I really wanted to tell the story of the Big Three in a documentary style. Obviously there were tough choices to make, when it came to the matches I wanted to include. Here are some points to explain: - I focused on their Grand Slam battles, because otherwise there simply would have been too many matches to include and I would have had to rush through all of them - The "Fedal" storyline is not as prominently featured in this video, as I already did a piece about them earlier - I divided the video in seven phases, to give you a better oversight about the different chapters of this Trivalry 00:00 Intro 02:33 Phase 1: Fedal dominate 10:23 Phase 2: Rise of the Djoker 21:47 Phase 3: Rafas Comeback 28:37 Phase 4: The Nole Slam 33:05 Phase 5: The return of Fedal 36:19 Phase 6: The Empire strikes back 39:49 Phase 7: The final act begins 46:26 Outro
I've had a similar idea in mind, but I'm guessing it would also be a very different approach, IF I ever get to it (which I'm doubtful of, unfortunately). I look very forward to watching yours!
Thanks! Don't get me wrong, Rafa is my guy. But there is simply no point in denying the greatness of the other two. That would be simply stupid. Let's just admire them as long as we have them. With all the pain and joy which come along!
@@rafanatic22 I agree. I’m a huge Djokovic fan but I also really enjoy watching the other two. All three play unfathomable tennis, it’s a shame many fans can’t see this fact.
I really deep down think Djokovic is gonna end up the greatest ever but he is the kind of guy that doesn’t need any support whatsoever. Supporting Djokovic is like supporting a tournament being routine, now at the end when he is holding the trophy at the end most likely I respect the Hell out of him and really like his personality as well. There is an inevitability about Djokovic’s greatness I believe early struggles has essentially killed his ability to feel any pressure. Now when he has the most slams I just hope people do not forget how special all the Champions are because you cannot have one without the others and they each bring so much to the sport. Also as of Wimbledon 2021 I wouldn’t count out Nadal to come back and put up some more strong years if Fed did at 37 I wouldn’t count out Rafa.
@@Walkman0007 no I don’t, I used rights music and rights footage. Besides all the algorithms of the rights holders find the footage automatically. You need to be very careful with that. Still, im not doing it for the money anyways :)
As a Djokovic fan I obviously would like to see him win the most slams, but as a tennis fan I kind of want to see them all finish with the same amount of slams. It would keep the debates alive for years and would make it to where you almost always have to talk about all 3 of them when discussing the greatest player ever.
@Avinash Anand I mean debates get toxic pretty much regardless of the topic (some people just have to make it personal or get petty to try and win the argument). I just think it would be a shame if 20 years from now only 1 of the 3 really gets talked about because he separated himself from the other 2 in the debate.
@Avinash Anand If either Nadal or Djokovic can put together a couple more dominant years and ends up with like 3-5 more slams than the others than they will have separated from the other two. Doesn't seem too likely that it will happen, but it's certainly not impossible.
@Avinash Anand tbf that was his 2nd match back and he said he doesnt care at all about his results leading up to wimby, he wont finish on 22 or 23 but his doha appearance actually seemed pretty impressive all things considered

No, it's not like that. Actually, after the comeback of 2017, Federer had no expectations what will happen from that point. He only wanted to play tennis as long as possible. If he really had set his sights at world no. 1, then it was very much achievable in 2017 itself had he not skipped the entire clay court season.Even if he would have reached at least a QF at the tournaments he entered, he would have become no.1 at Shanghai Rolex Masters itself as there was not a lot difference in points between Rafa and Roger. Also, he skipped Paris Rolex Masters, last ATP 1000 to keep himself in best possible shape World Tour Finals. But, he wanted to prolong his career as a tennis player and he did the same in 2018. The main reason for this longitivtiy is his very well-planned schedule. If really Rafa and Nole want to play as long as Fed, they will have to make some tough calls and give up a few tournaments. Rafa and Nole game style is very physical. But Roger's style of tennis is purely based on hitting winners using his hand skills. I would like to say it like this If Federer would have retired let's say in 2013, then both Rafa and Nole would have retired a couple years later. Please forgive me for saying anything wrong.
Absolutely - he has tried to maintain his records and wanted to play as long as NextGen becomes strong enough to beat Rafa - Nole. But those 2 are showing the NextGen and Roger what they are worth. 2 mental giants of the sport - Warriors!!! Vamoooosssss... Idemooooooooooo!!!!
@@TheMidnight2011 No. He doesn’t care abt d records anymore. Maybe he may want 1 Wimby. That’s all. He’s only playing becoz he enjoys it. 😃 That’s my perception.
@@TheMidnight2011 tbh, that's the Roger we all love. My only worry being he mustn't overexert himself. I mean, the fact that he chose to stay is the reason we've had classics like AO17, Wimbledon 2017, Wimbledon 2019 etc. It really doesn't matter if he loses or wins in those, what matters to me is that he was part of those historical matches.
What an unbelievable rivalry and truly an outstanding video! Bravo! We are so lucky to witness those three write history. I still can't watch the Wimbledon final of 2019. It hurts too much.
I have mostly gotten over Wimbledon 2019 because Federer is the only player who could even challenge Djokovic. Anyone else would have had a straight set beatdown coming to them.
If Andy Murray played in any other era, he would have been easily a 10 time Grand Slam winner, but he was unfortunate that he came up against the greatest 3 players of all time. He managed to win 3 Grand Slams which is amazing, but he never won Aus Open or French simply because they were all tied up by the big 3.
Yes you're right. Murray greatness is tested and thwarted by these three. He couldn't break through them. If he is part of this new gen I think he can easily win grandslam and close this chapter of the big three.
Andy would now easly take 15 slams in this period and be undisputed No1, for many years Zverev Thiem Medvedev are good but but not even close to Andy's game in his prime. His bad luck was that BIG3 were at their prime too.
@@HBK492 again showed he is above other, but different league compare to other three, other three also have to face him and other two, but them come at top. Lucky? No, 1 or 2 time is lucky maybe, but their consistency prove the difference.
We are so truly blessed to have been able to live in the same era as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. They would have utterly crushed and dominated tennis had they competed without each other, but they just happened to be competing around the same time, and we the fans appreciate that. Not only that, but they are truly amazing and gentle human beings, each one with their own different trademarks and personalities. We all have our favourites but I feel that we should appreciate this amazing era since I don't know if we are ever going to witness something as special as this. To me, this must be the rivalry of the century, followed closely by Messi-Ronaldo. This the big 3 era!
This has to be THE best Fedalovic Tribute I've seen on RUclips to date. Bravo, well done! All you're missing is Djokovic's win at the French Open this year. You could probably repost this clip over and over again, I think the big 3 all have at least a slam or two left in them
I m a Rafa fan but I have learnt how to love these three gentleman.... We all should be happy to see the big 3 rivalary and yeah all of them are the GOAT.... Thank you Big 3
@@norm-bb3bb I know how you feel because that is the way I feel about Federer. I wonder how many less victories Federer would have if the fans and the Media were against him.
@@toms9864 Well, Djokovic needs to feel like a victim to fuel his confidence, we saw what happened at USA in 2021 when the crowd was with him, the guy loves to play the victim card, I dislike him even more now.
@@norm-bb3bb I am sure Djokovic cares how you feel. You Federer fans are hard to take. However, I am enjoying your misery knowing that Federer only has 20 grand slams and Djokovic has 22 and is growing.
@@natoskull2 You know nothing. Nadal outhitted him in that fifth set, almost 30 winners just there. Even if we count the net point that Novak lost (which he should've by rules), he still won the next point to make it 40-40, but still lost the game.
@@natoskull2 far from a robbery just one of the greatest clay matches ever. Two 5 setters in 16 years I mean cmon........ Nadal is like 125-2 in 5 setters on clay in his lifetime. No one male or female compares anywhere with that

@@natoskull2 this thing happens almost to every player. Are you really claiming he lost this game because he was robbed?? By one point??? When in this set he was almost bageled? Good thing he got one stick instead? You’ve got to be kidding?! Why do you always find excuses when Djoko looses? You should accept defeats graciously just like Djoko if you are his fan.
I'm a die hard Novak's fan... Bt "Phase V The return of FEDAL" (33:06) this part in this video it's truly emosonal🥺... and this video realy made my day special.. great Job... Thank you..♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful video. Hope this rivalry would last another decade. Tennis will feel sort of empty when these three are gone. As a Djokovic and tennis fan, thanks for sharing.
This is hands down the greatest video I have ever seen. Thank you for documenting their path and bringing us your stories. The soundtrack is simply awesome. Vamos Rafa!

Fantastic video! :) We have been so privileged and spoilt to witness these 3 legends over the last 15-20 years, witnessing all of their peaks, falls and comebacks from injuries. This trivalry has produced 146 matches and there have been some absolute epics in the slams (2007 Wim F, 2008 Wim F, 2009 AO F, 2010 USO SF, 2011 RG SF, 2011 USO SF, 2012 AO F, 2013 RG SF, 2017 AO F, 2018 Wim SF, 2019 Wim F). Just want to continue enjoying watching the Big 3 play until the day they all decide to hang up the racquet for good.
This is an amazing piece of work by Rafanatic20. I kindly say, Thank You. As a Nadal fan, this is hard to watch. Nadal has had so much bad luck at the Australian Open. As we all know, he lost in the semi-final, of The French Open 2021, to Novak. That loss was excruciatingly painful to endure. Time keeps ticking. The world keeps turning. We simply move on. Nadal wouldn't be Nadal if he let that loss absorb him. To Roger, Novak and Rafael - you are all Greats of tennis. Whomever ends up with the most Grand Slam titles will be the best BUT the other two will always be mentioned in close proximity. The sun is starting to set and they will be retired but not forgotten. We have all been so lucky to be spectators during this time.
I think if someone watch the same 50 minute video more than 5 times, it means that you did a great job Thanks for this piece of art and wish you all the best
This is such a beautiful peace of art. I'm a diehard Novak fan and I obviously want him to go beyond 20 slams but it will be so great and like so unique for tennis if these three retire together at equal slams and just leave the GOAT debate unsolved.
Tennis will never be the same. We are extremely privileged to have had these three, but yeah, I will literally never be able to digest Fed's 2019 loss at Wimbledon. That nauseous feeling when you think about a bad break-up? That is what I feel every time.
Pls don’t feel that way! In the eyes of many Fedal’s fans, Roger has done the best he could at 38, which was 6 yrs older than Novak. Simply legendary!!!
This video made me stop caring about who the goat is, all i want is to watch them for as long as possible. The rivalries the matches theyve played, the accomplishments theyve made i just dont want it to end
So gratful for such a big work. I do not know if only one of these 3 guys would have had the same results if the 2 others didn't be there, but they made us live beautiful emotions. I hope we will live on it again so that you can make beautiful videos.
this entire Video is amazing. best video i have ever watched. i love how nadal says Novaks 2011 season will never be repeated, and yet here Novak is in 2021 and he has the potential to surpass both his 2011 and 2015 seasons, im just praying he stays injury free. Novak is the GOAT for me!
Of all the tennis videos I’ve watched on RUclips, this is probably the best one I’ve ever seen. Didn’t fast forward once during these 50 mins. Amazing to see a «Nadal-channel» giving equal praise to all three players, and just appreciating the tennis they’ve given us. Thank you, and well done! 👏🏼
Wow, thank you so much for your great feedback., I already said that even though I am a HUGE fan of Rafa and want him to be the one with the most slams, there is no point in denying the greatness of the other two. Anyone who does that, is simply a hater and blind to greatness.
Rafanatic20 Exactly! Having bakcground from Balkan, me and my family have been following Djokovic ever since he came on the stage, and can’t really remember the last tournament we didn’t follow him. Yet, if it wasn’t for Federer and Nadal, we probably wouldn’t have followed him as much as we’ve been lucky enough to have these three play in the same era and produce so many legendary matches. No doubt that tennis have never been at a higher leven, and will drop for several years to come when they’re done unfortunately.
@@ivordundic6095 And I understand perfectly why you support him, as he is your local hero and has done so much for the prestige of the region. I personally don't like him, but that should not be a reason to disrespect his unbelievable achievements. It's nice to see that many different fans come together at my videos, but still get along and discuss in a polite way. Most of them anyways :D
Rafanatic20 Hehe, well you’re one of many, if not everyone, who doesn’t like him unless you’re a Djokovic-fan😅 which makes his success and victories so much better and more impressive for him and us who follow him, when he beats his opponent in the finals, typically Federer/Nadal, as they are ones who always get to the finals and the thousands of very biased fans booing and vigourously cheering for Fedal. And yes, it’s amazing to see a channel where fans actually unite more. Makes us appreciate these three giants before they all are done very soon.
This was an absolutely spectacular video. Thanks for this :) Love how you captured the essence of all the big 3, and how you remained soo unbiased, despite being a Nadal fan. I mean, this video was so neutral, I could never keep my biases aside. Kudos!
Just Amazing Work!! Covered almost 90-95% of their rivalries in Grand Slams and Most of The Masters 1000s But Their epic Encounters in World Tour Finals over years are also a Thing of Beauty!!!
Thanks. I know, but I had to make a stop somewhere. Like I said, I had to concentrate on the GS-battles, otherwise this would have been a 2 hour video :D
Such a beautiful composed video! Thank you for all the work! And regardless of who's gonna be the one - maybe even needless to say - what a treat this has been for past 15 years! What a treat for all of us.
@@TML0677 Just make jim an extra! I would loose interest if they spent meaningful time on him when i just want to see and hear from big 3. He'd be an extra with a few line's and wawrinka would be extra number 2
I cannot tell you how many times I've been here to watch this, simply the best vid on the big 3. Yes there's many great ones on each of them but nothing like this that captures the journey they have given us. Top job brother
:::loud applause::: What a fantastic video. Perfect, and I mean, PERFECT introduction of the rise of Djoker with Ready or Not. Haven't really smiled much recently when it comes to Djoker (relax, Idemo Bros. I am not bitter, just bored), but I smiled all the way through that segment. Seeing the delight on his face after all those tournament wins in 2011, especially Wimbledon, is really something.
As a die hard Djokovic fan I want to thank you Rafanatic20 (obviously Nadal fan :)) for such a great video I enjoyed to watch very much. Thank you for being as unbiased and impartial as possible here. Great job, respect!
Thank you Darina! It means a lot coming from a Djokovic-Fan. There is simply no point in denying the greatness of Djokovic, so why would I "ruin" the video in cutting out his triumphs. I wanted to tell the whole story. And the downs make the ups so much more worth it :)
Im realy happy to see that we have channel where all fans of big 3 can talk about their heroes with respect. Thank you bro!❤ Ther is no man on earth to say that dont like Federers play, or Nadals spirit, or Novaks toughness. They all have something great. We are realy hapy to have such a good heroes to watch uppon. They are all great human beings, great people with amnners, gentlmens and im realy thankfull.
Beautiful job, thank you so much! Rafa owns my heart but gotta admire the Other Two as well. What an era of tennis! No one is going to take the Big Three down except the one undefeated all time champion Father Time - and they're giving him a run for his money! Long live the Big Three!
21:33 Rolland Garros vs. year-end no.1. Jim Courier says it's greedy. I mean wtf. what is his problem with DJoker? Is he not liking him or what? He would never say this to Roger or Rafa. The way DJoker replied to him was a well-thought-out response. This guy knows how to speak.
@@rafanatic22 No really, the editing, the choices of shots, and above all, quite balanced too. Perhaps you should apply to work with BBC, they are the ones who make such perfect documentaries :).
We are celebrating 3 of the greatest players to ever grace the sport. Its really not necessarily to have a random dig at Nick, he may not ever achieve insane feats like this, personally I doubt anyone will but he is still a phenomenal player!
I watched tennis in the 90s and admired players like Steffi Graf, Monika Seles, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Boris Becker, Martina Hingis, etc. But tennis felt a hit boring and empty for a few years in the early 2000s and then came the rise of the big 3. Federer looked like he was going to be a tennis God, untouched by anyone. But Rafa came along, and then Novak, and they turned it into the most fascinating and amazing era in tennis history. It's hard to NOT pay attention to these 3. Tennis changed in 2011 and I think it changed again this year in 2021. How lucky are we to watch the 3 best players in the history of tennis all playing one another during the same era? Tennis won't be the same after they retire. The decade of the big 3, with Novak catching up over the last 10 years was amazing. What will happen the next few years now that it seems to be the domination of Novak? Great to watch.
I love everything about this video except 1: when the commentator mocked Nole for saying Roger/Rafa was beatable. It is Nole’s fierce self belief that helps him develop his mental toughness till today. I would really love to see the face of the commentator now that Nole has broken records after records, now being world #1 the longest, winning 20 slam titles, 36 masters 1000, 6 times year end #1 and better H2H records against the 2 guys
What a great video. Hopefully you will still edit it and make it longer until their careers end, with a question at the end, "are we ever going to witness era like this again?"
Three completely mad men. Mad - in the most admirable sense of that word. By the way, the production is completely fabulous. The angles, music, slowmos, it's WOW! Thanks for this movie, I'm just watching it for the 3rd time in last 7-8 months and I'll probably keep watching it every now and then.
WOW! 100k.. speechless!

I really wanted to tell the story of the Big Three in a documentary style. Obviously there were tough choices to make, when it came to the matches I wanted to include. Here are some points to explain:
- I focused on their Grand Slam battles, because otherwise there simply would have been too many matches to include and I would have had to rush through all of them
- The "Fedal" storyline is not as prominently featured in this video, as I already did a piece about them earlier
- I divided the video in seven phases, to give you a better oversight about the different chapters of this Trivalry

He managed to win 3 Grand Slams which is amazing, but he never won Aus Open or French simply because they were all tied up by the big 3.
Yes you're right. Murray greatness is tested and thwarted by these three. He couldn't break through them. If he is part of this new gen I think he can easily win grandslam and close this chapter of the big three.
To be honest, he would have much more. Murray was in 10 slam finals total, but he had a lot of semis he lost to big 3 members too.
Andy would now easly take 15 slams in this period and be undisputed No1, for many years Zverev Thiem Medvedev are good but but not even close to Andy's game in his prime. His bad luck was that BIG3 were at their prime too.
@@HBK492 again showed he is above other, but different league compare to other three, other three also have to face him and other two, but them come at top. Lucky? No, 1 or 2 time is lucky maybe, but their consistency prove the difference.
Murray won 2 Wimbledon and 1 USO. I wonder if he didn't have the crowd behind him if he would have won any of those finals.
We are so truly blessed to have been able to live in the same era as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. They would have utterly crushed and dominated tennis had they competed without each other, but they just happened to be competing around the same time, and we the fans appreciate that. Not only that, but they are truly amazing and gentle human beings, each one with their own different trademarks and personalities. We all have our favourites but I feel that we should appreciate this amazing era since I don't know if we are ever going to witness something as special as this. To me, this must be the rivalry of the century, followed closely by Messi-Ronaldo. This the big 3 era!
Big 4 era. Big 3 is in the context of overall majors.
This has to be THE best Fedalovic Tribute I've seen on RUclips to date. Bravo, well done! All you're missing is Djokovic's win at the French Open this year. You could probably repost this clip over and over again, I think the big 3 all have at least a slam or two left in them
Finally another piece of art for the collection, great video!
What an incredible video ! The best era in any sports of history !
Thanks Roger, Rafa and Novak. You are the GOATS !
No, only Novak is.
I think this video unites all three sides.
Bravo 👏
Thanks, Zoran!
I m a Rafa fan but I have learnt how to love these three gentleman.... We all should be happy to see the big 3 rivalary and yeah all of them are the GOAT.... Thank you Big 3
Totale agree all of them are goats and i'm a fed fan
Good for you, i respect Djokovic game but i can't admire him as a person, too arrogant
@@norm-bb3bb I know how you feel because that is the way I feel about Federer. I wonder how many less victories Federer would have if the fans and the Media were against him.
@@toms9864 Well, Djokovic needs to feel like a victim to fuel his confidence, we saw what happened at USA in 2021 when the crowd was with him, the guy loves to play the victim card, I dislike him even more now.
@@norm-bb3bb I am sure Djokovic cares how you feel. You Federer fans are hard to take. However, I am enjoying your misery knowing that Federer only has 20 grand slams and Djokovic has 22 and is growing.
The Roland Garros Match of 2013 is just epic.
Indeed, but sadly it was a robbery. 😕
@@natoskull2 You know nothing. Nadal outhitted him in that fifth set, almost 30 winners just there. Even if we count the net point that Novak lost (which he should've by rules), he still won the next point to make it 40-40, but still lost the game.
@@natoskull2 far from a robbery just one of the greatest clay matches ever. Two 5 setters in 16 years I mean cmon........ Nadal is like 125-2 in 5 setters on clay in his lifetime. No one male or female compares anywhere with that
@@radilev1996 I ain't talking about the net point, I'm talking about this: m.ruclips.net/video/kat7HyhoiR0/видео.html
Min. 9:39 that's where the robbery happens. 😉
@@natoskull2 this thing happens almost to every player. Are you really claiming he lost this game because he was robbed?? By one point??? When in this set he was almost bageled? Good thing he got one stick instead? You’ve got to be kidding?! Why do you always find excuses when Djoko looses? You should accept defeats graciously just like Djoko if you are his fan.
I'm a die hard Novak's fan... Bt "Phase V The return of FEDAL" (33:06) this part in this video it's truly emosonal🥺... and this video realy made my day special.. great Job... Thank you..♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful video. Hope this rivalry would last another decade. Tennis will feel sort of empty when these three are gone. As a Djokovic and tennis fan, thanks for sharing.
This is hands down the greatest video I have ever seen. Thank you for documenting their path and bringing us your stories. The soundtrack is simply awesome. Vamos Rafa!

They never stopped training and developing etc, they did their homework since day1
Fantastic video! :)
We have been so privileged and spoilt to witness these 3 legends over the last 15-20 years, witnessing all of their peaks, falls and comebacks from injuries. This trivalry has produced 146 matches and there have been some absolute epics in the slams (2007 Wim F, 2008 Wim F, 2009 AO F, 2010 USO SF, 2011 RG SF, 2011 USO SF, 2012 AO F, 2013 RG SF, 2017 AO F, 2018 Wim SF, 2019 Wim F).
Just want to continue enjoying watching the Big 3 play until the day they all decide to hang up the racquet for good.
Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer great player's in all time Tennis history 👍👍👍
This is an amazing piece of work by Rafanatic20. I kindly say, Thank You. As a Nadal fan, this is hard to watch. Nadal has had so much bad luck at the Australian Open. As we all know, he lost in the semi-final, of The French Open 2021, to Novak. That loss was excruciatingly painful to endure. Time keeps ticking. The world keeps turning. We simply move on. Nadal wouldn't be Nadal if he let that loss absorb him. To Roger, Novak and Rafael - you are all Greats of tennis. Whomever ends up with the most Grand Slam titles will be the best BUT the other two will always be mentioned in close proximity. The sun is starting to set and they will be retired but not forgotten. We have all been so lucky to be spectators during this time.
ㅠ
I've been Rafa's fan since I remember, but I've always loved see him playing against Roger and Novak, I respect all of them, They are legends.
I think if someone watch the same 50 minute video more than 5 times, it means that you did a great job
Thanks for this piece of art and wish you all the best
Mate, this is pure art!! Thank you for bringing back the memories and a walk down memory lane🥲
I cannot fault this at all. Absolutely lovely... You captured the magic of these three. Everything from Music selection, editing is wonderful.
Man... The editing is on point! Wish this masterpiece gets more recognition from the tennis universe.
Thank you so much for the kind words! just share it with fellow tennis enthusiasts like us :)
This is such a beautiful peace of art. I'm a diehard Novak fan and I obviously want him to go beyond 20 slams but it will be so great and like so unique for tennis if these three retire together at equal slams and just leave the GOAT debate unsolved.
Tennis will never be the same. We are extremely privileged to have had these three, but yeah, I will literally never be able to digest Fed's 2019 loss at Wimbledon. That nauseous feeling when you think about a bad break-up? That is what I feel every time.
Pls don’t feel that way! In the eyes of many Fedal’s fans, Roger has done the best he could at 38, which was 6 yrs older than Novak. Simply legendary!!!
This video made me stop caring about who the goat is, all i want is to watch them for as long as possible. The rivalries the matches theyve played, the accomplishments theyve made i just dont want it to end
Thank you so much!!
So gratful for such a big work. I do not know if only one of these 3 guys would have had the same results if the 2 others didn't be there, but they made us live beautiful emotions. I hope we will live on it again so that you can make beautiful videos.
I am rewatching this video two years after it was made. You did an excellent job. Your presentation appears unbiased like it should. Thank you.
One of the best tennis videos ever made. Hats off to you maan.
this video needs to blow up more. The best tennis video i have ever seen
Thank you Moritz! Glad you liked it
this entire Video is amazing. best video i have ever watched. i love how nadal says Novaks 2011 season will never be repeated, and yet here Novak is in 2021 and he has the potential to surpass both his 2011 and 2015 seasons, im just praying he stays injury free. Novak is the GOAT for me!

Of all the tennis videos I’ve watched on RUclips, this is probably the best one I’ve ever seen. Didn’t fast forward once during these 50 mins. Amazing to see a «Nadal-channel» giving equal praise to all three players, and just appreciating the tennis they’ve given us. Thank you, and well done! 👏🏼
Wow, thank you so much for your great feedback., I already said that even though I am a HUGE fan of Rafa and want him to be the one with the most slams, there is no point in denying the greatness of the other two. Anyone who does that, is simply a hater and blind to greatness.
Rafanatic20 Exactly! Having bakcground from Balkan, me and my family have been following Djokovic ever since he came on the stage, and can’t really remember the last tournament we didn’t follow him. Yet, if it wasn’t for Federer and Nadal, we probably wouldn’t have followed him as much as we’ve been lucky enough to have these three play in the same era and produce so many legendary matches. No doubt that tennis have never been at a higher leven, and will drop for several years to come when they’re done unfortunately.
@@ivordundic6095 And I understand perfectly why you support him, as he is your local hero and has done so much for the prestige of the region. I personally don't like him, but that should not be a reason to disrespect his unbelievable achievements. It's nice to see that many different fans come together at my videos, but still get along and discuss in a polite way. Most of them anyways :D
Rafanatic20 Hehe, well you’re one of many, if not everyone, who doesn’t like him unless you’re a Djokovic-fan😅 which makes his success and victories so much better and more impressive for him and us who follow him, when he beats his opponent in the finals, typically Federer/Nadal, as they are ones who always get to the finals and the thousands of very biased fans booing and vigourously cheering for Fedal. And yes, it’s amazing to see a channel where fans actually unite more. Makes us appreciate these three giants before they all are done very soon.
This was an absolutely spectacular video. Thanks for this :) Love how you captured the essence of all the big 3, and how you remained soo unbiased, despite being a Nadal fan. I mean, this video was so neutral, I could never keep my biases aside. Kudos!
Truly unbelievable, what a story you have created, so emotional!
I will never be over that Wimbledon final 😭
I have a clear favourite between the three. But once even one of them retires, tennis will never be the same.
3 giants, amazing matches, great memorias. Thank you, BIG 3 !!!
In my opinion... All 3 are among 20 greatest athletes of all time.
Absolutely amazing video. I cannot express how much I enjoyed every single second of this.
Just Amazing Work!!
Covered almost 90-95% of their rivalries in Grand Slams and Most of The Masters 1000s
But Their epic Encounters in World Tour Finals over years are also a Thing of Beauty!!!
Thanks. I know, but I had to make a stop somewhere. Like I said, I had to concentrate on the GS-battles, otherwise this would have been a 2 hour video :D
Andy Murray deserves some respect too to have reached 11 major finals only ever losing to one of Federer or Djokovic.
Such a beautiful composed video! Thank you for all the work! And regardless of who's gonna be the one - maybe even needless to say - what a treat this has been for past 15 years! What a treat for all of us.
Thanks so much for your feedback!
I have never seen such a great video in my life! Thank you for your passion!
The big 3 have been so dominant for the last 15 years, they could form a Super league and just play with each other
@@TML0677 Just make jim an extra! I would loose interest if they spent meaningful time on him when i just want to see and hear from big 3. He'd be an extra with a few line's and wawrinka would be extra number 2
Not 15. 18 years. Since 2004 to 2021 nobody outside the big 3 won two slams in a single year.
Roger, Rafa, Novak. These guys have given me so many memorable matches. Thanks to them
I cannot tell you how many times I've been here to watch this, simply the best vid on the big 3. Yes there's many great ones on each of them but nothing like this that captures the journey they have given us. Top job brother
Thank you so much!
:::loud applause::: What a fantastic video. Perfect, and I mean, PERFECT introduction of the rise of Djoker with Ready or Not. Haven't really smiled much recently when it comes to Djoker (relax, Idemo Bros. I am not bitter, just bored), but I smiled all the way through that segment. Seeing the delight on his face after all those tournament wins in 2011, especially Wimbledon, is really something.
Most Underrated Tennis Channel of All Time!!
This is almost as epic as the rivalry itself.
AMAZING!!!! Your videos are incredibly good, they should be seen in cinemas
Thanks Jonathan!
Outstanding artwork man! You really did great! And as Tennis fans we can only hope they go for a few more years.
Long live the BIG 3 🎉🎉
Thank you very much!!!!
This is a masterpiece bro! Congrats for this amazing piece of art. I watch every fucking day. The big 3. The 3 Goats.

Agreed, so well put together and such a fair view of the big 3!
As a die hard Djokovic fan I want to thank you Rafanatic20 (obviously Nadal fan :)) for such a great video I enjoyed to watch very much. Thank you for being as unbiased and impartial as possible here. Great job, respect!
Thank you Darina! It means a lot coming from a Djokovic-Fan. There is simply no point in denying the greatness of Djokovic, so why would I "ruin" the video in cutting out his triumphs. I wanted to tell the whole story. And the downs make the ups so much more worth it :)
Im realy happy to see that we have channel where all fans of big 3 can talk about their heroes with respect. Thank you bro!❤
Ther is no man on earth to say that dont like Federers play, or Nadals spirit, or Novaks toughness. They all have something great. We are realy hapy to have such a good heroes to watch uppon. They are all great human beings, great people with amnners, gentlmens and im realy thankfull.
thank you for another great video!
Beautiful job, thank you so much! Rafa owns my heart but gotta admire the Other Two as well. What an era of tennis! No one is going to take the Big Three down except the one undefeated all time champion Father Time - and they're giving him a run for his money! Long live the Big Three!
Simplesmente emocionante... Melhor compilation que já vi no youtube sobre estes 3 gênios do tênis.

21:33 Rolland Garros vs. year-end no.1. Jim Courier says it's greedy. I mean wtf. what is his problem with DJoker? Is he not liking him or what? He would never say this to Roger or Rafa.
The way DJoker replied to him was a well-thought-out response. This guy knows how to speak.

Kudos to you Rafanatic!,one of the very few rare the true fans!,Fair play above all!
I watched tennis in the 90s and admired players like Steffi Graf, Monika Seles, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Boris Becker, Martina Hingis, etc. But tennis felt a hit boring and empty for a few years in the early 2000s and then came the rise of the big 3. Federer looked like he was going to be a tennis God, untouched by anyone. But Rafa came along, and then Novak, and they turned it into the most fascinating and amazing era in tennis history. It's hard to NOT pay attention to these 3. Tennis changed in 2011 and I think it changed again this year in 2021. How lucky are we to watch the 3 best players in the history of tennis all playing one another during the same era? Tennis won't be the same after they retire. The decade of the big 3, with Novak catching up over the last 10 years was amazing. What will happen the next few years now that it seems to be the domination of Novak? Great to watch.
The only tennis fan channel youtuber who made this kind of long video💥
3 🐐 's
3 Legends
3 Fighters
We Are So Lucky Ladies and gentlemen to be able to watch this legendary players in the same time
I love everything about this video except 1: when the commentator mocked Nole for saying Roger/Rafa was beatable. It is Nole’s fierce self belief that helps him develop his mental toughness till today.
I would really love to see the face of the commentator now that Nole has broken records after records, now being world #1 the longest, winning 20 slam titles, 36 masters 1000, 6 times year end #1 and better H2H records against the 2 guys
What a great video. Hopefully you will still edit it and make it longer until their careers end, with a question at the end, "are we ever going to witness era like this again?"
Great idea!
Beautiful.
Thank you for this. Really reminds us of the beauty of this great competition.
We are so honoured as fans of the sport to grow up & watch these 3 amazing stars
Please don't stop doing videos like these. I would pay money to see this work of art. Simply phenomenal video editing skills.
