So many matches of the highest caliber and going to the absolute wire. The best rivalry in terms of shot making and contrast of styles. FEDAL forever!!
Fedal is the greatest rivalry in tennis! The two best players with the most slams, and the two most popular players in recent times. Without doubt the GOAT'S of tennis. 🎾🏆
@@JJJJ-fi9dg That's your opinion but I think you'll find more people would say the rivalry between Federer and Nadal is greater than the rivalry between Djokovic and Nadal.
You guys know what's funny? Before when Novak had less than 20 slams and everyone said Roger and Rafa are the GOAT just because Novak had 18 or 19 slams. Now when Novak has equal and is No.1 everyone says "They are all the GOAT". That's just sad to see:)
The rallies thez produce are stunning ! Federer is overall an offensive player ( mainly an offensive) while nadal is a bit more defensive espacialy on clay ! Thez have one of the greatest rivalry of all time
The rome 2006 final was insane...it was the craziest match...never ever saw federer’s such level..yet it was short of rafa’s not even best tennis..amazing...😍😍
@@viksinha5410 tbf, I'd trade them. Both of them are missing that M1000 AND have gotten EXTREMELY CLOSE MULTIPLE TIMES to the title. In that case, Nadal would need just Paris (and Shanghai I believe, but some may disagree), and Federer would just need MC.
These guys are the greatest, I don’t care what anyone says. Fedal changed the face of the sport - without them, tennis wouldn’t be half as enjoyable as it is now.
Craig Laughlin clay counts, but we all know nadal is just insane on clay. It just shows how good fed is since he manages to get to later rounds to face nadal. And they produce some beautiful matches even if nadal will always have a huge edge on clay.
@@hanhnguyen3054 It's not Rafa's fault if he's too good on clay, no excuse... Roger is to blame for his H2H on clay against Rafa. Rafa found the solution against him at wimbledon 2008, AO 2009 and many other tournaments on hardcourt.
The best rivalry ever in tennis. Nice you see nadal win, another time you see Federer win. Different surfaces,different winners, same brilliance of players.
Mainly because of the the great matches these two had in the finals. After the 2006 Rome final both Nadal and Fedrer were so gassed that they pulled out from the Hamburg masters. So the ATP decided to make them best-of-3.
@@rowdyabhi98 It was because of the Rome final in 2006. In 2005 Nadal pulled out of Hamburg because of the Final but Coria played and he did very well with him getting to Quarters losing to Federer in a good match 6-4 7-6 (7-3) so that made them keep the Best of 5 set final format. 2006 was the only reason why they changed it because both Nadal and Fed pulled out which was a major blow to Hamburg and the final was between Robredo and Stepanek. That's the reason why they decided to do what they did.
@lange darm Agree, but overall it's 24-16 in favour of Rafa. Although, head to head doesn't make Nadal GoAT, as all that matters is Grand Slam count which Federer leads, thus making him the GoAT. If Rafa surpasses Federer in terms of GS, then he'll become the GoAT.
@@tirthankarsarkar4206 federer won most of his slams when nadal and djokoivc werent there. Now federer can barley win any. federer is not the goat at all. he aint even close to nadal and djokoivc level
@@gamingwithnate8943 so you mean it's his fault that he is 6 years older?...and you sayin nadal and Djokovic are the only great players on the tour? If yes then u know nothing abt tennis
Nole might end up the goat (to me that's most slams). But for my pleasure: Roger and Rafa will always be top2. I'm NOT hating on Novak. After 50 years watching tennis, among clear legends, its a VISUAL thing. Nole is legendary, just not as pretty to watch. I have friends who hate tennis cuz they believe it's just ball back and forth. Well, any attempt to VISUALLY get them into the sport, would always be with Roger and/or Fedal footage :) Nole over the last 7 yrs or so just wins. So, yes, hes a great champion. He has everything in his arsenal. But overall, I get bored watching him. What else can I say. The variety of Roger's attacking style has been breathtaking over the years. And Nadal's stylish ball striking make him nearly equally mesmerizing to watch. I feel bad in a way for Nole, for my personal lack of interest in watching him. But to me taste, tennis has always been about "eye candy". It's why in previous eras, my fave legends to watch were Edberg, Sampras on grass, Connors fierceness. Etc. Currently, I am hoping SHAPOVALOV can blossom into a consistent champion, cuz his STYLE embraces elements of both Rafa and Roger :)
Great matches overall, probably the most spectacular rivalry, considering their opposite styles, charisma and level. However, Miami 2004? Really? Nah, it should've been replaced with Dubai 2006 or WTF 2010. I would've taken out Shanghai 2006 as well.
how the hell could you take out Shanghai 2006? Miami 04 sure it's not a great match but I can see why they added it as it was the kickoff to their rivalry. But Shanghai 06 was such a high quality match I'm shocked to hear anyone say that
@@slamandjam2 I mean, Shanghai 2006 had a very high level, but it was only a two sets match. WTF 2010 also had a high level and more drama, since it was the first time Nadal was one match away from winning his first WTF title and he pushed Federer to a third set, but I guess it's up to anyone, both are good matches.
In all the years that Nadal was king of clay, Federer was the second best on the surface. It is frightening to think what might have been if Nadal had not appeared on the scene; Federer would have had more than 30 grand slam titles to his name!!!
@@Fraudkovic that's right. but the video is about the 2 of the Big 3. so my comments were about them. also, in terms of Wimbledon, if Federer were not around, Nadal would have had perhaps at least two more titles there. still the fact that both have 42 slams between them, not counting the 21 that Djokovic has, is truly astonishing...
Till 2017, Fed was scared of Rafa. After 17, seismic shift in power. I think the winning record is 5- 1, Fed's only loss was at Roland garros last year, which is a feat in itself. First RG in over 4 years, made to semis only lost against Rafa.
No matter what anyone says, if you see this you cant ever say that djokovic is the goat. This level of greatness that roger and nadal reached at their primes, djokovis has never come any close to that level. If roger or nadal didnt exist the other one with have had at least 30 grand slams they are just so extremely good compared to the other proffessional tennis world.
@@sunflowersofinferno7904 i did and he sure is one of the greatest of all time but i think he has so many slams, because that he is prime is after the others. What causes that he has no competition what so ever
@@svenhoevenaars8109 Djokovic and Nadal are of the same age and they faced each other in their absolute primes. Federer won most of his slams in the weak era beating lightweights like Roddick, Safin and Baghdatis while losing to a teenage Nadal. The argument goes both ways.
@@sunflowersofinferno7904 Roddick and Safin lightweights. Hilarious. Same old Weak Era bullshit regurgitated on every single tennis video. It's weird how many 'fans' of either Rafa or Novak actually hate the sport.
Perhaps but you have to also take into account that Nadal's knees were much healthier back then and also the fact that the bigger racket reduced his forehand accuracy
Gabriel Vergara San Martín no, I don’t agree. There is a limit of the physics. The spin window is simply too small on 90inch racket. Fed struggled more than 2 year continuous loss against nadal between 12 to 14. After he switched the racket in 14, the ratio to nadal was 7:1. Apparently he struggled a bit with Murray as well, after switch he had 5:0.
Sanat Gandhi well, if you ever played with the babolat rpm blast string yourself you will know how much control that string has when use with top spin forehand.
Tennis ability and IQ incredible from both and Federer perhaps more skilled in that regard, but mental strength and physiological ability edge goes to Nadal. And that really shows especially on clay or slower surfaces.
@@ignaciolopez-fu4mo takes too long, players have to bounce the ball 30 times before serving and go to the towel after every point, on top of that slowness, then u have to win 3 sets instead of 2.... makes me sleepy
That Hamburg 2008 final is a bit overlooked - strange match, which (along with the Monte Carlo 2008) final should have easily gone Fed's way. In Monte Carlo one month earlier Fed was leading with a break in the first set, and in the second it was 4-0 - he still managed to lose 5-7, 5-7. The final in Hamburg was even more spectacularly and inexplainably lost, Fed was absolutely beating the crap out of Nadal in the first set and led 5-1, then he just disintegrated. Nadal patiently waited for his errors and Fed instead winning in two sets lost in three. I don't want to take anything from Nadal, his 2008 RG campaing was just incredible, but the humiliating onesidedness of the final was in my opinion not only a consequence of Nadal' relentless consistency but also determined by Fed's memory of his mental implosion in those two finals
Because the gras season leading up to Wimbledon used to be two weeks long. You can't have an ATP 1000 a week after a Slam or a week before a Slam. Even now that there's three weeks, it would be quite pointless to shove a random new tournament that players would have to play between two very important slams. Lots of players skip grass events prior to Wimbledon.
Rafa thrives on feeling hes the underdog even if hes not. Thats why you always hear him or uncle Toni always say Federer is the GOAT. It may bring him the highest total of GS in the end due to handling pressure better. But his lack of variety will always bring debate at to NADAL being the GOAT. to be fair Federer prefers thinking he is the GOAT to play his best. Ok i will shut up now and enjoy the tennis.
Still as far as raising the actual popularity of the sport, its still mostly been fedal. Nole is GREAT champion. A legend. 17 slams during fedal? Comon, some credit. BUT... Fedal are so much prettier to watch. That's why (sorry Nole) they will always be the most popular. Slavic people obviously support Nole. But the world enjoys the "eye candy" of Fedal matches :) If you combine ALL matches between the THREE, I cant prove it, but I bet 90% of the Winners (shots), are from Fedal. Like goals in football (soccer), TO ME, I watch tennis for its beauty. Not to just support a winning player. Shrug. *I respect Nole's greatness* But I always experience greater pleasure with the "other two guys" hehe.
Great players make you hit one more shot. Nadal makes you hit one more shot, gets himself back into the rally, turns defense into offense, and then makes you wonder what the hell just happened?
These 2 guys changed tennis in the late 00s to a whole new level
So many matches of the highest caliber and going to the absolute wire. The best rivalry in terms of shot making and contrast of styles.
