@Avinash Anand are hypothesis,as you want the end is the same no way to win the tournament either the case Dj was tired or that 76ranked diserved take him first 2 sets.Not enough to win against Nadal
Mentally and physically there wasn’t enough in the tank for Musetti. A good lesson for him though. Hope to see good things after this showing. He knows he can play at that level, he just has to be consistent and keep fighting. What makes Nole one of the best.
@Filip Misic I think it was mental and physical breakdown when he retired. Nole came back in those 2 sets so strongly, and I think he was tired and felt defeated after getting dominated, even though he was still square going into the fifth. Nole showed he still has that edge in him, by sticking it out, instead of thinking after 2 down, that he was done. He fought every point, and I think it took a lot out of Musetti to win those first 2 sets.
@@pradykadapa1551 The guy is 19 years old. He was running top speeds the whole match and literally smashed the ball of the court at full power just minutes before retiring. He could obviously walk and he could've easily made 8 Unforced Errors and finished the match, but he didn't do it because his ego didn't allow him. That same ego will disable him to ever become n1 and one of the best. Tennis is 90% mentality and 10% physicality. It is basically a game. of chess and there's no room for mentaly unstable and weak.
Filip Misic Nah its an old psychological strategy called 'self handicapping', if you have an injury then you remove the expectations and it becomes a win win. If you lose - blame injury, if you win....well you won.
Djokovic almost has as many Grand Slams as Musetti's age. Incredible performance from Musetti in the first 2 sets against Novak. Edit: Djokovic has as many slams as Musetti's age. Edit 2: Djokovic has more slams than Musetti's age.
This match was proof that there's a psychological gulf between a talented player on the rise and an all-time great who's played at the highest level for over a decade.
Again....it was not a mental breakdown...Jesus Christ. Did you even watch the match? Of course not. Musetti was outplaying Nole. And then something happened, which because of the abruptness for sure it was something physical. wtf
@@AriPerdragon Injury is a part of professional playing. If he fails to handle that, he's out. Djokovic is far better than an emerging young player. He stands against such situations countless times.
He retired too with Dere too with one set all and trailing 4-1 at Forte Village Sardegna Open semi-final match. He has certainly talent by beating Dimitrov, Schwartzman, Goffin, Gulbis, Wawrinka. But, his body is fragile at such a young age. He needs to work on the physicality of the game. There are talented guys like Del Potro and Murray but their career has been hounded by injuries.
@@liebebile6515 I didn't say they are the same. All I said is he is a talented tennis player just like Del Potro and Murray. But, he retired last year at such a young age in an ATP tour. Then, there must be something wrong that he needs to work on.
@@minguyen2589 Hello Nguyen, we should appreciate the effort of the youngster, shouldn’t we? He isn’t even 20 years old yet, and he won 2 sets on tiebreaks against the world number 1 and the greatest tennis player ever.
@@mezomoza7 Just excuses. When Nadal was 19 years old he actually won RG, including beating peak Federer in the semifinals. 2005 Nadal would have beaten today's Djokovic in 3-4 sets, no doubt about it. Musetti on the other hand should get credit for losing 6-1 6-0 6-0 after the second set? A 19 years old had no stamina to compete against a 34 years old.
@@afrofeast Because it was a joy to watch. The tennis Musetti was performing in the first 2 sets was definitely top 5, maybe top 3 level, with an unbelievable number of breathtaking shots and rallies from him. The guy is fantastically talented. By far the most talented young player, when we consider purely tennis skills.
@Internet Research Agency lol.. 7-6 from 1st and 2nd set are very close. "thrashed" is during 3rd and 4th, and 5th set if he didn't retire will also be the same conclusion.
@Rio De Novak is almost twice older, and still can "outrun" 19 year olds. And if you wanna talk bs "and if not" he was at his early 20s, 6:0 6:0 6:0 for Novak. Get real dude.
Consistency and experience played a huge role here. Musetti showed that he can outplay Nole in most balls during the first two sets (example of consistency). However, Nole's high level stretched farther until the end of the match (More prolonged consistency). And that's the result of experience! Great match.
Well said - exactly the point. Add the GRIT (never-give-up attitude) and CLUTCH to prolonged consistency !!! Only Rafa and Nole can overcome such hurdles... no one else !!!
Honestly you can’t have been watching the match thinking Djokovic got even close to his level in the first 2 sets. Credit to musetti for taking the game to him and playing very mature and great tennis! But then Djokovic just seemed to relax and hit bigger, without missing, as we have seen so often. No chance from there on. In a few years, who knows what’ll be
Lol true but that was more than just staying calm. If you look at the score line after the first two sets, it's pretty clear that Nole felt like he should have never dropped those first two sets, and what ensued after that was a beatdown from Nole, both mentally and physically, that Musetti just could not withstand.
Outrageous Novak .always keep nerve calm till the end. When he was two sets down I knew he will comeback stronger and he did it.. world No.1 for a reason
Roland Garros highlights are the absolute fucking worst. Three and a half minute highlights for a match that went 5 sets and they didn't even include the point of the match. What a joke!
@@SK-qu4wo You're getting a free set of highlights without commercials and they've cut out all of the fluff. Maybe you can do it perfectly and upload it for all of us?

Yes - tat symbolizes the entire match - Nole and RAFA are the only 2 players (of course there are a few like FERRER but at this level) who aren't DOWN until the last point is WON. BEASTS !!! OLD WARLORDS OF TENNIS !!!
This was a warning. Musseti has everything to be in the fight for the top five, at least. Hopefully his team will take him on the right track and know how to handle it to polish and increase his game and mentality. If so, the next year may have enormous growth.
What warning? He was just lucky in the first 2 sets, Djoko has 20+ unforced errors. Musetti retired to save his ass when he was buried alive by Djoko in the 3rd and 4th sets, then 4-0 at the 5th... He should finish the game whatever the outcome... It seems that his ego is bigger than his talent...
Props to Musetti, 19 years old and playing in his debut Grand Slam, making it to the fourth round and taking two sets from the world No.1 is a big achievement! He is going to do well in the future
Musetti is 19 years old like me and like me next week we have the final maturity exam of high school, the difference is that I'm complaining about the study and other stuff in this moment instead he has played one of the toughest tennis tournament and in the same time he's studying for the exam... 😌😌
This gotta be the most sharp turn around in a match I've ever seen, it's almost like Novak tricked musetti by lying down, and then completely put lorenzo into submission after the 2nd. Musetti wasn't even hurt...(he did run out of gas in the 5th tho, cant blame him, kids 19 and played a 5 setter in his previous round). Just shows that Djokovic is never truly out of a match until you win that match point
@Rio De there's a difference between an injury and your body giving out on you. Musetti's body ran out of gas by the end of 4th, the fatigue might've made him stretch a muscle there in the end of 4th, but he was 100% not hurt in the 3rd. Like it's okay if his body gave out on him tho, ain't no shame in that, he's freaking 19 and played a 5 setter the round before. And of course you can lose like that, have you play tennis, very often you'd see score lines like 6-7,6-1,6-1, it wasn't as if musetti was killing djokovic in the 1st and 2nd, it was obvious djokovic raised his level in the 3rd. I'm big on lorenzo, his future's bright but he's not ready to take out a goat at a slam yet
@Rio De If the roles were reversed and Djokovic had retired you'd be calling him a quitter and a faker. Musetti wasn't injured in the third set and he got creamed. He wasn't injured in the fourth and got creamed. He wasn't injured in the fifth, either. He was tired. Djokovic upped his own game in the third, figured out Musetti's game, and demonstrated the psychological gulf between an all-time great and a talented player with momentum. Wake TF up, asshole.
Everyone who watched that match knows that this kid had an insane match and tournament overall. Massive talent, and definitely what the new era of tennis needs. Also he already has the top 2 shots of the tournament in the previous round.
Musetti played some INCREDIBLE tennis those first two sets. That was definitely his A+ tennis... and it took that just to win the first two sets. Meanwhile, Djokovic went from B- to B+ tennis to start the 3rd... and we all see what happened. This right here shows just how amazing the Big 3 really are. Especially at the Slams when you need to win 3 out of 5. I do think Musetti suffered a slight bump, but his moral was hurt even more because that's what those 3 guys can do.
No we won't. If he reaches that height, he will have bigger sets, bigger comebacks, bigger losses and bigger victories. If he fails to become the superstar, it will be bc he failed to overcome this loss and many like them, bc there will be plenty more.
Lol, you must be kidding... Musetti will be among the greats by winning lucky 2 sets with Djoko's 20+ unforced errors? I think the best thing to remember him is that he CHOKE... He should finish the game but because his ego is so big that he cannot bear it anymore, he retired without any reason...
A lot of people forgot to give Novak the credit he deserved, regardless Musetti was injured or not in the final set, you saw how Novak turned things around from third set, he played cleaner, more aggressive and smarter tactic! Musetti reminds me a lot of Grigor, a lot of potential and promises, but still questionable!
from my point of view he needs too much energy to win points. he is fun to watch but winning 7 matches on 3 of 5 distance you cannot expect to win every single point with a winner miracle. From third set, Nole put on another gear to the game, there wasn't no room anymore for mistakes. he played with more spin, more angle and more weight on the ball while the hopes and energy of the other started to fade. Musetti reminds me more a Gasquet than a Dimitrov. great all around game, but not enough to be a slam champion.
@@ugopiccardougopiccardo9273 I disagree. He has a lot more potential than Gasquet. For one Musetti is an excellent athlete while Gasquet is mediocre. Gasquet has a stylish backhand but not much else in his game stands out. Musetti has good potential on all of his strokes. Have you ever seen Gasquet give Novak the kind of trouble he got from Musetti in the first 2 sets? Musetti needs to work some on court position. He stays too far back. And obviously conditioning so he can maintain the intensity level for 5 sets against top players.
@@kchuk1965 reminds me Gasquet as a guy with an all around game, a strange forehand and a stylish backhand, but you are right to say that he is a better athlete and that he has to work on the position on court. he stays way too far from base line, mostly due to his huge swings on both sides, he need time to stroke and a lot of energy. I think that his game is overall a lot energy demanding and he will have problem with endurance even in the years to come. we will see what he will do. italian movment at the moment has at least 6 players worth to keep an eye on, hoping for Nardi and Zeppieri to step up and reach the others.
2:00 Musetti reminds me of a young Federer. That on the rise down the line backhand is so reminiscent of the graceful trickery Federer's game is known for. Few can make Novak stumble on his feet like that. Great potential.
He reminds me of Federer too, how he gets destroyed by Djokovic, also has a great choke something he can work on so that he can choke late in the fifth as opposed to resigning
@Ryo Sushuke ha ha ha.............u really take seriously that match ? in which planet u living and u did not knew in which form rafa was from R.G 2014 TO R.G 2017 in which time h never won one slam and most of times was usually just in the top 10 rankings ? that 2015 match should have ended like 6-0......6-0....6-0......for nole so rafa in his condition taking 9 games from nole was an achievement.......ha ha......by your logic then u can caount rafa's withdrwal from 2016 R.G and round 3 match as rafa WAS SCARED TO FACE HIS OPPONENT AND THAT'S WHY HE QUIT THE MATCH...........................PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RAFA WHEN HE IS OK HE NEVER LOST TO ANYONE IN R.G EXCEPT THAT R.4 DEFEAT IN 2009 FROM SODERLING. NOW PREPAIRE FOR RAFA TO KICK NOLE'S ASS ONE MORE TIME TOMORROW........................PAIN IS COMING
Musetti's game really reminds me of a young Federer. That one handed backhand and all the crafty shots he came up with make him a very promising player.
Let's be real both first sets were decided by a tie-break. Meaning they were pretty close 2 sets, could have gone any way. Musetti was more lucky in those deciding tie-breaks but to actually win you need more than luck. If he won those sets taking Novak's serve I'd be sure he'd win, but this way even after 0-2 I knew Musetti had no chance. Not in this universe, not in any other. Because he was playing Djokovic.
@@petemitchell9996 Musetti's win in the tiebreaks was not luck. He was the better player in those tiebreakers (and sets). His tiebreak record this year on the ATP Tour level (including this match with Novak) is 7-0. That's not a coincidence, that's not luck.
@@petemitchell9996 Oh man, it's always like this. "He won, but the adversary was only the number 5, it's not like he won with the Big3". "Oh he won against Djokovic, but it's a minor tournament, it's not like he can really win in a slam". "Oh he won two sets, but Djokovic was not playing good, so he was just letting him win/it was only luck." People cannot recognize that the Next Gen and especially the italian ones are very good players and they would have been great champions in any other context. The big3 are not the standard for tennis, they are the exception. And they too are beginning to let down matches here and there, but for some reason when one wins against them, or even when one makes their life difficult, it doesn't count because reasons.
Exactly, it's not just 'luck' as some are saying trying to take credit away from Novak's victory. Musetti played very well in the first 2 sets, all credit goes to him for that, but you also need a ton of mental strength to win against Novak at this level of tennis.
@@adamcang4683 He wasnt injured in first two sets. He was injured when he started to lose so bad. Rafa and Roger could never in critical situations like this. Djokovic has defended more match points than Musetti will ever. Djokovic the GOAT! stay mad
"It's not an injury. It's just a little bit of cramps and a little bit of low back pain. There was no chance that I could win a point, so I decided to retire because I think it was the best thing."
Great match but mental fortitude of Novak came through. There is a reason why the top guys stay where they are. Still good to see young talent trying to push their way upward.
while I was watching the game live I kept saying "Musetti is at at 100 speed and Djokvic is at 80. the moment he slows down he will be surpassed by Djokovic". Musetti has a very fun game to watch, but its also very demanding. he has large swings on both sides and has to be 100% fit to make the plays that he has in his game. he pushed his body a bit too far to stay in the match and he had to pay for that. Djokovic has a much efforless game and his average speed cruise for the game lets him stay at the same level for hours. he waited the momentum to fade, and raised above the physical breakdown of the other. in the end it was a great show from both players. the best match of the tournament so far.
Incredible first two sets but in my opinion you don’t give up like that. If it’s 6:0 in the 5th, well then it’s 6:0, but that’s part of the game. Novak or Rafa would have never given up like that…
Well, he claimed he was injured, but whether that's true or not, clearly, from that point on, he knew it was impossible, to come back, and he's getting his prize money anyway, so what has he got to lose, literally? Hitting a few extra balls, and basically knowing you're going to lose anyway, for the same prize money, nah, ain't worth it.
This Next Gen never fails to disappoint. Same happening with Sinner right now. Serves for the first set, then loses it 5-7. No wonder those guys have been winning all the slams for the past 15 years 🙈
Musetti at least had a good reason for fading and he made his performance count in the 1st 2 sets, Sinner on the other hand has played incredible vs Nadal every time....right up until it really matters.
I think Sinner is going to prove my point again in the next 15 minutes, he's just done brilliantly to get 2 breaks of serve back and it's 4-3 on serve. What are the odds he loses the set 6-3 or 6-4 after all that hard work?
Particularity of Champions, they know how to suffer and take punches. Strong mentally and ability to respond when opportunity come back their way to punish you back.
the first 2 sets were unbelievable. I’ve never underrated Musetti and i’ll never do it because is such a great and strong Tennis Player. His retire didn’t mean he was coward for not finishing or anything like that, he thought about his health and that was a wise choice…he is the moral winner of this game, no doubt. Musetti, sei l’orgoglio italiano
@@bellabana they could still show idk his FACE? The handshake? The exchange at net or on side line? The cause of injury? The moment he decided to stop and why? Zero context for viewer
@@bryanmartin5901 they always show the handshake at the end of other matches but maybe not when a player retires, they probably assumed everyone watching already knew how the match ended but they could’ve included it out of courtesy.
@XRP SNIPER raquet skills form only 1 aspect of a tennis player.. Winner is made with many more things.. Noles hunger at this age was 1000 x than musetti. I swear we could see it in eyes and tat to me is the gr8st inspirer towards gr8ness. Have desire to win.. Baby !!!
2:05 - good sport from Djokovic, applauding Musetti. It’s one thing to be gracious and applauding while you’re winning, but another altogether when you’re losing and not even sure if you’re gonna turn it around.
How many matches you've already played also counts, so Musetti winning 2 sets against Djokovic was unthinkable before the match. There's no surprise if an ATP nr 1 beats a 19 years old player, but give credit to the young boy able to make him sweat more than Berrettini (Nr 9) last night.
@@minguyen2589 Natural? Whats natural nowadays? The Big Three still ruling Tennis - is it natural? When was the last time a 19 year old took down the World No.1 ? And, Djokovic/Nadal/Federer are hell bent upon cementing their legacies ( with the GS count of course ), so yeah I still think Djokovic got a scare there.
@@arunraju9705 Scare the S**T is a pretty blown out vocab imho....used for a player who has seen, faced such scenarios and come out on top..... more than ANYBODY else in HISTORY of the GAME.

Feeling of Losing to somebody on ROD LAVER (AO) arena.... match he played with an injury against Taylor Fritz - that's the closest to "SCARE the S**T out of Djokovic'
@@petemitchell9996 Tiredness/injury, more or less the same thing, in fact, tiredness is even harder to prove, anyone can claim tiredness, when they're going to get a bagel, and I find it very weird, that a player 15 years younger, would actually feel more tired, than a 34 year old man! Not to mention, he only recently played a 5 set marathon, against someone younger than Novak, and didn't feel fatigue at all, or he wouldn't have fought, to the last bone.
@@dieanotherdaydefender7938 not all but this one was. You can gain so much knowledge about strategies, mental preparation and court conditions from those interviews. It depends who you are and what you are looking for. I know that Muzetti was not injured but suffering from cramps and that he retired because he felt he could not win a point. Also the game was a learning curve for him. Sometimes press conferences clear up the air on what actually occurred.
@@Elena-uo4dd he has done this in many tournaments just to create some drama and have people say he is such a warrior. I didn’t even notice it until all his whining about he was injured at the Aussie Open this year. Wonder why he played better after he made people believe he was injured? Maybe it’s a coincidence but at every slam, he has drama moments and rips his shirt off like oh my god, can you believe I did this? All coincidence for you guys. Also, your last name is Dragisic so you must be a local fan of his.
@@michaelwou1667 I don’t think anyone would consciously want to be 2 sets down it’s not ideal and there’s no guarantees he will always come out of it victorious. However due to Novak’s experience and mentality he was able to shift to higher gears and Musetti faltered
@@thang92 check Djoker’s match history, he does it a lot in grand slam cause those are 5 set matches. By the time he gets there, his opponents are tired out. He did it a few time with Next Gen guys like Tsitsipas and it almost cost him the match. Check it out for yourself before you just say In My Opinion. Facts don’t lie and have no feelings
Watch this match: Djokovic is going to lose! Third set: yep not enough time in video for a comeback Fifth set: makes comeback.. Why did I ever doubt you Djokovic..
There is nothing to add for Djokovic, he is a master, BUT Lorenzo Musetti is a really talented kid. No doubts in short time he will be able to face with his tennis all the best players. Honestly there are some talented young tennis player but Musetti and his inventions on court leave me astonished. Even if you lost Lorenzo, congratulations you have a gift. Keep your chin up, learn, absorb and then show to the world your numbers.
There was so much more to show: 1) The power-cross-forehand where Nole looked at Lorenzo like: "Really man? How could you do that?". 2) That incredible rally where Lorenzo stepped on the Lacoste commercial and almost broke his ankle. 3) That moment when Lorenzo was playing so unbelievably well that Nole made a face like: "What can one do against these shots"? 4) At least 2 Wawrinka-like backhands from Lorenzo. You know what I mean. This match has been a thing of beauty. Really. Lorenzo ran suddenly and completely out of physical energy, between the 2nd and the 3rd set. He never played a 5-set-match in his young life, before the match with Cecchinato (and this one). But the way he outplayed the historical number one, Novak Djokovic, aged 19, on the biggest stage, in both tie-breaks, has been unforgettable. These highlights show nothing, you got to see somehow the whole match. Trust me.
This has been a superb tournament for Musetti. He enters a grand slam for the first time, bagels his opponent in the first set of his first match, wins his first ever five set match, and wins the first two sets against Djokovic in their first meeting. He's well on his way to being a grand slam champion.
I think he ran out of energy from his last match which was also a incredible 5 setter so after the first two sets against Djokovic he probably couldn’t move
@@sesfabregas88 This makes no sense. He was in pain and could've worsen the injury and Nole didn't need to tire himself more than he did. It would've been a lose-lose situation.
You didn't show the point where Djokovic slipped and fell flat on his stomach mid-rally, then pushed himself back up and hit a defensive shot on his knees, and then eventually won the point ?
@@anocri Thanks I Truly appreciate your likes and your comments on my RUclips this is my new fan page on RUclips to appreciate and thanks all my wonderful and awesome fans thanks y'all you can reach me by my private email: ndjokovic668@gmail.com, I will be waiting for your response
Based on the highlights I would have to conjecture that Djokovic didn't realize this player would be a threat. But to those who think the difference was psychological, I point out that you can *hear* the cracks from Djokovic's racket striking the ball in the last three sets--and that they are somewhat louder than they were in the first two sets. I think over the years Djokovic has made a science of delivering just enough effort to win. You can't stay at the top like he has by going all out every match. In this case, he realized he really had a to turn it on and when he did Musetti didn't know what hit him.
Djokovic really shouldn't have lost the first two sets. He wasn't nearly clinical enough when he was ahead and he paid the price against a surprisingly composed and super talented youngster. He found a way in the end though and that's what matters.
Broken wrist? Sprained ankle? No, the old "My back..." Funny he was running around fine until Novak made it 4-0. Like the baby couldn't have played out the last 2 games? No class, but hey... he's a punk teen.
its 5 sets, not 3. you have to be really fit to play 5 sets. even a young player will lose his engergy after two hard sets. novak is used to pushing his body to the limit and knows how to conserve his energy when needed.
Here, two mental giants met. Musetti has the highest percentage of tiebreaks won among all the players on tour (90.9%), so he's definitely mentally tough, but doesn't yet have enough experience at the highest level. In time, I think we can expect great things from this young man.
Djokovic hit a ball while down and won the point afterward, yet RG didn't put this on the highlight. Great job.
Rofl🤣
exactly！good job RG
Good job
Great job, RG!
Good job pointing that out haha
Mussetti: OK I just need one more set.
Novak: Today I am gonna teach you about energy conservation

@Filip Misic I think it was mental and physical breakdown when he retired. Nole came back in those 2 sets so strongly, and I think he was tired and felt defeated after getting dominated, even though he was still square going into the fifth. Nole showed he still has that edge in him, by sticking it out, instead of thinking after 2 down, that he was done. He fought every point, and I think it took a lot out of Musetti to win those first 2 sets.

Should feel proud of himself despite the retirement.

@@minguyen2589 Hello Nguyen, we should appreciate the effort of the youngster, shouldn’t we?
He isn’t even 20 years old yet, and he won 2 sets on tiebreaks against the world number 1 and the greatest tennis player ever.
@@mezomoza7 Just excuses. When Nadal was 19 years old he actually won RG, including beating peak Federer in the semifinals. 2005 Nadal would have beaten today's Djokovic in 3-4 sets, no doubt about it. Musetti on the other hand should get credit for losing 6-1 6-0 6-0 after the second set? A 19 years old had no stamina to compete against a 34 years old.
unbelievable for 2 sets. but it's best of 5.
@@hopy51 in a normal tournament Musetti would have won 2 sets to 0 , so shut up
First two sets deserved 10 minutes highlights themselves.
Absolutely bro, Musetti was really phenomenal
Why when he ultimately lost?
@@afrofeast that's sport. You can be great and still lose.
@@afrofeast Because it was a joy to watch. The tennis Musetti was performing in the first 2 sets was definitely top 5, maybe top 3 level, with an unbelievable number of breathtaking shots and rallies from him. The guy is fantastically talented. By far the most talented young player, when we consider purely tennis skills.
i totally agree, i want to find a replica of the whole game because i still am shaking for the beauty of those two sets
What an incredible effort that was from Musetti! Novak is an absolute warrior though!
lol incredible "effort" in the 1st and 2nd set....kid quitted with no injury
@Internet Research Agency lol.. 7-6 from 1st and 2nd set are very close. "thrashed" is during 3rd and 4th, and 5th set if he didn't retire will also be the same conclusion.
@Rio De Novak is almost twice older, and still can "outrun" 19 year olds. And if you wanna talk bs "and if not" he was at his early 20s, 6:0 6:0 6:0 for Novak. Get real dude.
@@Lil7672 new ryo shushuke i think
@@gselita wtf ahahahaha, obviously you are serbian
Consistency and experience played a huge role here. Musetti showed that he can outplay Nole in most balls during the first two sets (example of consistency). However, Nole's high level stretched farther until the end of the match (More prolonged consistency). And that's the result of experience! Great match.
Well said - exactly the point. Add the GRIT (never-give-up attitude) and CLUTCH to prolonged consistency !!! Only Rafa and Nole can overcome such hurdles... no one else !!!
Experience does help you shit, the boy was just done after two sets
Honestly you can’t have been watching the match thinking Djokovic got even close to his level in the first 2 sets. Credit to musetti for taking the game to him and playing very mature and great tennis! But then Djokovic just seemed to relax and hit bigger, without missing, as we have seen so often. No chance from there on. In a few years, who knows what’ll be
@Internet Research Agency Yes, which kind of injury and what was the reason for this?
@@oest10 They were pretty much equal in the first two sets
The big difference is to know how to stay calm till the end! Novak knows how to do it!
Yes but musetti is 19 years old
Lol true but that was more than just staying calm. If you look at the score line after the first two sets, it's pretty clear that Nole felt like he should have never dropped those first two sets, and what ensued after that was a beatdown from Nole, both mentally and physically, that Musetti just could not withstand.
Musetti was in pain and almost injuried. That was the only problem.

Yes - tat symbolizes the entire match - Nole and RAFA are the only 2 players (of course there are a few like FERRER but at this level) who aren't DOWN until the last point is WON.
BEASTS !!! OLD WARLORDS OF TENNIS !!!
Where's the point that Djokovic won while lying down on the court?? Are you kidding not to include that??
I guess that explains why he's #1!
This was a warning. Musseti has everything to be in the fight for the top five, at least. Hopefully his team will take him on the right track and know how to handle it to polish and increase his game and mentality. If so, the next year may have enormous growth.
Absolutely agree. Musetti is an incredible talent and hopefully we'll see big things from him in the future.
Meh I think he is a flop and like the other next gem boys will flop too
Top 5 what a joke comment lol
What warning? He was just lucky in the first 2 sets, Djoko has 20+ unforced errors. Musetti retired to save his ass when he was buried alive by Djoko in the 3rd and 4th sets, then 4-0 at the 5th... He should finish the game whatever the outcome... It seems that his ego is bigger than his talent...
He hasn’t got the attributes to be a big time player. Even if he has the shots, his mentality is weak and just retired to avoid double bagel
Awesome level of tennis from Musetti in the first two sets. If he can work on his fitness, he will be a real force to be reckoned with.
Mannn, this guy 🇮🇹 really impressed me. He could be the future NO1. Also, great turnaround for Đoković 🍻 GG.
Grand Slams= Best of five= Giants mental and physical toughness= Big 3 and the great of all times (Federer, Nadal and Djokovic). That's it.
Not such thing as Big 3. Its Big 2, Djokovic and Nadal

Props to Musetti, 19 years old and playing in his debut Grand Slam, making it to the fourth round and taking two sets from the world No.1 is a big achievement! He is going to do well in the future
First title now. He should have a good career
Musetti is 19 years old like me and like me next week we have the final maturity exam of high school, the difference is that I'm complaining about the study and other stuff in this moment instead he has played one of the toughest tennis tournament and in the same time he's studying for the exam... 😌😌
i thought he was in his late 20s early 30s
This gotta be the most sharp turn around in a match I've ever seen, it's almost like Novak tricked musetti by lying down, and then completely put lorenzo into submission after the 2nd. Musetti wasn't even hurt...(he did run out of gas in the 5th tho, cant blame him, kids 19 and played a 5 setter in his previous round). Just shows that Djokovic is never truly out of a match until you win that match point
@Rio De So he wasn't injured 3rd and 4th and still got pummeled 6-1 6-0? I guess injured or not, didn't matter in the end though.
@Rio De there's a difference between an injury and your body giving out on you. Musetti's body ran out of gas by the end of 4th, the fatigue might've made him stretch a muscle there in the end of 4th, but he was 100% not hurt in the 3rd. Like it's okay if his body gave out on him tho, ain't no shame in that, he's freaking 19 and played a 5 setter the round before. And of course you can lose like that, have you play tennis, very often you'd see score lines like 6-7,6-1,6-1, it wasn't as if musetti was killing djokovic in the 1st and 2nd, it was obvious djokovic raised his level in the 3rd. I'm big on lorenzo, his future's bright but he's not ready to take out a goat at a slam yet
@Rio De MTO was just for a short slaughter break
@Rio De If the roles were reversed and Djokovic had retired you'd be calling him a quitter and a faker. Musetti wasn't injured in the third set and he got creamed. He wasn't injured in the fourth and got creamed. He wasn't injured in the fifth, either. He was tired. Djokovic upped his own game in the third, figured out Musetti's game, and demonstrated the psychological gulf between an all-time great and a talented player with momentum. Wake TF up, asshole.
@Rio De Watch highlights again, Musetti ran fast and normal even in the 5th set.
7-6, 7-6, a matter of details. After, Djoko showed he's the best, and smashed
First two sets is traing
Everyone who watched that match knows that this kid had an insane match and tournament overall. Massive talent, and definitely what the new era of tennis needs.
Also he already has the top 2 shots of the tournament in the previous round.
Musetti played some INCREDIBLE tennis those first two sets. That was definitely his A+ tennis... and it took that just to win the first two sets. Meanwhile, Djokovic went from B- to B+ tennis to start the 3rd... and we all see what happened. This right here shows just how amazing the Big 3 really are. Especially at the Slams when you need to win 3 out of 5. I do think Musetti suffered a slight bump, but his moral was hurt even more because that's what those 3 guys can do.
if Musetti goes on to be one of the greats, we will all remember those 2 sets.
No we won't. If he reaches that height, he will have bigger sets, bigger comebacks, bigger losses and bigger victories. If he fails to become the superstar, it will be bc he failed to overcome this loss and many like them, bc there will be plenty more.
Lol, you must be kidding... Musetti will be among the greats by winning lucky 2 sets with Djoko's 20+ unforced errors? I think the best thing to remember him is that he CHOKE... He should finish the game but because his ego is so big that he cannot bear it anymore, he retired without any reason...
There's no way Musetti is winning 18 GS. Screenshot this comment in 20 years. He will not be in the GOAT conversation like the big 3.
He will be a double digit GS winner. And in style like Federer.
A joy to watch for fellow tennis players, no matter what level.
@@trebronlibrand haters gonna hate
The point at 2:00 from Musetti is an absolutely stupendous piece of timing and racket head control. Truly out of this world.
2:04 no words for this. incredible gesture
Yes, I always thought he only does that when he's winning. But to do it at that stage of the match shows great character.
A lot of people forgot to give Novak the credit he deserved, regardless Musetti was injured or not in the final set, you saw how Novak turned things around from third set, he played cleaner, more aggressive and smarter tactic!
Musetti reminds me a lot of Grigor, a lot of potential and promises, but still questionable!
from my point of view he needs too much energy to win points. he is fun to watch but winning 7 matches on 3 of 5 distance you cannot expect to win every single point with a winner miracle.
From third set, Nole put on another gear to the game, there wasn't no room anymore for mistakes. he played with more spin, more angle and more weight on the ball while the hopes and energy of the other started to fade.
Musetti reminds me more a Gasquet than a Dimitrov. great all around game, but not enough to be a slam champion.
@@ugopiccardougopiccardo9273 I disagree. He has a lot more potential than Gasquet. For one Musetti is an excellent athlete while Gasquet is mediocre. Gasquet has a stylish backhand but not much else in his game stands out. Musetti has good potential on all of his strokes. Have you ever seen Gasquet give Novak the kind of trouble he got from Musetti in the first 2 sets? Musetti needs to work some on court position. He stays too far back. And obviously conditioning so he can maintain the intensity level for 5 sets against top players.
@@kchuk1965 reminds me Gasquet as a guy with an all around game, a strange forehand and a stylish backhand, but you are right to say that he is a better athlete and that he has to work on the position on court. he stays way too far from base line, mostly due to his huge swings on both sides, he need time to stroke and a lot of energy. I think that his game is overall a lot energy demanding and he will have problem with endurance even in the years to come. we will see what he will do. italian movment at the moment has at least 6 players worth to keep an eye on, hoping for Nardi and Zeppieri to step up and reach the others.
Musetti wasn't injured...he retired because there was no point in continuing
Novak broke him down. Unbelievable come back.
He is no1 !🤣
@@mazamamina7948 and?
2:00 Musetti reminds me of a young Federer. That on the rise down the line backhand is so reminiscent of the graceful trickery Federer's game is known for. Few can make Novak stumble on his feet like that. Great potential.
Without the forehand of course
He reminds me of Federer too, how he gets destroyed by Djokovic, also has a great choke something he can work on so that he can choke late in the fifth as opposed to resigning

I have never seen that much domination over the opponent after being 2 sets down in a major. Absolute GOAT stuff from the greatest ever. Nole ❤️🙌❤️.
watching the highlights as an Italian and hoping for a glitch in the universe so the match ends 3-0 for Musetti lol
Let's be real both first sets were decided by a tie-break. Meaning they were pretty close 2 sets, could have gone any way. Musetti was more lucky in those deciding tie-breaks but to actually win you need more than luck. If he won those sets taking Novak's serve I'd be sure he'd win, but this way even after 0-2 I knew Musetti had no chance. Not in this universe, not in any other.
Because he was playing Djokovic.
@@petemitchell9996 Musetti's win in the tiebreaks was not luck. He was the better player in those tiebreakers (and sets). His tiebreak record this year on the ATP Tour level (including this match with Novak) is 7-0. That's not a coincidence, that's not luck.
@@petemitchell9996 Oh man, it's always like this. "He won, but the adversary was only the number 5, it's not like he won with the Big3". "Oh he won against Djokovic, but it's a minor tournament, it's not like he can really win in a slam". "Oh he won two sets, but Djokovic was not playing good, so he was just letting him win/it was only luck." People cannot recognize that the Next Gen and especially the italian ones are very good players and they would have been great champions in any other context. The big3 are not the standard for tennis, they are the exception. And they too are beginning to let down matches here and there, but for some reason when one wins against them, or even when one makes their life difficult, it doesn't count because reasons.

Exactly, it's not just 'luck' as some are saying trying to take credit away from Novak's victory. Musetti played very well in the first 2 sets, all credit goes to him for that, but you also need a ton of mental strength to win against Novak at this level of tennis.

while I was watching the game live I kept saying "Musetti is at at 100 speed and Djokvic is at 80. the moment he slows down he will be surpassed by Djokovic".
Musetti has a very fun game to watch, but its also very demanding. he has large swings on both sides and has to be 100% fit to make the plays that he has in his game.
he pushed his body a bit too far to stay in the match and he had to pay for that. Djokovic has a much efforless game and his average speed cruise for the game lets him stay at the same level for hours. he waited the momentum to fade, and raised above the physical breakdown of the other. in the end it was a great show from both players. the best match of the tournament so far.
Incredible first two sets but in my opinion you don’t give up like that. If it’s 6:0 in the 5th, well then it’s 6:0, but that’s part of the game.
Novak or Rafa would have never given up like that…
Well, he claimed he was injured, but whether that's true or not, clearly, from that point on, he knew it was impossible, to come back, and he's getting his prize money anyway, so what has he got to lose, literally? Hitting a few extra balls, and basically knowing you're going to lose anyway, for the same prize money, nah, ain't worth it.
What about Djokovic-Wawrinka 2019 US Open?
This Next Gen never fails to disappoint.
Same happening with Sinner right now. Serves for the first set, then loses it 5-7.
No wonder those guys have been winning all the slams for the past 15 years 🙈
Musetti at least had a good reason for fading and he made his performance count in the 1st 2 sets, Sinner on the other hand has played incredible vs Nadal every time....right up until it really matters.

Keep your chin up, learn, absorb and then show to the world your numbers.
Experience wins, but Musetti, you're a future champion.👍
Nadal won his 1 GS at his age
There was so much more to show:
1) The power-cross-forehand where Nole looked at Lorenzo like: "Really man? How could you do that?".
2) That incredible rally where Lorenzo stepped on the Lacoste commercial and almost broke his ankle.
3) That moment when Lorenzo was playing so unbelievably well that Nole made a face like: "What can one do against these shots"?
4) At least 2 Wawrinka-like backhands from Lorenzo. You know what I mean.
This match has been a thing of beauty. Really. Lorenzo ran suddenly and completely out of physical energy, between the 2nd and the 3rd set. He never played a 5-set-match in his young life, before the match with Cecchinato (and this one). But the way he outplayed the historical number one, Novak Djokovic, aged 19, on the biggest stage, in both tie-breaks, has been unforgettable. These highlights show nothing, you got to see somehow the whole match. Trust me.
Novak King tenisa 👌💪👍🎾♥️
This has been a superb tournament for Musetti. He enters a grand slam for the first time, bagels his opponent in the first set of his first match, wins his first ever five set match, and wins the first two sets against Djokovic in their first meeting. He's well on his way to being a grand slam champion.

prosto je krenuo opusteno i kad je je izgubio drugi set, video je da vrag odnese salu i ubacio u vecu brzinu i oduvao ga sa terena👌🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Sledeci put kada mali bude igrao s njim izgubice pre pocetka meca 😁
Been watching this on and off on mute. Never got it - did Musetti get an injury? He just stopped playing all of a sudden at some point.
I think he ran out of energy from his last match which was also a incredible 5 setter so after the first two sets against Djokovic he probably couldn’t move
@@LeSunshine9 he should of finished the match. Unsportsman like not to finish. Looks like a grub for quiting
@@sesfabregas88 This makes no sense. He was in pain and could've worsen the injury and Nole didn't need to tire himself more than he did. It would've been a lose-lose situation.
@@Dawgtor he wasn't injured newer i watched the whole match there was no sign of it not even a tiny one u delusional Fedal fanboys
@@hamzabenjilany7548 he was injured in his ego
1:26 when Musetti thought the match was in the bag....2:25 Serbian machine activated
You didn't show the point where Djokovic slipped and fell flat on his stomach mid-rally, then pushed himself back up and hit a defensive shot on his knees, and then eventually won the point ?
Rolan Garros highlights are the worst, they are notorious for not showing the best shots.
First time in history a response for losing 2 tiebreakes to overcome by three bagels that's too strange
Not 2 bagels. 1 breadstick and 1 bagel. The 5th set is incomplete, so, you can't call it a bagel, IMO.
@@anocri I think djoko would have bageled musetti if they finished the match.

I am a proud italian tennis fan.
Based on the highlights I would have to conjecture that Djokovic didn't realize this player would be a threat. But to those who think the difference was psychological, I point out that you can *hear* the cracks from Djokovic's racket striking the ball in the last three sets--and that they are somewhat louder than they were in the first two sets. I think over the years Djokovic has made a science of delivering just enough effort to win. You can't stay at the top like he has by going all out every match. In this case, he realized he really had a to turn it on and when he did Musetti didn't know what hit him.
Great explanation. 100%
Very true. I agree most young players rely on fire power & play all out right from the get go and don’t conserve their energy like Nole does
Ah yes the master plan of losing the first two sets to save energy. Djokovic fans are hilarious.
@@eugenebarrettobviously he didnt lose on purpose genius, he didnt go all out
Djokovic really shouldn't have lost the first two sets. He wasn't nearly clinical enough when he was ahead and he paid the price against a surprisingly composed and super talented youngster. He found a way in the end though and that's what matters.
We must write down this name: Musetti. It could be the next big name in ATP
Nole ❤️ The Best 👊 👏👏👏👏👏
Crazy….two tie breakers followed by two Bagels & a Breadstick!
Broken wrist? Sprained ankle? No, the old "My back..." Funny he was running around fine until Novak made it 4-0. Like the baby couldn't have played out the last 2 games? No class, but hey... he's a punk teen.
@Internet Research Agency only mentally
Happened again in RG24
its 5 sets, not 3. you have to be really fit to play 5 sets. even a young player will lose his engergy after two hard sets. novak is used to pushing his body to the limit and knows how to conserve his energy when needed.
Here, two mental giants met.
Musetti has the highest percentage of tiebreaks won among all the players on tour (90.9%), so he's definitely mentally tough, but doesn't yet have enough experience at the highest level.
In time, I think we can expect great things from this young man.
