Why final chapter? How many matches have we seen between them on clay in recent years? To many! We need to see them face one more time at either Wimbledon or US Open to conclude the greatest rivalry in sports.
This tournament was incredible from Rafa. Just 3 weeks before, he limped out in Rome vs Shapovalov with chronic foot pain, and here beats defending champion and tournament favourite Djokovic. Beat FOUR Top 10 players in the same Major tournament for the first time in his career, at age 36 💪 Rafael Nadal, King of Clay, one of a kind 🔥

I re-watch past matches between Nadal & Djokovic all the time. It's _the_ greatest tennis rivalry of all time. Such different approches to tennis styles but so evenly matched.
For me Novak Djokovic vs Federer was true rivalry even though they were generation apart but Federer gave stastically all around competition to Novak than rafa ever did Federer has defeated nole on all surfaces and Novak has done the same same can't be said about claydal who has not won a set against Novak on hardcourts in 10 yrs
@@MrBjorn6 these Nadal haters take Ls all the time lmao, Feds best surface and wasn't able to beat him there consistently, meanwhile Rafa's best surface he has largely dominated Novak throughout his whole career with just 2 losses at RG.
@@syedsaim3470 Rafa beat Nole on hardcourt in his prime and gave him all he could handle at his favorite grand slam. Djoker made Fed look pathetic at the AO. If Novak won 10+ on clay you wouldn't mock it so much, stop being such a fanboy
I remember this match perfectly. Together with my dad we stayed for more than 4 hours watching the match between Rafa and Nole. Wonderful match, another historic match that will be recorded forever. Rafa is a tremendous competitor, we hope to see him return with great spirits and most importantly, healthy. VAMOS RAFAAAA
He has a chance at RG at always, but I expect him to get thoroughly hammered by Nole if they play on hard court or grass. He hasn’t won a set on HC since 2013 and hasn’t won on grass since 2008
@@jadenw-d5562 with a wrist injury at the UNITED CUP lol? Keep coping when Nadal gets knocked out in round 2 at AO by a nobody like McKenzie McDonald again while Novak is lifting the title.
@@jadenw-d5562 he was complaining about the injury even before the match and in training lmao 😂. If anyone fakes injuries it’s Claydal and we all know it. Guy has made 100+ injury claims in his career. Funny how he’s never injured on clay though, unless he loses. Isn’t it weird how he’s missed 1 French open in his entire career yet has missed other majors countless times each? Very interesting indeed 😂He’ll forever be no.3 in the goat debate
Credit to Rafa, he played lights out on this day. As a Nole fan, this performance was puzzling especially given how he turned the 2nd set around. He just wasn't able to get into any sustained rhythm this match, of course due to Rafa's relentless aggression and pinpoint precision. Still a fantastic encounter by the two Legends. Only shame was that it was a QF. Would have loved another finals clash. Hope to see Rafa at his best in Australia. Savouring another Grand Slam showdown between the two!
When Nadal is healthy, he is unbeatable at Roland Garros. I’d say the only unbeatable player in tennis history. Healthy Nadal has never lost here. Just insane!
So many excuses. 2021 he was moving like a cat in the first set and nearly bageled Djokovic. Then suddenly he becomes “injured” when he starts losing. What about 2009? He’s the CLOSEST thing to unbeatable in history at RG. But not unbeatable, no one is.
Lmao you Nadal fans are great at post Christmas jokes and fairy tales. We appreciate the laughter and copium that you give everyone, cos the truth is always starring you right in the face but you just refuse to acknowledge it. Buddy, I get it, you are a Nadal fan boy who can’t accept that his idol could ever lose healthy on his best surface, but unfortunately he did pal. Hate to burst your orange bubble, but Novak dismantled Nadal the previous year here. Nadal was not injured, he got injured in the tournament he played post RG, but against Novak he was fine for the entire match, to say he wasn’t is just your ways of coping more.
@@justchillin6314For information, 2021, Absent at IW, Cincinnati, Rafa plays with his bandaged foot at RG and has this bandage removed after the 3rd set, he operates following and stops his season, absent at Wimbledon, Olympics, USO and Masters and some would like to make us believe he was in great shape at RG. 2022, Rafa plays with an anesthetized foot throughout the tournament, he comes out of a match in 5 sets lasting more than 4h20 against FAA. Djoko is not injured, given favorite to RG after a half in Madrid and victory in Rome, in full confidence, he prefers to play at night because he does not like the heat and he knows that Rafa's lift is less good and they want us to believe that Djoko lost because he was weak, clowns!!!!
Most surprising win of Rafa’s career for me. The way he struggled against FAA in R4, I expected Novak to win in an easy 3 sets. And then Rafa came out firing in this match, moving great and playing very aggressively. Was a win to savour as a fan!
There was a lot of talk about how the match being at night favoured Novak as well. Rafa gave everything, and Novak simply couldn't find an answer. Greatest rivalry of all time no doubt
@@Romans8-9 He had _confidence_ issues from the start of 2015 based, in part, on injuries from 2014. His struggles were more mental that season. ESPN did an article on it before the French Open started.
@@jadenw-d5562 History has shown this. Nadal is otherworldly at Roland Garros when he is physically fit and confident. Even when he is injured or struggling with confidence, he still has a chance because he's that damn good. He also lost to Soderling in 2009. However, he had issues with both knees (tendinitis) and was dealing with his parents' divorce.
And 2014 also. His clay-court season was very mediocre that year. He only won an M1000 thanks to Nishikori's injury and was beaten in the Rome final by Djokovic. But at the end he was completely insane during RG
Rafa destroyed him... this time. Man was injured at the beginning of the season. But managed to win against Gluten free top class top form nole with style.. Thank u rafa.. Greatest match 😍😇😀😀 I love this match more than RG 2020
I don't mind you have used the word “destroyed” even though your whole comment shows your malice nature towards Novak. But I would like to see a match in Australian Open where Rafael Nadal Parrera even barely win against Novak Djokovic, let alone destroy him. Tag me if that happens in the whole career of Clay Master.
This match is Rafa's last big match, last dance😢❤.He shows that despite injuries he is a warrior he's vengeur. Let's forget Nole who, despite being the best player of planet he is below Rafa on clay because Rafa is the goat of clay. Each of their last match must be savored . Thanks a lot Roland-Garros channel❤
I always felt this tournament was the perfect moment for him to retire... It really took a toll on him, he was never the same player after RG 2022... Lots of injuries, father time, lack of focus and preparation for 2023... But here we are, he's in Brisbane and he wants to try again, one last time. What I really hope is he TRULY takes care of his health this time and if another injury occurs, I don't think it's worth to continue anymore. He has a long life ahead.
Rewatching the first set. I love how the announcers are so flummoxed by Novak's results when he was down 4-1. They blame a bunch of things but never once bring up Rafa's play. It never ceased to amaze me how often announcers failed to recognize Rafa's gifts when he played Fed and Novak. And when they do? It's so half hearted. Like the don't really mean it. Bizarre.
Quizás todos hasta los más fanáticos de Rafa 🎾 pensamos que este iba a ser su último Roland Garros y que perdería con Novak que venía jugando increíble ....Pero Rafa dem8stró que pese a su problema en su pie ,de jugar infiltrado todos los partidos ..jugó un tenis 🎾 fantástico ...el Beethoven del tenis 🎾...en arcilla estando bien ...es el mejor de la historia 💯💯💯
Has to be the greatest QF match in tennis history, I can't think of any others that can compare. This was the title match, but Zverev deserves respect because he played very well against Nadal in the semi-final before he got hurt, unfortunately.
The intelligence of shot selection. The duel of the minds. To create and recreate strategies. Exquisite talent. Is it a wonder that they've stayed above the baying pack for so long?
At moments Nadal was toying with Novak here, even tho Novak still made the match competitive but it seems that Nadal is just too good on clay, even for the goat.
Don't start with the GOAT. Don't forget that the race was 22-22 before Nadal retired for the rest of the season this year. And the fact that Novak played more than 14 full GS tournaments than Nadal advantage him too. I don't wanna discredit Novak but that's the truth.
It was 7 degrees cooler. Djokovic was without Vajda, and Nadal did not feel pain or tiredness cause he was on ilegal injection that was approved for his condition. If someone else took it he would be considered doping. Get it now?
Last half an hour, Djokovic looked forlorn, at a loss of ideas and spraying shots all around the court. Clay court plays directly into Rafa's hands. The little adjustments he makes, constantly making short steps, gives him control over uneven bounces in clay. On the other hand, Djokovic is unable to use his plasticity on clay courts as he runs the risk of sliding over the slippery dirt and getting injured in the process. It's therefore a very different story on hard courts, specially indoor ones.
@@hi-qk9yv I am fully aware and appreciative of Djokovic's talents,thank you. He is the GOAT. Nevertheless, he is not the COAT, and I just gave my explanation for that.
Nadal said he took many injections in this tournament, he said the number he injected was “you better don’t know”. He admitted that this would harm his foot so much. While nadal said Djokovic was obsessed with records and he said he just want to enjoy tennis, he did this harmful thing.
Rafa played this tournament injured, with medicines, injections that made his foot numb. Amazing effort for someone not obsessed with winning grand slams

People seem to forget the context of this match. Djokovic was still very far from his best. He was (unfairly) deported from Australia (even if he had a confirmed valid exemption) He needed time to get back into form. Had a few big defeats against Vesely, Davidovich Fokina, he almost lost to Djere. He was still trying to recover his best level. Pretending he was at his peak in this match is ridiculous. He peaked in Wimbledon and towards the end of the season in Paris/Turin. At that point he was still struggling. That's like saying RG2015 was peak Nadal... it clearly wasn't. Not to take credit away from Nadal but still, he wasn't facing the best version of Djokovic.
@@cdauga 9 matches against mugs like Schwartzman, Ruud and Auger-Aliassime, lol. Doesn't mean anything. He was still a bit rusty and lacking matches. Not the ideal conditions, clearly.
It's clear Nadal wasn't in his prime by this point, a lot of unforced errors in that 2nd set which you'd have expected him to finish comfortably a few years earlier
I will never get tired of re-watching this match. The final chapter of the biggest rivalry in sports - for now.

@@cdauga 9 matches against mugs like Schwartzman, Ruud and Auger-Aliassime, lol. Doesn't mean anything. He was still a bit rusty and lacking matches. Not the ideal conditions, clearly.
@@chablodink982 3 clay specialists...Night session at RG just what he likes, and book's favorite , you're just kidding us
Rafa literally didnt even play much on clay before this and was injured. He played this match with a sleeping foot and still killed Nole
This is probably Nadal's last truly great performance.
A lot has happened since 2022, with Father Time having a more adverse affect on Nadal
We'll see what happens tomorrow

RAFA!!!!!!!!
It's on clay we watch Rafa is much better than all of them because on clay you need play true tennis
7 June 2006 to 31 May 2022. Roland Garros quarterfinal to RG quarterfinal
Like 2020, beyond my wildest dreams but for completely different reasons.
It's clear Nadal wasn't in his prime by this point, a lot of unforced errors in that 2nd set which you'd have expected him to finish comfortably a few years earlier
This was the match when they said Novak has figured out Nadal on RG
Chaîne TH-cam française, tournoi français mais commentaires en anglais … Logique !
37:26 hugo decrypte ca m’a perturbé de fou
If Nadal had not taken the Fauci Ouchie he would still be healthy enough to play.
Damn, that's dumb...
@@wowaquariums It's true. Lucky he is not dead.
@@roybatty- Stop. Please. Seriously.
@@wowaquariums You have upon you my mark. You have forfeit your soul.
Em Roland Garros acho que nem o Super Homem conseguiria ganhar do Nadal kkkkkkk vamos Rafa o Reiiiiiiiiiiii do saibro kkkkk
