- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- Even though Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have combined for 20 Slams since, their epic battle in the 2008 Wimbledon men's final remains a defining point in one of tennis's greatest rivalries. Federer attempting the unprecedented feat of winning Wimbledon for a sixth time in a row. Nadal hoping to finally break through by winning a non-clay Slam and avenge his heartbreaking loss to Federer the year before. Together, they gave us a final that some call the best match in tennis history.

Crazy to think that this was 10 years ago and they still are the number 1 ans 2 in ATP's rank.
Lucas Peruzzi really speaks to their brilliance
It's pretty cool to see that level of dominance out of two competitors.
shows me that there is no parity in mens tennis....
Buck Futtler Novak Djokovic has 12 'Slams while these two guys were around. Stan Wawrinka and Andy Murray each have 3. Juan Martin del Potro and Marin Cilic have 1. The last 10 or so years have probably been the most competitive in the history of men's tennis. There's plenty of parity in men's tennis. It's harder to win a match than it's ever been.
Stan Marsh, and the fact that these two guys have managed to be number one and two while in the most competitive era of men's tennis just speaks to them being the two greatest tennis players ever.
A decade later, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are still seeded 1-2 at Wimbledon.
These two men are eternal.
fishflake1209 They were not 1-2 the whole time. Đoković was number 1 for a long time.
Сава Стевановић Think about that. Djokovic is one of the five greatest players ever. His career has risen, peaked, and is now on the decline, all on a typical timeline for tennis stars.
Federer and Nadal? They were on top when Djokovic was a rising star, they were on top with him through his peak, and they remain on top as his career winds down. They are a constant in a way that is unprecedented.
fishflake1209 They didn't remain on top. They both had some injuries and drop in form, like what Đoković is having the last two years. Federer went 5 years without wining a grand slam. They both came back from that and started wining again, and I hope Đoković can do the same.
i would love if novak comes back, and i'm a nadal fan!
Сава Стевановић He is saying that 10 years later they’re still the two best. What is so hard to understand
Who’s here because they’re facing each other again at Wimbledon tomorrow?
Today now but yes me.
me
This randomly got recommended to me today 😂
Novaks the best my friends
Abhinav GUPTA aré you on crack?
This was literally the first tennis thing I ever saw. I was 10 years old my cable was off and this was the only thing on tv I became fascinated. Made a fan out of me.
Same here which is amazing how many networks around the globe decided to broadcast this match.
same
You picked a hell of a first tennis game to watch my friend! This was easily one of the best matches ever played, so dramatic, back and forth, both players playing out of their minds at times!
Kimar Origami i grew up watching tennis as well as football and basketball. easily the best match i ever saw with my own two eyes, although i was really sad to see Federer lose that match
I played tennis myself, and sometimes watched along with my dad for short amounts of times, but this was the first match where I was completely engaged and at the edge of my seat from the beginning until the end.
Now do it for today's Winbledon final between Roger and Novak. It was insane
Marvin Schmid it truly was
Agreed
Marvin Schmid it was anticlimactic.
Marvin Schmid it wasn’t of the same magnitude as Rafa VS Roger
Wimbledon 2019 didnt have the historical importance that 2008 had,neither it had the shotmaking or the drama
3:10 “young upstart Novak Djokovic” little did they know
They knew. Seeding a 21-year-old third is no joke.
3:03 *
Rafa has always said that the most dangerous player is Novak Djokovic!
Rosalie Bernard and he has also said that his biggest rival is Federer, same goes to Federer on Nadal.
I will always respect Novak the most because he came into an era where aguably the 2 greatest men's players were at their peak. Novak couldv'e won absolutely nothing, but boy has he shown them....
When you showed Bjorn Borg in the crowd I thought you were also going to mention that he was the last man to complete the French Open/Wimbledon double, which is what Nadal achieved here.
Crazy to think Nadal did it in '08, Federer did it in '09, then Nadal did it again in 2010.
Also, Borg's hair is amazing
Agassi had a good run tho with french open 99 win, wimbledon 99 final, us open 99 win and australian open 00 win.
Ted C
Borg definitely deserves his segment.
Dude was the first King of Clay and a pioneer for showing what was possible in terms of tennis technology
Channel Slam is a unique and extraordinary achievement. More men won the career grand slam (5) compared to channel slam (4) in open era. Not even Djokovic achieved it.
Now you have to do the 2012 AO Final (Djokovic v Nadal) - 5 hours and 53min!! They couldn't even stand during the trophy presentation.
Yess my fave match of all time
Greatest tennis match in history
@@Trepur349 One of the longest but not the greatest.
@@spevoljub what's the greater one?
@@Trepur349 The one in the title 2008 Nadal : Federer of course.
I will never forget that match.
As a Federer fan, I still catch myself watching highlights of it and wanting Federer to win somehow...
then the 09 wimbledon is for you.
absolute thriller also imo.
Same here. But now we have 2019 semi final win to calm ourselves down ..cheers!
Same here. This match still hurts
@@gend8585 But the final...
Hi, I don't know your name. I was aware of all the facts that you have mentioned in the video. But the best thing about your video is that you have edited, elaborated, depicted and described very beautifully. thumbs up to you and your team for this awesome video.
Regards,
Sunny
please do more tennis content! it is an amazing sport that truly doesn't get enough recognition. Please do the 2012 Australian Open final next where nadal and djokovic played a 6 hour match
Evan Xu Or Isner and Mahut's 11 hour Wimbledon match
Pupper you right about that
@M It Was a great match, but greatest of all time? Come on, Stop it... And Federer wasn't in his prime in 2005, with tennis evolving over the years Federer had to elevate his game as well.
Or they could do the 2017 Australian open final
@M 2007 AO federer>>>>>>2005 AO federer.Same for 2009 AO federer.
Tennis is my favorite sport. I like when they volley the ball back and forth.
Jeeves Anthrozaur I see what you did there 😏
I cringed so hard and then realized you were joking.
The only thing worse than someone posting an unoriginal stupid comment that has been overused to death, is trying to put an original cheesy spin on a stupid overused comment. You sir have failed the internet.
I like the serve-and-volley, I like the passing shot
And Anna Kournikova was sort of hot.
Tennis is extremely underrated
It's the 4th most popular sport in the world, maybe it's underrated in the US cause they don't have a dominant male player anymore
its stilla very fast growing sport.
literally every year the prize money for tournaments increases.
10 years later yeah it's gonna be underrated.But not now,not when the big 3's on song👍🏻
Valleyball needs more love
Underrated in the US, for sure. But the world as a whole loves it.
Rewind Sergio Aguero’s league winning overtime goal
Trym Tollefsen added time not over time
Greatest moment in EPL history. I can still hear the commentary- "Manchester City are still alive here. Balotelli....AguerrrOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
YES that is a classic
PLEASE DO THIS
AGUEROOOOOOOOOOO
Cant believe I saw this 10 years ago in NBC CLASSIC
The 2007 AND 2008 Wimbledon finals were both completely insane. I remember waking up at 5 am to watch them both.
Even though its overlooked, 2009 final where Roddick's almighty effort against Federer failed was also great. Maybe not a top 10 greatest final but surely up there.
When Nadal broke in the penultimate game, I have never heard a pub go as wild for a Tennis match in England. Not even Murray winning in 2013 topped it. Like you say, a real moment in history and I'll never forget it!
This was a tennis masterpiece. Of of the greatest sporting events I've ever watched.
Federer was outplayed tho.He only won poxy tie breaks
@@Dellen-Roger
lets not forget Fed had the momentum going into the 5th.
that rain really changed things.
Nadal has a history of collapsing going into 5ths
@@ma1ist lol you mean federer has a history of collapsing in the 5th
Why did this get reccomended to me while watching today's Nadal and Federer semifinal match?
Back here after nadal just won his 21st grand slam at 35 at the AO,what a champion...
The narration, it really brought home how momentous the entire occassion was. Beyond a mesmerizing 5 hours of tennis, this match right here, while they would never meet again in wimbledon after this (so far), is actually a turning point in their rivalry, and alarmed the whole world of the birth of the golden era of mens tennis.
This is one of the best sports video series on UA-cam right now. Top notch thank you!
Man I absolutely love these videos. I’ve watched them all. Please never stop uploading 👍🏼👍🏼
I'm not even into tennis, but I watched this because I loved the other eps so much and this did not let down. Thanks SB Nation!
One of the best ones yet! You've done so much work for these and it really shows. Really have been enjoying this seires keep it up man. Some of the best content I've seen in a while.
I remember watching this match and thinking, this has to be one of the greatest in history. 10 years later and watching this video give me goosebumps
These rewind videos are beautifully made. This is just great.
this is what I've been waiting for from this channel
Without a doubt the best series on this channel and one of the best youtube sports playlists ever!
goosebumps...literal goosebumps
such fond memories of their battles
I remember being a little 9 year old spanish boy who was glued to the TV that night, this was brilliantly done, it evokes many memories. Thank you.
i dont watch tennis anymore but watched a lot in this era. great video. much deserved spotlight
Bravo! Amazing video! Brilliant editing and superb narrating! Thank you!
I love how this channel doesn’t ignore any of the main sports. Usually certain channels focus on a particular sport or maybe two.
Thanks for doing this. I forgot really how legendary this final was. It felt like the climax to the great Nadal-Federer rivalry.
2008 was the best year in modern American sports. So much happened from the Giants beating the undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl (to say nothing of a great NFC title game), to Bolt and Phelps dominating the Olympics, the return of a Celtics/Lakers rivalry, the last year of the old Yankee Stadium, a classic Kansas/Memphis game in the NCAA tournament, Sid Crosby getting his first taste of the Stanley Cup finals in a loss to Detroit, this match, Spain almost knocking off a team full of NBA Hall of Famers with two Gasols and a millennial teenager with a mop top (I really wanted that to happen), the first breakthrough (not debut, but significant bump in stats) year for Leo Messi, the friggin Rays made the World Series, Josh Hamilton's appearance in the Home Run Derby, and the last major won by Tiger Woods in a legendary match against Rocco Mediate, where we found out he won with a stress fracture. I don't even like golf and that's pretty impressive. Just so much stuff going on. It seemed like history was being made every other week.
yes
but everything else sucked
2016 was a really good year as well. The only weak area was the super bowl, which came off a bit boring, but Peyton Manning went out on top. But besides that, the Alabama-Clemson football rivalry began with one of the best championship games, Villanova beat North Carolina with a buzzer beater in one of the most exciting games ever, Golden State breaks the Bulls win record, the Cavaliers come back from 3-1 to give Cleveland its first championship in decades, Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt reasserting their place as the most dominating athletes in their respective disciplines, and the Cubs erasing their 108 year drought with a 3-1 comeback that culminated in one of the greatest games of all time. A lot of excitement
What are you on about? Things happen every year....
but it was significant that year, think dude
SB Nation has the best sports content out, not a tennis fan but I'm enthralled by this
So happy to get a tennis episode of Rewinder! Great lead up to Wimbledon this year.
Best tennis match in history, this one got me to tennis!
Amazing video. The way it was constructed, edited and narrated, all of which created tension (at least for those who did not know the outcome of the match like me) was lovely :) Great job :)
Great video! I enjoyed this so much. Well researched and produced. Thank you!
You guys should do a Rewind of when the Average Joes Defeated the Purple Cobras in the final of the Las Vegas International Dodgeball Open
Forgot about this match. It was utterly captivating. Could hardly blink
Franco Harris. 1972 Playoff Football. Steelers-Raiders. The Immaculate Reception.
I love the series!! Keep up the awesome work!
i don’t watch tennis, but this was one of the most interesting videos i’ve seen. keep it up. you guys are my favorite sports channel on youtube!!
Woa! This video is just amazing!!
I swear I get chills every time he says “welcome to a moment in history.”
This series is awesome...keep up the great work
10 years and this still gives me the chills.
Amazing job mate, I trully love what ur doing !
if you're the video editor for this video... thank you. That was a beauty of work. From the vhs transitions to the glitch overlays and well thought out clip-to-narration sequence at the very end. It would mean the world to me to get to know who you are because I just want to applaud you for this gift.
Nick Yoon it’s Alex Hawley! He’s the best!
Thank you Seth!
These are great! Keep ‘em coming
Patrick Kane's 2010 OT Stanley Cup winning goal. Flyer's playoff incredible run plus the end of the blackhawks drought.
I love the essay structure to this video. More please.
2:49 “Federer probably has more to lose in this conversation,” with Federer looking slightly stiff and downcast gives me chills somehow.
Love these episodes, keep going guys!
My favorite series on youtube
I’m not a big tennis fan, but this episode was fantastic. Rewinder might be my favorite series on all of UA-cam.
11 yr anniversary!
and i witnessed this GREATNESS LIVE!!!
Just watched the 6hr match again today, Thurs Dec 28th 2023.
Stiĺl *CHILLS!*
Really enjoy this series keep it up
Thank you for taking my advice seriously and not stopping the clip the moment that the moment happened.
It could still be left on a little longer dont you think?
Yeah, but it's a start.
Never thought I'd see the day you guys do a tennis video
Chilling content ! Fedal beckons in a few hours now for the 40th chapter these two legends will face off at 2019 Wimbledon semifinal.
Impressive, you got me emotionally invested in a tennis match
These videos will age well as years pass by
I watched this in a packed bar in Sitges, Spain. The atmosphere was absolutely electric!
It was with out a doubt the greatest final ever between the greatest players of all time it was out of this world, extraordinary
This probably gave me the most nostalgia and chills so far
My Mum and I have always watched Wimbledon together. But this was the year where I really began to understand the rules of the game. I was 11 or 12 years old, and for that tournament to be cemented in history by such a brilliant, and groundbreaking final, it made me a tennis fan for life.
And with Andy winning five years later, I couldn't ask for more. To see Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray at their peak. I feel as if men's tennis has never been so highly contested
Rewinder needs it’s own UA-cam feed these videos are just great
Man, you're so good and the analysis is so detailed, that it actually made me give a f about tennis, never experienced that before, lol... Keep up the great work team! :D
Watched this live and I've never been a tennis/racquet sports fan. It was so LIT.
this is a crazy well done video, wow
Great Video, love these so much
Great video!
I watched that match… Pure gold!
The “Rewinder” videos are great! Most people never really remember all the history (or never knew the history) of what led up to whatever Big Event or Moment etc...Most of us only really remember the final outcome.
What a great video and so innovative!!
I remember this like it was yesterday.
Crazy how good these two still are 10 years later.
Tennis science very good explanation. Thanks
amazing video
Wow i got major goosebumps
That was brilliant, thanks
This is the best series on UA-cam
I know it's an oldie but you MUST just MUST do one rewinder on the Arthur Ashe vs Jimmy Connors of Wimbeldon 1975. It has all the conflicts one can imagine and then some.
It's a true classic and it must be remembered.
These videos are great
I didn't see the entire match but I do remember seeing how it ended and my goodness there was some great sportsmanship at the end too! Federer and Nadal were so dominant back then! I haven't been following tennis much at all today, but as far as I know I believe both Federer and Nadal are still pretty awesome!
This vid was awesome
Fantastic vid
So glad you took on board the feedback and gave us a few moments of the celebration
AxiomUK it was good feedback! I feel strongly that each episode should stop at the moment, but I’ve come to understand that “the moment” isn’t just the actual play. The immediate reactions of the players, crowd, and announcers are part of that climax
Completely agree, just those first few seconds is all thats necessary, continue the hard stop, its a great feature
Just in time for Mario tennis
Watched the ENTIRE coverage on nbc. Memories
Bravo guys. No matter the sport, u guys just keep on nailing it!
amazing vid
This is the best channel on UA-cam
DO the 2017 Australian Open next! It was quite possibly the most important match in terms of history of all time and has an amazing backstory with the two both slamless for several years and struggling in previous seasons.
nah, not the most important by far, they are both established. You just want a match where federer won lol, great match though i agree
P GB no. People were thinking Fed would retire soon, and they were both injured the year before. That tournament was a massive resurgence and Federer struggled through the hardest draw anyone has ever gotten, before somehow winning 5 games in a row after going a break down in the third. Wimbledon 2008 is no more important than Roland Garros 2013 would have been if Djokovic hadn't touched the net on that over head in the 5th set when he was up a break.
That 2017 AO Final was so weird. It was well hyped but the sets were so short. The only set that seemed actually competitive was the 5th. Tbh it just felt like they wanted to make it 5 sets for the fans so they rushed through the first 4. The nostalgia was nice, but it is not an all time great match.
the 2012 AO final Djokovic and Nadal was epic also
Doorman there were a few timeless points, but mainly I will always remember that match more than any other because of it's importance.
What a great video
This is my favorite episode of Deep Rewind
Out of the narrators he’s the best one. Awesome job.
