2011: The Year Djokovic Dominated Nadal! 

Add 2015

@@Laland_1196 yes and roger Rafa and Murray are not competition???

@@Laland_1196 abe lodu....

Roger played at 80% at french open, and easily dispatched him in 4.

symba 80?? No 100 it was the best match of his carrer he said it himself and he won against him at the FO but you seem to forget that Novak destroyed him at the ao dubail Indian Wells before that and beat him at the uso after.

Tottaly Agree

Agree,and I love it

Maybe for his fans,but for the rest is annoying, dementia, arrogance. The best thing in tennis? OMG.I can't believe you and the thumbs up got so bad, poor taste! And don't say about hate, got nothing to do with hate is about knowledge and taste.(no reply for any reply because is worthless) ,

monte carlo fianl grunt was just amazing sight

Totally agree

@juneaug Lok really??? Did you expect nole to win in nadal's house ? Wait to AO USOPEN and Wimbledon and we will see...

@juneaug Lok man it happens sometimes, last year Djokovic destroyed Nadal in the final 3-0. Both are amazing. Nadal leads 18-7 on the clay and Djoko leads 20/7 on the hard courts.

@@nikolakovacenjoyer4187 But Nadal lead Nole in the USopen 2-1. He has won it more than DjoCovid has.

@@rifenossimple4344 7 years ago, nowadays the result would be different

@@nikolakovacenjoyer4187 in the Australian open yes. The US open i don't think so. It has never been Novaks domain, to much of a high bounce.

Yes, but one step down

@Shawn He wasn't mate Djokovic was his problem that year. Nadal had spent too much juice on Federer, he couldn’t do the same thing on Novak.

Stueww Nadal had tactical problems in 2011 . His serve wasn’t good enough and got punished by Djokovic and his agression from the baseline wasn’t up to the task . Nadals backhand imo was lacking penetration consistently that year and his forehand up the line combined with his court position wasn’t threatening enough for Djokovic. All those things he adjusted in 12-13 and guess what he started to beat Djokovic 6 out of 7 matches .

@@ertugrulkorpinar51 Exactly, his returns too weak is exactly what comes to my mind. Return short against Novak and you’re done and that’s what he fixed in 2012 and as you say, Nadal has started to dominate him again. I also think that his rivalry with Federer was so demanding, that mentally he was overwhelmed against Novak. Your analysis is always right, why don’t you come back to the Whatsapp group? Prudhvi just invited me.

@@ertugrulkorpinar51 we all know Djokovic's level had dipped marginally from 2012 till 2015 and Nadals had increased in 2013. Also those "adjustments" that Nadal made consisted mainly of him being able to step into the court and utilize his forehand with less effort than in 2011 due to Djokovic's reduced groundstroke depth. Don't tell me it's because Nadal stopped him from doing so because I've seen with my own eyes that the difference was infact Djokovic's inability to put pressure on Nadal with his groundstrokes off of the same patterns of play.

Plus Nadal was coming from one of his best seasons , 2010.

That year was prime nadal vs peak novak. What a year of tennis

Gunbnelch Maui It means nothing tbh, Nadal won 3 out of the 4 matches the following year against Nole.

Federer 2006 is the best

What Novak did with his bh in 2011 is the best bh ever. No competition. Not even Wawrinka.

What era? He dominated one year. 2012 was nobodies year. 2013 was Rafa's year. 2014 again nobody sticking out. 2015 and half 2016 djoker. 2017 Rafa/Federer. 2018 Djoker, 2019 Rafa/Djoker, Rafa had more masters. That not really dominating.

@@rifenossimple4344 Dude u are joking or u are just stupid?

Go check the stats then come write again how many masters and slams Djokovic won year ending no1 since 2010 :) comprate that to others :D

@@arrogantmonkey6365 you're the one talking out of you're ass. Djokovic has not continuously dominated this decade. Where was he in 2012, 2013, 2017, 2014 ? Did he win more than one slam in those years? How can you call that dominating. Even year end ranking he did not dominate. Rafa was year end in 2010, 2013, 2017, 2019. And Murray was year end n1 in 2016 that is already 5 years that he did not dominate.

@@arrogantmonkey6365 he won 16 slams Rafa won 14 slams, Murray 3, Wawrinka 3, Federer 5, Cilic 1 and Thiem 1. Yes he won the most. But not by a large margin since Rafa won just two less. Djokocvix dominated 3 years, 2011, 2015 half of 2016. 2019 was split with Rafa, with Rafa winning one more master.

Good on you to be able to acknowledge this Stueww. We need more fans like you

@Shawn Nadal was 100% in 2011. It's just that he wasn't ready to face that monster peak Novak. He needed to change his game and he did that in 2012.

@Shawn As a Nadal fan, I would have to say Djokovic was just way better than him in 2011. There is no denying that, injuries or not. But this is why I became a fan of Nadal. He may lose but he works hard enough to improve his game. And he did so in upcoming 2-3 years and did that once again in recent years. This is just an example of how the big 3 have pushed each other hard enough that they have to improve even as they reach the end of their careers. When prime Nadal vs peak Novak was going on in this decade, it didn't seem like either one will lose a point based on their defence and movement. That is just how high of a level these 2 were fighting at.

Prateek Ranjan well said

@GTS Fans like me can recognize things, but fans like you can’t. That’s why everything you say won’t be credible.

@@sumnahlennon4516 yeah I MEAN NOVAK IS A GREAT CHAMPION AND great HUMAN BEING so he deserves way more credit for what he's done in his career

@@federicotown8052 Fax. Most Fed fans immediately turn to disrespect him by saying that he somehow played in a "weak era" (is prime Nadal and a relatively good Fed not enuf? With Murray, Delpo, Nishikori, Stan...). Once this fails, they turn to accuse him of retiring unjustly from like 2 or 3 matches. Then this fails and they just accuse him of being lucky or something equally stupid. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Fed fan, but hey you can't just discount all Novak's done. He's managed to achieve as much or more than Fed himself. Don't start BSing just cuz you don't like him...

Yes but Rafa surpassed him after this year and dominated him back, winning 6 of 7

You mean after the US Open in 2013 because Rafa beat Novak in the Rogers Cup Semi and US Open Final in 2013.

@@seboskribanek6890 Say that again now, but try without crying.

Just because Rafa was not the best in 2015 doesn't mean the tour was weak. Roger in my opinion was one of his best versions in 2015 reaching 2 major finals, 3 masters finals and the atp finals finals.

@Shawn Reached the finals to please the fans?

@@sergiosarmiento4371 he truly got injured in the second half of 2011, I don't know somehow he was able to win the Us Open

@italkcrab I disagree, Murray reached 1 major final, reached 2 major semis and won two masters. Wawrinka won one major and reached 2 major semis. Not their best years but by non big 3 standards that's actually pretty good, how could you say the tour was weaker than usual? Even Rafa was not as bad as people suggest, the fact that he lost 6-7 times to Novak (the best player of the year) meant that he still could play well enough to reach him but not enough to beat him.

Sergio Sarmiento just because players make it to major finals doesn’t necessarily mean it still wasnt a weak year. Everyone was out of form and the non big 3 players were inconsistent out of slams. 2011 was against prime nadal and a decent fed

@@lamontviolante I think now his movements are more compact, and his forehand swing is more fluid to my eye. Love and respect for Nole, always

@Shawn Nadal lost the final match to Djokovic in 4 Masters 1000, at Wimbledon and US Open. What kind of knee problem gives you no trouble beating players like Federer, Murray, Berdych, Tsonga (all inside the top 10 in that season) but makes it difficult against Djokovic?! This has nothing to do with injury. Rafa had to win from 5 to 6 matches in every one of those tournaments he fell in the final round to Djokovic. The Serb was simply too good for everyone in 2011. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Nadal fan, but blaming on an injury to justify being schooled by Novak when he was at a higher level, that's just lack of humbleness.

@Shawn I'm pretty sure he didn't skip Wimbledon because he had 2000pts to defend, a world number 1 ranking at stake and obviously, as the best player of the world, the obligation of playing the tournament as he is a sponsored professional player. They might say in press conferences they play for the fans, but Nike, Richard Mille, Kia, Babolat and others disagree.

I kind of disagree, his backhand was phenomenal but his forehand was inconsistent on average. I prefer his forehand performance at RG this year.

Don’t be stupid. Rafa destroyed Djokovic after this winning 6 of 7 meetings and beating him at US open and the US hard court treble lol. 2011 made Rafa go up a gear through 2013, unfortunately for Novak 😂
