This match was like a final, a 5 setter, playing against player who was unbeaten since Wimbledon. But, anyway I congratulate Medvedev for the Title.
Unbeaten?? If you're referring to Djokovic, he was beaten at the Olympics in the semi's and beaten again during the bronze medal match against Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain. So, Novak came into the U.S. Open with two losses.
@@KnowTrentTimoy Zverev ... Cincy, Olympics ... unbeaten since Wimbledon
@@armstrongtixid6873 👍👍
@@KnowTrentTimoy this is about GS !!!! Other tournaments less important.... !!! 5 sets matches it's in another level
@@TheNitrohp Not sure what your gripe is about but I understand all of that!! I know the difference between a GS and a 1000 tourney or less. Novak opted to play the Olympics because he was shooting for a Golden calendar slam. He lost both the Olympics (twice) and the U.S. Open. I hope you're clear now.
This was the match that did Novak in and he didn't have enough for the finals against Med. The one with Berretini was difficult as well but it was this one that basically took it out of Djokovic.
And Berretini looks like a really strong and 6' 5" dude who could play in the NBA.
Zverev should be ranked third
@@indoorbaseballleague2678 I hope Med took Sasha out for an expensive dinner to thank him.
No, his lost to Daniil was not physical, it was psychological. Look French open, he had longer matches but he won.
@@yanjieji8452 It was both physical and psychological.
Not final, but this is the Best match of USO
Yeah, very high level of playing from both players. But Zverev could do nothing after that 1st break on 5th set by Djokovic. Djokovic really played well in the crucial moments.
Alcaraz vs tsitsipas had more quality imo
@@ryansodhi1815 100%
yes this was by far the best match of the US. Open
That 53-shot rally... 🤯
Amazing
A future highlight for a teaser.
At wat time does that happen can u let me know? Thanks
@@tiruchendurguruvayur5648 17:27
Amazing how well Novak served in this match compared to finals, he basically had no serve nor return
It was just too big of a match, nerves will do it for ya
Zverev's backhand down the line is one of the most tremendous shot.
I like the way his ball goes close to the corner and become winner.
This was the best match of 2021, maybe second only to Nole/Rafa at RG, can't change my mind.
Rafa vs Novak had a great set. But that fourth set was not that great with Rafa injured and exhausted. Still his greatest performance there beating the greatest player on that surface.
Rafa nole the best one. This was second.
@kal Ke Wrong! Rafa was already injured during that match
@kal Ke rafa never give up ..His foot injured stopped his performance against him
@kal Ke rafa is humble that's why he didn't say execuses after loss like Djokovic and always praise his opponents that's why he won many sportsmanship awards
This was the match i was expecting in the final.
Sorry for Novak. Never loved him although really admired him because he did the invincible of defeating unbeatable nadal in those years 2011-12. But I really wanted him to win this as he has worked really hard. Feeling sad for his loss.
“He did the invincible”
@kal Ke Their overall head to head is only 30-28 in Djoker's favor overall... unbelievably close between them.
@@winterlogical Yeah, and had Rafa not been carrying a foot injury (bone problem) in his FO 2021 semifinal vs Novak it could well be 29-29 H2H with Rafa sitting on 21 GS and Novak 19.
@@mainemceachern1521 Excuses, excuses. Two can play at that game. If Novak hadn't had that elbow injury, he would have been at 22 slams now.
@@FlowerTrollSan Maybe. But the fact remains that Rafa has missed many more big tournaments than Nole. Starting from his first GS appearance at Wimbledon 2003, Rafa missed 11/73 GS and had to pull out of another 4 GS mid-tournament due to injury (2010 AO - knees, 2016 FO - wrist, 2018 AO - hip, 2018 USO - knees). He played through at least another 5 GS injured but was too great a warrior to pull out (2009 USO - knees + abdominal tear, 2011 AO - hamstring, 2014 AO - back, 2021 AO - back, 2021 FO - left foot). He also missed 6/15 year-end tour finals since he first qualified in 2005, as well as the 2012 and 2020/21 Olympics, due to injury. In total that's 15 GS forfeited, at least 20 GS impacted, and 22/27 "big" tournaments forfeited/impacted by injury (and this doesn't account for all the Masters tournaments he's had to miss). In contrast, since his first GS appearance at AO 2005, Nole missed 1/66 GS (note he also was defaulted from the 2020 USO). He pulled out of another 4 GS mid-tournament (2007 Wimbledon - elbow, 2009 AO - exhaustion?, 2017 Wimbledon - elbow, 2019 USO - wrist). Since first qualifying for the year-end tour finals in 2007, Novak didn't miss any to injury (he failed to qualify in 2017), nor did he miss any Olympics. So Novak has missed 1 big tournament due to injury, and had 5 known to be impacted by injury. At least 22 for Rafa and 5 for Novak, if not 27 for Rafa and 5 (maybe more) for Novak. Seen in this real-world context, Rafa's career / big tournament achievements are all the more remarkable.
To beat Djokovic in a fitht set you have to be playing on an other level ! Super match that was !
Ps: thanks us open fir extended highlights your the best slams in this field
If Novak had to play 5 setter, means he cannot finish match early.
One of the best matches in recent years ❤️
28:15 This is the first time I've heard such reaction from the crowd in a Djokovic's match
That match was the best match in 2021 us open
Was at the match. That game at 5-4 in the third, my goodness. As a diehard Djokovic fan, It was almost pure elation to becoming a nervous wreck descending rapidly into the abyss, back out to the highest of highs I've ever had after Novak's penultimate shot in the 53-shot rally, back down even quicker into the darkness, then shot out like a rocket at the end. Have never had a rollercoaster of emotions like this, only thing comparable was FO vs Nadal, but I was merely watching that one at home..
The shot djokovic hit a 3:40 was insane
I love you US Open. The coverage of this Slam is second to none. Can't wait for USO 2022.
Medvedev did not allow nole to be aggressive on his forehand , zverev allowed him . Also on most of the break points nole went down the T to target z forehand return and Medvedev most of the time guessed this and did a better job in return. You should never allow djokovic to go 5 sets if you want to win because his win percentage on matches that went 5 would be too high .
Medi was super aggressive. Right strategy
@@thetruthwillsetyoufree9209 he was fresh also
But Djokovic in final wasn't even at his 30% physically. That's it. I don't think Medvedev played at a special level, he made also many errors, double faults etc. The final was not a high quality match. I preferred the match Djokovic vs Zverev.
53 rallys was sick
I hope he rests well this year, he'll surely be back to the AO and do well!
Australia & its crazy mandatory vaccine "rules" is one country to stay away!!!
I was expected uso finals like this typ of match.
Alexander Zverev is one of the most under-rated players of this era. He is actually one of the best.
In both 1st and 4th sets Djokovic was overwhelmed by Zverev's agression and didn't have answers. The problem is that in order to win a 5-setter you need these 3 sets under your belt. In other sets that Zverev lost he dropped his level drastically and Djokovic with the experience that he has used these mistakes to his advantage. And this 5th set was a peak representation of why Zverev still lacks wins over top opponents in best-of-five format - how is it possible to drop the level of your game that much at such a crucial moment?
17:34 the Biggest Point of Us open 2021
Maybe longest, but not significance wise.
There are many significant points throughout the tournament mainly for the champions (Medvedev and Raducanu) on their road to the final and during the final…
Thank you again put on this match. I like it .
This USO showed how big of a role the draw plays in the outcome. Medvedev and Emma had the easiest draws and were really fresh for the finals. Undisputed GOAT Djokovic had almost a broken leg by the time he started the finals and same with Leylah giving away to Emma who had zero top 10 wins
So much excuses for the so called fittest player on tour😂
His SF against Rafa at the french was even more grueling and he managed to beat Tsitsipas in the finals on stamina and endurance.
Medvedev played really well obviously, he's probably the best from next Gen. Anyway even if djokovich is considered the fittest guy on tour I think is still a 34 old man who had tough matches in the tournament like the ones with nishikori, berrettini and zverev. I repeat Medvedev was unbelievable but if djokovich could have had more energies to spend, it would have been a more fought final against daniil.
@@niccoloalati2884 Novak had tougher matches at the french and still was fresh in the finals. I don't get the excuse.
@@SHVideografie it's clay !!! This is hard surface genious !!!!
@ Joseph D T Can you stop compaining abt draw?? If nt then jst go n check djokovic 2018 US OPEN draw. Its utter joke of draw 2018 US OPEN for djokovic. So easy and no competiton. Thats why if you cant give somebody credit then dnt degrade them. It was medvedev whom made djokovic look like awful in final. Thats it.
Zverev imploded in the fifth. He should’ve won it was so obvious. The commentator said it best “he’s hitting 130mph second serves. It looks aggressive but he’s sent a signal “I’m nervous”. He’s massively hoping for an ace to avoid rallying “
Hope he fixes himself.
Medvedev did the exact same thing in the final, basically just hitting two first serves to avoid rallying
@@benparsons4979 except Medvedev was winning the long rallies without problems. He just wanted to end the game faster and not let Djokovic get into a rhythm
@@Alex-zd8hj there's not much point in making the comparison when the Djokovic who played Zverev was at a completely different level to the one who played Medvedev.
@@benparsons4979 but Djokovic in final was done since the beginning. He had tougher draw and matches and matches against Berrettini and Zverev were the ultimatum, I think Medvedev had the easiest draw he could ever ask for.
@@benparsons4979 but Djokovic in final was done since the beginning. He had tougher draw and matches and matches against Berrettini and Zverev were the ultimatum, I think Medvedev had the easiest draw he could ever ask for.
This match basically took everything out of Novak after the tough matches against Brooksby and Berretini.
I don't know , I really think it was the pressure not the gas tank 😕
I think the heat had an affect as well ball bounce higher faster, he seems play better in night time sessions cooler conditions.
@@oanzyadat2264 I didn't think he had the legs to win it. Medvedev had a soft draw and spent less than 6 hours on court compared to Novak. The Olympics was a factor too
@kal Ke who cares about the runner up?
@@piner74 Being in the finals of a Grand Slam is no small thing. He won 3 Grand Slams this year and was a finalist in the fourth one. That's one of the most successful seasons in tennis history.
zverev had too much ups and downs in this match. In some sets he got high percentage 1st serve, and in the other sets the 1st serve percentage dropped a lot, accompanied with increments of unforced error. Djokovic really shines in best of 5 format.
Zverev's MIND so often lets him down in crucial moments!
Many thanks for thé vidéo
I have just looked at it again but this Time without pressure this Time 😃blessed to have Seen such Amazing battle between the Djoker and Magic Zverev
All ingrédients were présent
Thé crowd for the two players,unbelievable shots and rallyes and fight spirits, respect
Thanks a lot guys
I loved it
Djoko really played his best tennis to get the revenge
Sasha was brilliant but i am not amazed
🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you USO.
That slice though to break in the fifth......wow
finally a decent highlights
Everytime a player beats Novak, Fedal fans will suddenly start supporting that player which clearly says how difficult it is to defeat Novak 🐺
35 minutes?! And also uploaded so fast! Take a bow!
Novak: You leveled me. Brought me low, and rightly so. I now admire your greatness.
Zverev: WOW. You amazed me in the Olympics, and you amaze me now. Thank you for accepting your loss with tact and humility. You can't spell EXALTED without the letter L.
To see matches of that kind
No problems to wake UP at 2 30 am and a sleepness night😀😀😀
Great match from Djokovic!
He tired him out for Medi to finish him off in the final
That male commentator is annoying and arrogant AF, they need to put Johnny Mac on these bigger matches!
What a battle makes you wonder though if Medvedev played Zverev in semi if final would have gone differently? Novak did well to make it to the final with all the pressure on him and everyone gunning for him.
Please Hightlight Extented Alcaraz vs tsitsipas
Zverev basically choked away the 5th set
he's always had a history of choking in big moments in slams
hopefully Medvedev's win will motivate him to be better mentally
I can recall,twice, in recent times Djokovic came close to losing but won in the end-against Thiem in Aus 20 and here...opponents just could not land that KO punch....
Bravo No1e 👏🎾❤️
The best rally by far👌
How sad we can't see both of them this time around 😓😥
sverev is a viking, but, djokovik is a machine, soldier. in m opinion, sverev is a future number one
Zverev and medvedev are ready to take the baton. tsitsipas also
Tsitsipas is fraud
Raregoodds: Well, temporarily anyway.
we want full match
Novak was visibly tired, man was quiet as a grave during games, having no fun even doing magic 13:06. Always a bad sign for him.
That 52 shot Talley was insane
lol why do i kinda dislike these commentators, they are so critical of the players
Novak punished him with forehand down the line
Tactical masterclass from Novak. How could he have played any better? I don't know. But Zverev could play a lot smarter than this. It was Novak who made the court big and went first for the longline forehand. Zverev has the ability to do that as well, he just didn't because forehand duell compares favourable to him. But Novak did know that as well and took it clompletely away.
You are the best NOLE.
Bravo zverev
17:33 That's got to be the longest rally of the tournament
Sascha is playing best tennis
See tsitsipas when you lose a match you don't totally ignore your opponent.
30:11 that’s face🥺
This is prime Zverev his forehand was powerful, he was so agressive with it while his forehand seems slow nowdays
djokovic lost this event before the final because he had too many long matches :(
Apex always GOAT position
After a 5 setter like this high quality and competitiveness, no matter who won he'd lose to Med in the final after a short period of rest.
Man, as the biggest Novak fan myself, I believe that more than tiredness, for once the amount of pressure everyone and himself was putting in him at the Final was what finally got to him to lose that match, because it wasn't like Medvedev played lights-out tennis at the Final, just a high 1st-serves percentage is all what it took from him, and Novak drastically dropping his level compared to the quality, shot-making and 1st/2nd serve percentages he produced in his SF match, which was for me one of his greatest matches ever.
Medvedev was serving flawlessly that day !!
That was the single determining factor for me !!
Novak was under pressure in every service game of his due to that !
They robbed Djokovic of another USO title with another tough draw. Just pathetic!
Draw will be hard and sometimes easy
Nadal in any of his Us open winning runs neednt go thru such a tough draw !!
He just got one tough opponent in the end stages or none!!
Orelse he wud be standing with at most 1 Us open !!
Game set and match djokovicc
Los DOS 💪
6:09 huh
THE BEST 17:33
Zverev was just tired. He just couldn't keep up physically (and for his size it is understandable).
All the next gen should take classes from Medvedev
Djokooo!!!!
In future days downward trends...to No.1. Ex: Olympics and USO 2021.
...and 3 out of 4 Grand Slams in 2021. Plus a final here. Are you insane?
@@ryszardkilinski1238 No. Normal person. Don't worry. I said from today onwards (future)....that is the problems to be faced. Previous record, picking records are ok. No comments. He is a Great, Goat, Cow, etc.etc. Double ok. That's all. This matter... I said for all the BIG 3. RISK !!! Wait and see in future days. 【👍 👌 】.
Used to be back in Laver's day you could be small (under 6 feet) and compete in ATP in the strongest tournaments.
Now only Schwartzman and a smattering of clay courters can do it.
Sasha, Danil, Stephanos, Reily O'pelka, -they are all taller than Nole, Fed, and Rafa.
I thought I could better as I used to teach ESL and now a proud member of the CRS group.
"could spell better"
Djoko played his match as it was thé last of his career because hé wants a revenge
That s why hé probably Lost the final
He said that about the Finals match not this one idiot, and Medvedev just played exceptional, which is why Novax lost the finals. You Djocovid fans should stop making excuses and just see how well Danil played
@@djokoshitolympics3948 djokoshit 👎👎👎i was talking about thé SF and how great both players were a mazing
I talked about the final in previous vidéos
Your comment has nothing to do with video above
You do not seem to like tennis
Respect players please
The only worst thing about this match is the commentary
Novak is not the goat, he's the SHEPARD!
Such a quality match doesn't deserve 60 fps? My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined US Open Tennis Championships!
А нельзя повтор повторять только один раз?
US Open Tennis Championships
13:00
wow
Gillylnnit: Yeah, I know, right?
@@notsohandytim5090 ok
the difference is med hits flat shots on both side, and once in a wide top spin.
LN: Yeah, Zverev should be able to create more offensive outside his serve. He can't just rally away waiting for the error from this guy.
Alexander Zverev: he is the best
As Djokovic gets older he is not a 5 setter kinda guy
when the established pusher is challenged by upcoming pusher in pushing contest
2 días después se acabaron las risas
risa, el equipo de djokovic sabia que no llegaba bien físicamente y el mismo djokovic acuso el desgaste producto de la presión favoritismo, y lo acumulado en el torneo, un comentarista lo decía y notaba que la condición física de djokovic no estaba a tono para jugar su mejor tenis en la final. Y eso te lo dice perder en sets corridos, por mas bien que jugara medvedev que domino y gano, no hay esa diferencia entre ambos, ni de broma. djokovic nunca estuvo en la final o termino de estar, lo mal que jugo por su opnente y por el desgaste se noto.
@@Logan00710 Medvedev tenia los jugadores mas debiles y gano practicamente con saques mayormente en esas partidas. Luego llega djokovic con que jugo 3 horas contra zverev, berretini, etc.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC 🥎🎾💎👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Clearly, Djokovic has got "inside" Zverev's head 😁
meddy got into djokovic’s head
10:59
Jokovic 💪💪💪
22:01 Out no matter who you look at
You're nuts, right on the line...
Djokovic GOAT!!!
Zverev prevented The Golden Slam...
ahha comments one set away from championship match ))) haha americans believe it unfortunately he had lose the final (((
35:13 the commentator was right, Medvedev won the US Open just like Laver won it in 1969, Oh wait, he mant Nole pppppf my bad. XD
This was the match where the uncultured New York crowd got finally behind Novak, building from the Berretini match.
Any tennis fan with the slightest bit of intelligence knows that Zverev would have annihilated Medvedev if they played in the final.
U cant bet anything on Zverev.. He cud also play as bad as possible even on his greatest form..
