he wasn't injured, just tired. djokovic took him to the edge and was literally the last man standing, the 4th set here was very bad from rafa, barely moved.
This was Djokovic peaking on clay for consistent periods in a match. And even then it was still so close. On hard courts it's different but on clay Nadal is just that good
Nadal fans always claiming him to be injured whenever he loses to Nole😂. Nole has beaten Nadal 8 times on clay and lost so many close matches .If anyone can make Nadal sweat on clay its Djoker
Look at the amount of times they've played each other on hard and clay in the same period and then comment. Even since the pandemic, Rafa and Nole have played each other 4 times on clay and 0 times on hard. Nole was lucky not to face Rafa in his worst year (2017 Jan to 2018 June), while Rafa in his worst phase had to play Novak at RG (2015).

I still remember this was the match that sent Nadal into a deep depression for six months, he was devastated coz he lost this match to his most fierce rival at his favorite surface at the favorite tournament. It was a heartbreaking moment. Nevertheless, they have met 10 times here, Nadal has an 8-2 edge over Novak at the Roland Garros.

Lol still nadal leads 5-4 at major finals, 11-7 at majors. Nadal all finals against prime djokovic and prime Federer. Nadal could have won more GS if he was not injured so many times. Anyway, Djokovic won 23 majors. Congratulations to him and he is GOAT whatever it is. But you cannot degrade nadal victories. Still djokovic was not able to win Olympic gold for his country. That's enough debate is over. Nadal did it twice singles, doubles.
Greatest display of tennis ever on clay. Huge respect for these two legends. Just can’t believe that diehard Rafa fans talked that Nadal was injured. You either are delusional or never picked up tennis rackets in your life. He literally beat Djokovic in Rome finals like two weeks before this match. He just couldn’t keep up with Djokovic constantly rising his level. To win six games in row against Nadal in Paris is something only Novak could do!

IN THE NIGHT SESSION ON CLAY , is novak even stronger then nadal. Novak leads 3-1 against nadal on clay in the night session. ROME 2011, madrid 2011 and RG 2021 djokovic won: 2022 rg nadal won. I MEAN THERE IS A REASON WHY the rome and madrid masters is after the 2011 season not anymore in the night session
2011 Rome was not supposed to be a night session. It was delayed due to rain. They wanted an afternoon session. Madrid on the other hand has a roof so looks like that was intentional at the time.

Novak Totals of Major Records Novak 24. 96% Conners 1. 4% Roger. 1 4% Rafa 0 0% Novaks accomplishments are astonishing when you consider the fact that both Roger & Rafa have had TEN significant advantages to help them over Novak in their careers. The so called “objective” experts, analysts, commentators and media fail to mention this. Both Roger & Rafa grew up in privileged and affluent environments in Switzerland and Spain with proper facilities to learn and train. Novak grew in a poor war torn country with almost no facilities to learn or train. In fact his parents had to schedule his training to avoid constant bombing raids. Both Roger & Rafa had easy & soft childhoods with little or no pressure place on them in their affluent environments. Novak grew up poor and his parents invested all they had for his career. Novak knew at an early age tennis for him was a duty, not simply a privilege or for fun. He fully understood before he was a teenager the massive weight place on his shoulders of his whole family on him to succeed in his pro career Both Roger & Rafa started 5 & 2 years before Novak, which gave both of them a big head start start and many more tournaments to pad their records in the race for GOAT. Both Roger & Rafa had the the billion dollar industry of the big sponsors pushing the narratives of them being the best. Both Roger & Rafa had the backing of the TV commentators to continue to push the narrative of them being the best. Both Roger & Rafa had the backing of the Internet analysts to promote them. Novak was generally shunned most of his career Both Roger & Rafa had the backing of the court-side fans. During his entire career, anytime Novak played against Roger or Rafa, 90-98% of the crowds favored them over Novak. In fact, the hostile crowds many times constantly tried to harass, taunt, and disrupt Novak during course of his matches against both Roger & Rafa. The draws have been fixed to favor Roger & Rafa over Novak. Here are the facts. ua-cam.com/video/B6UPa4l4Xns/v-deo.html Rogers era of competition was far weaker then Novaks. Simply look at the facts. ua-cam.com/video/-dp2JgqvHVYI/v-deo.html 10. Both Roger & Rafa have had to compete only against opponents on the other side of the net. In addition to competing with Opponents, Novak has had to compete against the Sponsers, announcers, ATP, commentators, fans, governments etc. Inspite of Novak not being allowed tp play many Majors & Masters, and the facts he has been been cheated out of many weeks #1 by freezing the rankings and losing 2000 points by winning Wimbledon, he still has 96% of the significant records. Novak slammed the door on both Rogers and Rafas last chance to be considered the GOAT when he beat Roger at 2019 Wimbledon and Rafa at 2021 Rolland Garros. The media, commentators and the billion dollar sponsors have pushed the false narrative for 15 years that when it came to the GOAT…. Roger was the chosen one Rafa was the hopeful one. In spite of their false narrative, Novak is the only one! They can arrest him They can incarcerate him They can deport him They can disqualify him They can steal his ranking They can steal his points They can freeze his points They can forbid him from playing They can slander him They can lie about him They can taunt him They can harass him But no one can stop him. No one!
God Somehow give novak's FH arm this level of power this RG... PLS 🙏🙏🙏 GOAT tying with clay goat aint good for tennis. Its insulting. Very soon GOAT has to extend his lead. 🙏🙏
funny how so many Nadal fans pull out the "Nadal was injured card" every time he loses, especially when he loses to Nole........laughable................ that whipping forehand Nadal hit at 43:15 would be a winner against most players, somehow Nole got to it and stole the point breaking Nadal's spirit! they will never acknowledge Nole and his accomplishments...... Bravo Nole! man did he punish Rafa's backhand..
the different between the RG 2020 final and RG 2021 SF is the court condition. ON that 2020 indoor condition is nadal always the favourite vs novak =95% vs 5% . On that warm 2021 night session condition is novak the favourite. 75%vs25%. On cold 2022 night session condition is also nadal the favourite 65% vs 35% . In daysession condition on clay is ALMOST always nadal the favourite against novak 80% vs 20%.
Nadal never recovered fully from this match. This match ruined his body and may have even shortened his career depending on how he comes back next year.
Now novak has 3 titles on every single GS, nobody has done that ever!!!! Plus, the best at the Australian, and most likely the best at Wimbledon, let’s wait and see. He has a mental problem at the US final. His problem at Roland Garros is Nadal… hahahah the best on clay
I have a friend that keeps on diminishing this match because he says that Rafa has injured and that this is not a praiseworthy match. How can I defend Novak's greatness during this match?

@@BogdanPW641 I mean it’s widely known he’s been suffering from the disease since 2004, in fact a doctor told him back then that he would never be able to play high level tennis again
Thats absolutely 100% correct il go into slight detail here. Now before ppl start picking on me let me clarify im a fed fan. So having said that i know this indeed was a heart breaking loss for Rafans as they are called but this statement is so true. Ok Nadal was perhaps not 100% in this match or even in this tournament but he has won this thing many many times in the past with worse fitness probably. If you recall in 2020 he actually changed his shoes in between the tournament because his foot was bothering him then too. What was the result he won the whole thing without dropping a set and he whooped djokovic in similar conditions in the final then. Djokovic absolutely Raffled Rafa here moving him left to right again and again. Djokovic played perhaps one of the smartest matches of all time vs Nadal he out rafad Rafa on clay hitting his forehand wide instead of deep to Nadal’s backhand really stretching him out constantly to the backhand side which caused the injury in the end. Nadal may never have been stretched so much in Philip chatrier the way he was this year playing at this level. Conditions perhaps helped Djokovic here to execute that game plan of dragging nadal wide as Nadal’s ball perhaps did not jump as high as it would have, had it been hotter but then again go back to 2013 Novak nearly beat him there when it was as hot as could have been. I therefore Whole heartedly agree with the statement that it was Djokovic who pushed Nadal to His Absolute physical limit ending him physically in the end, much similar to that 2011 US open final if you want to compare. No one even mentioned Nadal struggling physically in that tournament as he cramped in a press conference and then looked completely done by the end of set 4. Everyone was praising how good Novak had played well he deserves the same appreciation here even More than that IMO. Nadal will always be king of clay no question but Novak has been the king of kings at times beating Nadal here and federer at Wimbledon.
@@jeanmarshfan respectfully, I’m referring to Roland Garros changing their match timings from day to night. It kinda nerfs nadal’s play style on clay due to the ball temp. Not taking anything away from Djokovic, but yeah don’t think he can’t beat Nadal if they played Roland Garros in the day.
It's impressive how much time Nadal takes to serve. It's obvious that the umpires go easy on him, because otherwise he would be punished with a point penalty every game. Honestly, it's very exhausting to watch this bullshit Spanish playing
Not Nadal's best. Too much on defense and he looks tired. He also doesn't like it when it's dark at night and not sunny, as it should be when playing on clay.
Sta radi ovaj Nadal? Mnpgo vremena trosi na gatanje: leva noga, desna noga, levo uvo, desno uvo i na kraju hvatanje za nos, kap da nije koncentrisan na mec!

This was Djokovic peaking on clay for consistent periods in a match. And even then it was still so close. On hard courts it's different but on clay Nadal is just that good
Nadal fans always claiming him to be injured whenever he loses to Nole😂. Nole has beaten Nadal 8 times on clay and lost so many close matches .If anyone can make Nadal sweat on clay its Djoker
@SushilaGupta-fr6wc we need to start using their own dumbass logic. Discredit all of Nadals wins by saying Djokovic was injured too.
Go Djokovic and good luck this year.
Hope he gets the title. Or at least gets some good points from later rounds
If you could do condensed version of this match that would be the greatest experience
Novak said that he had to leave his heart and his guts on the court to win this match. Novaks greatest ever match bar none.

i'm a huge Rafa fan i hate to see him lose especially in RG but this game is much better than last year's game in terms of quality
Thank you. An honest fellow

Look at the amount of times they've played each other on hard and clay in the same period and then comment.
Even since the pandemic, Rafa and Nole have played each other 4 times on clay and 0 times on hard. Nole was lucky not to face Rafa in his worst year (2017 Jan to 2018 June), while Rafa in his worst phase had to play Novak at RG (2015).

I still remember this was the match that sent Nadal into a deep depression for six months, he was devastated coz he lost this match to his most fierce rival at his favorite surface at the favorite tournament. It was a heartbreaking moment. Nevertheless, they have met 10 times here, Nadal has an 8-2 edge over Novak at the Roland Garros.

Is the injury because of Novak ?

Greatest display of tennis ever on clay. Huge respect for these two legends. Just can’t believe that diehard Rafa fans talked that Nadal was injured. You either are delusional or never picked up tennis rackets in your life. He literally beat Djokovic in Rome finals like two weeks before this match. He just couldn’t keep up with Djokovic constantly rising his level. To win six games in row against Nadal in Paris is something only Novak could do!
Rafa was clearly injured if not why he should withdraw from Wimbledon and us open that year.
@@vijayalalv3779 He always withdraws from wimbledon and us open with the slightest bit of discomfort because he knows he's gonna lose those tournaments anyway if novak is there lmao. Doesn't wanna lose out even more in the H2H
IN THE NIGHT SESSION ON CLAY , is novak even stronger then nadal. Novak leads 3-1 against nadal on clay in the night session.

I MEAN THERE IS A REASON WHY the rome and madrid masters is after the 2011 season not anymore in the night session
2011 Rome was not supposed to be a night session. It was delayed due to rain. They wanted an afternoon session.

Novaks accomplishments are astonishing when you consider the fact that both Roger & Rafa have had TEN significant advantages to help them over Novak in their careers. The so called “objective” experts, analysts, commentators and media fail to mention this.
Both Roger & Rafa grew up in privileged and affluent environments in Switzerland and Spain with proper facilities to learn and train. Novak grew in a poor war torn country with almost no facilities to learn or train. In fact his parents had to schedule his training to avoid constant bombing raids.
Both Roger & Rafa had easy & soft childhoods with little or no pressure place on them in their affluent environments. Novak grew up poor and his parents invested all they had for his career. Novak knew at an early age tennis for him was a duty, not simply a privilege or for fun. He fully understood before he was a teenager the massive weight place on his shoulders of his whole family on him to succeed in his pro career
Both Roger & Rafa started 5 & 2 years before Novak, which gave both of them a big head start start and many more tournaments to pad their records in the race for GOAT.
Both Roger & Rafa had the the billion dollar industry of the big sponsors pushing the narratives of them being the best.
Both Roger & Rafa had the backing of the TV commentators to continue to push the narrative of them being the best.
Both Roger & Rafa had the backing of the Internet analysts to promote them. Novak was generally shunned most of his career
Both Roger & Rafa had the backing of the court-side fans. During his entire career, anytime Novak played against Roger or Rafa, 90-98% of the crowds favored them over Novak. In fact, the hostile crowds many times constantly tried to harass, taunt, and disrupt Novak during course of his matches against both Roger & Rafa.
The draws have been fixed to favor Roger & Rafa over Novak. Here are the facts. ua-cam.com/video/B6UPa4l4Xns/v-deo.html
Rogers era of competition was far weaker then Novaks. Simply look at the facts. ua-cam.com/video/-dp2JgqvHVYI/v-deo.html
10. Both Roger & Rafa have had to compete only against opponents on the other side of the net. In addition to competing with Opponents, Novak has had to compete against the Sponsers, announcers, ATP, commentators, fans, governments etc. Inspite of Novak not being allowed tp play many Majors & Masters, and the facts he has been been cheated out of many weeks #1 by freezing the rankings and losing 2000 points by winning Wimbledon, he still has 96% of the significant records.
Novak slammed the door on both Rogers and Rafas last chance to be considered the GOAT when he beat Roger at 2019 Wimbledon and Rafa at 2021 Rolland Garros.
The media, commentators and the billion dollar sponsors have pushed the false narrative for 15 years that when it came to the GOAT….
Roger was the chosen one
Rafa was the hopeful one.
In spite of their false narrative, Novak is the only one!
They can arrest him
They can incarcerate him
They can deport him
They can disqualify him
They can steal his ranking
They can steal his points
They can freeze his points
They can forbid him from playing
They can slander him
They can lie about him

But no one can stop him. No one!

the different between the RG 2020 final and RG 2021 SF is the court condition.

On cold 2022 night session condition is also nadal the favourite 65% vs 35% .

Beginning of the 4th set - Novak looked calm almost emotionless, yet Rafael looked perplexed, no solution there. Then I knew Rafael was going to lose.

@@Olly_2024_🤡🤣🤣🤣Rafa- the permanently injured clay specialist 😂
Thats absolutely 100% correct il go into slight detail here. Now before ppl start picking on me let me clarify im a fed fan. So having said that i know this indeed was a heart breaking loss for Rafans as they are called but this statement is so true. Ok Nadal was perhaps not 100% in this match or even in this tournament but he has won this thing many many times in the past with worse fitness probably. If you recall in 2020 he actually changed his shoes in between the tournament because his foot was bothering him then too. What was the result he won the whole thing without dropping a set and he whooped djokovic in similar conditions in the final then. Djokovic absolutely Raffled Rafa here moving him left to right again and again. Djokovic played perhaps one of the smartest matches of all time vs Nadal he out rafad Rafa on clay hitting his forehand wide instead of deep to Nadal’s backhand really stretching him out constantly to the backhand side which caused the injury in the end. Nadal may never have been stretched so much in Philip chatrier the way he was this year playing at this level. Conditions perhaps helped Djokovic here to execute that game plan of dragging nadal wide as Nadal’s ball perhaps did not jump as high as it would have, had it been hotter but then again go back to 2013 Novak nearly beat him there when it was as hot as could have been. I therefore Whole heartedly agree with the statement that it was Djokovic who pushed Nadal to His Absolute physical limit ending him physically in the end, much similar to that 2011 US open final if you want to compare. No one even mentioned Nadal struggling physically in that tournament as he cramped in a press conference and then looked completely done by the end of set 4. Everyone was praising how good Novak had played well he deserves the same appreciation here even More than that IMO. Nadal will always be king of clay no question but Novak has been the king of kings at times beating Nadal here and federer at Wimbledon.
Still of the opinion Djokovic can’t play under the sun at Roland Garros
@@jeanmarshfan respectfully, I’m referring to Roland Garros changing their match timings from day to night. It kinda nerfs nadal’s play style on clay due to the ball temp. Not taking anything away from Djokovic, but yeah don’t think he can’t beat Nadal if they played Roland Garros in the day.
Empty seats for such an amazing match. Shame
Who is the commentator that says it’s gonna be hard for Djokovic to keep up physically with Nadal? Lol
