Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal | Wimbledon 2008 | Best Rallies 

13 years later, and still been the best final in history

Federer was right. Nadal is the man who made his backhand better.

Greatest match of the history of tennis

The greatest tennis match ever witnessed. It had everything class, elegance, stroke making, beautiful volleys, strong serves and most importantly never give up attitude by both players. Epic

That was the best Wimbledon final, maybe even the best tennis match of all times. Both players in their prime, delivering top notch tennis. Brilliance, class and grace personified. Two Champions.

Unforgettable play from these two. The pinnacle of their rivalry. The best tennis I've seen in 40 years of watching.

Looks like just best Nadal rallies

Who's here before their 2019 Wimbeldon semifinal Edit: Who's here after that amazing match? Edit: After even more amazing final?

Cant believe it's been 15 yrs since this epic match happened.Timeless classic.

Simply the greatest match of all time

Arguably. The best rallies ever played in Wimbledon by the 2 best players of this era. #Fedal

I remember this match like it was yesterday. The level of tennis in this match was just unreal!

Its clear that Roger BH has improved in 10 years.

The tennis world won when this match took place.

The stars aligned on this one. The two best players in the world at the final of the greatest tournament, and both in their physical prime. A golden moment and a banquet of pure athletic brilliance.

Ahhh that match was by far the best of Rafa-Roger rivalry, I never get bored watching these rallies. Well done for both champs, what an amazing privilege living in their era 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Nadal was ferocious here, he doesn't move like this anymore for obvious reasons!

Seems like Nadal has become more defensive over the years. He’s super aggressive here!

I will forever refer to this as the best match I’ve ever seen. Nadal defiantly deserved that win.

Some things never get old!!!

2:56 the crowd there were like some team in football score a goal ,, it's unbelievable how they support Roger in Wimbledon and other tounaments hhhh

*If I had a time machine, the first thing I will do is go watch the 2008 Wimbledon Final*

This was the first ever tennis match I watched. Although Federer lost, I became his Fan.

Federer backhand is better today than it was in 2008 which is incredible to think.

This is why I don't feel like watching Zverev, Kyrgios, coric, edmund, kachanov and rublev. Edit :- Removed thiem.

The whip and spin on nadals forehand is amazing, best tennis match I've ever ever seen.

This match had a *HEAVYWEIGHT FEEL* to it with the same Ali/Frazier gravitas. I was so blessed to watch this live almost 12yrs ago- it was incredible then and even more breathtaking NOW! Was on such pins and needles for Nadal but glad he pulled thru!

Caption of the video should have been best rallies of Rafael Nadal

Andrew castles commentary....speechless at times. I remember watching this thinking this is two players at their absolute peak who both played to their peak on the day of the final. THE best tennis match that's ever been played. Never been beaten since. Legends.

Has there ever been better tennis played than this? Simply magnificent!

Currently gettin' pumped for their RG 2019 clash!

Pascal Maria had the best seat in the house.. 9months later he'd have the same seat at AO 2009 Finals the man has seen the 2 greatest matches ever.. he even said that he didn't want it to end

One of the matches when crowd came to watch the great tennis. Applauded tennis

Demigod vs machine, whenever I see these two play I feel like I'm watching Messi vs Ronaldo 😍

One of the all time great matches of all time. Had everything in it.

Fedal Favorites Forever 🇪🇸-🇨🇭☺🥂❤🙏 Rafa and Roger Best Bromance ❤👌

Goran's win will always be my favorite moment and the best run I have ever seen, but this is the best tennis match I have ever witnessed.

Absolutely most incredible match ever seen before. Thanks two great players.

I will try to self develop and never cease to improve myself. Got really motivated. Thanks

the peak of tennis, there is no other than this two + djokovic, any game on their prime is much better than whatever game we in our recent years, this is it, glad we live it

The greatest tennis match of all time. This is the only tennis match I’ve ever recorded in my life, so I can watch it again.

Greatest match by the greatest players in the history of tennis

This needed in the final hope they both get there

This is incredible!!!!! Prolly make time to watch this whole match.

Everyone looks at the Roger-Sampras match in 2001... While seriously, this 2008 FEDAL is on another planet😍

BEST. MATCH. EVER.

wow I am not the most fan of tennis but this is absolutely incredible

The match that will never be replicated or beaten, these two were unlike anything tennis has ever seen (or will).

I’m here in 2021 watching this and still amazes me how good this match was. Unreal

I watched this match 10 years ago on TV, I didnt realize that Rafa was so cute back then 😀😁😍 #teamrafasince2006

Exhibition stuff from the two greatest ever players!!!!

I remember watching this match live on tv and that was the day when i admired these 2 legends and i became a hard Rafa fan

I am in love with tennis because of Nadal..After watching this game if anyone wouldn’t he must be a Vampire. 😂😂

Wasn't this the final where rain called off play for a while, then it went to that tie break in the last set. Was such an insane moment to witness Nadal finally ending Federers dominance at Wimbledon

I have a feeling that we will never see this sort of rivalry anytime soon. Man their every shot meant something

The Best Final in the history tennis .

Stiil Australian open 2012 final... The greatest Match I have ever seen..

this is the greatest Tennis match of all time ! Nadal had to beat 5 times back to back champion and Nadal was also back 2 back 2 times runner up ! this is why it is the greatest Tennis match of all time not 2012 AO or any other !

A truly wonderful tennis match.👌👌

One of best all time matches between 2 greats

Imagine uploading the greatest Wimbledon Final of all time without the scoreline

Legende 😍😍

Seriously, where’s the two best passing shots of all time?

Greatest match of all time

3:28 best points ever

La pareja rival más ejemplar de la historia. RAFA&ROGER♥️👏👏👏

Federer's backhand is much stronger now and had a 5 match winning streak VS Nadal before FO

Frankly, apart from the 2004-2006 period, looking back at these videos, I can only now see just what an underpowered scapel that PS90 racket he used back then was and how much it allowed Nadal to bully Federer with huge heavy strokes, even on grass. Seriously, those backhands by Fed are just bunts! In 2019, their shots were much more powerful than 2008. Fed's shots were just cannon balls compared to this match and Nadal too was hitting with far more power. Rafa was an absolute gazelle in 2008. In Rome that year, he made Djokovic look like he was facing a wall.

I like how the tennis audience is so silent when the play is going on and then clap/celebrate in unison after a point is won. All sports are uniquely good.

Greatest match in history level was crazy

Breathtaking tennis

Best final ever ! I felt the torch was passed but Novak came also. The shots and break points etc in this saved was madness !

This was so good, it's one of those big three finals where you say: both played so well, they both deserved to win. Sincerely when its 5 sets for me, it's like penalties on futbol, it can go either way.

Wow Fabulous points

Greatest tennis match ever

There's only one Rafa and Roger, and only one match like this.

Best match i've ever seen.

The game of tennis at its absolute best!

To learn that Nadal played this final with his foot asleep is mind blowing

El mejor partido de tennis que yo recuerdo haberlo visto en vivo

I remember this game the crowd loved RF and cheered for him but Rafa gave them the L

Anyone watching this after Federer beat Nadal today?

The Best match

This match changed a lot of things .. It made tennis world believe Federer is beatable and no more invincible.. The tennis world took a new step to a direction where it reached now .. with rafa and Novak .. if this final was not won by rafa .. things would hv remained the same , bcoz of the way Federer was dominating tennis at the time and Federer would hv become the greatest player of all time .. This match brought more belief to then new generation of players like Murray , wawrinka and tennis became more even and the competition became stronger.. Hats off to rafa once again for believing the impossible is possible of beating roger on grass .. which was not the case until this match . He showed determination and courage and kept pushing roger and finally broke the deadlock .. by doing so he became the record holder for longest period as world No.2 .. this match indeed played a big role in tennis in a way of breaking certain mindset and taking new strides .

The greatest matches of all times: Wimbledon 2008 final - Federer vs Nadal Aus Open 2009 final - Federer vs Nadal Aus Open 2012 final - Nadal vs Djokovic Aus Open 2017 final - Nadal vs Federer Wimbledon 2019 final - Federer vs Djokovic

All time great match

A good and lovely game

Greatest tennis match of all time

The best tennis matches ever

We don't have any new rivalries like this from the younger players. Partly because Novak and Rafa are still dominating.

They forgot the best point of them all , when federer defended a match point in the tie break with a backhand down the line....... the audience's reaction was louder than football fans when a team scores in a final .

The greatest match ever played

The level of the match is evident from the fact that despite Rafa playing his best tennis ever he still needed 5 super tight sets to get the title and overcome the great Roger Federer! ❤️

The best match ever

Beyond any doubt, the greatest match ever.

The quality of tennis displayed in this match is simply unmatchable, against any other player they would have won 6-1, 6-1, 6-0 !!!! Add to that, all the drama, anticipation since 07 final, legacy at stake, rain delays and suspense, the attitude and fight shown by the players and the fact that players being Rafa and Roger- in their 3rd consecutive Wimbledon final !!!!

Nadal had the advantage @ 2 sets up but the way federer came back and took the match all the way was admirable

The best match of tennis history

Holy smokes the intensity here was out of this world... I hope it's a Fedal Final for Wimby 2019 :)
