@@gagansingh9622 imo this was better because it was much behind the baseline and on the stretch . Rogers was also great but the ball landed right in his strikezone to play that passing shot
@@jamesnm21The problem is Roger's knee won't hold up. He didn't look at all comfortable in the last match at the Laver Cup and even Rafas body is falling apart. They'd struggle at the top doubles level IMO.
The forehand down the line pass is incomplete without the single handed backhand down the line on the following point to save the championship. Two of the greatest passing shots back to back . The second one was clutch. Tennis will never be the same without these two humble giants of the sport.
they never played to the crowd like everyone does today. it was just that battle against each other and against themselves and being without doubt 2 of the grestest players to ever step on the court with such colorful opposing styles that enthralled fans.
Speaking as a Federer nut... to pull yourself together after losing two consecutive tie breaks... speaks of incredible mental strength too. Hats off to the Matador. X
I remember watching this final wanting federer to win but watched it as a neutral, nadal deserved it that year. Best tennis match I’ve ever watched hands down
Novak has more titles than both of them and better win records 3-0 against federer in Wimbledon finals. GOAT 23 titles. Novak. Hate him or Love him …It’s the facts.
it is important the meaning of that shot Federer won 5 Wimbledons in a row This was his 6th final in a row Nadal was 2 sets up This fh passing gave Nadal 2 mps i think 😅 So the moment if pressure is what makes crowd behave that way Learn to think 😅
At the time it was just a rivalry made in heaven Fire vs ice, Nadal with his fiery momentum and Federer's ice cool composure. Nadal was better on clay and Federer was on grass. Even the 2 passing shots nadals ridiculous forehand and Federer's composed backhand down the line complementing it while championship point down. Pure quality
Curious to notice that he even lost this tie break… And Roger did have his chances to win the 5th set. certainly still one of the most legendary matches of all times.
STUNNING! is RIGHT! Never before and Never Again will we see Such A Stunning MAN ( In EVERY WAY ) Grace the Tennis world again! He literally changed the Face of Tennis with his Wild Beauty - Both his looks and warrior style of play just took our breath away! He is the Perfect Storm. Beautiful to watch.
the two greatest passing shots back to back
Yes but this shot was special
I think the next one was special because it was a championship point
@@gagansingh9622 was a great backhand for sure! But Nadal forehand one of the best shots ever....behind the baseline...

This joke is getting old
Will miss these two Legends ❤️
they should team up and play doubles for a few years. perfect sunset to two incredible careers and fans would eat it up like tiramisu.

No hay comparación con los demás
Just to good..Rafa is masterful at passing shots..

He was so fast back then.
One of the Nadal's most iconic victories.
I would say it is the most iconic career defining victory for Nadal
En su libro explica cómo fue su triunfo en este partido. Lo recomiendo a todo el mundo.
and one of the greatest matches of all time@@prateek752

Unbelievable
I remember watching this live. What a game
Nobody can be as iconic as RN. Bulging biceps, long hair, 3/4ths and matches won purely on defense. Most iconic tennis player ❤
Unbelievable!
VAMOOOOOOS RAFAAAAA 💪🏻🎾❤️🇪🇸
ICONIC indeed ❤❤❤❤❤
Nadal has the best passing shots of all time!
I believe so !!
Yessss indeed !!!
few things in sport are as satisfying as watching Federer's forehand. Nadal's passing shots are one of them.
Nadal hitting winners off winners!
The best passing shot of all time
Best passing shot is the next one to save Match point
@@blistering2900 And also the one Djokovic pulled against Federer in 2019
No one makes these kind of shots. Nadal GOAT!
Tennis will never be the same😢
There is no better shot in tennis than rafa’s forehand…
😂
Federer's forehand ;) Aesthetic as hell
Lolllll del porto 's forehand? Wawrinka 's backhand?
what a shot
I remember watching this final wanting federer to win but watched it as a neutral, nadal deserved it that year. Best tennis match I’ve ever watched hands down
He is damn good...great!
++
I miss roger
Perhaps this match is why Rafa is the GOAT.
Lol 😂 no it’s not and Djokovic is goat I think
Rafa did it once, Djokovic did it 3 times
Nadal is the King
Les deux me manque déjà rien que d'imaginer que rafa va partir et Federer et parti ça m'a fait trop de la peine 😢
One minute love Federer, one minute love Nadal, hard to choose. ..😀😆
Novak has more titles than both of them and better win records 3-0 against federer in Wimbledon finals. GOAT 23 titles. Novak. Hate him or Love him …It’s the facts.
Two maestros
Those were the good ol days
fans need to riot until Roger and Rafa agree to team up and play doubles together for 3 more years.
the next passing shot is even greater 😅
The banana shot. It's a classic Nadal's weapon. Do not ever attack Nadal on his left, making him run to hit the ball...!
they never played to the crowd like is common these days. It was just two warriors battling for supremacy.
saw it happen LIVE UN-blvble!
The shot after tho
The last shot is the forehand.
The greatest backhand of all time
The passing shot on the literal next point was better
Almost. Roger guessed right which put him in a better position. Nadal expected him to cover the open court.
Esto ya no se verá más, jugando uno contra otro en ATP ...los dos mejores de la historia
Just look at rafa😍😍DAMNN HOT!!
The crowd act like it’s the best point of all time 😂
Well it's one of the best
it is important the meaning of that shot
Federer won 5 Wimbledons in a row
This was his 6th final in a row
Nadal was 2 sets up
This fh passing gave Nadal 2 mps i think
😅
So the moment if pressure is what makes crowd behave that way
Learn to think 😅
@@jayp123 I didn’t say it wasn’t
El mejor sin duda.
Federer's backhand was more iconic when nadal was on match point and federer saved it.
Can't believe I will never see these two play again!😢
Nadal will play from the end of 2023 he is not done yet
@@ramjeenakka586 I was implying together! Nadal will not play in 2023- at all!
@@edkiely2712 he will play from 2023 Davis cup
When Nadal doesn't grunt, it smells danger...
Nadals speed and footwork vs Federes Accuracy and backhand what a duel man
Monumental
Efsane ikili bu yıllar asla unutulmaz
nice tennis

i cried that night.. with roger..😢
How do i slice when a low skidding slice is coming at me? Its hard to lift the ball over the net. Need to scoop under?
Curious to notice that he even lost this tie break… And Roger did have his chances to win the 5th set. certainly still one of the most legendary matches of all times.
The 2 GOATs
Qué fabulosa pareja de tenistas.
Best match ever.
Followed by Federer's iconic backhand passing shot.
Nadal was in beat shape ever in 2008
That ladies pre-scream lol
The year Rafa dethroned Roger Federer at Wimbledon.....and made him (Federer) cry like a 👶
Re Roger ultimo tennista di classe a rete ....ormai puntano tutto sulla potenza da fondo campo
To get to match point.
Spoiler alert Roger saved it.
Feds flick backhand to save match point was better. Ice in his veins.
This match definitely took years off their families lives 🤣
today..it kind of looks 'weak' & slow compared to Alcaraz's fore hand passing shots..
Best time for steroids
wow 😮
