For me, the greatest rivalry in tennis history possibly across all sports. These 2 are the closest you’ll ever get to witnessing real life gladiators from the movies battling like no tomorrow. Embrace it while you can, it’s not gonna last long
best rivalry was Federer vs Nadal -two men in their absolute primes battling it out on all surfaces. Novak didn't reach the top until Fed was in decline and Nadal was virtually 30 and past his physical prime
@@mikejo7885 Stop it. Federer vs Nadal is not even a rivalry, it’s a frequent encounter with a one-sided result. Nadal vs Djokovic on the other hand, is a rivalry. 29-30, still favorites to win slams, and only a 1 year difference between them. Federer is more of a nuisance than a rival.🤣
@@martinthiel6498 Nah I wouldn't say that. In terms of raw talent Nadal is the better player. Look how much better he was at a younger age and how comparable the 2 still are taking into consideration all the injuries Nadal has had throughout his career.
These two could play best of 1001 sets and it would be 501/500. The Aussie Final most be the best match ever played, you needed a day off work after watching it.
The new gen (even Alcaraz) don't even come close to that level. They were at superhuman levels of athleticism. Hitting a winner against either must've meant that you played a perfect point
Nadal's defensive capabilities when he was young like the Rome 2007 highlight for example is just unfair, and then to be able to hit a passing shot winner to cap it off 😬
Coming back to this video after the QFs between Novak and Djokovic, I realize how much I didn't believe Rafa could do it. It almost broke my heart to think that he might probably lose, but that opening set was a very nice indication that the match wouldn't go the way we thought it would've. Every time we think there's no way Rafa can win a particular match, he reaches a whole new level and proves us all wrong. I hope he doesn't retire anytime soon, and I hope he can find a small solution for the foot for the time being.
Indeed -- always inspiring to see these two men throw themselves into the game. I have a personal preference, but they both deserve respect ultimately. They're tennis icons and they'll continue to be long after I'm gone.
Its incredible how many of these best points are played at crucial junctures in the match - break points, set points , match points.... Both players producing the goods when it matters the most!
The greatest competitors any sport has ever seen..if not for the other,none would have been this great…over the years,some of us Rafa fans have really started to admire Novak more..used to be like this for Roger fans back when Rafa started winning more often against him…
at this point stats don't prove who exactly is the goat. They prove how good they were, not who is better imo. There are too many factors to take into consideration to really feasibly prove who is better even with stats.
This video really shows the evolution of Djokovic's forehand technique. In the early matches, he turned his wrist too much on take-back and his ball striking was not fluid. Fast forward a few years and both of those issues are solved.
I suppose.. Djokovic made 16 QFs at FO and yet Rafa may have 14 FOs soon. Novak has barely been a threat lol, that too only in his most down years like 2015
@@kaceyrodriguez3053 why do some Nadal fans always have to overcompensate XD. Are you all that insecure. Just enjoy tennis, and act like an adult who is equally graceful in success as in defeat.
@@kaceyrodriguez3053 idiotic rafa fans, in the other 3 slams what has rafa done. he hasn't beaten Novak in his favorite aus open, but Novak has beaten Rafa 2 times in RG, that's the tenacity of Novak. Novak can pretty much adapt to any surface, and has been the most consistent out of the big 3 in all slams. If I speak about Rafa getting losses before round of 16, rafa fans may cry. Shut up and see the stats, Novak is heads and shoulders above any player in Tennis history. Tell Rafa to first give some kind of competition to Novak outside of RG, he can't and he won't. He is in the twilight of his career and you're spoiling his name by shitting on Novak. Just appreciate the greatness of the big 3
Rafa looks like the best player in FO years ago. Even in 2020 finals, he didn't give Djokovic any chance to win, but this year it seems quite dull for the magician. But, he was not even given a chance in Australian Open final against Medvedev, but he did it. Hope so... he comes up with full fitness and can show what a player he is.
I dnt know what full fitness means...he is 36 years old still running n 5th set with full intensity .played a 4.5 hour match still listening to that polluted music of fitness fitness fitness which media and buttdal is propagating from 2005 till now.....

Greatest rivalry, between titans. 1 match margin, and they've played nearly 60 times, with Novak having edge in h2h. Yet...Rafa still leads h2h at grand slams best of 5, including their 9 GS Finals. Rafa also better h2h than the Djoker against Fed, Murray, Wawrinka, Thiem, Medvedev. But for both Rafa, Djoker are two of the mentally toughest athletes you'll see in any sport too...I dare you to find many, they never cave, have no pulse...
Djoko having a winning H2H against Rafa is even more impressive when you know that they have played almost 50% of their matchs on clay... A surface that is clearly advantaging Nadal. On the other hand Rafa' struggles to beat Djoko on hard court, a neutral surface.
@@SK-nt4oy Even if you exclude FO and AO, they're tied H2H at slams. They've played 9 GS Finals, majority hardcourt, but Rafa leads H2H in GS Finals. If you want to talk distribution of matches, how about # of surfaces or masters. Imagine 2 clay slams rather than HC
Djokovic is the player with the most career wins against Nadal. Nadal is also the player with the most career wins against Djokovic. Djokovic is the only player to have defeated Nadal in four clay-court finals, the only player to defeat Nadal at the French Open in straight sets, the only player to defeat Nadal twice at the French Open, and the only player to defeat Nadal in seven consecutive finals. Both play a similar style of tennis but have differences that make their matches competitive and unique. Djokovic is the only player to defeat Nadal in three consecutive grand slam finals and the only player to defeat Nadal in all four grand slams (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open). Conversely, Nadal is the only player to defeat Djokovic in two hard court slam finals (US Open 2010 and 2013). Nadal leads (19-8) on clay and Djokovic (20-7) on hardcourts and 2-2 on grass. May the best man win tomorrow !
I mean Nadal wasn't at all the Nadal when he was guaranteed to win Roland Garros when he lost to Djokovic last year. In 2016 he was also not that Nadal. Not a Nadal fan but we have to look at things the way they are.
So much context is left out of those records you're listing. For example, Rafa lost in straight sets at FO in 2015, Rafa's worst slump, didn't win a clay tournament like this year.. in H2H, let's not leave out that Rafa has winning H2H at grand slams best of 5, including GS Finals. He also has better H2H than Djoker against Federer, Murray, Wawrinka,, Thiem, Medvedev, all. There's lot of context, including injury history..

I disagree. I believe Federer has the game that is the most different from the big 3. Nadal and Djokovic are more counter pushers (at this level of course they can attack great as well) whereas Federer is more aggressive
Federer and Nadal are the perfect opposites. Djokovic and Nadal are different, but their games still rely on consistent baseline strokes, defending and counterpunching.
Crazy that in 2011, the year Novak exploded after a horrible 2010, he went to beat Nadal in the final of both legs of the Sunshine double, then in both the Madrid and Rome finals 9first two matches he won against Rafa on clay), then beat Rafa in the Wimbledon and USO finals.
I value peak level of play, which is Rafa on clay. Just imagine if there were 2 clay slams.. I will give Novak this year is looking better as Rafa isn't physically best, also injuries last year too. But he won most titles at single slam with 13 FOs, highest winning% on a surface, longest winning streak on surface...Rafa on clay is highest peak, but depends on your criteria for GOAT. It's subjective
@@yannickcolot2319 It doesn’t even make any sense. Rafa is best player in history on clay, Novak on hard courts. 19-8 clay wins for Rafa, 20-7 on hard courts for Novak. 2-2 on grass. They very, very close. The GOAT debate is indeed subjective. as Rafa fan, for me the all big 3 are the GOATS.
Clay is boring, thank God that there is only one slam on clay. The only problem with today's tennis is that there is not a single master 1000 tournament on grass. The rest is fine
I juz cant imagine how many more grandslam nadal would have won if not for his injuries and leg issues. The way he was running back then...my god, the look on djokovics face many a times says it all.
Best points INDEED. Hardly any I wasn't in awe of. The 2009 Monte Carlo Rafa. How? I'm in tears. Novak did it back in Miami in 2011. Unreal stuff. Roger, look at the beasts you created...
@@lukeinvictus i meant not by fandom,he has millions of fans who are never gonna forget obviously,i was talking about the tennis ability, people would understand he was actually not as good as other two.
This one's going to be a blockbuster. Rafa will seek revenge for last year's defeat and Novak will be the favourite to lift the trophy if he triumphs in this QF
Given Rafa's health/form, we've come to the point where Novak is actually the favorite over Rafa at FO, despite him winning 13 times. Convenient timing lol. If Djoker wins FO, he will have won 3 FO Finals and never faced peak Rafa in any of the 3
Two of these are heavyweights 🥊 Both Nadal & Djokovic had some very good performance for playing tennis and can't wait about QF this one at Roland Garros 🙌
From 2011 to 2017 until Madrid, Rafa has just won three ATP matches against Djokovic(2012 MC, Rome and 2013 Montreal). You can never see such kind of Dominance against the other great. The last win of Rafa on hard is in the US open 2013. It is going to be 9 years this year.
@@dumitriuradu8481 Will have to wait for 23 until next year french open. Djokovic is just screwing himself with this vaccination thing or else he would reach 23 before Nadal. At the end, its his decision.
Nadal Never Once Clapped for a Good point for Novak Federer Never did it Once... Novak is a Better Human and a Competitor... Novak is by Far is the Nicest between them
Here's a crazy stat: Ever since the 2013 US Open, Rafael Nadal has neither won a match against Novak on hards courts nor won a set against Novak on hard courts.
Unpopular opinion: The graphics (the scoreboard) from 2009-2017 were the best looking ones. Gold for Masters 1000 Silver and grey for ATP 500 & 250 Note the blue and green ones that we have right now.
Given Rafa's health/form, we've come to the point where Novak is actually the favorite over Rafa at FO. Novak's first win against Rafa at FO was in 2015, one of Rafa's worst slumps where he didn't win a clay tourney just like this year.. but Novak did beat Murray, Tsitsipas in FO Finals.. maybe this year Medvedev or Ruud
Djokovic kept improving every year. He has mamba mentality. Perfectionist who always tries to get better. His game is more complete now than in 2011 or 2015. People don’t realize how good Djokovic game is. He lost only 3 from last 92 gs matches. He lost only 1 from his last 32 gs matches. Nadal doesn’t look injured at all. He was running really well in his all 4 FO matches. It will be another great battle tomorrow
@@juancarlosjuancarlos4629 Djokovic today would get smoked by the 2011 Djokovic. He is nowhere his prime anymore it's just the crap next gens are making him and Nadal look better that they actually are. But yeah Djokovic is playing at a higher level than Nadal right now. Nadal lost his speed and is just crippled which is normal for a 35 year old. The fact that he won the Australian open this year just proves how weak this generation is
@@juancarlosjuancarlos4629 Rafa is injured, you don't want him to be lol, conveniently only times Novak has chance. If Novak wins, he will won 3 FO Finals without facing Rafa in the Final
The 2 most successful GS Champions in tennis history but watching this video it's amazing to me that Nadal has been able to Win GS in 2022 considering he's definitely lost a step of speed over the years which has to be down to the injuries and to be fair Novak has got better at getting the ball back from impossible positions of the court.Neither will win more tournaments than Federer and Conners but IMHO they are the greatest players ever with Federer at his best very very close and Sampras next considering he won 14 Slams in 14 seasons after retiring after winning the US open at 32 years old.
a suggestion @Tennis TV please, I hope the rest of Grand Slams share they clips with you so you can do the best possible videos. Grand Slams have your "ATP Ranking" so why not? 😢

And today we are reading chapter 59 of this never ending, forever young rivalry. Probably the best in tennis ever. Can´t wait for the match.
Nadal's greatness brought him to his knees 5:29
I juz cant imagine how many more grandslam nadal would have won if not for his injuries and leg issues. The way he was running back then...my god, the look on djokovics face many a times says it all.
Best points INDEED. Hardly any I wasn't in awe of.
The 2009 Monte Carlo Rafa. How? I'm in tears.
Novak did it back in Miami in 2011. Unreal stuff.
Roger, look at the beasts you created...
Agreed, the greatest sportsmen of 21st century
Two 🐐🐐
I thini it would ve a good idea to make a video of every match point they have had
Ces deux-là ont porté le tennis à un niveau jamais atteint auparavant.
C'est réellement impressionnant.
Just hope there is plenty of this, tonight !!!
INSANE QUALITY!!!
Best highlight reel i've ever seen
😢 Che bei tempi. Unici al mondo
Thanks a lot Nole & Rafa
Aside from who your favourite is lets just hope for another classic tomorrow.
Hey where are the RG 2020 final and 2021 semi-final??!
Big 3 miles ahead of any other player current or all time, doesn’t matter what order you put them in either
I have a feeling that by the time rafa and nole will retire, people are gonna remember big 2 only,fed would be left behind by enough margin
@@eiyp3 thats so stupid mate yes hes 3rd best but forgotten you have to be kidding me
@@lukeinvictus i meant not by fandom,he has millions of fans who are never gonna forget obviously,i was talking about the tennis ability, people would understand he was actually not as good as other two.
Young Rafael Nadal was a Beast🔥🔥
Every time I watch these two play each other, I lose 20 lbs.
This shows evolution in rivarly - Rafa winning all crazy points initially to then Novak winning more of them
Thank you for fantastic!!!! Compilation of the TWO!!! Nadal for tomorrow🙏❣🙏
This one's going to be a blockbuster. Rafa will seek revenge for last year's defeat and Novak will be the favourite to lift the trophy if he triumphs in this QF
Given Rafa's health/form, we've come to the point where Novak is actually the favorite over Rafa at FO, despite him winning 13 times. Convenient timing lol. If Djoker wins FO, he will have won 3 FO Finals and never faced peak Rafa in any of the 3
Ese partidazo en Roma fué Genio vs Genio
Two of these are heavyweights 🥊
Both Nadal & Djokovic had some very good performance for playing tennis and can't wait about QF this one at Roland Garros 🙌
Vai pegar fogo 🔥
Thank you Novak and Rafa ❤️
From 2011 to 2017 until Madrid, Rafa has just won three ATP matches against Djokovic(2012 MC, Rome and 2013 Montreal). You can never see such kind of Dominance against the other great. The last win of Rafa on hard is in the US open 2013. It is going to be 9 years this year.
22 says hi 👋
@@dumitriuradu8481 Will have to wait for 23 until next year french open. Djokovic is just screwing himself with this vaccination thing or else he would reach 23 before Nadal. At the end, its his decision.
Greats
Need to update this with every match ever
Just how many finals these 2 monsters has been facing each other not even counting all the final appearance they hage been in.
Greatest Rivalry ever in all individual sports.
Nadal Never Once Clapped for a Good point for Novak
Federer Never did it Once...
Novak is a Better Human and a Competitor...
Novak is by Far is the Nicest between them
😭😭😭😭 I watched their 2007 Indian wells match live on TV. Time just flies.
For me it's 9:29 the best shot of Nadal
Alternate title: An evolution of camera quality on the ATP Tour
Here's a crazy stat:
Ever since the 2013 US Open, Rafael Nadal has neither won a match against Novak on hards courts nor won a set against Novak on hard courts.
Unpopular opinion: The graphics (the scoreboard) from 2009-2017 were the best looking ones.
Gold for Masters 1000
Silver and grey for ATP 500 & 250
Note the blue and green ones that we have right now.
That Rome 2018 point by Novak
Given Rafa's health/form, we've come to the point where Novak is actually the favorite over Rafa at FO. Novak's first win against Rafa at FO was in 2015, one of Rafa's worst slumps where he didn't win a clay tourney just like this year.. but Novak did beat Murray, Tsitsipas in FO Finals.. maybe this year Medvedev or Ruud
Djokovic kept improving every year. He has mamba mentality. Perfectionist who always tries to get better. His game is more complete now than in 2011 or 2015. People don’t realize how good Djokovic game is. He lost only 3 from last 92 gs matches. He lost only 1 from his last 32 gs matches. Nadal doesn’t look injured at all. He was running really well in his all 4 FO matches. It will be another great battle tomorrow
Sadly medvedev is being swept off the court by cilic rn
@@juancarlosjuancarlos4629 Djokovic today would get smoked by the 2011 Djokovic. He is nowhere his prime anymore it's just the crap next gens are making him and Nadal look better that they actually are. But yeah Djokovic is playing at a higher level than Nadal right now. Nadal lost his speed and is just crippled which is normal for a 35 year old. The fact that he won the Australian open this year just proves how weak this generation is
@@juancarlosjuancarlos4629 Rafa is injured, you don't want him to be lol, conveniently only times Novak has chance. If Novak wins, he will won 3 FO Finals without facing Rafa in the Final
@@bowiththeflow7123 Hardly disagree about your next gen comment my friend
Nadal on clay is truly unbelievable 😅 simply breathtaking 😄
The 2 most successful GS Champions in tennis history but watching this video it's amazing to me that Nadal has been able to Win GS in 2022 considering he's definitely lost a step of speed over the years which has to be down to the injuries and to be fair Novak has got better at getting the ball back from impossible positions of the court.Neither will win more tournaments than Federer and Conners but IMHO they are the greatest players ever with Federer at his best very very close and Sampras next considering he won 14 Slams in 14 seasons after retiring after winning the US open at 32 years old.
I understand why grand slams aren’t in here but I still wish they were
What happened to the 2010 us open final?
Rome seems to have produced good points - '16 and '18 in particular
where are the grandslam meetings?
Nadal y Djokovic son imparables y muy difíciles de derrotar
Sorry but look how good was nadal.... He was so fast and agile... Father time it's so shit ngl
So exited for tomorrow !!! Vamos Nadal !
Najvece rivalstvo dvojice teniskih gladijatora😎
a suggestion @Tennis TV please, I hope the rest of Grand Slams share they clips with you so you can do the best possible videos. Grand Slams have your "ATP Ranking" so why not? 😢
The second point I just kept going "will this be a Djokosmash? No? This one. No? This one."
No Grand Slam points... such a shame :(
Marin Cilic is the greatest tennis player of all time. Some players who are inferior to him are listed below;
1. Novak Djokovic
2. Roger Federer
3. Rafael Nadal
4. Serena Williams
5. Rod Laver
6. Pete Sampras

Both were owned by Novak, the shepherd of this GOAT farm
Novak .... n°1....372 week...Masters 1000 ...38,head to head Nole 30 Rafa 28,Nole 27 Roger 23,GS Rafa 21,Nole 20,Roger 20,IDEMO KRALJU,NOLE KING
Nole: Most GS, Most weeks at #1, Most ATP titles tied, Most year end #1, Best head to head record vs both. Oops.
So where are the GS matches?
Ganador de Grand Slam a la fecha:
1 Rafael Nadal 21
2 Roger Federer 20
3 Novak Djokovic 20
4 Pete Sampras 14
*NOTA 1: ¿Cuánto tiempo lleva Nadal en el Top 10?
En tres días, todo lo ha conseguido con 36 años, sin embargo, más relevante es "considerar el retiro en el segundo semestre de 2021 por una lesión en el pie"; detalle a no olvidar ya que de no haber padecido de tamaña lesión que venía arrastrando antes de la fecha mencionada, obviamente serían más galardones de los logrados.
*P.D.; Caso curioso: Rafa hizo historia entrando a la ATP con tan solo 15 años y a los 16, se convirtió en el tenista más joven en ganar un partido dentro del circuito. Con 17, jugó la Copa Davis, con 18 ganó sus primeros torneos importantes y con 19, el Roland Garros, convirtiéndose en el número 2 del ranking mundial. /*INIGUALABLE!!!
Australia Roland Garros Wimbledon EE. UU.

Look how many times they played in 2015/16 compared to playing once in 2017 and only 1 atp match in 2010..
Djokovic owns dull
The video should be retitled as greatest defender vs greatest returner of all time
Best rivalry in tennis history
Messi vs ronaldo
Nadal vs djokovic
Best rivalrys ever !!
The warrior vs the machine
Why couldn't you include grand slam matches?
