Holger Rune vs Novak Djokovic For The Title 🏆 | Paris 2022 Final Highlights 

Too much self-torture with Djokovic blowing all those easy break opportunities he normally would take with comfortable presence in key moments.

@Rafa undisputed Goat Today I got a RU-vid notification to watch Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia live! So they are definitely working on it. (Today's hearing is about lighthouse expansion. - srdjical prevention of shipwrecks?)

Thank you

@@zetristan4525 👍👍

Hey Rune don't give in! Remember the big 3 reached their peak at age 24.

Also the first player in history to do so I believe 🙎🏼‍♂️

First player in hiatory to beat 5 top 10 players? Press X to doubt.

@@jameswalker6864 in a masters 1000, yes

Alcaraz and Rune both made an incredible run in a masters 1000 this year! Madrid and Paris and now both in the top 10

Better achievement than Alcaraz’s, imo

That was some Djokovic like mental fortitude from Rune today, especially in that final game, serving for the biggest title of his career. Amazing.

Yeah every single one of those players easily had the ability to take the match if Rune had dropped his level too much. He played so well ALL week.

Well put. It couldn't be said any better.

Much respect to Rune. He seemed to be making all the right moves to get by each opponent. He probably listened to Stan's advice about his behavior also. His focus, drive, determination, and mental fortitude was impressive for young guy.

Huge clutch player.

bruh

I think It was alcaraz x sinner by us open

@@tigotigoify YES!!! That match was totally unbelievable!!!

This was a fantastic match but Sinner vs Alcaraz US open was the best match of the year

I saw him beat Stefanos in Stockholm. He is for sure a rising star. He left me mesmerized.

or when novak was 3-1 up at deuce and he had an easy smash/volley but he went the wrong way and holger then had bp which he converted

had he won that game he wudve been 4-1 up

NOW ALL HE NEEDS TO LEARN IS humility.

@@ozzyakram441 yep Djokovic lost due to his bad volley and smash skills.

@@tonymiller6847 agreed.

Well Gen Z beat Novak 5 times this year. Novak went from the Djoker to the Choker.

@@danielgrimal3074 You miserable little cunt, gen Z are 25 years old now. And how many of them he beat?

Rune was good! I like Novak and he try his best, but many times (I think) just return on R hands....

@@danielgrimal3074 novak won 1 grand slam and didn't play 2 more shut up now gay 😀😀

Exactly this!

watching Stefan edberg is pure delight..elegance par excellence

Yeah, that's honestly what impressed me the most. The whole tournament he played a fast attacking style and then in the final set, suddenly decided to counterpunch and won like that! Crazy

Yes its always good when they show the handshake and incase of finals like this the trophy presentation.

Yes and Stefan was always a gentleman both on and off the court.

Lol don’t be thanking tennis tv..they only post 8min highlights for finals. Everything else still 2-3min max

I'm not his biggest supporter but Djokovic is always wonderful in defeat when greeting his opponent at the net.

True but he has also behaved like an asshole on the court many and many times.

@@ChristiaanRoest79 yes can’t disagree at all-so many questionable actions , it’s weird though that at the conclusion of the match, he is almost universally gracious to his opponent

@@johnmullarkey1883 not true.Djokovic is not always gracious in defeat

Yes, and you would never seen it from Federer.

@Rafa undisputed Goat Bro my nan's left nut could beat rafa in 2023

@Rafa undisputed Goat KEKW

Exactly!

@Rafa undisputed Goat oh,thats a big statement.It is too early.Please don’t jinx Nadal with your statement

Temper is a good thing, but only if you can control it, and Rune seems to have gotten that sorted out since US Open. From now on he doesn't have to fear any of his opponents but they all have to fear him.

@@sneakyfox4651 not really if you saw his match with wawrinka the same week…

@@sebastianlim3652 OK. On the way to sort it out, then. Rome wasn't built in one day, afterall.

@@andrewb8235 I am Danish and dont celebrate squat, as a matter of fact i hate most ball games, well at least team ball games like football - hand ball ASO. BUT ! Tennis is a mano a mano game i can respect, and i have dabbled a little with it myself in the mid 80ties, so i have some understanding for the game. Lets see how it goes from here, Danes do tend to collapse fast i think, a unfortunate trait of our nation if you ask me, anyway he are just a kid where as i was his age 37 years ago.

"Forlad forlad forlad" was a really mentally sick moment for sure :)

@@andrewb8235 I've talked about this numerous times, completely agree the link to nationality just shouldn't exist in a 1v1 format like tennis. For the Olympics/Laver cup? Sure, but that's the entire point of those events. This point was especially prevalent with this whole Wimbledon Russian-ban thing

@@pliashmuldba my husband loves watching tennis. He loves the man vs man aspect just like boxing which is like 2 gladiators fighting. Maybe, we are witnessing a new goat of all time contender?

My favorite Great Dane competed in a different time and sport. I met GM Bent Larson a few times. He talked with anyone and gladly showed his loss to a computer at an LA tournament. He was the first Grandmaster to lose to a computer in a tournament game.

For me is still a bum player not nothing special will see next Grand Slam what he gonna do

@@tennisone6376 dude he beat 5 top 10 players and one of the best players of all time in this tournament. In no universe is he a "bum player". I'm so tired of these RU-vid tennis gurus who have no idea what they're talking about.

@@drift9301 come on he never won nothing before this and diokovic let him off, alcaraz was injured also his serve is weak he got broke a lot and double faults

@@tennisone6376 Djoker didn’t let him off any - Rune took it to him and dug and pushed and won that match. Do you even comprehend the game at all? Tennisdumb would be a better handle in your case.

@@whizkid4386 😄

It was like djoker facing a much more offensive version of himself

It is sort of logical. Wawrinka was the only one to not only match but also be able to beat Djoker at his best (e.g. USO'16). So if Rune was playing like Djoker then Wawrinka's opportunities are logical.

@@ivo7418 I mean wawrinka is wayyy past his prime. Djoko is also but he is still really damn good while wawrinka burned out

@@ivo7418 Completely agree although the 2016 Wawrinka was way better than todays version

Rune looks nothing like Joker. He has a much more attacking style. If he played like Joker, he'd put everyone to sleep. Luckily there's only player with that title, Joker himself.

Djokovic serve and FH has at present is much better than his younger days. But his BH,Return and elastic flexibility has somewhat dimnished

Novak choked and kid has super mental strength doesn't go side be side 😆. Kid is so good that he made novak choke sounds better!!

Djokovic choking is unexpected really

He looked a little tired ..

Novak is now living what Federer had in thé last 2 years of his career…losing against younger and stronger players. Rafael Nadal is also in this period of time. They still can win but it won’t be in the majority of total titles next year

​@@segare-trop-vieux3932 reality speaks.. age is not a number hey

Yes, Federer can learn something about faith and mental strength here.

@@pauljohnson6019 stupid?!

Nope. Anybody who watched the match at 0-40 second set and 3-1 third set, would see that Rune did nothing special to win those points. Djokovic simply missed easy shots that he would normally make. The same applies to the marathon 6-5 game. Rune won because Djokovic was not Djokovic.

I also support Djokovic, and in the key moments it came down to him playing 'inferior'. Novak didn't even convert a break point, as Holger doublefaulted the two he lost. Holger fights hard, but he has not reached Big 3 level.

@@pauljohnson6019 Federer may wonder, "Why didn't Novak let me off the hook so many times in any match? I'm deserving enough too." :)

😂😂😂

I don't even lioke you, yet I read your 'profound' drivel.

I also don't like him at all. He earned that tournament win though, legit performance.

He's a 19 year old making history, so I doubt he could care less about anonymous randoms (like yourself) who don't like him.

@@yago572 Wondering who claimed Rune would care about an online opinion, and wondering how he "made history" (despite it being a milestone in his career without doubt)? The youngest player to win the tournament is still Boris Becker.

@@yago572 oh shut up can't even say an opinion anymore without a fanboy like you adding shit like thid

It is bit to soon to call Rune the GOAT tbh

@@jadu-entertainment Guess you missed the part "when he loses".

Not the GOAT

@@jadu-entertainment how can you live with all that hate inside you

@@alexandar4943 hate ??

Dude ain't no luck beating 5 top 10ers back to back to back!

Haha they forget gs djokovic is a totally different animal

This ppl are a joke. Some younger won a match and they start saying "new GOAT" and stuff like that. When in reality Novak played awful today and gifted all the crucial points.

@@a.hthejoker You guys were spot on

Lol 2023 and again just one match from winning calendar grand slam 😂

Nakashima and Draper are good, but a long way from the others you mentioned in my opinion.

Nakashima and draper ?? Jajaja. The real deal in the future are: Alcaraz, Rune, Sinner, Musetti and maybe FAA. The rest are just good players

@@ignaciolance4629 Musetti is great but not at the same level as Alcaraz, Rune, Sinner and FAA

draper and nakashima i don't think are that caliber yet. swiatek alcaraz rune sinner and faa are at a diff level of success rn

@@monstermagnet3150 musetti has all the potencial and talent, but he has to make that "clic" in his head like alcaraz and rune did this year. It could happen any time, it cames from anything like we saw from rune or alcaraz, It is just a matter of time. Like any other talented players we saw in the past, it could happen or not but i think musetti will eventualy join that group and fight for big titles.

Yeah he is easily the most gracious after losses out of the big 3 (coming from a Federer fan)

@@SARYM911 I was going to write THE SAME exact comment but you went first. Agree

@@SARYM911 Yeah rrrright! 🤣🤣 - You've got 'Federer fan' written all over you. Do you know what they do to imposters in some countries? Djokovic is as gracious as a cow after giving birth! Like all Djokovic worshippers you are completely blind to reality!

They are very close friends

@@SARYM911 Most disgracious in wins, and then fake humility in losses. Novak knows exaclty when the cameras are on. Do you remember the Laver cup when he didn't realize what he says will be heard when Federer was coaching him and he behaved like an arsehole on his retirement day? 30 minutes earlier he had asked players to carry Federer in what one could only describe as a fake, planned and unspontaneous act...Only to destroy his fake deference 30 minutes later when he thought the mikes were off!

Insane dane

@Rafa undisputed Goat It depends on the Australian government

The so long expected downfall of djoko & Nadal has started & will become more steep in the near future. Federer who is a more talented, gifted player , 6 years senior to these 2 , retired when he was 41 years old & it looks these 2 will retire within 2 years from now ( around 37 years of age) as the latest new generation will start kicking their butts more regularly

@@devasundarchatpublicityas9472 am a fan of them both since 10 years but that's true unfortunately. Federer at 38 still played toe to toe with 32 year old Novak in 2019 Wimbledon final. In my opinion Rafa is done. He will not win another french open. He is going to be 37 in french open next year and he is not fit fully , still struggling with injuries I think, Novak has a chance , but next year is his last year to try to win anything. That's my opinion. They don't have to prove anything anymore anyway. I wonder how many GS will Alcaraz win or other guys. I am pretty sure they won't break the records. And it will be nothing special if Rafa looses in french open being 37. If Alcaraz beats him let's say it won't be any achievement, he would never beat him in his prime so.... Same applies to Nole. Federer knew when to get off the court. I hope they will know when the moment comes. Cause it's really close.

@@piotrwolski4526 I think Novak has 2-3 great years in him left. He is going to win 4-5 GS titles more in my opinion.

@@piotrwolski4526 It is close for Nadal, but I am sure that Novak will keep on winning GSs, the only reason that he lost from Rune now is that he wasnt play enaugh matches so far, we all know why..and it is not fair to count GSs without mentioning that Novak wasnt allowed to play on two GS tourns so far..we will see what will happen with AO in 2023..hopefully he will play and that is going to be a real competiotion, all other options are simply not fair competition and I personaly can not count last AO nadal won as a fair earned trophy..so, let them all play, and that is going to be a real measuring of power and keep in mind that is is playing on 3 sets won! :)

He went 2/4 in back to back finals. Still amazing, especially this win in Paris!

Yeah his coach is he also working still with Romaninan WTA player too?

Has nothing to do with Patrick lol

Federer curse 40-15- ha!

Wouldnt quite put Rune as the favourite. Djokovic is the favourite, that being said hes not as heavy a favourite as he would be at other tournaments such as AO and Wimbledon. Will be interesting to see if FAA gets drawn into Djokovics RR group. If he does that makes things really interesting. Nadal wont be much of a contest sadly if he lands in Djokovics RR group. After going up a set and a break Nadals level dropped so badly. Really hope one day Nadal can capture Bercy and ATP finals but time is running out, and hes not always healthy enough to play those final 2 events of the season :(

@@james-vx7nv Yup, didn't wanted to be rude to Nadal fans but it's actually better that he pulled out before start of the tournament as he might pull out after 1 or 2 matches anyways (and almost has 0% chance to win this title)..so that alternate player gets to play all 3 matches...and obviously rune in this form will be a much bigger threat to everyone then nadal and might win the tournament as well.. Time already ran out for Nadal to win these 2 tournaments I'm afraid .. He wasn't even able to play all 3 matches in lot of occasions (ATP Finals) and I think it's 2013 when the last time he made it to the final...

@@hirenpatel3699 Nadal might not even win French Open next year, forget about hc- whether fast or slow surface.

@@pauljohnson6019 Yup, end is near..2023 could well be his last year as well..

@@hirenpatel3699 He had near 0% chance of winning AO this year. Even before the tournament he had near 0% chance. Then he was down 2 sets in the final. Then serving at 2-3 0-40 in the third. We all know what happened about three hours later :) Anything is possible but indoor hard is much tougher for him, and Djokovic is there, whereas he was not at AO this year. Nadal said if he is healthy he would give it a shot. Lets see if he can pull off another miracle.

He isn’t playing in the next Gen finals, he is 1st alternate for the ATP finals after Fritz replaced Alcaraz.

@Rafa undisputed Goat You repeat yourself dude, booooooooring🥱

@Rafa undisputed Goat Be quiet bot🤐 and spread your nonsense somewhere else!

Agree- he's very young and it looks like he can play with fire and still be respectful to the game and his opponents- looking forward to seeing how he progresses!

Same here. Am a great fan of him .

Your Nole is one of the most arrogant players out there. Definitely not the complete package.

@@JohnSmith-xx9th What are you on about? He took this loss with maturity my dude. If he was as arrogant as you say he would not have given the hug or smiled. He respects all his opponents end of no idea why you think he doesn't

@@JohnSmith-xx9th one of the kindest players in defeat. Nole is a great sportsman and he showed that in this match

@Rafa undisputed Goat Just like how Rune stopped the eagle same could happen to the bull. We shall see what goes down in AO23 going to be interesting as hell I'm ready for it already. Question is who is going to win the ATP Finals? Rafa never has won it and has played it a whopping 16 times. Will it be this year? Or will the eagle fly in a swoop it up? Lets find out.....

@Rafa undisputed Goat I'm not underestimating anyone just keeping it real anything can happen. I hope there is another Nodal matchup should be darn good. If Nadal wins it all he will be number one and will lift that trophy for the very first time If Nole wins it he will get his 5th to tie Fed and desperately needs the points. Lets go. Vamos. Idemo. May best player win it all

I have a news for you if you have a notice he has shifted his priorities since becoming a father and they’re too young guns that are gunning for the top spot so anyone can win yesterday AO.

@Rafa undisputed Goat 😂😂😂😂 ok brother!!

Nobody is denying his talent just his attitude but he will get better. Federer wasn't a saint at this age and became one of the most loved and respectful player. Give the kid some time

and saved 3 match points in 1st round. he was in the zone. lets see how next year will be. i guess Djokovic still knows that he was mostly in control of the match and it is more that he lost the match than Holger won it. But still he deserved it totally.

Some of you weirdos have the weirdest take. No shit rune had a tough draw. Whenever a player is not ranked his draw will obviously be brutal. Come on stephen a smith

Stan is responsible for some of Novaks biggest losses after all LMAOOOO

Novak Dopingvic losing a match is always a good thing.

Alcaraz doesn´t count.

The next gen Rafa ?

Don't fall toon far! Unless u like badboys!

@Rafa undisputed Goat 23>22😂

Felix looked very tired yesterday. It was not a good match at all. The match today was a hundred times better

@@kolega427 Yes could have been I did not watch the Felix match tbh but this guy the way he beat Alcaraz earlier, played some exquisite backhands....has talent for sure

He was giving Nole a taste of his own medicine with the mixing of speeds and spins today. Impressive performance!

He has only clear road in Wimbledon. Roland garros rafa is there..In US anyone can beat him but right now he has no entry in Australia and US

​@@FLASH_5 perfectly summed up. And I hope his run at Wimbledon comes to an end next year on.. there's no grass court specialist to challenge him nowadays.

@@truthseekertitan3986 yeah thats the sad thing in tennis

@@FLASH_5 Djokovic can play US open next year. They don’t have mandates anymore. Few weeks after US open they changed that rule

@@truthseekertitan3986 u can hope lot of things motherfucker

Jel uvek pišeš ovako duhovite komentare?

Djokovic is a baseline machine... his netplay is good but not excellent. I think Federer is a more complete player but less consistent than Djokovic.
