@@benedictly1571 everybody expect novak to win AO with all the normal schedule. this french open held in a totally different time because of the pandemic and weather and condition as usual, with the roof and the ball and the constant rain.
Crazy how a surface can make so much of a difference, I mean Aus open just the year before Djokovic beat Nadal so hard he made him look like a beginner then fast forward a year and Nadal sends Djokovic back to his junior days, simply marvellous
@Barış Alkan true but the high bounce is even more of a factor than the court speed. Nadals forehand simply does too much damage even with margin for anybody to deal with over 5 sets.
Thing is here these conditions was the best possible for Novak with the closed roof and cold temperature, more control + lower bounce. So even though it is clay this match should have been closer maybe even a different winner perhaps if Novak played his best.
You can close the roof Change the balls Change the month Change the weather Change the temperature Change the audience attendance You can’t change the Roland Garros champion #RafaelNadal
@Chuck Thunder Its not about the surface in Paris. Its because its a more important tournament and you have to beat this absoulute legend in 5 sets since its a slam.
Rafael Nadal - is the personification, embodiment and evolution of a “Champions Attitude” - never an excuse - always humble - always unconditionally committed to getting better - he is strong and brave in the face of adversity and humble and gracious in the glow of victory. A wonderful human - playing a wonderful game with the totality of being a Champion!
@@Polarcupcheck Federer had a lot shittalk to say about Đoković too, back in the day... But Đoković obliterated him the last decade, especially in the big games. Everybody talks about Roger being such a nice guy, gentleman... I don't buy it! :)
@Jensen HARGREAVES Federer has the best public image for charity and stuff because he also commercialises himself for doing so (nothing wrong) Rafa and Novak do that too, but Rafa is the biggest gentleman in tennis history, never said anything bad about anyone, never threw a tantrum or anything like it. The GOAT tittle is debatable but the biggest role model and gentleman in this sport is Rafa by far and to me that's why he is the GOAT because there is more to it then on court results (which he also has)
As a Novak fan, I knew he was in trouble when Rafa hit that crosscourt backhand winner in the first game 40-30. Rafa only hits that shot when he's fully confident in his strokes.

It's crazy to think that Iga, the women's champion, was 4 years old when Rafa won his first trophy. Now, 15 years later, he is still the champion. What a legend. 🏆♥️
@@supercritic100 It's just plain wrong. But in this day and age when everyone is screaming sexism left and right, the organizers just have to bend. I'd say about 2/3 of the mens prize money should be more than enough, all things considered.

I think Djoko played waaaaaay better back in 2012 2013 or 2014 honestly. He committed 52 unforced errors and had only 40% 1st serves in ... But it's part of the game, I think all players already lose in their mind before playing against Rafa at the French
@@thexcookieman1842 On the contrary, I think Nadal changed tactics and caught Djokovic by surprise so he was forced to go for more shots than normal, hence the huge number of unforced errors
@@thexcookieman1842 Nah man, it was just that Rafa was returning his first serves like Novak was doing to everybody, he got in his head from the get go, Novak didn't play badly at all. He had more winners, especially in the 3rd set I think he played his best tennis. But Rafa's attitude throughout the match was like you can't beat me and you know it. Novak deserves all the respect but it's clear now that that 2015 win was a fluke. By fluke I mean he was "lucky" that he was the top player to play and beat Rafa. Stan, Andy Roger maybe Ferrer would've beaten him that year
@@ismetcehic5581 I think everybody knows the 2015-2016 meetings were so onesided because Rafa was nowhere near the level he is now and the level he needs to have in order to beat Djokovic. This can also be the reason why Djokovic leads the h2h right now and why he has also beaten him more easily than usual on hard courts lately 🤫
@@noahhenderson3164 Actually I took the joke from a Meme I got from my friends which is circulating in Spain but unfortunately I couldn’t attach photos. If you see Nadal’s aged face you’d understand. Maybe I should’ve written 2060 50th RG Title ;)
Rafa was ruthless in this match. He came out really focused and I think he crushed Nole’s spirit. Even in the third when it looked like Djokovic might make a push, Rafa shut it down. As a Rafa fan I’m not only happy that he won but that he did it in dominating fashion.
It was important that Rafa shut Novak down, because Novak is one player capable of turning round his game and bouncing back if he gets any whimp of a chance. Nadal has learnt his lessons
2010: Don't worry guys, we will win grand slams when Djokovic, Nadal and Federer retire. 2020: Don't worry guys, we will win grand slams when Djokovic, Nadal and Federer retire.
i loved how Rafa said in the first interview on court "Novak killed me in Australia, now it was my turn" and even Novak had to laugh after loosing this match! amazing players!
Katherine Sparkes to have 20 GS when you are excellent on clay or grass is twice more difficult than to win on hard court. Not only that. To play on clay is the most difficult of the three as it requires much more technique, mental strength and strategy as you cannot rely so much on your service. That is why he is the best even if Federer has a more refined technique. That and because his injury struggles and his come backs and his humility and his attitude on and off court. Federer was playing tennis 5 years without facing an strong opponent. In fact, Rafa lost 2 Wimbledon Finals before he defeated him in 2008. Federer won one RG because Nadal was out with injury. It is like Thiem’s US open victory without the Top 3.
"I have always had the utmost respect for my friend Rafa as a person and as champion. As my greatest rival over many years, I believe we have pushed each other to become better players. Therefore, it is a true honor for me to congratulate him on his 20th Grand Slam victory. It is especially amazing that he has now won Roland Garros an amazing 13 times, which is one of the greatest achievement in sport. I also congratulate his team, because nobody can do this alone. I hope 20 is just another step on the continuing journey for both of us. Well done, Rafa. You deserve it." - Roger Federer
@@lavarball4635 the guy played 12 finals at Wimbledon, won 8 times (record for now) and lost 4 in very tight matches that could go either way. Djokovic barely won against him in 2014 and 2015 when he was at the peak of his powers and Roger was constantly dealing with back injuries that prevented him from being consistent and last year a 38 years old Federer who beat Nadal in 5 sets in the semis took Nole to the fifht too with match points in favour and was naturally lacking stamina and energy in the end to finish it off. And you're telling me "he's neglected". You might reconsider your statement.
@@juanmartin8753 Shut up. Djokovic has better mental strength than the grunter. Talk about records...Djokovic doesn't just eclipse all of Nadal's achievements (of course except clay which Nadal relies on) but also outperforms in terms of all surfaces. Throughout his career he has faced opposition from fanboys like you. More slams, weeks at #1 (doubled it in fact), he has 40 masters titles, has more year end titles and wins over Federer and Nadal. Now, you can go ahead and say that I am just spewing stats at you, so before you began your roid rage, I'll cram some facts up your ass. Djokovic has supported improved education in Serbia by direct donations and has a foundation with his wife to continue this. He also guided young players to play in the ATP Next Gen organization. Did you even muster up the energy to watch some of the interviews, events, etc. with the other ATP players? Novak has utmost respect to his opponents, and in general, he is an extremely charismatic and energetic person. So, outside of tennis and on the court, I don't see how he's simply racquet smasher that you describe him as.
Gonzalo S. Vasq In Barcelona, there is already a court called Rafa Nadal. I think the courts are named based on the tennis player from that country. For instance, AO has Rod Laver, or USO has Arthur Ashe. So I don’t think it’s easy to do that.
I am a Federer fan. I swear, I am almost happy as if Roger won another Slam. Because this man right here is the best rival a supporter could ever ask for. Classy, graceful, humble, as immense as a person as he is as a player. He truly deserves this achievement, and I hope he gets even more. Along with Roger, maybe, but for the moment.... All hail the king of clay, all hail Rafa Nadal
I became a Nadal fan after Agassi retired. He was the one player that kept the sport interesting for me. Such a hard worker on the court with incredible ground strokes.
Actually watching this....i think after his victory in Roma 2021.... that Rafa is still at the level to get a few more Roland Garros and other grand slams as well..... this boy is absolutely awesome.....
Djokovic is the second most dominant player at Rolland Garros and even he is no competition for Nadal. The degree of domination on a court type is unmatched in history.
MUFC what is this guys problem I’ve seen this shit on AFL videos too. Soccer isn’t bigger than tennis in Australia bud. Soccer is easy to set up and play which makes it accessible in most developing nations. That’s the main reason it is so popular worldwide. Your stats are still wrong though.
This was the most tactical beat down I’ve ever seen on a court besides the beating Rafa gave Roger in RG 08. Nadal used every single conceivable shot, lob, drop shot, angle, topspin, high looping forehand return, straight backhand, straight forehand, change of pace slice followed by a fearhand return... my goodness... God Mode activated. Joker 🃏 played well actually he was just shocked as there was no game plan for this type of play on clay. Federer did this on grass in Wimbledon 19 but he choked away the match. Rafa said “not today”try next year. Phenomenal performance.
Indeed it was! I never expected that it will be a demolishing job. T’was fantastic. It’s as if he was waiting for this opportunity to get his revenge from the AO finals humiliation he got from Nole. Now, they’re even.
It was the most elegant, professional and focused grand slam final from Rafa I have ever seen. We are fortunate to still be in the era of the greatest champion tennis has ever seen. He was an unstoppable ruthless force on the court and the sweetest most humble winner. Despite this year's hardship watching Rafa claim his 13th Roland Garros has brought a small piece of normality to this year and hope for the next. Vamos Rafa, you truly are the one and only GOAT.
Unbelievable, I thought it should be a 5-set match. There will be nobody like Rafa again, never ever again. I'm just so lucky to be able to witness his career.
Almargo said it best "Rafa will win Roland Garros 40 years in a row... he'll be 65 and still be winning at Roland Garros". That was back in 2008. As a Rafa fan, I am so proud of his achievements. Everything was against him winning this year's tournament - he hadn't won a warm-up tournament leading into Roland Garros for the first time in his career, the cold, wet weather and heavy ball would neutralise his natural advantages, and the seemingly invincible Novak Djokovic who owns a winning record (29-26) over him would be too much for him to overcome. I just love how Rafa rises to the challenge and overcomes adversity each and every time. Yes, there's been some heartbreaking losses over the years but I am never disappointed in being his fan. When he loses, he accepts it and moves on and comes back even stronger.
I totally agree with you. Beautiful words. What a wonderful time for tennis. We’ll miss this guys in the future. I feel lucky to be able to enjoy this as it happens and not in history books. Greetings from Spain.
He is the best example for the kids and adults alike, in my opinion. Such a great human being in general, same goes for the members of the big three. We are blessed with their greatness and kindness. As other folk said already, as far as Nadal wins Rolland Garros, it is good to be here on earth.
Honestly, if you watched the whole match there was nothing Djokovic could do or did'nt do to win. He threw the kitchen sink at Nadal and the ball still came back with interest or a clean winner. Like AO'19 final where Djokovic was unplayable, today Nadal was simply unplayable. Rafa reserved his best for the finals.
Nadal was not unbeateble today, Djokovic did not have the commitment to spent 5 hours hitting the ball plus 90 mph to overplay Nadal, and thats why Nadal is one of the GOAT a machine that will destroy you if you dont put the best you have in each match....
@ TheRUclipsr and Ja Y : Oh please, for godsakes, stop with the BS. This was probably the most important match in Djokovic's career and he had everything to play for. Just give credit to Rafa. He neutralized Nole from the get go, with some extremely smart and strategic tennis. So, did Rafa play badly in the AO'19 final, no! Djokovic was unplayable that day, like Nadal was today. PS: When someone loses a grand slam final. It's 99% probability that the opponent played better. Rather than the player losing, playing badly.
I cracked up when John McEnroe said ”imagine beating Nadal only to lose the whole tournament” Referring to Djokovic losing the French open finals to Stan Wawrinka in 2015. Lmao!!! 😂🤣
John McEnroe was practically begging Novak to please... beat him during commentary. I remember when John said the closed roof can defeat Rafa. The video is still up on RUclips from eurosport. I bought into that as well. LOL XD!
@@dgskilla6285 I'm a Rafa fan but it's true that he's never been great at indoor courts. It favors those who hit more flat. An open roof with windy condition is his greatest advantage with his tremendous control with the spin of the ball.
@@enderlain385 I meant to say Nadal seem vulnerable under the roof at Roland Garros during the fall season. It never happened before. If anything else, Rafa looked far greater today dealing with this situation.
And among the audience, an old man tells his grandson: "When he won his first there were no phones with internet". And the grandson: "I'm not falling in that one gramps"
haha lets remember at some point the ones who won once hahah valid too (Andres Gomez 1990) Vintage) Viva Nadal! wow 13 times Rafaaaa! "Unbelievable" lol
Pete Sampras was widely considered as the greatest tennis ever when he won 14 grand slams... Nadal now has 13 French Opens alone ... I have to laugh everytime I think of how ridiculous his French Open record is !
The first player in tennis history to win a 4 times GS titles without lose a set after 2008, 2010, 2017, incredible And he doesn't win 7: 5 7: 6 (with a few exceptions), only 6: 0, 6: 1 6: 2 ... unimaginable He can read a game better, he can do more with the ball than anyone else, he plays aerodynamically and is very clever tactically. The difference between him and the others is so big on clay and especially in RG that even if he played with 50% of his ability he would win in 3 tight sets or in 4. We will never see a player like that again, not even on other surfaces We should be happy that we are living in this tennis time
Obviously I and most predicted Rafa winning the tournament but I did not expect this steamrolling. Rafa is a master of all surfaces but on clay he is magic.
We're fedal fans and love the relationship between Federer and Nadal! We are also tennis players and would love to welcome you to our channel and videos as well and would appreciate your support!!
@@darrenlang1111 The toxicity usually comes from Djokovic fans. I'm a Fed fan but still have mad respect for both Nadal and Djokovic. They are all freakishly good. How can you hate on people who have brought such immense popularity to our favourite sport and mostly very good sportsmen.

I will never forget this! Rafa is my most favourite tennis player. And to see him win 13TH RG Title, 20TH Grand Slam Title and 100TH win in RG was so emotional for me. I'm so happy right now!🏆
The first time i watched you was in 2009 Australian Open . A little young guy from Mallorca with a shy attitude and a humble pure heart yet with a world to conquer , small in his words and compassionate in his opponents after their defeats but on the court a matador ready to strike and show no mercy in his strokes . I was fascinated as a small kid ; the athleticism the fighting spirit and the mindset of never giving up had made me a fan instantly. From that moment on I knew who I was supporting ; tennis itself THE GOD OF CLAY . You are the greatest inspiration for me , you introduced me to tennis and the passion of the sport . You made me stronger , more determined and with the sole purpose of achieving greatness in life while maintaining humility. I would have never ever expected in my life that after so long you would still find new ways to jaw drop me and make me love the game even more always learning new values and aspects in life. THE GREATEST IDOL THE GREATEST SPORTSMAN AND ATHLETE IN HISTORY THE GREATEST EXAMPLE OF A TRUE WARRIOR DO NOT STOP , ONLY MOVE FORWARD I WILL FOLLOW THAT EXAMPLE...! #13 and still counting... GOAT!! Stay Healthy Everybody..
His greatest rival Djokovic killed him in AO final 2019 - Nadal winning just 8 games. Reply: Nadal destroying Djokovic to just winning 7 games in FO final 2020. What a rivalry!!!
That had to be SO satisfying. The lead-up: "Oh, it's cooler, and the conditions favor Djokovic. Rafa's run is over." And Rafa produced one of his best Roland Garros tournaments ever. Here's a stat for you: Roger Federer has won 20 Grand Slam Men's Singles tournaments in 79 tries. Nadal has done the same ... in 60 tries. Who's the GOAT? That would be Rafa.
@@wave1468 Yeah... TEENAGE Rafa lol... fed won 6 majors by 2005 and Rafa only beat him on clay which is a given because Rafa on clay is the greatest tennis player of all time...once Rafa grew up a little bit and actually improved his game - 2008, 2009 federer stopped winning as much. Djokovic was a much later bloomer too and Ofc this doesn’t mean Federer can’t beat either of them these days (match point against Djokovic in Wimbledon 2019 for example) but it shows that he won most of his majors (15 or so) before Rafa (and then later Djokovic) truly started to dominate
I didn't know that. 79 vs 60 attempts is a huge difference actually. And Federer's early opponents were not nearly as tough as what Djokovic and Nadal had to play against. Neither Safin, nor Roddick were as dangerous as Wawrinka, Thiem, Murray when on his prime, etc.
I just cited that figure today. On the women's side Evert was also 1 in 3. That's a good reason for him to be the GOAT, you're right; a lot more impressive than the 35 or something consecutive semifinals of FedExpress in Majors.
If Rafa has played 60 slams instead of 70 or 80 as a result of injuries then that's his own doing. Maybe if he played a less physical brand of tennis then he'd have less chances of getting injured.Of course playing less physical tennis might mean less chance of winning those 20 that he has won.
All the so called experts in tennis predicted Djokovic winning. Ivanisevic, chist evert, wilander, Brad Gilbert, mackanroe, bodo, muratouglo, etc etc. I never doubted the man, raining, wet, winter, cold, sun, no sun, heavy balls, not winning Rome, Djokovic winning Rome. This is Rafa's best surface.
Nadal just confirmed what most people thought: he is Mozart in this court. His footwork, court coverage, change in rhythm, and his devastating forehand. If he keeps this form, I seriously doubt anyone in the world can win here if Nadal reaches the final. The emperor of clay and possibly the GOAT himself !.
@@taopaille-paille4992 I am sorry, his footwork and sensible touch of the volleys says otherwise. The craftsmanship of his tennis is second to none, on clay. Especially this court. So, again, he is the best in the history of the sport and his records tells you that too. A master of masters.
@@Xo.064 I am not sure I get it. For me as a non American, it is an insult to compare Nadal performance with a Hollywood nobody of the seventies. I don't see the resemblance and I don't like it.
It's funny how Novak celebrated holding his serve as if he was winning the match. That is a good way to understand the level that Nadal was displaying that day. I have not seen anything like that before. Nadal is just on other level when playing on clay courts. Really hoping he gets to win even more grand slams and hopefully the ATP Finals or any other indoor tournament before he retires.
I also keep watching it, great to witness such an empowered discipled human being. I work in a very depressing tough area,combatting human trafficking. Nadal played such a superb match against a fantastic opponent and wow what wonderful engaging ,joyous ,smile at the end.
I've keep coming back to see these highlights. Novak fans are completely shut up about this win. They were on the attack after Nadal lost in Rome. They declared a Novak victory, over Nadal, before the FO even began. Now they are silent. I am simply gloating. You never tire of seeing Mr. Rafael Nadal smile as he holds the French Open trophy for all the world to see.
Saw the whole match. Absolutely one sided, Rafa basically played whole match without mistake. U cant beat a player playin like dat. Not a fucking chance
Did you missed that word Australian Open? Where's that US Open come from?😂. And yes they are both hard court but different in roughness. And again AUSTRALIAN OPEN BRUUUUH😂😂😂
If you understand tennis, you understand that Nadal stood much closer to the baseline than he typically does and this caught Novak by surprise. That little bit of time he took away from his opponent meant all the difference. Rafa knows how to defend his home court. This was a fantastic display of tennis...
It was one of the best strategical/tactical performances I've ever seen anyone do against Djokovic, which is impressive, since it's very difficult to execute a consistent strategy against him
I'm a Fed fan, i fear the day he would be equalized for so many years... it happens today and at the end, i'm not sad at all! Congrats Rafa, you deserve it, hard worker and great sportsman!
Yeah me too. Is OK. Federer can still win a few more although I think Covid and stadium with little crowd might put an end to his career sooner that expected.
I think Fed and Nadal both win one more next year...Nadal French, Fed Wimbledon. Gonna be hard for Djokovic to catch up to these two since even though he's the youngest, he's still over 33. But I think Djokovic can win at least two more.
At the age of 34 most athletes retire or fade away from the highest level of competition. Not Rafael Nadal, who put one of his best Roland Garros performances ever in this final.
At the age of 34 most athletes retire or fade away from the highest level of competition. Not novak who put one of his best Roland Garros performances ever in this semifinal final against nadal.
Nadal won it again at age 36. Beating an in form Novak on the way. And Djokovic at 35 is making mincemeat out of his opponents at AO right now and hes in the SF, and every time hes reached a SF, hes won the title. Which means in about 78-79 hours from now, Novak will be lifting the AO trophy again. For a 10th time. Will be the first time ever Novak reaches double digits at majors, and Wimbledon is well within reach too.
@@james-vx7nv I'm glad that Novak is back in Australia, and at the peak of his power and greatness nevertheless. I still can't diminish Rafa's epic AO run last year since it was a very tough achievement, beating Medvedev in the final, but I wanted Novak in as well. It will be double digits for him indeed, and for the first time. I don't know if he'll win 10 Wimbledons but you just can't count him out.
@@VaisinI can't see him losing a Wimbledon match for another 2-3 years, perhaps 4. No matter the situation, last 4 years, he finds a way each time. In a 5+ hour battle vs peak Rafa (2018 SF) and facing multiple break points in the fifth? No problem for Novak. Down a set to a Brit (2018 R3 Edmund, 2022 SF Norrie, 2021 R1 Draper)? No problem. Down 2 match points to Roger? Not a problem. Not to mention 100% of the crowd was against Novak. Sun in his eyes too and he was returning Federer's serve. Then again crowds are never an issue for Novak. Down 2 sets to a guy 15 years younger? (Sinner 2022 QF) No problem. Down a set to Kyrgios (2022 Final) having never won a set vs Nick and never having broken his serve previously? No problem. Down a set to a guy undefeated on grass that season? (Berrettini 2021 final) no problem. Regardless of who defeats him, its gonna be a SEISMIC shock next time Novak loses a Wimbledon match. Makes Murrays win in 2013 all the more incredible that he managed to pull it off. Rafa's epic AO run isnt possible with Novak in Australia. But Medvedev was also in fantastic form and mentally in a great place, especially after coming from 2 sets and MP down vs FAA who himself had a great year. Rafa coming from 2 sets down vs a confident Medvedev was truly stunning given the circumstances. The tough 5 setter vs Shapo when Nadal won despite heat stroke. And being out for 5 months before. Only downside was that it destroyed Meddy's confidence. He hasn't been the same since.
After all the hype that Djokovic is technically better, has all the answers to every Nadal shot, and was expected to give Nadal trouble, Nadal dismantled Djokovic's game and announced once and for all that Nadal is, and has always been, the king of clay. Or should I say, god of clay.
Sagan8, I absolutely loved your comment on Nadal. I had so many ugly "Haters" and "Losers" send me ugly messages, after Nadal lost to Diego S. in Rome, that I teared up after his dominating victory over No.1-Djokovic. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED your comment. I am still celebrating against the Haters that I work with who dismissed Nadal and who are now watching me glow with this victory! More power to you, Sagan8!!
Oo ça oui 👍🏼 ! On a vraiment la chance de pouvoir voir le meilleur terrien de tous les temps ! Avant je regardais les anciens vainqueurs de rg, mais ils font tellement pâles figure à côté de Rafa , même guga aurait pris une branlée j’en suis certain, tellement le niveau de Rafa sur terre est du jamais vu ! Une sorte de bjorn borg presque parfait !
Rafael Nadal have 22 major titles,36 atp masters titles,23 atp 500 titles and 1 Olympic gold medal Mostly. Rafael Nadal is one of the greatest tennis player of all time in the open era and greatest clay court player ever born on the 🌍 Sad Thing Djokovic is overall better player than Rafael Nadal in open era he have 22 Major titles,6 Atp finals titles, 38 atp masters titles and 14 atp 500 titles in the open era mostly Djokovic is more complete player than Rafael Nadal in the open era. Djokovic is Undisputed goat of tennis sport and Rafael Nadal is one of the greatest tennis player in open era like other tennis players in open era. Rafael Nadal lacks atp finals titles with him which removes him from Goat race completely. Goat race is between Djokovic and Roger Federer in open era. Both are same in attitude and mentality also They are both best in grass courts and hard courts also Roger Federer always gives tough and intense fight to Djokovic on grass courts and hard courts
Djokovic and Federer favourite surfaces are Hard courts and grass courts. They both like indoors and outdoors equally also. Both want to rule Tennis sport. Djokovic must win Calendar slam to become goat of tennis sport or Federer is goat of tennis sport that's all as he have more Wimbledon and US Open titles than Djokovic mostly.
Only Hard courts and grass courts can be taken between Djokovic and Roger Federer. Hence Djokovic have more Australian open titles than Federer but Federer have more Wimbledon titles and US Open titles than djoko. Djokovic must prove he is superior to Federer by winning more US Open titles and Wimbledon titles or win Calendar slam in 2023.
@@matteo964 Let's not be too greedy. At the 10th one, we were already hoping for 2,3, 4 more... He has 13 of them today. Could we only really deep that in ?
I have never seen Nadal so quiet in a match. Sublime shotmaking with total confidence in every move. This was a little different to the recent 2021 SF of RG. Palpable stress and momentous pressure, with, at times, an unbelievable amount of errors. It made for a tense battle amid the finest of margins.
Yeah, this Nadal would still probably straight set the 2021 Djokovic, or 4 sets at most. But, asking for THIS level Nadal every single time is a huge ask i guess..
@@armadyl1212 Completely agree. I think Nadal himself said it best speaking to the Spanish press: "But if you want to win, you can't make these mistakes. So that's it. Well done for him. Has been a good fight out there. I try my best, and today was not my day." "My opportunities to win here are not eternal,” he continued. “In our sport, you must admit both victory and defeat. I do know that I can't win the tournament 15, 18, 20 times." What a class act.

Thiem won the first grand slam. People are thinking maybe it’s time for the new gens. And then nadal won French open without dropping a single set at the age of 34👍
Nadal dominates the entire match. He played smart tennis today and he lessen his short ball return and he exchaged rallies to novak and hitting deep groundstroke from the baseline. He's such a ruthless in this final. Amazingly, he won this tournament again without dropping a single set. Even the weather condition not suits his game it motivates him to desire to win. Unfortunately for novak he totally outplayed and no answer to rafa's aggression. Too many unforced errors that caused him a lot's of trouble. Though the match did'nt extend i would say it's entertaining final match. Congrats rafa in your 100 match wins in R.G.
I never thought I could surprised by Nadal's brilliance at the French Open, but he somehow manages to outdo even his own peerless standards. Bravo from a Federer fan. Bravo, Rafa!
Novak totally outclassed and outplayed by Rafa, the first two sets even seemed as a pro against an amateur who happens to be the world’s number one by a difference of almost 2000 points. Rafa is by far the best player on clay of all time.
Both players have so much respect for each other. If you see Rafa throughout the entire tournament, he always put the racket instead of a handshake when finishing his 6 previous matches. With Novak you can see he didn't even have the intention to do that. Great players.
@@alephnull4044 The difference in level between those 3 and the rest is stupid, they are just hoping that one side of the brackets doesnt have any of them so they can reach a final
Just a ramdom person crazy thing is when Nadal and Joker each went through some injury problems a few years ago we finally thought maybe the new generation will emerge. Well it’s 2020 now and the same 3 GOATs are still head shoulders above the world. Fed may finally be at the end of his best tho
Thebassist Noeve you trolls keep saying this he lost but Novak played the game off his life to beat nadal and got lucky get real mate nadal give Djokovic so many beat downs at the French open and he’s Novak biggest rival he’s beat Djokovic in 5 grand slam finals and grand slam semi finals only nadal puts Djokovic in his place
Everything was against him this year...Final in october, cold, rain, wilson balls, Novak in the final and they even closed the roof for final... still he won it without dropping a set and the way he destroyed Djokovic in final is just amazing... such a legend - repeat in half a year...
Not really. The court was much slower than usulal which neutralised Novak's serve and return speed. This was more close match than the scoreboard shows. He outclassed Novak, didn't destroyed him. Destruction was Ao2019 final.
@@miodragmanojlovic In Ao2019 Nadal won 8 gems to Novak's 7 in RG ;) and still didn't lose set to 0 xD Both matches were very one sided though. Novak just wasn't in best form and you could already see this in games with Carenno and Tsitsipas, low % of first serve, a lot of unforced errors. He has actually very easy draw, don't think he was good enough here to beat Thiem or Schwartzman not to mention Nadal
lukino petkos to each his own bro, I just think it would be greater to see RF have his name given to the central court at Wimbledon bcz he won more titles there than Nole, but Nole’s career isn’t over yet so yeah he can overtake him
In all my years watching tennis, I've never seen anyone dominate a surface like Rafa dominates clay. And not just clay, this particular tournament (Roland Garros). Damn! Nothing absolutely nothing works in there against him when he is in shape. We're talking about Novak Djokovic, Rafa's nemesis and he destroyed him like he was nothing. Novak did so too last year at the AO2019 but damn Rafa gave him a bagel and a 6-2 for 2 sets! This defeat was even worse.

There were 2-3 Games were Thiem Beat him impresivly in Madrid, this was awesome against a really Good Nadal! But this Season he would Beat Thiem easily cause he was rly tires from US Open and the Hard Rivals!
Yes, and you know I worked on his wikipedia page for over a year and successfully removed the part about his limited physical abilities and doubt of longevity due to his series of minor injuries. Yeah, he's been so limited, he's won 13 majors at a single event over a 15+ year professional career.
Nadal's dominance at RG shouldn't be a surprise to anyone anymore, but it's still simply amazing for Nadal to beat arguably the world's second greatest clay-court player so comprehensively in the final. I'm a Djokovic fan, but you gotta tip your hat to true greatness when you see it.
I love him! After all his struggles and injuries am happy he wins and hopefully he will win a lot more ..more then RF even im from switzerland but after all he went through he is for me the GOAT..
beg to differ, overall 🐐 is clearly Djoker by a huge margin. When he does retire with 25 slams which is highly likely, he’ll be the 🐐 in the history of sports.

@Barış Alkan This is a bit oversimplifying. You have long points also on grass or hc nowadays.
@@Srednicki123 He didn't say the opposite. But there's a lot more long points in clay than in any other surfaces
@Barış Alkan true but the high bounce is even more of a factor than the court speed. Nadals forehand simply does too much damage even with margin for anybody to deal with over 5 sets.
Nadal’s movement and forehand on clay is the greatest miracle in all of sport history.
Thing is here these conditions was the best possible for Novak with the closed roof and cold temperature, more control + lower bounce. So even though it is clay this match should have been closer maybe even a different winner perhaps if Novak played his best.

Katherine Sparkes to have 20 GS when you are excellent on clay or grass is twice more difficult than to win on hard court. Not only that. To play on clay is the most difficult of the three as it requires much more technique, mental strength and strategy as you cannot rely so much on your service. That is why he is the best even if Federer has a more refined technique. That and because his injury struggles and his come backs and his humility and his attitude on and off court. Federer was playing tennis 5 years without facing an strong opponent. In fact, Rafa lost 2 Wimbledon Finals before he defeated him in 2008. Federer won one RG because Nadal was out with injury. It is like Thiem’s US open victory without the Top 3.
"I have always had the utmost respect for my friend Rafa as a person and as champion. As my greatest rival over many years, I believe we have pushed each other to become better players. Therefore, it is a true honor for me to congratulate him on his 20th Grand Slam victory. It is especially amazing that he has now won Roland Garros an amazing 13 times, which is one of the greatest achievement in sport. I also congratulate his team, because nobody can do this alone. I hope 20 is just another step on the continuing journey for both of us. Well done, Rafa. You deserve it." - Roger Federer

This was the most tactical beat down I’ve ever seen on a court besides the beating Rafa gave Roger in RG 08. Nadal used every single conceivable shot, lob, drop shot, angle, topspin, high looping forehand return, straight backhand, straight forehand, change of pace slice followed by a fearhand return... my goodness...

Those first two sets were sooo good. Nadal did not hit a single unforced error till the end of the second set. That was just incredible
Unbelievable, I thought it should be a 5-set match. There will be nobody like Rafa again, never ever again. I'm just so lucky to be able to witness his career.
Almargo said it best "Rafa will win Roland Garros 40 years in a row... he'll be 65 and still be winning at Roland Garros". That was back in 2008. As a Rafa fan, I am so proud of his achievements. Everything was against him winning this year's tournament - he hadn't won a warm-up tournament leading into Roland Garros for the first time in his career, the cold, wet weather and heavy ball would neutralise his natural advantages, and the seemingly invincible Novak Djokovic who owns a winning record (29-26) over him would be too much for him to overcome.
I just love how Rafa rises to the challenge and overcomes adversity each and every time. Yes, there's been some heartbreaking losses over the years but I am never disappointed in being his fan. When he loses, he accepts it and moves on and comes back even stronger.
But they ALL have had devastating losses though. It's part of the sport! U just have to expect them, learn from them and move on!
I totally agree with you. Beautiful words. What a wonderful time for tennis. We’ll miss this guys in the future. I feel lucky to be able to enjoy this as it happens and not in history books. Greetings from Spain.
He is the best example for the kids and adults alike, in my opinion. Such a great human being in general, same goes for the members of the big three. We are blessed with their greatness and kindness. As other folk said already, as far as Nadal wins Rolland Garros, it is good to be here on earth.

Rafa's game has gotten better and smarter over the years! A testament to his hard work, discipline and love for the sport.
Honestly, if you watched the whole match there was nothing Djokovic could do or did'nt do to win. He threw the kitchen sink at Nadal and the ball still came back with interest or a clean winner. Like AO'19 final where Djokovic was unplayable, today Nadal was simply unplayable. Rafa reserved his best for the finals.
I think nole could have played better. However, i think nadal was unbeatable today. Let's hope nole win ao
😂🤣👍🏿
Not at all. Novak looked flat from the start. He had no heart in this match.
Nadal was not unbeateble today, Djokovic did not have the commitment to spent 5 hours hitting the ball plus 90 mph to overplay Nadal, and thats why Nadal is one of the GOAT a machine that will destroy you if you dont put the best you have in each match....
@ TheRUclipsr and Ja Y : Oh please, for godsakes, stop with the BS. This was probably the most important match in Djokovic's career and he had everything to play for. Just give credit to Rafa. He neutralized Nole from the get go, with some extremely smart and strategic tennis. So, did Rafa play badly in the AO'19 final, no! Djokovic was unplayable that day, like Nadal was today.
PS: When someone loses a grand slam final. It's 99% probability that the opponent played better. Rather than the player losing, playing badly.

Taiga Ball, you have proved that Djokovic has some classy fans. Thanks for yr nice comment.
Gracias amigo
The first player in tennis history to win a 4 times GS titles without lose a set after 2008, 2010, 2017, incredible
And he doesn't win 7: 5 7: 6 (with a few exceptions), only 6: 0, 6: 1 6: 2 ... unimaginable
He can read a game better, he can do more with the ball than anyone else, he plays aerodynamically and is very clever tactically.
The difference between him and the others is so big on clay and especially in RG that even if he played with 50% of his ability he would win in 3 tight sets or in 4.
We will never see a player like that again, not even on other surfaces
We should be happy that we are living in this tennis time
What do you mean by "aerodynamicly" has it to do with topspin?
So you are deciding to be selective with the data? IN 2007 when he won in Paris it was 4 sets over Federer? Do I need to go on???
Who did???
@@DAS1962 what do you mean? the man said it right; 2008, 2010, 2017 and 2020, FO won without losing a single set

Obviously I and most predicted Rafa winning the tournament but I did not expect this steamrolling. Rafa is a master of all surfaces but on clay he is magic.

Why is this tournament still called "Roland Garros" and not "RAFA NADAL"

But maybe the french would like to keep their hero‘s name. So I suggest we keep the RG, but not Roland Garros, it’s Rafa Garros lol

Because Roland Garros died for his country.

Rafa's performance in this match was probably the best performance anyone has ever put out in any tennis final ever since the RG 2008 final. Just ridiculous.
Nah. I'd take 2010-2014 Rafa over this one anyday. Djokovic played very bad in the first two sets.

@@tennisradu 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 Rafa>>>>>>2020 Nadal. The difference was 2020 Nadal faced a declined and injured Djokovic on clay and a relatively weak field. 2012 and 2013 Rafa had to deal with prime Djokovic 2.0. 2012 Rafa would have straight setted the Serb if not for the rain delay. That is a very big difference. 2020 Rafa lost to Schwartzman in Rome. And you call call yourself a Nadal fan? Lol. Just stop.
@@jacobschmidt2709 Wtf, can you tell me what injury did Djokovic have during the RG 2020 final? 🤣🤣 Such bullshit... A "declined Djokovic" when he literally didn't lose A SINGLE match in 2020 until the final against Rafa. We can also speak about a weak field for Djokovic in 2021 as well, stop being biased. Why don't you say the same about a "declined" Rafa in AO 2019 and RG 2021? Whenever I see you on RUclips, I really don't know who dafuq you are in real life, but you always write nonsense about Rafa, it's clear you can't stand him, but having double standards doesn't help either. 😒
@@jacobschmidt2709 The same 2020 Rafa beat Schwartzman in RG where it mattered most, the same"weak field" guy Djokovic beat in the Rome final. You're just a kid who pretends he knows tennis. You don't. 😅

Same every word
Mine too❤ Team Rafa all day long.
I completely get you. Seeing Nadal win, and in such a dominant fashion, just genuinely gives me joy.
Same here!
Me too 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The first time i watched you was in 2009 Australian Open . A little young guy from Mallorca with a shy attitude and a humble pure heart yet with a world to conquer , small in his words and compassionate in his opponents after their defeats but on the court a matador ready to strike and show no mercy in his strokes .
I was fascinated as a small kid ; the athleticism the fighting spirit and the mindset of never giving up had made me a fan instantly. From that moment on I knew who I was supporting ; tennis itself THE GOD OF CLAY . You are the greatest inspiration for me , you introduced me to tennis and the passion of the sport . You made me stronger , more determined and with the sole purpose of achieving greatness in life while maintaining humility. I would have never ever expected in my life that after so long you would still find new ways to jaw drop me and make me love the game even more always learning new values and aspects in life.
THE GREATEST IDOL
THE GREATEST SPORTSMAN AND ATHLETE IN HISTORY
THE GREATEST EXAMPLE OF A TRUE WARRIOR
DO NOT STOP , ONLY MOVE FORWARD
I WILL FOLLOW THAT EXAMPLE...!
#13 and still counting... GOAT!!
Stay Healthy Everybody..
I'm from Spain, and I never could have told It better as you said. Rafa Nadal is everything you said, and he is still humble even after so many wins.
Rafa was not a little shy kid in 2009. He was already 23 years old and had multiple slams under his belt.
Agree....100%
You echo my thoughts too !! I use him as an inspiration to work hard and not give up
nice words
His greatest rival Djokovic killed him in AO final 2019 - Nadal winning just 8 games. Reply: Nadal destroying Djokovic to just winning 7 games in FO final 2020. What a rivalry!!!
That had to be SO satisfying. The lead-up: "Oh, it's cooler, and the conditions favor Djokovic. Rafa's run is over." And Rafa produced one of his best Roland Garros tournaments ever. Here's a stat for you: Roger Federer has won 20 Grand Slam Men's Singles tournaments in 79 tries. Nadal has done the same ... in 60 tries. Who's the GOAT? That would be Rafa.
@Napoléon Bonaparte Rafa beat Fed from 2005 - 2014 and last year and beat Djokovic's in 2013 and just has now, so that statement is false
@@wave1468 Yeah... TEENAGE Rafa lol... fed won 6 majors by 2005 and Rafa only beat him on clay which is a given because Rafa on clay is the greatest tennis player of all time...once Rafa grew up a little bit and actually improved his game - 2008, 2009 federer stopped winning as much. Djokovic was a much later bloomer too and Ofc this doesn’t mean Federer can’t beat either of them these days (match point against Djokovic in Wimbledon 2019 for example) but it shows that he won most of his majors (15 or so) before Rafa (and then later Djokovic) truly started to dominate
I didn't know that. 79 vs 60 attempts is a huge difference actually. And Federer's early opponents were not nearly as tough as what Djokovic and Nadal had to play against. Neither Safin, nor Roddick were as dangerous as Wawrinka, Thiem, Murray when on his prime, etc.
I just cited that figure today. On the women's side Evert was also 1 in 3. That's a good reason for him to be the GOAT, you're right; a lot more impressive than the 35 or something consecutive semifinals of FedExpress in Majors.
If Rafa has played 60 slams instead of 70 or 80 as a result of injuries then that's his own doing. Maybe if he played a less physical brand of tennis then he'd have less chances of getting injured.Of course playing less physical tennis might mean less chance of winning those 20 that he has won.
Not only is Rafa an extremely good player, he’s also a super nice guy. Congratulations Rafa.
All the so called experts in tennis predicted Djokovic winning. Ivanisevic, chist evert, wilander, Brad Gilbert, mackanroe, bodo, muratouglo, etc etc. I never doubted the man, raining, wet, winter, cold, sun, no sun, heavy balls, not winning Rome, Djokovic winning Rome. This is Rafa's best surface.
I can't show you here but I put 500£ on Nadal today and I won 900£
They never know what they talk about! Even when they comment on matches they talk pureeee sh!t.
@@urimbrati5848 congrats
Fr bruh they really thought the weather and balls would be more important than surface and location smh
Even the commentators are biased.😂
Nadal just confirmed what most people thought: he is Mozart in this court. His footwork, court coverage, change in rhythm, and his devastating forehand. If he keeps this form, I seriously doubt anyone in the world can win here if Nadal reaches the final. The emperor of clay and possibly the GOAT himself !.
I would not say he is the Mozart of this court, but more the Chuck Norris.
@@taopaille-paille4992 I am sorry, his footwork and sensible touch of the volleys says otherwise. The craftsmanship of his tennis is second to none, on clay. Especially this court. So, again, he is the best in the history of the sport and his records tells you that too. A master of masters.
@@j.erickson8571 He is implying that Chuck Norris furthers your compliment, he is not disagreeing with your overall message
@@Xo.064 I am not sure I get it. For me as a non American, it is an insult to compare Nadal performance with a Hollywood nobody of the seventies. I don't see the resemblance and I don't like it.
The variety on his forehand hits this game was amazing. I don't think I've seen that level ever. Power, technique and touch. Nadal has it all.
It's funny how Novak celebrated holding his serve as if he was winning the match. That is a good way to understand the level that Nadal was displaying that day. I have not seen anything like that before. Nadal is just on other level when playing on clay courts. Really hoping he gets to win even more grand slams and hopefully the ATP Finals or any other indoor tournament before he retires.
He celebrated breaking serve lol
@@quibquab1731 that’s nothing
5:46 Spot on. Novak was celebrating like a crazy holding his serve to tie the third set 3-3.
Let's not let Rafa's dominance on clay distract us from the fact that Roland Garros uploaded 8 minutes of highlights.
That's definitely a first!!
That's a lot of tape
amazing!!
LOL
A watershed moment that will be remembered for generations to come.
Who has seen this highlights like 10 times (or more) already?
Can't get tired of watching them....damn.
I also keep watching it, great to witness such an empowered discipled human being. I work in a very depressing tough area,combatting human trafficking. Nadal played such a superb match against a fantastic opponent and wow what wonderful engaging ,joyous ,smile at the end.
I've keep coming back to see these highlights. Novak fans are completely shut up about this win. They were on the attack after Nadal lost in Rome. They declared a Novak victory, over Nadal, before the FO even began. Now they are silent. I am simply gloating. You never tire of seeing Mr. Rafael Nadal smile as he holds the French Open trophy for all the world to see.
I watch it whenever I need a pick me up, lol.

Saw the whole match. Absolutely one sided, Rafa basically played whole match without mistake. U cant beat a player playin like dat. Not a fucking chance
He is just on another level compared to ANYONE on clay. No one comes close.
How did you come to this conclusion ? (sarcasm please don’t answer)
ruclips.net/video/IOB1XdNM5Dk/видео.html
Same goes with Novak in the hard surface come Australian Open☺️
@@ioriyagami6421 Nadal has more US open titles than djokovic, which is played on hard surface!
Did you missed that word Australian Open? Where's that US Open come from?😂. And yes they are both hard court but different in roughness. And again AUSTRALIAN OPEN BRUUUUH😂😂😂
If you understand tennis, you understand that Nadal stood much closer to the baseline than he typically does and this caught Novak by surprise. That little bit of time he took away from his opponent meant all the difference. Rafa knows how to defend his home court. This was a fantastic display of tennis...
It was one of the best strategical/tactical performances I've ever seen anyone do against Djokovic, which is impressive, since it's very difficult to execute a consistent strategy against him
I hope he continued improving his tactics against Djokovic this year.
Federer and Djokovic should really feel lucky that they where able to win RG once each to complete the Career Grand Slam during the Nadal era.

I think Fed and Nadal both win one more next year...Nadal French, Fed Wimbledon. Gonna be hard for Djokovic to catch up to these two since even though he's the youngest, he's still over 33. But I think Djokovic can win at least two more.
At the age of 34 most athletes retire or fade away from the highest level of competition. Not Rafael Nadal, who put one of his best Roland Garros performances ever in this final.
At the age of 34 most athletes retire or fade away from the highest level of competition. Not novak who put one of his best Roland Garros performances ever in this semifinal final against nadal.
Nadal won it again at age 36. Beating an in form Novak on the way. And Djokovic at 35 is making mincemeat out of his opponents at AO right now and hes in the SF, and every time hes reached a SF, hes won the title. Which means in about 78-79 hours from now, Novak will be lifting the AO trophy again. For a 10th time. Will be the first time ever Novak reaches double digits at majors, and Wimbledon is well within reach too.
@@james-vx7nv I'm glad that Novak is back in Australia, and at the peak of his power and greatness nevertheless. I still can't diminish Rafa's epic AO run last year since it was a very tough achievement, beating Medvedev in the final, but I wanted Novak in as well. It will be double digits for him indeed, and for the first time. I don't know if he'll win 10 Wimbledons but you just can't count him out.
@@VaisinI can't see him losing a Wimbledon match for another 2-3 years, perhaps 4. No matter the situation, last 4 years, he finds a way each time.
In a 5+ hour battle vs peak Rafa (2018 SF) and facing multiple break points in the fifth? No problem for Novak.
Down a set to a Brit (2018 R3 Edmund, 2022 SF Norrie, 2021 R1 Draper)? No problem.
Down 2 match points to Roger? Not a problem. Not to mention 100% of the crowd was against Novak. Sun in his eyes too and he was returning Federer's serve. Then again crowds are never an issue for Novak.
Down 2 sets to a guy 15 years younger? (Sinner 2022 QF) No problem.
Down a set to Kyrgios (2022 Final) having never won a set vs Nick and never having broken his serve previously? No problem.
Down a set to a guy undefeated on grass that season? (Berrettini 2021 final) no problem.
Regardless of who defeats him, its gonna be a SEISMIC shock next time Novak loses a Wimbledon match. Makes Murrays win in 2013 all the more incredible that he managed to pull it off.
Rafa's epic AO run isnt possible with Novak in Australia. But Medvedev was also in fantastic form and mentally in a great place, especially after coming from 2 sets and MP down vs FAA who himself had a great year. Rafa coming from 2 sets down vs a confident Medvedev was truly stunning given the circumstances. The tough 5 setter vs Shapo when Nadal won despite heat stroke. And being out for 5 months before. Only downside was that it destroyed Meddy's confidence. He hasn't been the same since.
@@james-vx7nvSinner and Alcaraz say hi!!!
After all the hype that Djokovic is technically better, has all the answers to every Nadal shot, and was expected to give Nadal trouble, Nadal dismantled Djokovic's game and announced once and for all that Nadal is, and has always been, the king of clay. Or should I say, god of clay.

how about now?
Rafael Nadal have 22 major titles,36 atp masters titles,23 atp 500 titles and 1 Olympic gold medal Mostly.
Rafael Nadal is one of the greatest tennis player of all time in the open era and greatest clay court player ever born on the 🌍
Sad Thing Djokovic is overall better player than Rafael Nadal in open era he have 22 Major titles,6 Atp finals titles, 38 atp masters titles and 14 atp 500 titles in the open era mostly
Djokovic is more complete player than Rafael Nadal in the open era.
Djokovic is Undisputed goat of tennis sport and Rafael Nadal is one of the greatest tennis player in open era like other tennis players in open era.
Rafael Nadal lacks atp finals titles with him which removes him from Goat race completely.
Goat race is between Djokovic and Roger Federer in open era. Both are same in attitude and mentality also
They are both best in grass courts and hard courts also Roger Federer always gives tough and intense fight to Djokovic on grass courts and hard courts
Djokovic and Federer favourite surfaces are Hard courts and grass courts. They both like indoors and outdoors equally also. Both want to rule Tennis sport.
Djokovic must win Calendar slam to become goat of tennis sport or Federer is goat of tennis sport that's all as he have more Wimbledon and US Open titles than Djokovic mostly.
Only Hard courts and grass courts can be taken between Djokovic and Roger Federer.
Hence Djokovic have more Australian open titles than Federer but Federer have more Wimbledon titles and US Open titles than djoko.
Djokovic must prove he is superior to Federer by winning more US Open titles and Wimbledon titles or win Calendar slam in 2023.

I have never seen Nadal so quiet in a match. Sublime shotmaking with total confidence in every move. This was a little different to the recent 2021 SF of RG. Palpable stress and momentous pressure, with, at times, an unbelievable amount of errors. It made for a tense battle amid the finest of margins.
Yeah, this Nadal would still probably straight set the 2021 Djokovic, or 4 sets at most. But, asking for THIS level Nadal every single time is a huge ask i guess..

"But if you want to win, you can't make these mistakes. So that's it. Well done for him. Has been a good fight out there. I try my best, and today was not my day."
"My opportunities to win here are not eternal,” he continued. “In our sport, you must admit both victory and defeat. I do know that I can't win the tournament 15, 18, 20 times."

So yeah, I agree..... I wouldn’t make much of it.
Nadal dominates the entire match. He played smart tennis today and he lessen his short ball return and he exchaged rallies to novak and hitting deep groundstroke from the baseline. He's such a ruthless in this final. Amazingly, he won this tournament again without dropping a single set. Even the weather condition not suits his game it motivates him to desire to win. Unfortunately for novak he totally outplayed and no answer to rafa's aggression. Too many unforced errors that caused him a lot's of trouble.
Though the match did'nt extend i would say it's entertaining final match.

Samuel Gordon regardless of how close it really was, the end result was 6-0 6-2 7-5 if that isn't domination then idk was is
Honestly though, RG should already give a trophy for taking one set away from Nadal.
Lmfao 😂
He needs to have his name given to the central court when he ends his career, it has to be. Just like Federer should have at Wimbledon
Hahahaha good one
@@gabrielpaino3034 You meen Nole on Wimbeldon? Because that would be the right desicion. Nole is faaaaar better on gras the RF, no doubt
lukino petkos to each his own bro, I just think it would be greater to see RF have his name given to the central court at Wimbledon bcz he won more titles there than Nole, but Nole’s career isn’t over yet so yeah he can overtake him
In all my years watching tennis, I've never seen anyone dominate a surface like Rafa dominates clay. And not just clay, this particular tournament (Roland Garros). Damn! Nothing absolutely nothing works in there against him when he is in shape. We're talking about Novak Djokovic, Rafa's nemesis and he destroyed him like he was nothing. Novak did so too last year at the AO2019 but damn Rafa gave him a bagel and a 6-2 for 2 sets! This defeat was even worse.
ruclips.net/video/KZvSywNGMtw/видео.html NADALS FIRST MATCH ! 🛑🛑🛑 ( mentirá en verdad así que no me metáis por spam porque lo estoy explicando todo ,es un vídeo de Messi donde hay música de fondo ,gracias por el apoyo ! LOVE YOU GUYS
100-2 record and he's not done yet. He could still win another one or two French slams before he declines
There were 2-3 Games were Thiem Beat him impresivly in Madrid, this was awesome against a really Good Nadal! But this Season he would Beat Thiem easily cause he was rly tires from US Open and the Hard Rivals!
Yes, and you know I worked on his wikipedia page for over a year and successfully removed the part about his limited physical abilities and doubt of longevity due to his series of minor injuries. Yeah, he's been so limited, he's won 13 majors at a single event over a 15+ year professional career.
Never? Then you need to watch Djokovic at AO.
Nadal's dominance at RG shouldn't be a surprise to anyone anymore, but it's still simply amazing for Nadal to beat arguably the world's second greatest clay-court player so comprehensively in the final. I'm a Djokovic fan, but you gotta tip your hat to true greatness when you see it.
He's gonna Steam RoLL the DJokeR again
It’s great to see how happy and excited Rafa was when he got the trophy - you can tell he’s just as enthusiastic about winning RG as the first time.
Bravo!
I love him! After all his struggles and injuries am happy he wins and hopefully he will win a lot more ..more then RF even im from switzerland but after all he went through he is for me the GOAT..

beg to differ, overall 🐐 is clearly Djoker by a huge margin. When he does retire with 25 slams which is highly likely, he’ll be the 🐐 in the history of sports.
Amen

@@rag7027 Honestly, that does not seem too far fetched considering what the Serb has done this year.
