      The other one won two of the four grand slams he participated in this year, that makes it three grand slams won by two of them this year. Last year one of them won three of the four grand slams played.

      Yep , I have all his GS matches saved and re watch them time to time. His bh wasn't so good in Cincinnati as here but I put it down to lack of match practise on hard court since Wimbledon this year. When I see his back hand flowing down the line and cross court then he's unstoppable 🐐

    • @iBearD14
      @iBearD14 11 місяців тому +7

      to be honnest, this match was a peak in term of physical ability but not tennistically. See how Novak hit much more closer to the line now, go to the net.
      To be honest this match was more about Novak choking tactically by refusing to go to the net and stop playing close to the lines combined with Rafa mental toughness than a close tennistically speaking encounter.
      Watch the video and see the difference between set 2, 3 and beginning and set 4 vs the remaining. Novak was the better player but played very central which allows Rafa to turn around his backhand. Nowadays, it is a no match on hard court because Rafa is not as fast as he used to and because Novak is able to kill a point more easily not because he hit a lot harder but because he is more precise.
      Also comparing Cincinati with the AO conditions is not fair as cincinati is a faster court than this AO and is also more exposed to wind. Thus, the precision of the shots can't be the same :p

    The semi-finals featured the BIG 4, each played by a causal combination (Federer vs. Nadal Djokovic vs. Murray).
    And the two who made it to the final were truly two of the most iconic players of the 2010s.
    In addition, the four non-BIG4 players who made it to the quarterfinals were also great players.
    Ferrer, Berdych, del Potro, and Nishikori.
    Nishikori was outside the top 20 at the time, but a few years later he became a top 5 player and was right up there with the other seven.

But then two or three points and it was impossible. This is the greatness of tennis, but also this is the greatness of two of the best athletes ever to step on a tennis court.

    What's insane about this match is the level of tennis at the end. I mean they could barely move or stand afterwards, but were 1000% to the end. Rafa having that break at the end when he looked empty, and the point he won down 15-30 in the last game was just insane. Also at 5-5 with Novak having the AD, Rafa unleashed a really good first serve that Novak just nonchalantly returns, just incredible. Then when it looked like Rafa would break back in the last game, Novak digs deep. I have never seen a match that intense all the way to the last point. It truly is the greatest match ever. I don't know how they played at that level at the end.

      What you don't see is that injuries wore down rafa after 2014 and until then he was very much ahead in terms of h2h and title records.
      You should be lucky that injuries affected his body fitness to great extent. And that is why rafa will always be the greatest player in tennis because of the warrior spirit he brought despite facing career threatening injuries.

"big 2" what a load of bs lmao, thankfully not many ppl think that but man theyre braindead. its the same for people who say the "big 2" is just fedal or just fed/djok, cuz ive seen ppl say that too. and dont talk to me about head to head, fed leads on hard and grass. nadal just owns him on clay where they played way more matches scaled to how often clay is actually played in a season compared to hard court.

    How can you not include the point where Nadal, in 5th set leading a break 4 2 and serving, had an easy finish at the net for 40 15 and an eventual 5 2 lead in the deciding set and... misses it! Instead it went from 30/15 to 30/30 30/40 and a break. That was a match point right there (probably, but we never know with Novak :) )
