Agassi, on his autobiography Open, describing this match: ''I go to Montreal and scratch and claw my way to the final against a Spanish kid everyone is talking about. Rafael Nadal. I can't beat him. I can't fathom him. I've never seen anyone move like that on a tennis court''.
Agassi spoke the truth about that particular day. I was amazed at more than a few returns from Nadal. He never gives up. He still keeps fighting. It isn't over, until Nadal says it's over.
@@andyroo9381 Djokovic destroyed him and avenged Agassi.
@@cloudman8911 Djokovic has nothing to do with this particular final. As for my retort; Nadal has "destroyed" Djokovic as well. Your comment doesn't mean anything to this final between Nadal and Agassi.
@@andyroo9381 Djokovic destroyed Nadal many more Times. The ONLY surface that Nadal is better is on clay. As i Said Djokovic Avenged Agassi. This victory meant anything, because Agassi was old and seriously injured in the back.
@@cloudman8911 ''Many more times''... As far as I'm concerned, the Djokovic-Nadal rivalry is a pretty even one: 30-28. This victory meant another M1000 for Rafa.
Agassi still played some great stuff here, considering he was at the end of his career and the level of Nadal's defence was just something else.
Man this Nadal/Agassi match was the first match I've ever seen Nadal play in. I remember seeing his explosiveness after the coin toss and was like.. "this dude is the real deal" haha
this is making me so nostalgic... I remember watching this match on my cousins tv in Mexico
Prime Nadal right there.
Unparalleled.
Prime Rafa is 2008, 2010, 2013 Rafa, not this Rafa
@@mosemobuckland4287 What you mean is peak Rafa, not prime.
@@masters.1000 I can tell that you spend way too much time overthinking this shit
@@mosemobuckland4287 Nadal in 2005 won 11 titles. That’s GOAT level stuff
@@mosemobuckland4287 Djokovic destroyed him.
Nadal would have beaten anyone playing like that
No.
It's like you're watching an old tennis classic and then realizing "oh yeah Nadal is still playing". The guy has crossed more than 1 generation now, truly unbelievable. Even though Agassi was on his way out (ret. 2006) his ATP rank was 5 at this time in 2005.
Yeah, no chance you win against that type of defense if it was clay. He was doing that on hard, so there's no chance to hit through him.
Hence why he didn't lose a clay match that year
@abhi reddy ok, he didn’t lose one after that or throughout 2006
Except for The Djoker
@@djokovicgreatest8720 Djokovic can’t run that. And he don’t hit winners from Rafa did
Never wanna hear people say Alcaraz is the greatest mover on the tennis court after watching this, just incredible from rafa.
Jeeez ive only seen a couple of clips from this match but kept forgetting to search for the actual highlights. Now I want to see the full thing.
Exciting game…..more power to Rafa to win and win as the days go by..
Nadal and Federer is The GOAT Of Tennis❤️❤️
😐
Ah to be so young…
アガシのライジングやばすぎるやろ、、
Just the movement was pretty increadable - Agassi still had enough off the ground to challenge Nadal - but needed one more weapon to beat him : a decent volley and the instinct on when to use it . that combo could have beaten rafa on this day
Increadable match - both gave their all
This was a rough match for me. I remember it well. Huge Agassi fan at the time and I already started loving Nadal at this point. I was so stunned at how he moved on the court against Agassi! And Agassi played incredibly well. ♥️♥️ Both.
@The King's Game
Can you tell me why 2005 Montreal, Cincinnati, Indian Wells and Miami Masters final were best of 3 sets, while the remaining 2005 Masters finals like in Monte Carlo, Rome, Hamburg, Paris and Madrid were best of 5 sets? Why were they not kept consistent by the ATP? They could have kept all Masters 1000 finals be played with best of 5 sets that time. What ATP did in 2009 to make all Masters 1000 finals played in best of 3 sets, that was good. But why they followed such inconsistency back in 2005, I don't understand it.
Miami's final was also best of 5 sets back then. Remember the final between Federer & Nadal that year (2005).
Las finales antes no eran al mejor d 5 sets?
Best of 5 sets were/are for Grand Slam tournaments only - Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and USOpen. All others were/are best of 3 sets.
I pileve he is going to take the 4 Gram Slam ant he is going to end his career
I like that he would play more 😏 and I hope this is not the end but samthing is telling me that the retirement is near and personally I hate it I don't thing I can whoch tennis again if Nadal does not Playing any more 🤔 its so sad.
There are coming new big talents like Alcaraz Sinner and Musetti, when oldies go new ones always come
Aggasi in his time was known for playing and winning rallies. But then came Rafa!
Nadals serve and return here were actually the key factors not defense.
Not gonna like vid cuz it’s at 69 likes
