Raphael Basile very true. I think US Open is the best level of play I’ve seen from Nadal. Flat fast serve, monstrous backhand and he would hit the forehand down the lone from any angle
Lo que se ha visto que Nadal siendo menos espectacular le quito protagonismo a Federer porque desde que entro al circuito Profesional comenzo ganandole y hoy por hoy es mejor
@@amarilisng3053 solo en arcilla. Desde el 2017 federer ha sabido ganarle con el mejorado revés en todas las canchas de cemento y césped y con 37 38 años... Dudo que nadal sea mejor de manera concreta como dices
@@SSer_G. reconosco todo lo estraordinario que es federer y comparandolo con Nadal estéticamente y tenisticamente podemos decir que es mejor, por eso vuelvo y digo que siendo nadal un poquito menos lo a superado en enfrentamientos, le ha ganado torneo importante en las superficie de Federer, tiene el golden grand Slam y mentalmente lo acabó solo apartir del 2017 a cambiado la cosa en la superficie de Federer porque en arcilla ganó Nadal y esta solo a uno de igualarlo en GS..

@@amarilisng3053 si, es cierto que mentalmente nadal es inigualable y tiene récords que federer no alcanzará, como roland garros.. Pero en mi caso prefiero lo tenistico antes que lo físico..
Adithya Naren I agree. Nadal's speed is useless when Fed hits flat bombs at the top of his shoelaces instead of slicing or spinning the bh. Djokovic has been implementing the same game plan for years on hardcourt and it's been paying off. Today was another proof of that!
@@SHVideografieLOL you mean the same strategy Djokovic applies when beating Fed? Djokes. Rafa's capable of baseline half-volleying them like the best of them ala 2013 or 2018 when in an offensive mindset so sure, through cognitive dissonance, say what you want. Yesterday, he was substandard, mental demons at full effect. Fed knows what that feels like, he was on the receiving end, enduring such rape for a decade and a bit before destroying the stronghold Nadal had built in his cranial. This was all after his therapeutic break before entering '17.
@@Sanjinator1 Fed just didn't implement the right strategy for a very long time. Had he started to take the bh more early and flat like in 2017 he would have had more wins over Nadal.
@@SHVideografie Nah. Rafa slowed down. You really think Fed is that dumb? 'Oh, all I need to do is flatten the trajectory on both sides to get more wins'. That shouldn't take 10 years to figure out and it didn't, there's only been one major change from the other end in these years and it's basic logic 101. Fed's struck his FH side early and relatively flat all his career and it could never dent Rafa until he slowed down. The end. Logic - Rafa slowed down, natural process. No excuses needed. Ask yourself, if his BH/FH of 17/18/19 combination is so lethal, why has it not worked on Novak. Same problem, Djoker hasn't slowed down. Defense is as good as ever. Proved it against Rafa's new aggression. If you ain't got defense, you ain't got offense. Simple and ample.

Nadal's level of play is usually determined by how his foot deformity is handling the type of surface (hard surface is harder on his foot deformity) and how the same foot is handling the rigours of training and competition ... if his foot is feeling well, he will usually win comfortably ...
Federer in many aspects of his game (barring his speed and movement and his ability to really quickly get into position), is in fact playing better now than before. Look at how that backhand used to be -- it's a wrecking ball now. The serve is deadlier. The serve and volley better. And as far as my eye sees, he's hitting a much heavier cannon ball like shot now. The Forehand however isn't something that he lets rip at the first opportunity anymore, although he can still hit those shots -- I suspect it's because he can't get into position as fast as before. Meanwhile, Nadal was too fast and a ball retrieving beast back in the day...however the power advantage he had over Federer is gone now.
srinitaaigaura I think the key difference in the match up between these two now is Roger stepping into his backhand more, which he never did before. His game has always matched up very poorly against Rafa’s.
Tbh even in this match, and many earlier matches, when Federer drives through the serve return on his BH, he starts dominating the point. The difference is he was lower on confidence with the smaller racquet and didn't do it often enough.
Basel, Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Shanghai...the last three Nadal didn’t manage a single set. Indian Wells 2019 he chickened out to avoid another whipping.
@@aleksamilosevic8792 Nadal played without a hip? That is amazing!!! He ran on only one leg? Used a wheelchair? Levitated? Amazing the extent Nadal fans are willing to go with the "injuries" lame excuses. Did he have the same issue at Wimbledon? Federer "choked" again beating "one hip" without much trouble even though he have the second set for free.
@@juanantoniozuleta6575 He had an injured hip in shanghai. Littteraly you can check it for yourself. IW 2019 Fed was going to get trashed if he played like he did vs thiem despite the rest advantage.
@@aleksamilosevic8792 we know that Nadal is “injured” every time he loses. The only claim found on the web is a disputed “knee injury”, not a hip problem, but then again…we also know about how injuries and illnesses multiply with time when Nadal loses a match.
Good effort by Federer against GOATdal.
DOPal
I am really going to miss the rivalry between these two. They both inspired me to pick up a racquet.
they got their AO 2011 outfits and on and everything
the players usually reuse the kits for a few tournaments before changing
@@rondelego2 Not in Grand Slams, they usually wear new outfits
Nadal was slapping the fuck out of the ball, ripping it to shreds!
Never seen him play so freely against Fed before or since.
When Federer played freely he could blast winners from everywhere
there was no doubt in Rafa´s shots back then..
Is this an exhibition? Never seen Federer play with his watch on unless it’s an exhibition
Interesting. Nadal appears to still be using that U.S. Open serve in this match.
Raphael Basile very true. I think US Open is the best level of play I’ve seen from Nadal. Flat fast serve, monstrous backhand and he would hit the forehand down the lone from any angle
He switched it right after this because his shoulder started bugging him.

Así es, NADAL es Superior y es El Goat 🐐 eh?
Imagine if he had the bigger racket as in 2017 all those defensive slices would be backhand missiles
LOL Nadal's speed would have negated those backhand missiles. He simply did not fail to retrieve anything back in his prime years.

The Saudis don't understand the Flintstones....but the Abu Dhabi Do! (apologies from my Scottish friend)
Awesome quality!
The court colour, video quality of this match makes it look like playing a video game
Before they realised Novak was coming
Was this when Rafa was ill with some sort of fever that he talked about at the Aussie Open 2011? He was really sweating
Yes
Huh federer was wearing a watch 4:11-4:12. That’s a first for me
It doesn't just tell time, it tells history
Perfect example why in 2018 these two are number 1 and 2 😂
Not now
are they playing sweet child at the end there? :D

this is 2011
its on the last day of 2010, heading into Australian open 2011. its correct
This is a fast court and Nadal is outplaying Federer.
King is Federer Real champion
King in really Novak.
Anybody know who the commentator is ?
David Mercer.
Nadals game dipped a lil after winning 2010 us open till he rebounded in 2013 hard court season.
Nadal's level of play is usually determined by how his foot deformity is handling the type of surface (hard surface is harder on his foot deformity) and how the same foot is handling the rigours of training and competition ... if his foot is feeling well, he will usually win comfortably ...
They’re not putting in any efforts whatsoever.
time has changed now its murray djokovici the real kings and their matches are much more powerful than of this old guys.
agradina stupid comment
you are really stupid!!!
most retarded comment in 2017.. look stupid now when roger and rafa won all slams in 2017.. Murray will never be even close to this legends..
this is what drugs will do to your judment, kids. Stay away from drugs.
murray-djokovic are boring matches
Last ball was in though. Fed just knew that he was gonna lose anyway so he didn't challenge.
At the end, the commentator says Hawkeye says it was 4 mm out.
