- Novak Djokovic defeated defending champion Rafael Nadal, 6-2, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1, in the final of the US Open 2011 to give the Serb his first title in New York, his third Grand Slam championship of the year and his fourth major overall.
Djokovic, who also won the Australian Open and Wimbledon that year, saved two match points in a five-set semifinal win over Roger Federer before defeating Nadal in the final. It was the first time the men's singles champion at the US Open won the title after being match point down since Andy Roddick’s five-set semifinal win over David Nalbandian preceded his triumph at Flushing Meadows in 2003.

This is prime level Djokovic. Some of the best tennis I’ve ever seen. Simply cannot make a mistake at times.
This was peak Djokovic
Prime and peak are synonyms as per dictionary definitions.
Prime: of the best quality.
Peak: the point when somebody/something is best.

@@jameswalker6864 We could argue that it's both. In tennis your prime is usually considered a period where you win a ton of titles and make deep runs in majors and masters, but your peak would be the highest point within that period. It's debatable if his peak is 2011 or 2015 though, but statistically 2015 is considered his peak and the best in the sport.
In Asia we usually use peak

2011. The year that began the Novak Djokovic decade! And he just keeps on rolling :)
Those who witnessed US Open '11 & AUS Open '12 have seen the pinnacle of Big 4 brutal hard court baseline based tennis. The very top of a style, breathtaking rallies, marathon matches. Thank god for these matches, thank god for this era.
Yes i watch both, it was really intense
You have to commend Novak. He took tennis to another level. He stayed in the sport pounding the pavement from the time he began 2003 until today. He changed his diet to improve his breathing. He took the losses from Roger and Nadal for the first 5 years, then he began his run in 2011 and never looked back. He brought a new meaning to champion. He didn’t give up or cave under the pressure. He came from humble background. He deserves to be champion. Go NOLE!
Yes he deserves it
One of my favourite matches ever. 2011 was the zenith of Novak's career, level wise. A juggernaut.
The greatest match that never gets talked about IMO, and Djokovic's performance here the best I have seen in a grand slam final

Here's to Novak Djokovic 🥂

this is why i love Djoker.............. he's the one player that could stand up to Rafa and slug with him.......nobody defends like Novak..... when he's on, he's unbeatable...
As many others have said it here, best rivalry in tennis history.
An interesting rewinding. From 2010 final to 2011 final, one year but things turned so differently. Rafa was still good through these years, but Novak became the monster. He improved his game insanely to be the best.
Agreed. I believe this was the year he completely reshaped his diet and overall routine, and you can see significant results in his endurance and conditioning - especially compared to 2010.
Remember, too, that Novak fought off two match points in a five setter against Roger in the 2010 semis, played the later night match. I think he was tired in the final against Rafa in 2010.
So true. I remember watching the 2010 us open final as if it where yesterday, and I believe anyone at that time would laugh at the idea of Novak going on to have a more successful career then Nadal and Federer.
2010 was like an alternate universe.
@@pertjacanape Horrible excuse. Djokovic was 23 years old and at the pinnacle of his physical abilites at the US Open 2010. By your logic, 32 years old Nadal was tired when he lost to Novak in the Wimbledon 2018 SF because he played a 5 hours 5 setter against Del Potro in the QF.

Roger in semis, Rafa in finals. GOAT conversation over, right there.
Yes! I never heard this talked about. Has anyone else ever beaten them back to back in a slam? Also, fed was only 30 years old, Rafa 25. Both at their best level. I mean, Nole won 3 at 36 last year. So, 30 sounds downright young now.

Fred Dal They met on outdoor hardcourts only in 2017 in the past 6 years, but they say since 2015 to advantage Federer.
Fred Dal So? The total still 24 -16 for Nadal and in Grand Slams finals 6 - 3 for Nadal. 😂
…and after 10 years, this year's season will be even greater!
Rafa would have beaten any player on that day with that level but not Djokovic. His level was something else in the first 3 sets. Rafa had to find his absolute best to take that set.
Out of all the titanic matches they had in the 2010 - 2013 stretch - that one for me takes the cake. Its not the longest one, its not the closest one, but the drama and the rallies man - outstanding
That 3rd set was the height of baseline play. Unreal!
Really? Okay
Never saw Rafa as disappointed as in this final, he was about to cry
2011 the year of Novak's utter dominance start. The story of how to change established things once and for all
2 things:
-2011 Djokovic was a higher level than even his 2015-2016 level imo
-this 3rd set is the best set ever in terms of quality in the nadal-djokovic rivalry
One of the greatest matches ever. I mean Rafa came with a vengeance in Us Open dismantling Roddick and Murray in his way to the final. He lost Wimbledon, No1 spot and 5 times to Novak that year and Rafa said to himself not this time but Novak played like an alien that year and saving those 2MP in the samis gave him an extra boost. No other human could beat Rafa that night exept Novak.
Sachin Johri this match is massively overrated. Federer would have beat this Nadal if not for the horrendous choke
actually he lost 6 times that year
Djoker tactic was great, he was playing with a lot of spin to make Rafa stay far away from the baseline and create space and then hit flat through the court or drop shots. Rafa played great but he needed to stay closer to the baseline like Federer or Djoker. He improved massively in 2012/2013

Campeón de campeones Novak Djokovic. Que se abran las puertas del Us Open 2022 para él, por el bien del tenis, por el bien del deporte.
1:28:16 for me this was game set match, Djokovic got inside Nadal's head, broke right back after a long grueling game of 15 minutes or so, Nadal started the 1st set the same, early break, only for clutchovic to break right back, the mental strength is strong.
How could this be game set and match when nadal won the next set? He clearly hadn’t broken nadal yet
@@jameskenny5913 Djokovic ended up winning the set which was a very important clutch moment in the game, it could have easily ended up 3 love or more with Nadal winning the set and who knows how it would have affected the rest of the game. They both threw everything in that game, Nadal his groundstrokes and Djokovic his defense and return attacking game which proved to be the difference. In Nadal's head it made him think about consolidating breaks and having to do that little bit extra to break through the Djokovic wall. The mental damage was done in that game that went for nearly 20 minutes !
Watched this was brilliant nadal threw everything he had at him and wasn’t enough Djokovic was just awesome 🎾
But in 2013 Djokovic threw everything but rafa won the final in US Open ..after that due to some improper meetings Djokovic wins their hc matches
Commentators should try to make the match more exciting for the viewers and not suck the life out of the match.
Valid point mostly for the older commentator. The younger one has good analysis he sees the game well for the most part.
Luke Jensen is such a shit commentator. he states the most obvious observations. he disparages and criticizes the players far too much. Blank has GOT to do this; so-and-so has GOT to do that. so annoying.
Yeah absolutely terrible. Makes watching the US Open a terrible experience. In fact, the more recent matches as just as bad in a different way. Recently there is an Australian calling the US Open who never says anything of any substance and constantly uses "australianisms" which really take away from the experience. Whatever happened to the days of great commentating ?
I wish ESPN would upload their coverage of the majors, love their commentary crew.
@@Gidoza Yup. Chris Fowler, P Mac, and Brad Gilbert are first rate. I love Johnny Mac as a player but he can be annoying as a commentator.

One of the best match between Nadal and Djokovic
With2011 year it will be also 2021 big fan of djokovic he will break all records
It is absolutely funny how pumped up and ready Rafael Nadal was at the end of the third set only to lose the fourth set 6-1.....
When the GOAT says....ummmm NOT
The Novak's returns around 1:20:00 (with 6:2, 0:2, 40:40) are out of this world.
I cheer for rafa, but it is so obvious novak is a classy guy and an incredible tennis player.
Best match ever. People overlook it cause it's only 4 sets but the level here is much better than any match I've ever seen!
Completely agree. The brutality of the hitting was immense. It was the culmination of a season in which Nadal was fighting for his life against the onslaught of Djokovic’s oncoming dominance. They were both so hungry for the win. It’s a match I come back to time and again, and often cite it as the classic in their rivalry.
A match of unbelievable level and the commentators sound like they watching a funeral. Who pays these sickos?!
What competition NOVAK DJOKOVIC must go through to become best tennis player of all time.... so many great name's federer nadal and Murray biggest nightmare for everyone and wawrinka David Ferer delpo
This is probably the fist time that iv ever seen Nadal struggle way more than his opponent in the wind. And hey Roger thats how you hit a forehand at “40-15” @2:07:54
Im living for the pettiness and the accuracy of this comment
Ironic because Federer has a far better forehand than Djokovic.
Thank you Us Open for uploading this match!
i never get tired of watching this
2011 was the year when tennis was played on the highest level ever!
I know they that 2015 Djokovič would destroy 2011 Djokovič, but the 2011 season was just something special. Totally different atmosphere, before that year, He never was No.1 in the world And then out of nowhere, 41 match winning streak, 3 out of 4 GS's and beating Nadal in 4 Masters 1000 Finals in a row And then in 2 other GS Finals, was just unique experience. Yes, 2015 season was amazing, maybe He was better player the whole season, but 2011 season was like fairytale. Simular to 2016 Leicester City season.
I wish there was an option to silence the commentators but still have the sound of the match. Worst commentators ever, such a shame for this great match.
The 3rd set is probably the best one i have ever seen. 1h 20 mins of pure animalistic rallies.
Absolutely. Level of intensity was absolutely insane throughout the whole set
2:55:20 - even Nadals dad can’t help but clap and acknowledge djokovics excellence after that point
What an intensity😳
Well, two days ago , they've played RG semi's and 3rd set was 92 mins.
Bro now its roland garros 3rd set 1hr 32 min
The context of this match was legendary, I can’t stop enjoying the end of 3rd set again and again and again. Djokovic would have definitely won a Roland Garros final against Nadal in 2011, Federer just saved him that year. I am happy I am witnessing this epic era of Tennis, it is something like 1970s of Heavyweight boxing, just titans clashing.
Yes I am lucky. If i pass on, having never Impacted anything during my time, I will leave with at least the satisfaction of watching the whole career of Michael Jordan, Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, Novak Djokovic, Raphael Nadal & Roger Federer.
That is what I try to to elate to all the hate, bias & venom, against each of these three from their fan base. Which I am also guilty of, is that none of these woulda been great w/o the other. Ali would not have been as great, if no Joe.
We are SO LUCKY, to have THE three GREATEST tennis players, playing at once. This is so rare. It's like three Gretzky's. Think about it, if Andy Murray had been in any other era he would've been the GOAT. OR ATLEAST, the best record, with prolly 30 slams! Imagine 1 of them w/o the other 2. What are we talking 40 slams? It's truly an unique situation.
indeed we witnessed 15 years of pure tennis with these 3 men... i also belive that 2011 nadal rg title was saved by Federer... Novak beat nadal on clay madrid and rome that year and it was going to do it at RG but there was Federer in the midle anyways it was a great year with great battles,
The best of the best
Bravo novak
Nadal fist pumping in just the second point of the match shows how big of a challenge and just how important this match was to him.
Third set of this one and 3rd set of their French Open semi from 2021 are two best tennis sets ever played
The djokovic forehand was really effective that day his groundstrokes landed so deep in the court he really pushed Nadal back.

@@atharvathatte9335 great minds think alike lol
Nadal gave up on match point. He could have gotten to that ball but I think he realized his chances of coming back were slim to none. He was playing his heart out in that 3rd set and it was barely enough to just win that set.
Novak Djokovic is amazing, The Best!!!!
This two commentators gushed everytime Nadal make a point , but once broken by Djokovik , cat got their tonque!
Yeah, the fun is over for them commentators, when their favorite player failed! True that!
They wouldn’t stop mentioning Djoker’s s “sloppy errors,” even when he was....6-2, 6-4 going into the 3rd set.

Nole, quisiera volverte a ver jugando de ésta manera o parecida en este 2022.

Thrilling match, one of their best in the rivalry.
First game of the 4th set felt like such a crucial point of the match, momentum wise.

Novak completely turned it on again after escaping that first game, and rolled in the 4th.
