rayneoftera He's now a lot better than he was in 2011. Back in 2011 he had 5 set matches against Nadal and now, he raised his level even higher, and he keeps improving. How high can ge go..He makes the other players looking like amateurs, including Nadal.

@@katerinapatiniotis5598 2015 and early 2016 was not bad either hehe

@@katerinapatiniotis5598 that was 2012 final

prezlamen prah Yes, he had other matches as well.

@@katerinapatiniotis5598 I seriously don't think he is. While statistically speaking he had a better year in 2015 than he did in 2011, he was way more aggressive than he was in 2015. As I said already he had the best balance of offence and defense. He certainly was more proactive in his rallies. And you also have to consider his chief rivals, Federer and Nadal were playing arguably better tennis than they are now. Rafa for instance had just come off from the previous year where had won 3 grandslams and featured in 6 finals in 2011 losing only to Novak. And Novak was still able to dominate those two in an emphatic fashion. What I liked about him in 2015 is that he seemed so much mentally stronger and more confident as result of this he was able to elevate his game when it really mattered even though I still believe he was more passive during this period.

facts!!!

Now I wonder how British critics feel when Murray lost to him here 5 times playing better than rafa did today

Watch Djokovic - Nadal final at Doha 2016.. Even Nadal was saying afterwards "I've never seen a player play better tennis on hard court". He did remind of that final at times today

Yeh that performance was even better than this one this one was just in a slam final and against a better version of rafa which is even more ridiculous but that match in Doha was just pure masterclass of striking a clean tennis ball moving like a machine and dominated a tennis court like no one has before. Djokovic is on his way to being the greatest of all time

@@liamholloway-sw7eu I agree on the fact that this was a grand slam final (I mean for god's sake it doesn't get bigger than this) therefore more impressive but I believe Nadal played better then than today. He hit some impressive winners and was not making many unforced errors (especially on crucial points like he did today). So in terms of the best level of tennis I've seen I choose the match in Doha but he did bring that level a lot today..

Yeh I agree what I meant was this is a much better rafa this is the rafa if 2017 2018 winning slams again 2016 he had an awful 2015 and wasn’t great in either lost to fernando is Australia and was injured again. He didn’t play well today but that’s due to Djokovic and the 4 month layoff he didn’t have key match experience against one of the best he was always going to dominated de minsur tifao and tstitipas lol when Nadal was their age he was dominating clay and federer winning masters and slams as good as some of these youngsters are coming up they ain’t going to be federer Nadal and Djokovic the three greatest of all time period

He is the GOAT

Bravo Alberto . All best to you. Gentlman

@@albertosancheztemprado565 l ment the first time in Grand Slam Final Nadal lose in 3 straight sets.

Nadal took his revenge at rn

all teens are annoying ;) True fans of the sport appreciate greatness and there's no denying Novak is something else ;)

Rafas my fave player but I’m in awe of Djokovic when he’s this confident and this healthy he just dosent look like he believes he can lose he dosent even think he’ll lose points not matter the player the serve the weapons this is ominous for the rest of the tour because either though he’s still behind federer and Nadal in slams and overall titles and match wins which is unbelivable tbh he’s mananged to dominate the best of men’s tennis. Federer domaines for years but against a weaker era no disrespect rafa has dominated on clay his whole career but not on all surfaces. Novak 2011 2015 2016 has dominated the best players federer Nadal Murray and other top players and looks likely to do it again now. He is on his way to being the greatest of all time.

@@liamholloway-sw7eu I believe so too, but he wouldn't be without Rafa and Fed, they turned him into this beast :) Always loved Rafa for his heart, so much passion from him. Just wish for all these greats to stay healthy cause we're privileged to see this golden era that will never happen again.

Yeah, you described Goku perfectly, i guess he is Goku of DB :D

He is a great person and athlete, i hope you find it as mistake for disliking him

@Daniel Burke i have.. im a long time tennis enthusiast. Why the question my friend?

@Daniel Burke ah yes 2006, some world class players he played that year.. i think one of their names began with a G or something

I hope you saw Rafa today 😎😎 where he showed how its done

@Daniel B This Djokovic would have beaten also Federer 2006, don't worry.

Ka meh ka meh ka eeeeee

I won’t to see someone takes 12 titles on the same competition, after we can talk if he from another pleant!!

@@povfootball7669 Djokovic is just as good a player as Nadal, if not better

@@povfootball7669 I want to see another player hold all 4 grand slam titles at once. Good luck mate

4title?? Are you kidding me, how you can compare the fourth major to 12 grand slam on the open France, everybody now the clay surface is the difficult in the tennis , mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@povfootball7669 If it's the most difficult, then Nadal should have an even easier time at the other slams. Except he doesn't. Djoković over all fairs better generally on grass and hard courts, and those make up three of the four slams. Nadal is a god at the French, but only at the French. Djoković can be a god in almost any place

I think the clay season will be eye opening let assume Nadal manages to recover from Injury will se whether this match was a blip for rafa or if the gap has widened.

@@joshjones5062 o yea he is always injured until roland garos.o yea

What is weakness?-Novak Djokovic

Among the top 10 players, Novak has probably got the worst smash.

Точно.

in nadals prime, and remember nadal started winning french opens so young, nadal had not much problem with djokovic. djokovic was regularly beaten by federer and nadal. By the time djokovic was at his peak which was 6 years after the wimbledon and RG you mention, nadal and djokovic were neck and neck. djokovic won us open final, then nadal avenged it by beaten djokovic in their next us open final, then nadals injuries took over.

@@shaunhumphreys6714 You're trying to make it sound like Novak never displayed dominance over Nadal before injuries. Didn't he beat him 7 times in a row, twice,and first time while Nadal was in great shape? Djokovic was getting beaten by them, but from the moment he reached his prime, he becomes untouchable for those two. The fact that he trailed 7,8 wins to both of them, and now is leading them both by 4,5 tells enough. And one more thing, Djokovic entered prime at perfectly normal age. Rafa is the one who entered it in high school, but his body is paying price now...

@@shaunhumphreys6714 yeah you just said that.

That's because Novak is the only player who has the balls and skill to play on Nadal's forehand. So, Nadal was always expecting from Novak to place shots on his backhand while Novak was continuously placing shots at Nadal's forehand. You could see several times during the match that Nadal was starting to move to his right side expecting from Novak to play on his backhand and Novak would use backhand and play on Nadal's forehand again. Even Mats Wilander talked about that a day before finals (I think with Boris Becker) that by according to stats Novak averages 20% shots to opponents forehand if the opponent is lefty, however when playing against Nadal he averages around 60%. Basically, forcing Nadal to play his best shot and winning that way. Other players avoid that as a plague, to send balls to Nadal's forehand, but Novak is doing the opposite of what others are doing. That way he fucks up Nadal's defense. In a nutshell, Novak dismantled Nada's forehand, then Nadal's backhand and Nadal's serve. People who are saying "Nadal played bad" were not paying attention and not analyzing what was going on. Yes, Nadal was not playing that good, but he was also tactically dismantled by Novak. Of course, Novak's backhand is one of the best in tennis history, so not everyone can use that same plan to beat Nadal.

@@komauma1750 Novak always plays like that against Nadal, so it wasn't that Nadal wasn't expecting it, but his usual tactic of forehand spin to an opponents backhand just doesn't work aswell against Djokovic because his backhand can defeat Nadal's forehand in a rally with relative ease. He was simply blown away by the speed, depth and precision Nole was generating, which is why he seemed too late in his timing for so many shots. I don't really understand why Nadal didn't play his forehand down the line more, as his forehand was getting obliterated in the crosscourts.

VAMOS TAMOS

lack of lateral movement after being on crutches a month ago

@@TheNabOwnzz Nadal gets his convidence by getting the opponent out of position with a good cross court forehand. But against Djokovic it doesn't work (especially on hard and when Nole plays like that) because his backhand is good enough to take the ball very early and still get enough depth and power on the ball. That's why against Djokovic Nadal lacks the confidence to play more down the line and he runs out of ideas (Toni Nadal said it as well: Against Federer they have a clear strategie, against Djokovic they don't). Same in the French Open this year. When Nadal isn't able to dominate with his forehand (that includes not hitting close enough to the lines with his forehand down the line), he will have problems. Luckily for him, Djokovic is more or less the only player on the tour who can defend like that. We saw it in 2011. Nadal was destroying every opponent until the finals where djokovic beat him every single time.

Nadal has not won 1 set in 9 years against Novak on a hard court lol

Deskas Andreas As a negotiator?

Deskas Andreas nah don’t want to use Djokovic for racist means

ThisUserName15Taken The "joke" is not funny. The Mexicans are not throwing anything to him to block. And I'm funny at parties.

@@katerinapatiniotis5598 the point is that hes like a wall in tennis, and trump needs... a wall, hence the joke.

I m a Nole fan and i have to say that with out Rafa and Federer we would never have Nole as good as he is now.I just don t understand how can anyone in the crowd sit still and not applauding when Nole makes great shot.Watching Federer,Rafa making great shots is something that I do after every tournament and I m loving it."THE BIG THREE" not ONE GREAT.Cant wait to see Federer and Rafa on Wimbledon.I prefer in final with Nole...Thank you for kind words for Novak...greeting from Serbia!

Johan Rijhkelaar He will surpass them very quickly.

oops ! sorry to disappoint , its like u knew. He is catchin up alright buddy!

Geting closer to 20. Now 16 big one’s.

Yet they say he plays dull "robotic" tennis. Rubbish! What is better than a long rally filled up with great shots?

You watched DBZ that could be a reason.

@@alejandromarginedas5300 and then lost to Djokovic 1:3 in 2021 on his favourite tournament

@ with injuries

Travis Bickle just perfect execution of his gameplan . The thing what boosts Djokovics confidence the most against Djokovic is how well he can dominate Fedal from the baseline . Take this final for example Travis. It should be a misprint, but Nadal, who had won 59 per cent of his baseline points coming into the final, only won 29.5 per cent (26/88) of his baseline points against the Super Serbian. Djokovic completely dismantled Nadal’s baseline game by going hard after his forehand. Nadal had hit 100 forehand winners and 116 forehand errors to the final, but that ratio didn’t hold true against the World No. 1 on Sunday night at Melbourne Park. Nadal struck 11 forehand winners in the final, but committed 28 forehand errors as Djokovic constantly played wide through the Ad court to attack Nadal’s running forehand. The theory is simple. Nadal is the best player in the world at running around his backhand in the Deuce court and upgrading to a more potent forehand. With Nadal always looking to protect to the right, Djokovic attacked to the left. Superb from the Serbian. The first step was to break the forehand down. Then it was to double down on an overloaded backhand. Nadal had 33 backhand winners in six matches to the final, but struck just three against Djokovic while committing 21 errors. Step two accomplished. It’s exactly the same demolition sequence at every level of our sport. Break down the forehand, then the backhand, and the serve will quickly become overheated. Nadal made just 64 per cent first serves in the final, compared to 69 per cent leading into it. Nadal had won 81 per cent of first-serve points to the final, but that fell off a cliff to just 51 per cent against Djokovic. If you can break down the forehand, the backhand, and then the serve, the match sits on a platter for the taking. Everywhere Nadal turned, he found a Serbian brick wall. The Spaniard was -14 in short rallies of zero-to-four shots against Djokovic, and -15 in the longer rallies of nine-plus. Short didn’t work, and neither did long. Unfortunately for the Spaniard, he had nowhere to turn to to formulate a winning plan.

@@ertugrulkorpinar51 Fantastic analyse, maybe the best I have read in last 15 years..Well done.

@@ertugrulkorpinar51 Excellent example, by literally shot by shot (forehand, backhand, serve) 👍

@Ertugrul Körpinar Hey man that’s a great analysis... Can you do another one about RG 2020? If you do that ad something new like the bagel and the complete thrashing demolition...thx in advance 😁👍

@@altinjosa9328 Rafa on clay is beyond any possible. Simply monster.

dude they have 0 chance when novak rly want to play

@@srga1981 He has like 50 losses to Nadal and Federer. I doubt that he ''didn't really want to play'' in all these days where he lost to them.

@@NLLeFa at least federer and rafa have more than him

NLLeFa he has 60 wins at the same time

if you watch the whole highlights this is not the massacre people are saying. clearly nadal has some problem, but he still produced quality points, take 6:13 for example, blasting forehand and backhands. and so many of rafa's serves had djokovic scrambling with nadal completing one two punches. i think the tactics he had used through the tournament, making the points super super short because of his injuries was no good for djokovic. nadal has to play the long points to beat djokovic, not shorten them.

Fatality

Introverder where he is on this tour??? Disappeared in action???😂😂😂 I can not find him 😂 The same thing is with Kacanov If someone think to be big player,he must come in every tour,not to hiding half season or more and then he comes rested and beat someone like Rafa,Roger or Novak...they are shit-players☝️😎

@@TML0677 Djokovic was terrible at wimbledon in comparison

Don't say that. Fed fans will throw their toys out the pram. As a Rafa fan, I think you're right.

screwthesystem respect for you 👏

@@JoeBarnesAuthor BTW, I am a Fed fan but I'm also objective; the level of dominance this guy has imposed on the modern game with so much competition is unparalleled.

@SilenceOfThought yes but Nole-Federer 25-22, Nole-Rafa 28-25 !! not only the GS matters in tennis, Nole won all his 15 GS with BIG4 in finals and Federer won just 8 From 20 with BIG4 in finals, the other 12 were with no names.

None of them is the GOAT. All three of them are titanic players that can pull incredible performances, that day was just a bad one for nadal and a good one for djokovic. They've played eachother so many times that it's just weird to call any of them GOAT. Three years ago it was Nadal, two years ago it was fed, and now djokovic, the cycle continues. There hasn't been a year where they were all at their absolute bests so we could see what it would be like.

He already lost to bautista agut this year,he has nadals number but he is beatable

Every player has his god mode

Never forget 2015 when he was in his prime and got defeated by Stan in the final. Also, Rafa's the best in clay, for sure it will be the toughest tournament for Novak to win.

Would he beat rafa at the French though I don’t think he will he did it once but that’s when rafa was fucked rafa is still the favourite for Roland Garros 2019 if he’s healthy he’s winning it no doubt

@@tosinajayi8899 yes he did, but he obviously didn't care that much for that tournament as he was more interested in playing in doubles with his brother.

He destroys everyone in Australia lol 7 semis 7 finals 7 wins he murdered fed in 08 11 16 Murray in 11 15 16 Nadal 19 he murdered Ferrer 13 berdych 11 he is the king of Melbourne

Take a look at today's match.

@@DarKnight-li8ie 'Todays' match was a set up. Djokovic embarrased him so Nadal had to hit back. This is all business

given their wimbledon semi final not long after, which was their tightest or 2nd tightest 5 set match they've ever played against each other, and grass being nadals worst surface (because of his bad knees), it shows novak's dominance was because of nadal's completely new gameplay style at the australian open, brought in because of serious injury concerns of even getting nadal to finish the tournament, his coach moya instructed nadal to play risky tennis, finishing points really quickly, serve volleying, 3 shot rallies, otherwise nadal would have to forfeit the tournament with injury. also nadal completely destroyed djokovic at the rome masters final -the tournament before this years french open which nadal also won. the moya strategy at the australian open meanwhile worked all the way up to the final, but that sort of play doesnt work against djokovic.its too offensive leaving you to vulnerable to passing shot winners, also if a player on hard court or clay court tried that gameplay style against nadal, nadal would destroy them. playing like that leaves you too vulnerable. the only way to beat novak is to play the way nadal naturally places- defensive baseline , heavy top spin game, forcing opponent into errors, and usually unleashing winners after 20-30 shot rallies. This is why the only nadal, and andy murray (when he was at his peak winning his 3 grand slams) could beat novak at a grand slam. so at wimbledon nadal had reverted to his normal standing way behind the baseline position , heavy top spin game, and he didnt win, but he almost won the wimbledon match.

@@shaunhumphreys6714 that's a heluva lot of excuses for this annihilation 🤣🤣🤣

FEDAL is the greatets rivaly in the history of tennis! There is no room for any other rivaly when we talk for "the greatest rivaly"! Djokovic is machine and by many indicators he is better than Federer nad Nadal!

Yea

@@Sm0oka Fedal was a very 1 sided rivalry, looks better on paper than it was, Nadal dominated Federer, also their matches was Federer serve Vs Nadal hitting topspin moonballs to Federer backhand, it wasn't that great.

Blu Avenger I agree, always enjoyed fedal but like you said, at the end of the day that rivalry was way too one sided

Blu Avenger be careful with disrepecting the goat there. a majority of the games between fed and nadal were on clay which made it easy for nadal to go after feds backhand with his topspin forehands... federer had some great wins over nadal and dominated him in 2017. fedal will always be the greates and most exciting rivalry in tennis history
