I remember this day like it was yesterday, here in Bulgaria barely anyone was working wherever you go you see the match and everybody were watching! We were joking the only bulgarian working on this day was Grigor😂
Man, it's sad that he lost, especially for you people over there, but hey, at least you all got a smile when he won the ATP Finals, I saw that match , it was stellar
It was an amazing match, I think Grigor could have won more tournaments and be ranked higher, I like his game a lot
Aww, I loved this comment!
Good Comment. 😄😄
Grigor won my everlasting respect for this match. Incredible talent and such focus under pressure, from both players.
Best Dimitrov's performance ever, right here.
Beating Federer 2019 US Open?
Adam Cang Federer was injured already
Absolutely agree! Never has he played with such fluency, desire and courage. That was his absolute best and it was beautiful. Ironically he wasn't the winner, because Nadal was just as good on the day and slightly luckier.
Why did he lose then
@@Lego-tennis Because nadal was even better.
This Grigor needs to come back in 2019. He needs to win a slam.
Why u think he deserved something like that ?
he got so close when Novak was unjured, fed was over 35 and those yougsters still were not on faya. if u expect something from dimitrov u a fool.@ItsMarMar21
Yeah but he’s still doing well.
@@tennisrfproductions9333
He's not....didnt defend any of his titles this year and won zero else.
@ItsMarMar21
Clearly English isn't your first language as that is not what I'm saying here. In short I'm saying Grigor had a better '17 than 2018.
My parents saw this live, we bought them the tickets for Christmas, couldn't've asked for a better match for them to see.
Amazing 👏
That’s nice
That’s so nice of u.
Nice.
@akshaymeena8577 you are beautiful 😍
So many of these great matches have Rafa's name in the title.
I think because he fights so hard. SO it's never over until it's over. Plus he has amazing skill with the tennis ball
@@MsJubjubbird
lol no shit sherlock
@@internetexplorer9492 😂😂salty
This match really flies under the radar among recent classics. Everyone talks about the final that year for obvious reasons, but this one had the better overall quality.
The courts looked beautiful here compared to 2018.
With that kind of talent , dimitrov should’ve won atleast 5 slams.
It was one hell of the fight! Superb tennis. It was so close and intense!
Thank you Rafa and Grigor for this match!
Thank you Australian Open TV for this highlight!
That's what is a sport!
This gotta be the greatest Grand Slam semifinal in history.
Australia has alot of these. In my opinion it has had some of the greatest semi finals out of all the opens. I could be biased due to being an Australian. But other matches I believe are on this level or even top it is Wawrinka vs Novak in 13 and 14. Roddick and Kohlschreiber I think in 09 and Hewitt and Bahgdattis. There are others as well. But these ones I've mentioned all come to mind
@@smacko4192 rafa and verdasco 2009 is the bar in my head. Some of the craziest shot making ive ever seen is in that match.
Dimitrov really hurt Nadal chances against Fed by pushing him 5 hours
To be fair, Nadal was up a break 3-1 in the fifth and Federer just switched into god mode
Rafa paid a lot the marathon sf whether if u like or not......Federer played very good and no question he deserved to win but Rafa seemed tired in that 5th set, he had a break lead because of federeres errors in that game
yeah must be tough getting physical with a 36 year old that just came back from surgery and played 2x 5 set matches before.
Lol, Federer who is 5 years older played a 4th and semi 5 setter and you are talking about this.
Vivek Namikaze Nadal’s was more physical, he had one fewer day of rest, and he was coming off an injury too.
Wtf was this level of tennis from 2017 Dimitrov??? Holy.
14:47 Rafa's speed to get to the net even after 4 hrs 40 mins of play is just out of this world
I hate Dimitrov for his inconstancy. I really like his game and i hope he'll won at least one slam.
SPELL BETTER
I like his game too but his time has come and gone, unfortunately. The NextGen guys are already here. It's over for Dimitrov. Bulgaria will have to wait for another future slam men's champion.
@@KnowTrentTimoy Bulgaria will have to wait next talent for the long time. Their top talent, probably best U14 player in the world, Victor Lilov, has change citizenship this year. Fucking USA :(
Hes a choker sadly. His game is a beauty but his mind is a disaster. Plus he is very spoiled with top brands and Girls, that damaged his carecer.
@@leonellopez1581 really?
What a match!! Rafa is such a warrior. He won the last 3 games to beat Grigor. Felt a little bad for Grigor because I like him.
Yes, Nadal won and it was an amazing performance, but the tennis that Dimitrov produced here was clearly his best ever. And that's what makes this match special, dimitrov's performance amazed me more than what Nadal did to win because his tennis was crazy !
best semis ever.
This was one of the best but 2009 SF Rafael Nadal v Fernando Verdasco was the best ever. I am not a Nadal or Verdasco"s fan but this was the highest quality tennis i have ever seen.
2013 Wimbledon semifinal, Djokovic vs Del Potro...
Nadal - Verdasco was the best.
@@S6brapoiss_Tupsu I wanted to write this answer too, you'Re absolutely correct.
Wimbledon 18 semis, French 13 semis and AO 12 semis are up there as well.
Best match of this tournament
what? are you not even going to mention the final?
@@gru9480 It was far more competitive than the final.
Although the final was a full set, the substance of each set was one-sided.
I think Grigor performance here was inspiration for Roger to win Rafa in the final
Watching Grigor have a great start to 2024 brings me back to this match. This was one of his greatest performances ever! Im so happy to see him playing well. God i hope it gets a slam! Maybe Wimbledon or US open?
There is a part of me that says Fed watched this match and took note from it. Fine tuned it a little more and used it to beat Nadal. Feds backhand in 17 was outer wordly and i think watching Grigor take the ball so early and be aggressive with it gave nadal so much trouble here.
Credit to Nadal though. Fed and Grigor both playing out of their minds. Basically had to play the same player twice and still managed to take both matches to 5 sets! Just a beast!
What a Match!!!
21:13 "Unbelievable, I think I just peed my pants." These commentators are great.
LMAO! Honestly! Favorite part of the match! 🤩😭😭
This match will live with me forever. I watched it in my $60.00 per month apartment in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
This is the beauty of 5 set matches that they give you a good chance of comeback. If this was a 3 set game then Rafa would have won easily but 5 set game meant that dimotrov got his chances to get under nadal's skin.
21:18 “ I think I just peed my pants” 😂😂😂
Yeah lol wtf was that
Two of my favorite players...hard to know who to cheer for.
Rafa litteraly met the same person two times in a row
The problem with Dimitrov is that he's content with putting up a good fight.
Great way to describe it, this is how my friend describes me but you put in such succinct fashion.
Yes and this is the important with Nadal. He doesn't care about the fight only result.
not at all. The reason of why he is inconsistent might be related with psychological problems after his thought losses
the smile of rafael nadal's father was unique .... i think at the stand of 5-4 deuce in the last set
I remember thinking that this might be for Dimitrov what the 2012 AO was for Murray. In that tournament Murray reached the semi and was close to beating Djokovic in a match that lasted almost 5 hours. For me that was the moment Andy proved that he can keep up with the big 3 and later in the year he finally won his first Slam. Sadly the outcome for Dimitrov has been completely different.
21:23 "such unbelievable tennis.." yeah man, totally! And just wait for the final, mate!
Match of the year!
I honestly believe that this Dimitrov would have beaten Federer in the final. That's why this is so hard for me to watch. But Grigor will always remain my favorite player !!! This was one of his best. He had even better to come after this. And he won. But in my book both of these guys deserved a trophy for this magical display of tennis. Great serving by Nadal is what won him this match.
Nadal is so much better than in 2017. I can't believe he actually made the final in both AO and USO that year despite playing full baseline mode.
Lmfao what?2019 AO nadal or 2020 gets molly whopped by this nadal.
@@aleksamilosevic8792 2019 AO Nadal was one of his best tournament performances ever. The upper the serve and his net play completely. So many cheap and easy points that he had rarely had before.
Oh rafa 🐐for every damn reason.. 1 helluva game that was.. How can u forget commentator sayin.. Oh Gregor watta athlete he is..
This match has become overshadowed by the final which I think is a shame because atleast quality wise this is a better match IMO.
Incredible match, incredible review but thumb down : please modify to put the embrace and respect of the two players at the end of this wonderful day.
This is a countdown for the Fedal 2017 final 😂
ohh please!!!
In my opinion this match was better than the final
Aníbal Suárez I agree, but for a fed fan like me the final was much more special
@@דניהרשקו-ש6ו yeah really special. I am a fedal fan and i rooted for both of them.
Nice backhand
They should really show some highlights of each set. I love the full length sequences but it would be way better with like 2-3 minute highlights for each set plus full length sequences.
I like dimitrov’s service motion and his shots reminds me of Roger. Need to be hungry to win grand slams. Otherwise they are just pawns to tire the finalist on way to lose the match against the true winner.
Lot many great shots by him but 20:00👍👍
This is the Dimitrov i used to love see playing, his level now is much more lower😞
never liked nadal at that time but I clearly remembered how I cheered with relief when he won the last point and kneeled down, simply for we could fortunately witness another Fedal gs final again which seemed quite impossible back then
Missing all the tennis during the pandemic
23:40 Tony Nadal making counching like always do.
This level of play on a consistent basis would have lead Grigor to win at least a couple of GS already.
Epic
phenomenadal
what a match, but with no handshake at the end of highlights...sad
They had handshake of course,it's just not shown in the video idiot!
Martin Zahariev he literally says “no handshake at the end of highlights” i think you are the idiot here
But he only turns up against the big 3, just like Kyriogs but the difference is Grigor has a much better attitude
Nadal played better in this match than in the final
Искрено се надявам,че ще се появат още тенисисти като Григор и Цвети!
迪米特洛夫这场真的很硬
18:05 to 18:19 :)
One of my favorite matches yet. Nadal May have won but Dimitrov definitely took Nadal to breaking point. I actually thought this could have gone either way
Super human vs super human ❤️
my biggest flex is that dimitrov's dad was my aunts coach
He didn't win Beijing 2016, he was beaten by Murray.
13.47 what a point
No highlights from the second set? C'mon
Жаль его если бы не связался бы с Марией Шараповой , то был бы великим чемпионом!!! Она разбила ему сердце и душу забрала!!!!!
21:15 lmao the commentator
forget the match..i was unable to concentrate due to grigoe..damn that hot MAN👁🙀👅
poor dimitrov , nadal has the strategy learned with his eyes closed.
👍👍👍
Djokovic vs Murray 2012 SF ASAP
Sadly Dimitrov is on his way to becoming this generations's Nalbandian. So much potential from this match but he still hasn't had much success.
Rafa at his best💪👊✌️
What's the opening music 0:01 - 0:15????
3:02 I think he came
8:19 - BLUE BLOW OF LIGHT ...LIKE 1/20 SECTION OF THE UP PART.......FITS TO NADAL´S LEFT FOOT....IT HIT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DOOR. he = [@@] !
21:17
Noone beats baby fed and fed back to back
Rafa did that twice in 6 months, first in Cincinnati 2013 then at AO 2014.
Looks like federer
And dimitrov had double the unforced errors
21:16 😂
Nadal should've beaten Federer that year!
Si les animaux jouaient au tennis ils feraient beaucoup mieux que ça!!
He peed his pants
Dimitrov is litterally a young rip off of federer
Dimitrios Fotopoulos did you watch the Federer dimitrov match at the us open 2019🤔
21:16 "I think I just peed my pants..."
😂
еуп
;
This match showed why Dimi will never ever become a great.
How? I think this is the match that showed what he is capable of.
What are you talking about? He never had an opportunity to serve for the match. Besides, what about Federer dropping a 5-2 lead over Nadal at the 2011 FO?
@@aritheferocious4000 Sry mate. thought about another mate.
2:22 Da mu eba putkata maina 🤣🤣🤣
VAMOS RAFA!!!!!!!😍
So unluky
After this match I remember I grew immense respect for dimitrov and also tried to follow him. After a match like this, you'd naturally expect him to stay in top 10-15 but sadly he wasn't consistent. But the talent is incredible. A very close match
And now he is in top 20 again :)
I mean he nded the year in the top 10 and won the atp finals so not too bad
He won Cincy and the ATP finals and finished rank #3.
@@dimitarberdankov7945finally top 10 again!!! 3 years later!
@@plane7541lets goo
Even having already known the result, watching it again esp the 8th game in the deciding set is so exhilerating. Definitely one of the best matches at AO.
And top 5 of the year!
The best match of 2017 by far.
Marcos Villavicencio yeah nah. 2017 Miami Masters Federer vs Kyrgios was much better.
@@goxaviergo11 hell no
I feel so bad for Dimitrov,he is playing so bad atm,but he has everything he needs.
One of the best matches i have ever watched!
Please, can someone bring back this Grigor? We need him on tour giving us this type of classics against Rafa... And against Roger and Nole too😭
I think he's kinda back.
@@thenewguy7527 nah he always seems to be back but in reality he has those 'moments'.
@@thenewguy7527 nope, he's over
News: He is in semis from Indian wells
Still, one of the best hard court performances of Rafa, especially considering that Rafa is a confidence player and that he hadn't had the highest confidence before coming to this tournament.
I was lucky to watch this match live in the Rod Laver Arena back in 2017. Felt like I had just witnessed one of the best matches in a long time. After the match, me and my brother were saying that it's going to me an easy final for Nadal, because Fed was not going to hold up much with his backhand like Dimitrov did.
It was a soft guess. Roger shattered everyone's expectations which is also why it was more pleasing for all Fed fans. Not only a better match than this, but one of the best matches in the history of the sport played with so much drama. Good memories...
Truly enjoyed these special highlights. Rafa and Grisha bring out the best in each other, and this is one of my favorite matches of all time. Unreal tennis.
짠하긴하다...ㅜ 둘다 좋아하는 선순데,,, ㅠㅜㅠㅜㅠㅜㅠㅜㅠㅜㅠㅜㅠ 나달이 득점할 때 소리치고 나달이 실점할 때도 소리치고... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 지금이야 웃으면서 봤지 라이브 때는 진짜 어후...
24:10
18:15 He missed that backhand in 2012 against Novak which also was the turning point.
It's incredible how Rafa missed that backhand, it seemed really simple
Overthinking & Nerves in the big moment@@alanledesma4945
Tennis today is such a drag. Just non-stop blasting from the baseline. No finesse, no touch. String and racquet technology (and slowing of the courts) took away the variety of shot making.
2017 dimitrov was fantastic
