Djokovic & Nadal's Roland-Garros Semi-Final Thriller That Went Down In History! | Eurosport Tennis 

Its criminal to not show that mainline epic third set

I sometimes rewatch this match and it leaves me speechless every time. It might be one of the most hard fought matches in history, especially that 3d set in which nadal would have blown anyone else in history off the court yet somehow djokovic found a way to prevail. Nadal remains an untouchable god on clay and it's fitting that the GOAT managed to beat him twice at RG. One other final that was postponed to monday because of rain was a big disadvantage for Djokovic, I thought he was going to win that one too, the rain spoiled everything and he lost a bit of momentum. But in this match these two guys were playing a different game on clay than all other tennis players before them.

THE third set was greatest set on clay of all time and what makes eurosport, show us ONLY the fourth set;)

in 44 years ive been watching tennis..this is the highest level match ive ever witnessed

Come on Djokovic, let's go on and repeat this kind of performance at RG 2023!!!! 💪🐊🔥🤞🙏

The best match I ever seen the sheer quality was out of this world a legendary match

who else came here expecting to see that legendary 3rd set?

32:19 THIS face from nadal and the face from apollo creed in the first fight against rocky balboa, when rocky stand up from the floor in the 14th round are unique

One of the best tennis nights this match is ingrained in my memory, It felt unreal what he did that night, to beat Nadal at his best at Roland Garros, amazing

Greatest clay match of all time.

Battle of two warriors...

Rafa "loses-only-if-injured" nadal fans. Come and expose urselves here 😂🤣

I watched match live and saw a reaction on nadal face at match point. Surpricengly never found it on any video clips on youtube. Nadal didnt want to lose and he showed it on his face on match point.

Best Djole number one!

We will miss Rafa at RG and such epic matches between these legends at FO this year🙁

Djokovic was on top form and alll the balls landed perfectly.

now King of Clay Novak Djokovic

It took two years for us to get extended highlights from this match (either from the roland garros channel or you guys) and you left out the set where the highest quality of tennis was played

djokovic wins - the commentators keep silent. then commentators say "congratulations to both". they show how disappointed they are that novak won. disgraceful.

This should have been the final.

More like entire 4th set than an highlight

British commentator horrible sad commentary showed their true feelings eh

Novak said that he had to leave his heart and his guts on the court to win this match. Novaks greatest ever match bar none.

AJMO NOVACE NOVA TITULA JEDNA JE 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

That was a thriller!!

fun fact Nadal hasn’t won a set on hard in 10 years against Nole while Nole beat him 5 times on his beloved clay in the same period !!!!

Go Djokovic and good luck this year.

People claiming Nadal was injured is just BS, Nadal was better in clay season '21 than '22 where he even retired in Rome. I would say he played almost the same level in both matches but Djokovic wasn't this good in '22. Apart from last 2-3 games I dare anyone to show me any point where Rafa looked injured or didn't move well enough. 3rd set was peak level from both, Rafa even had a set point, probably have won the match if he took that and of course have beaten Tsitsipas next too.

the match where djokovic show who is the goat

Thank you to the unbiased commentators who are truly appreciative of the qualities of both players, especially Nole who won against all odds here after he was trailing 0-5 games in the 1st set. This is in direct contrast to USO commentators who clearly overlooked monumental special ability of Nole in each of his match

Greatest Rivallary of All Time . To Date - ( Novak -30 Rafael - 29 )..

In roland Garros their classic matches have always been semis

That DROP SHOT 👹👹👹

i'm a huge Rafa fan i hate to see him lose especially in RG but this game is much better than last year's game in terms of quality

This match deserved full house. Twitter was on fire 🔥 during the match 👍

Where is the full match, please upload the full version 🙏

To do that to the greatest player ever on a single surface in Nadal was just special from Novak hands down the best overall player ever. 🐐

If you could do condensed version of this match that would be the greatest experience

what a match, from a rafa fan

Greatest display of tennis ever on clay. Huge respect for these two legends. Just can’t believe that diehard Rafa fans talked that Nadal was injured. You either are delusional or never picked up tennis rackets in your life. He literally beat Djokovic in Rome finals like two weeks before this match. He just couldn’t keep up with Djokovic constantly rising his level. To win six games in row against Nadal in Paris is something only Novak could do!

Djokovic gave him a back bagel in last set 😂😂😂

Rafa is such a big legend that he's above the rules in the FRENCH OPEN he's clearly take more time to serve than it's given but no worries he's RAFA above the rules and he always will be.

I still remember this was the match that sent Nadal into a deep depression for six months, he was devastated coz he lost this match to his most fierce rival at his favorite surface at the favorite tournament. It was a heartbreaking moment. Nevertheless, they have met 10 times here, Nadal has an 8-2 edge over Novak at the Roland Garros. Kudos to Novak as well for challenging Rafa at French Open on a regular basis. I wonder what it'd be like if Rafa had met Novak 10 times in Novak's favorite surface at the Australian Open.

Epic!!

Roland Garros crowds have always been the fairest when it comes to big3. They cheer for roger, rafa, nole and don't have any bias against any of them. Whereas uso, ao and wimbledon crowds never cheer for nole

You should have started from the third set which is the greatest set in tennis

U SERIOUSLY AREN'T GONNA SHOW THE THIRD SET?! COME ON WTF

Plz upload full match

funny how so many Nadal fans pull out the "Nadal was injured card" every time he loses, especially when he loses to Nole........laughable................ that whipping forehand Nadal hit at 43:15 would be a winner against most players, somehow Nole got to it and stole the point breaking Nadal's spirit! they will never acknowledge Nole and his accomplishments...... Bravo Nole! man did he punish Rafa's backhand..

29:05 - rafa's inside out forehand had won him the point but miraculously novak gets it back and so deep.

The best match

Novak is Legend

Give us the full match. Common😮

No problem with Nadal’s foot, don’t be pathetic. Novak beat him fair and square

Djokovic I Love You

11:13 - Who would've thought that that would be the last game Nadal won at Roland Garros 2021

He did something Federer was never even close to😂😂😂

Now novak has 3 titles on every single GS, nobody has done that ever!!!! Plus, the best at the Australian, and most likely the best at Wimbledon, let’s wait and see. He has a mental problem at the US final. His problem at Roland Garros is Nadal… hahahah the best on clay

So now Eurosport Tennis is not showing highlights of RG anymore? Why are they not visible in the US?

God Somehow give novak's FH arm this level of power this RG... PLS 🙏🙏🙏 GOAT tying with clay goat aint good for tennis. Its insulting. Very soon GOAT has to extend his lead. 🙏🙏

Easy game for the GOAT 👑

IN THE NIGHT SESSION ON CLAY , is novak even stronger then nadal. Novak leads 3-1 against nadal on clay in the night session. ROME 2011, madrid 2011 and RG 2021 djokovic won: 2022 rg nadal won. I MEAN THERE IS A REASON WHY the rome and madrid masters is after the 2011 season not anymore in the night session

NoVax the Serbianator is simply the goat

Nadal never recovered fully from this match. This match ruined his body and may have even shortened his career depending on how he comes back next year.

Who is the greatest tennis player of all time? Roger is graceful…Fred Astaire Rafa is brutal ……..Mike Tyson Novak is lethal…….Chuck Norris The ATP GOAT is determined by OBJECTIVE FACTS, not SUBJECTIVE FEELINGS.

Novak Totals of Major Records Novak 24. 96% Conners 1. 4% Roger. 1 4% Rafa 0 0% Novaks accomplishments are astonishing when you consider the fact that both Roger & Rafa have had TEN significant advantages to help them over Novak in their careers. The so called “objective” experts, analysts, commentators and media fail to mention this. Both Roger & Rafa grew up in privileged and affluent environments in Switzerland and Spain with proper facilities to learn and train. Novak grew in a poor war torn country with almost no facilities to learn or train. In fact his parents had to schedule his training to avoid constant bombing raids. Both Roger & Rafa had easy & soft childhoods with little or no pressure place on them in their affluent environments. Novak grew up poor and his parents invested all they had for his career. Novak knew at an early age tennis for him was a duty, not simply a privilege or for fun. He fully understood before he was a teenager the massive weight place on his shoulders of his whole family on him to succeed in his pro career Both Roger & Rafa started 5 & 2 years before Novak, which gave both of them a big head start start and many more tournaments to pad their records in the race for GOAT. Both Roger & Rafa had the the billion dollar industry of the big sponsors pushing the narratives of them being the best. Both Roger & Rafa had the backing of the TV commentators to continue to push the narrative of them being the best. Both Roger & Rafa had the backing of the Internet analysts to promote them. Novak was generally shunned most of his career Both Roger & Rafa had the backing of the court-side fans. During his entire career, anytime Novak played against Roger or Rafa, 90-98% of the crowds favored them over Novak. In fact, the hostile crowds many times constantly tried to harass, taunt, and disrupt Novak during course of his matches against both Roger & Rafa. The draws have been fixed to favor Roger & Rafa over Novak. Here are the facts. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B6UPa4l4Xns.html Rogers era of competition was far weaker then Novaks. Simply look at the facts. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--dp2JgqvHVYI.html 10. Both Roger & Rafa have had to compete only against opponents on the other side of the net. In addition to competing with Opponents, Novak has had to compete against the Sponsers, announcers, ATP, commentators, fans, governments etc. Inspite of Novak not being allowed tp play many Majors & Masters, and the facts he has been been cheated out of many weeks #1 by freezing the rankings and losing 2000 points by winning Wimbledon, he still has 96% of the significant records. Novak slammed the door on both Rogers and Rafas last chance to be considered the GOAT when he beat Roger at 2019 Wimbledon and Rafa at 2021 Rolland Garros. The media, commentators and the billion dollar sponsors have pushed the false narrative for 15 years that when it came to the GOAT…. Roger was the chosen one Rafa was the hopeful one. In spite of their false narrative, Novak is the only one! They can arrest him They can incarcerate him They can deport him They can disqualify him They can steal his ranking They can steal his points They can freeze his points They can forbid him from playing They can slander him They can lie about him They can taunt him They can harass him But no one can stop him. No one!

the different between the RG 2020 final and RG 2021 SF is the court condition. ON that 2020 indoor condition is nadal always the favourite vs novak =95% vs 5% . On that warm 2021 night session condition is novak the favourite. 75%vs25%. On cold 2022 night session condition is also nadal the favourite 65% vs 35% . In daysession condition on clay is ALMOST always nadal the favourite against novak 80% vs 20%.

Fue el último gran choque Nadal/Djokovic.

Always happy when the rafa loses

Novak should win 2024 Roland Garros (French Open) & declare that he is all time great.

Novak Djokoviq is great Tennis

They attack each other every shot, and so many weapons. not only rally

So impressive!😅

Commentators: Djoovic had no right to win that point! Noval: Hold my smoothie😂

Still of the opinion Djokovic can’t play under the sun at Roland Garros

Why the f did you not show 3rd set?!?

I have a friend that keeps on diminishing this match because he says that Rafa has injured and that this is not a praiseworthy match. How can I defend Novak's greatness during this match?

It seems like this fellow Miles Maclagan the commentator during this match said “it is gonna be a challenge for Djokovic to keep up with the physical level…” Boy was he totally wrong.

Crazy how literally 50% of the video is them preparing to serve... Rafa in particular takes aaaaages

Hope rafa never plays again

Novak le ganó en buena lid esta semifinal a Rafa, pero todos sabemos que en la tierra roja de París es Rafa quien lo ha dominado.

Who is the commentator that says it’s gonna be hard for Djokovic to keep up physically with Nadal? Lol

Empty seats for such an amazing match. Shame

Beginning of the 4th set - Novak looked calm almost emotionless, yet Rafael looked perplexed, no solution there. Then I knew Rafael was going to lose.

The game changed when it started to get more and more humid and Nadal started to sweat more and more…the weather beat him..honestly.

Every Point he lost ever in his life is because injury or bad form (Most Nadal Fans )😂😂😂

It is the important match in tennis history. If Novak didn't win, maybe Nadal has the most GS now.

19:13 djokovic injurys nadals body in that match with long rallys like by the us open final 2011. Nadal could only not good move in the last 3 games in the last set when he take it foot bandage off. Sorry nadal fans , i know its hard for you but until 3-2 in the 4 set nadal was not injury or whatever.

This was a quarter-final because Zverev tore his foot in the semi with Rafa.

jelena's reaction

These are not "highlights", you scammers.

nole🦾

We won't be seeing this again this year. Doesn't matter. Alcaraz is going to be the one to beat and I can't wait for this tournalent to start

It's impressive how much time Nadal takes to serve. It's obvious that the umpires go easy on him, because otherwise he would be punished with a point penalty every game. Honestly, it's very exhausting to watch this bullshit Spanish playing

Nadal is somebody - sport is IQ and mental sport

Sta radi ovaj Nadal? Mnpgo vremena trosi na gatanje: leva noga, desna noga, levo uvo, desno uvo i na kraju hvatanje za nos, kap da nije koncentrisan na mec!

Not Nadal's best. Too much on defense and he looks tired. He also doesn't like it when it's dark at night and not sunny, as it should be when playing on clay.

Nadal avenged this loss, next year.

Commentator at 3:58 cheering like a supporter. They have no shame lmfao enjoyed his crying at end
