After 6 hours of tennis I was more tired ..just watching it from sofa..took me like few days to recover :-)
and you are from? srbija?
celebrityserb Hahahahahah...great summary
Darko Petkovic his name says he is serbian
lol
next day highlights is there
People also forget that Djokovic played a 5 hour match with Murray in the semis.
people also forget that nadal played both quarters and semi at around 4 hours each with berdych and federer.
No we didn't forget 👍
Also gotta remember those poor ball kids 😂
@@karan200590 That wasn't at all the same intensity, Djokovic Murray was insane, probably their most intense match they ever play against each other.
Murray was much more difficult than Nadal. That was the final
This was a war of fitness. Incredible final that will be remembered for a long time.
For a long time?! Forever!
Every player is fit it was just two big minds with good mentality that made it last so long
@@johnkingkingjohn5298 Novak and Nadal are fittest players... They don't have weaknesses, their fitness is balanced all around.. Both strong, tough, agile, fast, lot of stamina, endurance and energy... But i think Novak is on top in both fitness and mentality
@@twentytwo138 agreed with everything except fitness. Novak is slightly more fitter than Nadal. Novak will even play 10 hours without showing tiredness.
@@jayandrans5440 they both cramped after that particular match...
Whose coming after the federer and djokovic match at wimbledon?

this match proves why male and female tennis players do not deserve equal pay. the first set of this match lasted longer than the entire women's final of that year. how is that fair or equal?
mrSnakeeye20 longer rallies makes it fair and equal? i don't think so.
roter13 because women
If women and men tennis prize money is based on match viewership then I would consider that as fair, even if men are payed more (more people watch mens tennis).
+roter13 You know, they once asked the male players about how they felt when women were about to paid the same. Most men gave the response, "I don't really care, as long as I get paid the same when I win." But those who objected gave your answer about time on court, which at first glance seems okay, but you don't consider that the time spent on centre court final is about 1/10th of 1 percent of a total year's court time (for male or female).
I won't deny that due to just biological dimorphism between men and women, there are some tennis feats women can't pull off. Yet the difference in end results is not so apparent, such as in the WNBA, that ticket sales for the women are paltry in comparison.
Men sell more tickets, but the numbers are comparable. Honestly, with the big four and its decline right now, it's an interesting time, and on the women's a bit less-so in terms of established rivalries.
I think women make better ambassadors for the game. Women talk more and have more outlets (fashion lines, candy companies, etc) they can use to link to tennis, which is good for men and women.
But if you don't agree with all this, ask yourself: well what now? You could try to lower women's pay, and that'd never work (it shouldn't). You could try to make them play 3/5 set at slams, but that would never work either. Billie Jean would shut you up so fast.
If you were to make court-time in front of a stadium audience the only factor for being paid, then get ready for your local 12-year old girl moonball tennis marathons, except played by those who really could keep it going all day and night if they wanted to...
Well maybe the problem is the men! You could try to make men play 2/3 sets at slams, but you'd get McEnroe and 10 other legends twice his age that you didn't know existed complain about breaking tradition. They'd be right.
You could, make men and women play at different times or venues to maximize ticket sales. But then, when you arrived at Wimbledon to watch Nole or Rafa, you'd think to yourself, "Where did all the women go? This is supposed to be a grand-slam!"
Women are being paid an equal amount now, and that can't be taken away from them, because there's no GOOD argument as to why we should change it up on them. If there were, it'd have worked, and there wouldn't have been a pay raise.
I know you didn't say most of those talking points, but through the years, I've seen them in person and in media, so I thought to respond to them. Sorry.
I think things are great as they are right now. I can't remember a time where (at least the stars of) the ATP and WTA seemed to get along better.
roter13 It's not about sets played or length of sets. It's about gender equality. That's like hiring a man and a woman for the same warehouse job. The man is stronger and therefore lifts more boxes. The job description is the same. The woman does a satisfactory job. Are you going to pay the man more for doing the same job because of the volume of work he did in the same amount of time? You have to stop the dividing line somewhere.
Djokovic has won all his grand slams with blood, sweat and tears. What a champion
Federer Nadal too
@@Laland_1196 not federer
@@rafailbaldal6062 I'm not Federer fan but reaching 20 slams is not that much easy,he has some knee surgeries,at his older age he won three slams fighting toe to toe with Novak in Wimbledon finals..you want to respect him
Unlike Fed who had Hewitt and Safin to “battle” with
Other ones won it while strolling in their garden.....Djokovic suffered too much to achieve what others achieved without breaking a sweat.... right ?
I remember staying up watching this through the night. I knew then it was one of the greatest tennis matches ever played and I called people up to let them know and watch it.
In terms of shot selection, points, eh just every thing was better in wimb 2008 final. That was more a gladiator fight then tennis match :)
gutz1981 tat was 3rd consecutive grand slam final defeat of so called great player Rafa at the hands of Djoko.....lol the cycle of humiliation completed .Also djoko has demolished another so called great player federer in two consecutive Wimbledon finals......lol
Demolished ? Well 3-2,3-1 in sets ? Besides that only thing that metter is number of GS. Nole is behind Roger and Rafa. End of discussion
Kira before ending the discussion I wud like to inform you tat you are conveniently ignoring the demolishing of Rafa at the hands of djoko at his own backyard tat is the French open in 2015 in QF and tat too in straight sets.......lol
gutz1981 yes that’s true it’s the most epic final ever
I love how these comment sections always end up being name calling contests between fans of Nole, Rafa, and Roger. Does anyone on here actually know how to have a discussion about tennis? We're living through a golden age of men's tennis with 3 of the greatest players of all time. Be grateful about that. Enjoy!
so true all fans do is berate each other when wre in a golden era of tennis that will probably never be replicated and this week at Roland Garros for the first time a wide open French open +Chris Kirkby
The current generation are playing boring baseline tennis. The best generation was when there were a diverse range of playing styles. From Borg to Sampras. Now we get a the best baseliner vs the 2nd best baseliner!
OMG!! you're absolutely right.
Lyly Lay
I used to love tennis. Now I don't. Let's put it this way...If you have children and they refuse to sleep, what can you do? You say "Let's watch some TV!!! Yeah!! Put on some Novak Djokovic vs Andy Murray...I guarantee your children will be fast asleep in 10 mins.
And who cares about what you think?? If you find it boring, then why don't you go to another part of UA-cam to watch something you find interesting??
It’s kinda funny how this vid shows up right after Wimbledon 2019 final lmao
That's called marketing skill in corporate dictionary.
Thats called "they are watching you" in spy terms
So greatest Final between Nadal Djokovic
Coming back to this video after today’s brilliant semifinal between them at the Rolland Garros
I do comeback again and again to watch this epic match. And it always gives me chills.
The atmosphere of the stadium was electric🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
But What was Missing in Nadal in the Semifinal, That He Had in This Game was His Better Serve, Better Backhand and Supreme Fitness..
And I fear We May Never See that Nadal Again..😭😭
Nadal losing on clay was pretty shocking
I think he may be losing his touch
Novak will end his career with 30 majors, I don't see any opponent who can stop him unless someone like a Tsitsipas emerges.
For me, Novak is the GOAT
@@Rafan0003 say that again
Nadal's reaction at the end of 4th set = priceless.
David It was a life changing moment for him. When he won the belief in himself that he could win against an opponent who was dominating him.
prateek p still lost what a pity 😭
When nadal does it, it's priceless.
When djokovic does it, it's arrogant.
Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool....
Nadal 🐐🔥⛽️
And, yet, in the end, he lost.
That's even more priceless. :-D
Here we are again, 7 years later...
koliko li ce trajati ove godine
8 years later...
'' Alo ovde neki satanisti divljaju prave neki miting''
9 years later... :))
9th 2021,next 10th for Novak!
Novak Djokovic deserves the applaud and appreciation. He justified his last years dominance over tennis. Well played by both players. An amazing final.
Last years 😂😂😂
@@ShivamSharma-ed3dc Hehe

@@nishawadhwa78i90 there's a lot of difference between wimbledon and Melbourne.. Wimbledon is battle between 2 legends with variety of shot making and it is slightly greater than Melbourne
whos watching after Djoko just won his 9th AO title (2021)?
hhh me
I m after he won his 6th wimbledon.
I remember watching the beginning of match before dinner. Then I had my dinner, went for a walk, got back home, and...they were still playing. Then I just left all my stuff aside and watched them till midnight.
So djok beat nadal and federer in both of the greatest ever finals? Lol
What a guy. No wonder fans hate him.
GOAT!
too many tennis fans are biased snobs unfortunately
How about all the other slams he lost?
You can call him GOAT if he exceeds Federers 20 slam titles. 2 matches is not enough to call him GOAT.
Imo Federer will stay GOAT. He might have a negative H2H against Rafa or Novak. But Federer can pull off every shot in tennis,he plays effortlessly and his game isn't just baseline.
Fans hate him because he is extremely unlikeable. Doesn't matter what matches he has won. His game is dull to watch. They call him a wall like it's a good thing. Boring!
I never thought I’d see someone beat Rafa like Novak did in 2011&12. It was mind blowing. Rafa had dominated tennis and destroyed Roger but Novak did something extraordinary for a few years. For me when Novak was at his peak, he was the greatest I’ve seen. Better than them all.
no
@@akapandeo yes :)
Novak Is in an even better peak right now.
yes but 20 slams first then we talk!!!!!
@@akapandeo 20 slams against Hewitt, Gonzalez, Rios, Safin, and the last few while Djokovic, Warinka, and Murray were all out injured.
greatest match of all time! they both could barely stand after it ended.
They were collapsing listening to all the speeches. Finally chairs were brought to them. Unforgettable match!
Who's here before the 2019 final
Let's go Novak!!!
Vamos Rafa
Let’s go novak
Come on Nole 15th comming
Novak
Fun trivia: Novak has not been beaten by Nadal outside the clay court season since losing the 2013 US Open final. They played each other 11 times (hard, grass, indoor)... 10 of those Novak won in straight sets. Pretty impressive!
If this is a highlights video, why is it not 5 hrs and 53 minutes. The whole thing was epic!
It's funny how people call Djokovic boring or his tennis game is boring yet, this guys has probably the most matches in the top 10 or 20 greatest tennis matches of all time.
Think about AO 2012, FO 2013, US Open semi 2010 and 11, Just to name a few, not forgetting Wimbledon 19.
I don't think Anyone does and even if they do, joke's on them
Novak is just a legend. He's the only reason I watch tennis. So passionate and so bloody talented
No ones better under pressure
He's the GOAT imo
I don't think I would back anyone to win a grand slam final with the opponent having a match point and the entire crowd behind them
Only Novak can do it.
Djokovic's win over Nadal at FO 2019 should be mentioned too. It's not as close as a match as the others, but it's probably the highest level of tennis I've ever seen in my life from anyone.
And now add his classic RG 2021 win against Nadal (Set 3 one of the best ever seen in a tennis match).

Most people don't know that in 2011 Djokovic beat Nadal in 6 consecutive final (2 grand slams and 4 masters).
And this is how their rivalry continued in January 2012.
Small note: It was 6 finals in 2011 then this was the 7th in a row
7 In A Row And Then Nadal Won 6 Out Of Next 7 Encounters.
Yes, but Nadal finally managed to turn it around at Monte Carlo, leading to that great win at Roland Garros.
This video deserves more likes and views to be honest...
Is it ok now?
@@p3003p No
And so this comment
Regardless of what sport it may be, it really is a privilege to watch 2 Legends of the game go head to head whilst both are in top form. It almost feels like watching 2 superheros fight.
Exactly my thoughts
well said
Well Said.
The King of Hard Courts v The King of Clay - This match had everything imaginable and will be a testament to the greatness of two of the greatest players who ever lived. Brilliant!
I agree! those two are unbeatable in their own turfs. Djokovic and his Hard courts and Nadal with his Clay court. Although Djokovic might of dethroned Federer as the King of Grass court I still believe Federer is the true king. Djokovic is just to strong for anyone to even get close to him.
Djokovic isnt even close to being unbeatable on hard courts wtf

Say again?
He holds the highest % win on HC in history - I think that is about as unbeatable as anyone gets.
Certainly is an all-time classic - two all-time greats showing incredible skill and fitness. Great athletes and great drama as well.
I watched the entire match in a hotel room in India, so great to see the highlights after 7 years...
Doesn't quite get the credit it deserves. By far the greatest final! Incredible drama AND extremely high level of play 💪👌
Two legends going at it, nothing better.
Here after Rafa won his 21st slam, 10 years after this heartbreaking loss.👍👍👍
That not a win at all..... Because they disqualified the champion 😂😂😂😂😂
without Djokovic he would’ve won the 2012 grand slam too 🙂
@@wellingtonpaurosi4161 who ask ur champ to not Vax... At least nadal not as dumb as urs
@@wellingtonpaurosi4161 True, no wonder why Nadal didn't win a single AO when Novak participated, and this ONE time when Novak was Disqualified for no reason, Nadal won it. Nadal was extremely lucky that Novak was dusqualified
@@wellingtonpaurosi4161 Jelena disturbed the AO finals in 2012, Nadal was better
Still makes me nervous, watching this.
One of the finest battle ever.
Ultimately, perseverance of Djokovic proved to be a notch higher.
What a joyous moment it was!
This is out of this world. The best tennis match in tennis history. what else can u expect when 2 goats are playing in the peak of their career. Hats off to both giants ,Nole and Rafa
This two people,tennis players are the best .Best Mach ever.They are very humble guys ,very pleasant.They always take last drops of their.Thank you very much guys 👍👍😊👏👏👏👏Vamos Rafa and Nole
This was the first full tennis match that I ever watched with dad and I've loved Nadal ever since. What a match it was.
It's all about Novak's emotional strength at the match day. He includes him self in so many different things and sometimes he overestimates his emotional condition. 2020 RG is an example. If he is emotionally on his regular condition it's almost impossible to beat him.
Yup, well said
He beat Nadal on clay that too after being one set down with Nadal leading 5-0 at one point.
Djokovic is just insanely good
I remember this match and it still remains my fav match all time. Tennis has never been played better. EVER.
It's circa 2019. Yesterday the Australian Open final was played between Nadal and Djokovic. The Golden Era continues
I wonder how did everybody just simply forget this historic match and great Novak's victory, one in a row!? Shame to be all those who forgot who played and won this monumental final! Long live Novak Djokovic!
This was my introduction too tennis and what a final and an amazing display of skill by these two. their fitness was just amazing.
I remember this like yesterday, it made me fall in love with Djokovic's style of play (even more, I already watched him). He is the only player ever, loses the first two sets (I know it wasn't here) and you think "Djokovic will win". He's an endurance player and it makes for great tennis.
And 10 years to the day....
One of the best games in the recent history, pure classic
This was unbelievable. Will never forget it.
The match took so long because both took forever to dribble the ball. 😂
Who’s here before theim and Novak Australia 2020

I remember screaming with Djokovic at the end of the match, it's been 9 years now, and he just won his 18th Grand Slam title, and now Nadal and Federer are on 20, what a time to be alive!!!!
He won his 19th last week
Novak is just supreme.

Congratulations Djokovic Sir and both you played really well .
Best final I have ever seen.
Djokovic vs Federer Wimbledon final was the greatest skill wise, but this one was the most brutal final ever, every point was long and exhausting.
No Fed vs Safin ao 2005 was the best ever.pure genius shotmaking
