Nadal was a beast on hard courts in 2013.
Good times that’s for sure!
@Sacred Atheist With a weak draw.
Yes he was unbeaten 27 matches until the Beijing final winning Indian Wells Montreal Cincinnati and the Us Open
Sacred Atheist Im from the future, Nadal the champ for uso19
@@masters.1000 Yeah, because Cilic and Berretini (being inside the top 10 as we speak) are weak draws right? 🤦🏽♂️
I really appreciate how much nadal tried to be better on grass and hardcourt. He is someone who tried his best and pushed himself despite a weaker serve and injuries. Plus noone has ever made you cheer so hard!!!
حقا لو كان لديه إرسال قوي لحصد الاخضر واليابس
That's why ppl love him. Watching him play is like you are fighting in a JUNGLE with him. It's always so exciting..
nadal plays better on us open than novak because us open was the slowest besides RG before 2020 period. So naturally nadal thrives well on slow hc's, but still novak put up a valiant fight
unless you cheer for djokovic
@@aswinsrikanth408 Not in the 4th set. He gave up. Not the first time he's done that.
People forget that Nadal is the only player of the big 3 that has multiple slam wins on Grass, Hard, and Clay. Neither Novak or Roger have been able to achieve this.
Rafa is also the only player of the big 3 that has a single win in Australian Open
Edit : no longer true since AO 2022
@@Charles-oe6vl The point is surfaces, not specific tournaments. Rafa has multiple slams on hard surface, Roger and Novak don't. He's beaten Novak on hard twice in the finals, and beat Roger on grass in the finals, but neither Novak or Roger have beaten let alone take Rafa to 5 sets in RG finals.
@@breakaway2x Rafa dominates on Clay. Novak on hard and Roger on grass. Each GOAT has their dominant surface in terms of GS. You're completely wrong with saying Nadal domainates on ALL surfacse in GS. French Open wins count for pretty much half of his GS titles, alongside only a single Australian open, two WImbledons, and 4 US opens. I dont think you understand the meaning of the word "dominate". In order for Nadal to dominate in GS on ALL surfaces, he would have to surpass Novak in hard court GS wins, in which Novak has 7 Aus. Opens, 3 US. Then beat Federer in WImbledons, in which Fed has 8.
@@nihilus1626 Did he said Nadal dominates on ALL sutfaces in GS? I just saw he said Rafa achieved multiple GS on clay , grass and hard , wich neither Novak and Roger did that.
Winning the Men´s Single French Open is the hardest and most physically demanding task to ever achieve in tennis. Every great player says and agrees to that.
@@Nycku007 ur correct but that's the thing, nafal doesn't have multiple slam wins on every surface. Having one Australian open is not "multiple" last I checked
This period of Nadal is really difficult to beat, the way he spins the ball, his speed to cover the court and attack
So , today he decides to spin it less or what?
@@martinkirkovactually yes! due to his age and injuries, he eventually became less athletic and speedy. to make points shorter he decided to flatten out his shots more during his renaissance in 2017. It meant that he generally kept up with the rest of the tour but he wouldn’t reach the peaks he once did.
@@martinkirkov Rafa's ground strokes are still alive but one thing that he misses today is his court speed. he has tweaked his overall game to compensate for this loss but nothing much can be done against players like Roger and Novak
Where he has to play defense to offense and passing shots so frequently, which he was able to do at the peak of his powers.
Yup....only one man matched him really.....Novak.
Rafa played him absolutely perfect this match, he hit deep slices, flat ground strokes, back Djokovic up, so he couldn’t take it early, and when Djokovic tried to take the backhand early Nadal hit straight down the line.
and in AO 2022
in the age of 36
He won for the second time and got his 21st gs
He isnt just The King of clay, He is THE GOAT
Rafael Nadal THE GOAT
just your opinion ... and we all know what opinions are worth ...
@@georgeway2092 nah, facts ^^ there are tons of evidence that solidifies nadal as the greatest!
Novak has most of all the records he only does not have the most majors but as of today he has 21 slams and is getting closer and closer to Nadal's 22 being one year younger. And also Novak has had the hardest path to his grand slams out of all the big 3
Nadal is the king of tennis despite all the injuries he has and has had throughout his tennis career due to the implausible mentality that has led him to be one of the most competitive athletes in the history of the sport. I am truly convinced that he will be the tennis player with the highest number of grand slams and that history will remember him as the greatest tennis player of all time.
Indeed ! Undisputed Goat 🐐
Nadal also won the Olympic gold medal on hardcourt in 2008
I was at this match. Just an incredible experience. Thank you Rafa and Novak!
2:04:07 The most decisive moment of the match and demonstrating the mental strength of Nadal.
well spotted. that was the game changer. Rafa fought back from 40 love as he always does ^^
Thx sir i came here just to see that part of the match
Very true. I would also add that Djokovic not going up a double break in that set was huge as well. Djokovic's level clearly dropped after 2011 and he was not at a good mental state at the time. When Nole is at his best, he has proven to be better than Nadal's best---Wimby 18, AO 12, AO 19, USO 11, etc.
@@jacobschmidt2709 Nah
@@jacobschmidt2709 Lol. Your ego need for Djokovic to be perceived as better is hilariously revealing of nothing but your own insecurity and irrationality. Rafa at his absolute best beats Djoker, especially on clay. Djoker at his absolute best beats Rafa, especially on hard courts. Djoker is phenomenal but has benefitted from way longer periods of remaining at/close to peak form thanks to being injury free. Rafa's incredible career stats despite having to endlessly battle back from injury put him in a class of his own.
Nadal stared into the abyss at 2:03:40 and survived. This was absolutely incredible
True only true fans will realise that that was the most crucial part of the match. The whole momentum of the match rested on those few points, after that game Novak never came back.
He started into the abyss and smiled
Nadal on hard courts in 2013 was the best he's ever played, more agressive style and with the same confidence and physical ability as previous years meant he could beat anyone on his prime. He has never played as brilliantly/agressive on hard courts again since then.
He beat Djokovic on his prime twice (and before anyone says something dumb, yes Djokovic was on his prime in 2013). Two of the greatest matches Djokovic's ever played and I've ever seen in tennis were in 2013 vs Wawrinka in AO and Del Potro in Shanghai (obviously both these legends had a lot to do with the matches being so memorable).
This match was the culmination of an insane run where I think he forced himself to play a style that was not natural to him cause he realised it was pretty much the only way to beat Djokovic on hard courts. It was a truly impressive transformation to watch.
Prime Novak is 2013, not 2010.
@@andrejmitrovic4958 Nah, Nole was in his physical prime in 2010 (23 at the time) and had won a major (AO 2008), beat Federer in the USO semis that year and before the final, had beaten Nadal in their 3 previous HC meetings. Nadal was clearly the underdog there but was in form, served brilliantly and won fair and square.
Nope, best Nadal ever was, was USOpen 2010. That form of Nadal is the single best tennis player ever.
He's never beaten him on hard courts since so it's a 1 off
If he can't back it up or longevity then it's pointless especially given since he's never defended us aus or wimbledon
@@andrejmitrovic4958no 2011
Only haters call him claydal.. ik they wish he would just go way but he won't. For me it's not how many titles he's won off clay in a grandslam. It's how many times he's given himself the opportunity to win the grand prize. He's made it to 5 Wimbledon finals, 5 US Open finals & 6 AUS Open finals 👏🏾 👌🏾 BUT YET haters wanna call him a clay specialist
He only lost because of Novak, or Federer....the same goes for the other two.
This was the last time Claydal took A SINGLE SET off Novak on hardcourts! LOL.. also, the last time he beat Novak off clay (and even there he lost to Novak).. great clay player, no doubt.
@@mambi74 If we are talking about hard courts, only Djokovic (14), Federer (11) and Sampras (7) won more GS than Nadal. Nadal is maybe the 3th best hard courter ever because he had to compete with the two best hard court tennis players in history and despite this he won 6 GS.
@@mambi74 Nadal prime ended in 2014. Of course he didnt beat Novak after that, still great to re-live this moment!
One of the best performance of Rafa on hard court.
Are we gonna ever see this level of Nadal again on hard courts? The movement and forehand was incredible!
Very hard because of the age and injuries. Here and in US 2010 he was at an astonishing level! I believe he may win Grand Slams in hard courts like this Australian Open but he will not be above the level of play he showcased in 2010 and 2013. He was 25 and 28 then. That was his prime.
Your wish has come true today.... Vamos rafa🌹🌹
@@RS-eo6hu I wouldn't say we saw the same level of physical ability or ball striking, but we saw a higher level of mental ability and grit. Coming back from 2 sets to love in a grand slam record breaking final is just mid blowing. And to do that against the best hard court player in the world at the moment, there are no words. He is the GOAT, for now
Yes. Australian Open 2022.
Yes Acapulco 2022
Watching this... and thinking about how both of them still can dominate today's ATP even with their abilities much diminished (reduced foot speed, power etc)... Really shows how big the gulf between the Big 3 and the rest of the field is.
You are absolutely on point, the difference between these 3 (maybe 2 now) and the others is HUGE. They're GOATs and the rest are mere mortals ;)
its something that we wont see again in our lifetime. 3 guys that came in the same era and just dominated tennis the way they have and still do. i just cant get enough of it!
No one has wanted 2 answer that issue; it feels like the Gap has increased the opportunities 4 the Big 3 to grab Slams in bunches; figuratively if not literally; all 3 would do well in against the Lendl, Wilander, Becker, Edberg, Cash, McEnroe era & the Agassi, Sampras, Courier & Rafter period; u toss those guys in w/ the new racket technology, better diet, etc, and things become very interesting; BECKER asked the QUESTION: where's the 3rd guy, or 2 add to that, the 4th , 5th, 6th guy, the new Nadal, Fed, or Novak; seems like there's no 1 on the
horizon, but maybe that's when it happens; when u least expect it like Wilander, Becker, and Sampras, but it seems unlikely it'll be a Teen phenom making immediate Grand Slam impact; what's your guess on who b4 or after the Big 3 retire can make something happen, keeping in mind Nadal, & Novak aren't hanging it up anytime soon: Roger will probably Retire 1st
They hit the ball just as hard if not harder in today's game. They kept improving even if they are not at their physical prime.
Nadal Is My Champion! Rafa never takes his victory for granted. He always looks like a boy winning his very first tournament let alone another Grand Slam title. Yeah, that is Nadal.
It is often overlooked that Nadal actually has the second highest number of US Open champion titles (4) among current players, only after Federer (5).
could had 5, if he played 2020 US open he was in great form in that year.
Indeed... And I predict he will tie Fed when he wins 2022 US Open
@@ishurockstar Great form in 2020. Are you kidding me 🤣🤣🤣. He lost AO in QF and Rome in SF. He only won RG in October
@@RFazor lol
His brilliance is his kindness, his benevolence the way he seems to spread happiness @ himself making it contagious + his 1 of a kind athleticism
2:06:03 seeing nadal come back from 0-40 at such a decisive moment uncle toni is like "yeep thats the mental giant i helped create"
RudG RudG Djokovic made the mistake not to slam down those slice backhands at 15-40.
@@fredrikdahlin7869 excuses
Other player might surrender at 0-40. But Nadal would not
That 200 kph ace at 30-40, 4-4 in the 3rd to save 3/3 break points and basically the set and the championship was one of the most clutch serves of Rafa's career.
@@mainemceachern1521 No doubt about that. Djokovic, however, returned the favor in FO 2015 quarters, Wimby 2018 semis, AO 19 finals and FO 21 semis. The pendulum has clearly shifted since then.
One of the all-time great Nadal performances. And when these guys peaked at the same time they produced some of the greatest matches in history, pushing each other to the limit with incredible movement, defence, offence, mental strength, will to win ... So many long points each lost they would've won far earlier against anyone else ...
If the other two didn't exist, the one left would have 50 Grand slams.
@@johngalt6838only novak would have 50 or more rafa has made 30 slams all up at best he wins 28 or 29 outside of that his injuries are a part of his crucifying his body to win
@@achillesviolaris1053 Oh....if any of them were not in the picture the other ones would have more majors. They are all top of the crop trading blows.
@@achillesviolaris1053 All those losses to Novak in finals would have been his. Same for Roger.
@@johngalt6838 That's true, but imo they would be much lesser players even tho their slam count is higher. They needed each other to keep raising the bar.. I'd say Djokovic, needed Nadal more since he was the chaser. Without Nadal and Federer, you wouldn't see the Djokovic you see today. Without Djokovic, I'd say Nadal may still have had a similar trajectory (although Djokovic did make him improve)
The clay specialist beating the hard court specialist in a major final… on hard court. Nadal forever.
It is funny that, at his beginning years, Nadal did not like very much the US Open, with the court so fast that maybe he never thought to win there someday. He loved RG and, specially Wimbledon, and aways felt very comfortable playing in Melbourne. But years passed and Nadal began to love that court and, which I think is a key factor, he began lo love all the noises, the passion and the intensity of the new yorkers. Nothing is more energetic for someone with the stamina and intensity of Nadal than playing in that incredible court, in the City that never sleeps...
why loved wimbledon but not USO? wimbledon is faster (at least used to be...) than the USO, no?
@@jakehuang3545 Wimbledon changed the type of grass 20 years ago. The surface was extremely fast and the games were very boring. Nowadays Wimbnledon surface is even slower than Roland Garros
@@carlossimancas9867 Yes but why would he be preferring Wimbledon (fast) to USO (slow-medium)? Also kinda weird that he would make it to finals of FO & Wimb 04-08 (slowest & fastest) but get knock out in early rounds at AO & USO by cats like Hewitt, Roddick, and Blake (BLAKE?!?)
@@jakehuang3545 Wimbledon is the cathedral of tennis. Anyone would love to win there... Just told you that playing in Wmb was easier for Rafa, cause the surface was not as fast as in the US Open. And other thing is that since 2004 to 2009 Nadal used to reach his peak of form in spring (May and June), not in September. But he changed all that since 2010, and his body began to adapt to play in NY reaching another physical peak in early September
The king of clay. Rafa is the ultimate representation of hard work, determination, willpower and to never say die
Really hope Rafa comes back
The king of Tennis.
Nadal is the king of clay like federer is the king of grass or novak the king of hc... the difference is that clay is the most complex hence Nadal is the greatest
Watching this now as a 4 time US open champ, Rafa is! And they said he was just a clay player. Lol
Cwm368 7 majors outside favourite surface
12 for roger
6 Novak I believe
He is very comfortable with the ball bounce on hard courts, and his footwork does the rest.
Doxa Addow feds favourite surface is a actually indoor hard
Djokovic is the best all court players though tbf he has many hard court titles and 5 Wimbledon’s along with 9 clay masters and 5 wtf indoors and 4 paris titles.
@@LordCaedus-bl7wi he's the best. No doubt

Si, por supuesto 💪💪
Well, Novak is the GOAT so......
That neutralizing backhand slice and the fearless forehand down the line are very important for Rafa to beat Novak . Vamos 💪
Nadal in his prime was ruthless. Was expecting this form of his (2013) against Djokovic this AUS Open 2019. But sad it was a one-sided match.
Ruthless enough to get straight setted by someone like Darcis in the first round of Wimbledon
@@thomasbrunkle8389 Players do go through bad patches,nobody does well all the time.In his prime he beat Federer in the same tournament
Nah,2013 rafa used more topspin,since Moya came he has reduced his topspin and he is hitting flatter shots and not trying to extend rallies all that long.Its working well against other guys,just not against Fed and Novak.
@Feed me a hammer and I will crap out nails. Rafa wasn't as Ruthless in AO 2019 as in 2013.....are u crazy???? RAFA IS A PLAYER THAT SUFFERS ON HARD COURTS WITH HIS BACKHAND.....IN AO FINAL HIS BACKHAND WAS TOO BAD AND EVEN HIS FOREHAND WASN'T EFFECTIVE.....IN 2013 HE DOESN'T MAKE TOO MANY UNFORCED ERRORS WITH HIS BACKHAND.....MUCH MORE CONFIDENT WITH HIS GROUNDSROKES......IN THAT MATCH WE HAVE SEEN THAT IF RAFAS BACKHAND WORKS HE HAS NO WEAKNESSES.....
Feed me a hammer and I will crap out nails. Ahahahaha good joke
Thank you US Open for posting these great matches!! (US Open 2013 final, Us Open 2015 final)
2:03:59 0-40 I just came here to watch this.
The 3rd set is defining set, and the 9th game of that set is where the championship was won. 2:04:09, Rafa crushed Djokovic's spirit in saving that 3 break points.
Not necessarily, but great comment! 👍🏼
The soundrecording at the US Open always makes it seem like every single shot is an absolute howitzer
Nadal is my favorite tennis player/I like his attitude > WIN OR LOST he always shows humility and respect 🤝

Amazing battle. Thank you for sharing!
Vamos Rafa!
See, this is what I've been saying quite often. Nadal's game is most effective when he makes frequent use of his backhands, in conjunction with his forehand (which is his primary weapon). And that is especially true when he is adding his backhand slice in the mix, and is also on point with his serving. When he plays that way, he is very difficult to beat, especially in GS matches.
This is what happened in Nadal's win over Medvedev in the AO2022 Final
2:15:10 that is one of the most terrifying Nadal's forehands i've ever seen. I get goosebumps everytime I watch it.
2013 was hands down the best year Rafa ever had on Hard Court tournaments! Complete domination! 👍🏻 🎾👌🏻.
This made me appreciate both players much more. Watched it live in 2013 and learnt so much more watching it again. I’m a Rafa fan but Novak’s technique, balance and footwork is astonishing.
Most valuable victory in Rafa's career. Beat Novak in hard court grand slam at his best... Amazing work for Nadal
novak was not in his best...even murray dominate 1 months before in Wimbledon in straight sets
@@travisbickle5279Novak is only at his best when he wins ? So fed and Djokovic beat injured /not at his best Nadal? Accept that Djokovic couldn't have done anything to stop this Nadal.
@@palaknagori6255 ok...andy murray is for you with djokovic the same level....you say that with you comment..please shut up....
@@travisbickle5279 The difference between their levels in very very small. An inspired Murray can beat Djokovic. Even in 2015-2016 Murray was able to take sets off Djokovic. While Murray is indeed dominated by the big 3 at slams, tennis is a game of small margins, few important points win the game and usually Murray isn't able to raise his game on those points. Also if playing a grand slam final on his best surface doesn't motivate Djokovic, then I don't know how he won those 15 majors. It is impossible to play at your highest peak level every match but you have only yourself to blame. While I do accept peak Djokovic has certain subtle advantages over peak Nadal on hard, he too can lose and is not unbeatable.
palak nagori great comment finally someone
The reason why this meant so much to Nadal was not only because it was his comeback from injury, but because he had lost to Nadal in 7 consecutive games and finals from 2011 to 2012. Winning this finals finally vanquished any doubts he had about beating Djokovic again
WELL NADAL HAS NOT BEATEN DJOKOVIC EVER SINCE OUTSIDE CLAY! 10 YEARS OF LOSING AND AVOIDING DJOKOVIC HAHHAHA

The greatest rivaly in sports history
Rafael Nadal is a professional tennis player. He made history in tennis championships.
He's an idle for those off and on the court. Tennis has never been so blessed amazing talent.
Thank you for the match! For me the best final of GS that Nadal has played on hard courts and one of the most important victories of his career along with the final of Wimbledon 2008 and Australia 2009 against Federer.
The psychology he had in this final and his right (drive), was from another planet in this final. That third set where he was down 2-0, 3-1 and 0-40 in the 4 same is to highlight; because that's where the match was decided. In the fourth set Djokovic surrenders and the fatigue of the semifinal against Wawrinka took its toll ...
the last two games of the 3rd set perfectly showed the world why Rafa is the best player in the world
I can't but laugh when commentarist says after Nadal wins 3rd set, that "even his girlfriend can't believe how lucky he is by winning the set". Lucky?...¿Estamos locos o que?
almudena 8 -> commentator got confused, he means: ´she can’t believe how lucky she is to be with that guy’ hahahahaha 😂

There are commentators who you enjoy listening to during matches. This lot's not one of them.

Great observation
You know the commentators are bad when half their conversations are about the wind.
que jugador mas inrespetuoso eres el mejor nada ni siquiera conocia sl tio este que mal juega bravo por nadal
I guess Wimbledon '08 will always be the top, but for me this is Rafa's next-best Slam. Beating Djokovic in a hard court final, after really struggling againt him on that surface for the previous two years, and doing it going away after a tight first couple sets, makes this his best hardcourt Slam result imo. History will show Novak largely dominated their hard court matchups, but getting two US Open final wins against him is a very big deal.
Rafa Nadal is one of kind amazing I'm one of you're million fans
2010 US Open Final? He played like a superhero in that tournament...dropped just one set throughout and that too was in the final against Novak.

As a Rafan, one of my Top 3 favorite tennis matches. Rafa, in this 2013 beast mode, can beat any other player, including Djokovic or Federer, on a hardcourt.
