2 most talented players of the tour
other than the Federer Nadal winbledon matches and Djokovic nadal australain open 2012, this is the highest quality match I'v seen
Right 🖒🖒
i think nalbandian, at his best, can match federer shot for shot- can match him in the finesse dept; in the courtcraft dept; baseline and forecourt. i reckon the most amazing feature of this match is that the rallies are so long but it's an indoor court, so decisions have to be made at lightning speed, and they both make the right ones again and again. djoco cant volley like this, nadal aint got nalbandy's backhand, neither have his imagination...
would love to see a santoro vs nalbandian match.
one of the best matches available on TH-cam
the era which contained Roddick, Nalbandian, Hewitt, Davydenko, Fernando Gonzalez, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Safin, Guillermo Coria .... was a very strong one. I guess many people agree with that opinion. Only haters of Roger called it "weak era".
Look, I love Roger, but the players you named are no better than any of the Big Four, they've all reached Wawrinka's level, some maybe better. They were names that bothered the great Roger. But note that these players do not have as many titles. Hewitt and Roddick are the ones who have the most. But notice that Murray and Djokovic have more than all of them together. There you see the difference.
Counting Big four without Roger, they won 186 titles, and counting. All you named, won 145. Look at the grandeur of the big four ...
@@daviddambrosio1426 hater spotted
@@EricsFirth One year later, they won 201 titles, and counting...
@@EricsFirth he himself said he loves Federer, what's is your point then??
great match by nalbandian. He was a great player who unfortunately never won a slam.
lol Nalbandian became one of the most popular foreign sportsman in China just from this one match. Spectacular stuff.
Nunca me voy a olvidar de este partido! lo vivi con mucha emocion desde casa mirandolo en la tele. GRAN VIDA AL GRAN MAESTRO ROGER! EL MEJOR DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS.
2005 had some of the best matches ever, at least of the decade! The Coria Nadal match in Rome, Safin Federer in Australia, Agassi Blake in New York and Federer Nalbandian in Shanghai.
por mucho el mejor partido de tennis que he visto en mi vida
Mira la final de Roma 2005 entre Nadal y Coria o la semifinal entre del potro y federer en los jjoo de 2012 también son partidazos
o mira la final de wimbledon del 2008, catalogada como el mejor partido de la historia
Agustin Diaz este tiene la connotación de ser final de maestros pero lo mejor que he visto ha sido la final de Roma entre Coria y Nadal. Ojo que igual no le quito méritos a esta
What an amazing player. Add this performance to what he did in the back to back Masters victories over the Big 3... also becoming the only man to ever beat Nadal, Federer and Djokovic at the same event!!!!
Nalbandian one of the best tennis players of all times by far, too bad he never took the sport too seriously otherwise he would have been the undisputable number one.
I miss this nalbandian so much
Eric Castro me too my friend he was the best i have ever seen when he was on
When i see this match i have a different feeling from other matches i see with Federer. He looks alot more human.
BTW. Thanks for not spoiling the surprise in the description...
EPIC final! Gracias por tu tenis David!!!!
Nalbandian is so talented. I can't understand why he hasn't won any majors...
I jumped out on my chair when Federer broke Nalbandian to 6-5, then when it was 30-0, I thought that there's no way Roger will lose this match but then, unbelievable
And while Federer rallied back from 0-3, my hope rose again but finally...
Best match ever.Better than Wimbledon 2008.
Que increíble final ambos jugando un tenis ultraofensivo cada punto disputado de principio a fin, se pueden ver todos los golpes habidos y por haber dentro de un partido de tenis, es exquisito apreciar a ambos jugadores en sus mejores años en el circuito desprendiendo un increible talento que en la actualidad no logra verse, desde 2010 se ha convertido en un deporte mas físico y mental pasando 30 veces la pelota en la red para ganar un punto que estratégico planeando y armando jugadas para desestabilizar al contrario y hasta llegar a frustrarlo, si Nalbandian se hubiera dedicado 100% al tenis entrenándose como corresponde, sin tantas noches de salidas y sin tantas carreras de rally habría llegado bastante lejos en palmares y números, ya que tenia un potencial bastante grande capaz de ganarle a cualquier jugador y un talento muy especial que era agradable de ver en sus partidos, no se puede decir que desperdició su gran don tenistico pero podría haber acabado entre los mas grandes de la historia si se lo hubiera propuesto
+Federico Abregu totalmente de acuerdo david era un jugadorazo yo vi este partido y no me dormi al termino del 2 set por que pense un puntito por aki otro por alla mmm hubieran sido para cualquier lado al final a las 6 de la mañana david fue el maestro el 2005 y de lo de la fiesta particular que taia david es cierto pero creo que le falto un ntrenador de renombre no se tony roge brad gilbert paul anacone alguien de se nivel en fin
+Federico Abregu y de roger solo puedo decir una cosa es el mejor jugador de toda la historia del tennis y no por numeros es el jugador mas completo que ha habido y no dicho por mi lo dive laver borg agassi edberg
David tenia talento para jugar, no supo aprovecharlo al maximo, sino hubiese ganado mucho mas de lo que gano, tenia algo increible que soportaba la presion de los puntos en contra, ya sea break points, set points o match points del rival, los manejaba con una tranquilidad incomparable y en la mayoria de los casos lograba revertirlos.
Así muy de acuerdo. Pero el hubiera no existe.. mientras el desperdicio oportunidades.. Federer las aprovecho larga vida al rey..y sigue vigente al día de hoy.. 🏆 larga vida al rey..!!
Grande David, como siempre dando clase!!!
This was when the Far East finally started getting big ATP events. I actually enjoyed the crowd reactions here you could really tell they were happy to have such a great event.
And, the courts were of a darker color- (so you can see the ball better on the video). Too bad the video isn't sharper/clearer.
Great match! I like both of them.They are very fascinated players.They make the match incredible exciting.....
6:53 Best commentator reaction ever.
I remember my mate and and i watching this on aussie channel abc and was constantly jaw dropping at the Crazy shots nalbandian was constantly pulling off. Hands down the most amazing tennis ive seen
Gary Hall the best player ever is nalbandian for me
fuck was this on abc??? I totally missed out on the glory days of non slam matches on free to air
i remember watching this game. Fed was struggling with a leg injury after the second set. Good fight from the master
Totalmente de acuerdo, Nacho. Además el tenís es ahora mucho mas físico y con las lesiones es mas jodido que antes ser tan regular. Safin cuando estaba bien los paseó a todos, igual que Nalbandian. A Murray le faltará un slam, pero cuando está de racha te pone en ridículo. Hoy hay varios que juegan un huevo. Y si, Federer es el mas grande de la historia. Nadie tiene 15 grand slams y nadie dominó el circuito con tanto margen en la era abierta. Un abrazo.
This is HIGH quality tennis.
One of the best three matches of the last decade.
That was tennis from another planet
partidazo!!! son unos monstruos los dos... excellent video!!!!
its crazy how nalbandian hits effortless backhand winners down the line
Nalbandian played so much better back then
Roger and David were both "in the groove" during this match.
Man, what ever happened to Nablandian? He was so good.
Shoulder injury, couldn't serve anymore
Shame :/
The most sad career of this phenomenal player and talent..the best player i have seen when he was on
He is now a Rally racer here in Argentina.
@@fedestabile Injuries: shoulder, hip.
@DuchDoby I wouldn't go that far, but it was fabulous. I wouldn't put it up there with Wimbledon 2008 and 2009 simply because Federer's level dropped off so much after winning the first two sets while Nalbandian stayed consistently great the entire match. The first two sets were absolutely unbelievable. If they'd kept playing like that and it had gone five sets--woof--it would have to go up there with the best all-time.
I love Roger, he is the best. But some of his fans here on youtube are so annoying, and can´t appreciate other players.
King David, the very best ever! Argentina!
I really can´t understand why nalbandian is not in top 10 at least? OMG, he is one of the best players in the world!! I wish he will finish this year in top 5!!!
some of the best highlights ever. what a pity nalbandian could never make that final push at a Slam.
Man this is fuckin tennis. The two most talented players. Look at those angles, those drop-shots, volleys... Everything is there. This is pure Tennis, the skills of both players is incredible. Compare that to fuckin never ending boring 50 shots rallies we have now thanks to fuckin ATP making courts slower, which allowed the emergence of players like Nadal, Novak, and Murray. Boring to death, hitting the ball back forever until the opponents breaks. Tennis was a sport rewarding intelligence & technique over sheer power and the physical aspect. Now it's the other way around. It has changed so much as a sport. Novak wouldn't win a single slam during Sampras' era, and Sampras would probably not win neither in our era.
Luisito, tu argumento es muy liviano y caprichoso. Es como decir que si huboera habido un Federer en la eopca de Borg, todos esos hubieran sido menos grandes. Los mejores no se miden entre si, sino por el dominio que tienen en su epoca. Todos esos jugadores de los que te burlás no fueron mas grandes justamente porque les tocó Federer. Roddick ganó el US Open y las otras 4 finales de GS las perdió con Federer (la última 16-14 en el 5to set). Federer no es inafalible, obvio, pero es el mejor.
gracias por tanto david
I still remember the end of this match and how devastated federer looked sitting in his chair. He couldn't believe he pushed this to a fifth and still lost. It was one of my favorite matches because both were playing at a high level throughout and they both hit some creative shots.
They were both "in the groove".
Great match put on by Nalbandian and Federer!!!!! Screw Nadal-Djokovic. This match is great tennis. Don't give a damn about who's era was best. I give a damn about the great shot-making on FAST carpet courts.
If Caleb Pereira wishes to show his man-crush on Nadal and Djokovic, there are plenty of TH-cam videos to do it on.
Throwback to when nalbandian played like the GOAT
I loved the way Fed changed from a backhand to a forehand at 6:23 :) The final set was full of drama..
AO 2003, Roddick vs El Aynuoi
Wimby 2009, Roddick vs Federer just two really good examples. Very High quality from both ends in both matches. oh yeah and maybe the Wimby 09 QF with Roddick and Hewitt
Maybe Nalbandian was a big Mcenroe fan because he was all that stood between Federer having the best yearly match record in the open era.
EL MEJOR PARTIDO LEJOS DE SU CARRERA... WUAW..
guys Nalbandian wasn´t even training when he was called on the last minute to play this tournament, he was on vacation, he went there with no preparation at all and not in a good physical shape either, so don´t try to use Fed´s foot problem as an excuse. Both players made it to the final and played their very best.
One thing i didn´t liked about this match is that Roger being down at the final set called the tournament doctor and stopped the match for some minutes because he was tired
@federerbestclass true, but you can't blame it all on the foot. nalbandian was amazing this match!
9:10 "Game Fed... Nalbandian"
2017 fed with this nalbandian both physically fit on this indoor carpet is the most exciting match ever. Because 2017 fed has the best touch ever andatches nalbandian in an all court game. Even me backhand is insane.
@MrTonyInchpractice you hit the nail on the head there. These guys imo are just so much more talented than everyone else but federer has shown that you cant just get by with talent. Mentally Nalbo just isn't there, bar this match, and its such a shame he hasn't made the most of his talent as Federer has.
the most entertaining matches i've seen are these two playing each other... i mean, there are some other pretty good ones too (like Safin-Federer Houston 2004), but the matches between these two guys usually have a crapload of great points, and with all sorts of variety too!
It was that red shirt that of Nalbandian's that made him overpower Federer. He put in on for the start of the third set & away he went.
greatest macth ever. completely insane 5th set. Roger came back from 2 breaks down and broke in the 11th game to serve for the match then Nalbandian broke back right after to win the tournament in tiebreak. Roger has injury of foot. maybe David too. We know that the young player of the present heyday is always using it for an excuse or dirty gamesmanship. But, for matches like this one, we are true fan of tennis. beautiful incredible sport.
Not to take anything away from Nalbandian but did people know that Federer was on crutches for 4 weeks prior to this tournament in Shanghai? He had to come into this tournament pretty much without any sort of preperation.
Federer's playing style is rather subdued here compared to the latter years. Nadal and djokovic made Roger adapt to an even aggressive style.
l'un des plus grand match de l'histoire meme si pas vmt connu! je préfère fed nadal a wimbledon en 2008 mais sur ce match, fed rugit a la fin du 2eme comme jamais, c'était un félin au filet, quel niveau de jeu sur ces 5 sets et fed qui n'arrive pas a conclure avec le break d'avance au 5eme. Sans doute l'un des plus beaux tie breaks de tous les temps au 2eme sets et des coups gagnants dans tous les sens tout le match, j'adore
I remember Federer gave his opponent two bagels in the semi-final before this final, a match of best 2 sets of 3
It is the best game I saw in recent times
That backhand at 4:16 though... o.O
@karelduin Totally agree. Watch how Nalbandian played the first 2 sets when Federer was not tired !! He didn;t deserve to lose them! This is one of the best matches ever!
Best year end championship match ever!!!!!!!!!!!! I think the final match at the barclays O2 arena should be played best of 5!!!!!!
This is magic
David ..un genio a este torneo llego porque se bajaron otros y le gano a los mejores de momento ..poco reconocimiento a al mejor reves a dos manos del mundo!
wonderful match
Tennis in Art Mode.
@theone225 I would like to correct you...the best match on the tour (if not best at all) is Federer vs Nadal final Rome 2006...then it was played best-of-5-sets and it was drama till an end(all decided in tie break).
The best one mainly because of quallity of the match, quallity of groundstrokes. Federer played much better than at Wimbledon 2008 and Nadal was also on the top of his game.
nalbandian won from 2 sets to love down against prime fed that too on his fav. surface that is really incredible....
crazy comeback from federer final set
I remember this so well. Roger was really struggeling with his movement due to his injured right foot. Too bad he couldn't serve it out in the last set.
