The reason why they hate him is that he did this over and over again
So true. And it was the reason why I started to love the dude.
Djoko crushed fake federer and nadal, and is now playing better than ever - maybe winning 2023. King Djoko.
Hate a player for playing unbelievably in crunch situations? That's truly crazy. I marvel at the guy for doing that. From grabbing victory from the hands of defeat. Incredible.
Right you are. He may not be humble, but honest, and not pretending being a gentleman like fraud federer, @@jamesthebond4904
@@PWPW2 what does fake mean?
Still the best return ever in the history of tennis considering the conditions :
- Match point
- First serve
- Most of the crowds are against you
- Against one of the best servers of all time
All true, but not sure Federer is/was the best server of all time..
He has hit way better plus that Federer serve was mega trash.
@@blackdogclinic602 one of the best for sure

DJOKOVIC WAS MUCH BETTER THAN FEDERER IN THIS MATCH, TOTALLY
OUTPLAYED HIM AND DESERVED TO WIN
@@Luchon20082010 if that net cord drops in its a different story that is the beauty of sports…. Djokovic still would of took slams he should be on 24-26 if it wasn’t for covid so he has defined greatness. But my comment stands..
@@thedayisnigh5886both noles return and that net cord was luck? Haha small differences matter :)
he got into Federer's head, riling up the crowd after making that cross-court shot, this game is incredibly psychological.
I say this as a Federer fan : his fragile gargantuan ego made it really easy to get him riled up. Djoko got to his psyche in this match.
@Simon Pegg fax. Federers ego took a massive hit after this match as seen by the post match conference. But it made him a more relaxed person afterwards
The net cord was so close that could of gone any where and we be having a different conversation

The most iconic moment in tennis history. The monentum shifted after this match and Djokovic started beating Federer and Nadal everywhere
As much people think that this was a history changing moment! It is not! history was already on his course, because novak was al ready dominant since the start of the year, and Roger did not enter this match being favorite, I think Roger was closer to stop history from happenin on his track! and most important, post to this match novak only claim 1 slam per year until 2015! so I don't think this is a relevant win as much fans believe!
He was already beating Nadal everywhere that year and was having one of the greatest seasons ever.
The 2010 us open semi was the realer momentum shift
There's only one man in the history of tennis who can SMILE with 2 match points down, against one of the most sucessfull player of all time, against all the crowd and world... his name? MR GOAT Novak Djokovic.
Covid-19 spreader...
There is only one men with ;
22 grand slams.
4 olimpic gold medals.
A golden slam winning all 4 slams & an olimpic medal in the same year...
His name is Nadal.
Also, there is an irresponsible player who tried to sneak into an Australian tournament while sick with covid-19.
For which after lying on his visa forms was deported and prohibited to play in australia for 3 years.....his name ...novak.

Priceless!
“Lucky shot I guess” ~ Federer after the match 😅
This is truly unbelievable.. what I love most about it is that you can literally see he was 1000% sure he'll win the point
@@Tennis_Expert Such a loserthink moment from Roger. Novak had done the same return winner at least one other time in the match - off the same look/serve. Don't think he ever fully recuperated from this! LOL
Are you not entertained moment
And Federer’s salty post-match interview make this even better.
True. As a Federer fan, it was hard to see him call Novak "lucky". Credit should be given where it's due, although disappointment after a loss is natural. Lost a little bit of respect for him that day.
That post match interview turned me off of Federer forever. He probably didn’t deserve that given the conditions and the fact that we’re all human but I was aghast at how little credit he gave Djokovic especially considering the respect that Djokovic had given Federer up to that point. It made me think of Roger as a sore loser and I started rooting against him at that point forward hoping that Djokovic and Nadal would displace him in the GOAT race. Never thought it would actually happen and I’ve grown to like Roger again as he aged and became more humble about his place in tennis history. At the end, he was an ATG playing in an era of two GOATs both of whom deserve to be ahead of Roger.
@@walterraleigh5915 excuses
@@cwsrealfan Only Novak deserves to be ahead of Roger. Rafa is a one-dimensional player who thrives on one surface and gets exposed on every other surface, and he has committed countless acts of gamesmanship such as medical timeouts, delaying tactics, and summoning opponents to the net to lecture them about their grunting (the irony). Add to this that he fakes injuries to avoid having to face his two biggest rivals outside of clay. Especially Novak, as in the last decade he has not won a single set against him on hard court.
@@viksinha5410 I don’t disagree with you. Novak’s resume is clearly superior to Rafa but to Rafa’s credit, he has won eight non French Open Grand Slams which is no small feat. That said, my point was more really that there were two players better than Roger who eventually landed ahead of him and I agree that Novak is the singular GOAT. Given that they’re tied for the GS lead, I try to be a little more neutral in my comments waiting for the day when Djoker is ahead by all measures!
Proof that Djokovic will be beast when the crowd against him
The one time the crowd was with him (against Medvedev at USO2021) he crumbled. It wasn’t because of the crowd but it’s funny that it happened that way. He feeds of the The crowd being against him
Funny that the shot was at 3:33 on the match clock too, halfway to 666. That shot was basically demonic in its effect. When he broke to make it 6-5 in the fifth set, one of the commentators even said, "he's possessed"
The crowd was against him at Wimbledon final last week and he lost.
@@gabrielametodieva8360the crowd was with him last week in USO final and he won.
Hits the best return ever in tennis history and walks to the other corner the most nonchalantly! Superb!
That smile from Novak at 40-30 says it all. He felt a comeback. 😌
Djokovic's mental strength is unmatchable
To me, It's the most iconic moment in tennis history.
It's when Novak became NO1E
Federer's handshake at the net... and his post-match interview say so much about him. Novak has always been a class above everyone else in the the tennis world.
Yes, except from Sampras.
@@zealvalharriah9723😂
Big Roger fan, but definitely a lot of sour grape on that one.
Ah yes the guy who broke 65 rackets and allows his family box to tell him if the ball was in or out always been a class above everyone else 😂
@@AstroSullyWhat’s wrong with consulting your box? If the tournament has a rule against coaching they’ll call him on it, if not who cares?
Those 2 points changed Tennis history 🎾🐐
Federer choked so many times with 2 sets up.
Those 2 points changed Federer...
@@naathnaath6377nope
Best return in tennis history.
Federer said "He got a lucky shot" -- but Djokovic was ready to return his shot. He was well positioned, and not off-balance.He just doesn't want to admit that he choked and couldn't close the match against the GOAT
Novak wasn't the GOAT back then
Just before this clip, he hit two terrible returns into the net to go from 15-15 to 40-15 but that meant he was calibrated and ready to go for the winner after that
Mind you, Djokovic was 24 when this happened. Such confidence against the biggest star at the time and the crowd ...
i know a 24 year old who has 5 kids.......LOL......he is a grown up not a kiddo....and at his best age......
Never gets old!!!!!!!!!
A watershed moment in tennis history which changed the course and discourse forever
0:07 - The most _"I'm HIM"_ moment in tennis history.
And the disrespect Federer showed him in the post match interview just showed how little he used to think of him as a competitor. Well hats off to my man Novak, he just won his 24th Grand Slam, the most ever by a male tennis player. You show them how it's done Novak! I won't forget his insane two championship point comback against Roger on the 2019 Wimbledon final too. 🎉
Because Roger was bitter that Novak was going to break all his records.
That year, Djokovic had to beat Federer in Semi and Nadal in final to become a Champion!
From 2-0 down to win the match against the best!! Novak Goatkovic for a reason!!
Djokovic is ice cool in moments like this. His mental strength is his best trait.
Djokovic has made a career of taking fed and rafas souls
Especially Federer. Beaten some much needed humility into him too.
🤣
I can watch this highlight video over and over again! It’s so satisfying!
I just happened to watch this, I haven't watched it in the last year for sure and I thought I'd look at the last comment to reply :) Greetings from Belgrade, Serbia. Идемо бре ! Новак Ђоковић понос Србије !!!
The BBC (I think ) commentator saying "He's possessed this Djokovic" remains my favorite commentary of all time. You can tell he was terrified by the mental fortitude on display.
In this match, or at Wimbledon? BBC never broadcast the US open
Loved the way he put his arms up and walked away. He knew and was letting the fans know that was one of the greatest returns ever. He was like, come on give me some love after that one!!!
That was Gladiator moment "Are you not entertained!!!"
It proves that Djokovic is a GOAT 🐐 .
This Game changed the HISTORY of TENNIS.
Unbelievable seriously unbelievable ABSULUTLY world top class performance by the goat Novak Djokovic ❤❤❤
Did it again in the final at Wimbledon a few years later, crazy!
The year the Tennis world got scared by witnessing the true GOAT come to rise. The rivers of tears that followed from that year till today are delicious...
😭
I remember this match after this much i become Novak fan,this changed his believe as well than went on to win many grand slam as well.Awesome match.
Federer was great...Djokovic is the GOAT
Whenever I run of motivation i watch this and the 40-15 Wimbledon Final ♥️
What's amazing about that return is he backed it up by winning the game!
Mind you it was 40-30 after that return.
It makes the return even better as he did justice to it by winning the game and eventually the match!!
If you've passed up 2 match points, your momentum & courage is shot, doubts creep in. The chances of a recovery is insanely slim
Bro was 2 set down and still smiling 😃 😮😮the GOAT djokovic
and since then djokovic lived in federer's head rent free
Djokovic is a beast when coming back from a match.
Who’s here after 23
Here :)

I was crying back then, now I enjoy it.
The moment I became a Djokovic fan❤
Legend is used to much in sport but Novak really is the real deal.
One of the greatest seasons in tennis history.
No man, I can't believe. He just played simple shots, no insane tennis showing that simplicity and being discipline enough to not make errors can can take u a long way❤
that relaxing smile of the GOAT fuel up my life ☺😎
Novak, Djokovic, the best tennis player of the world.
I've always been a Federer fan but it was that slowly won me over to Djokovic. I hope the U.S. Open crowds will finally come around to respecting Djokovic, it seems like he is never the crowd favorite there.
They did in 2021 tbh, it was the first time the crowd was behind him and he even teared up a little in the final stages of the match
NOT THERE..NOWHERE !!! BEAUCOUSE HE IS NOT ONE OF THEM !!! HE IS PROUD SERBIAN !!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👊👊👊👑👑👑 DJOKOVIC NOVAK- BEOGRAD, SRBIJA BREEEE !!! 🏆🏆🏆🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹
One of the best moments in Tennis history!
The best in Tennis History, GOAT Djokovic 🔥🔥🔥💐💐💐
Best returner of all time --> GOAT!
My favorite match ever! What a strength! Novak❤
After that match, I predicted this kid would be GOAT one day, that was back in 2011 and I was right!
Federer is so nice when he wins. When he loses he’s well, pretty mad
It makes more sense why that whole
Negativity started developing against Novak (including so called elite and establishment) . 2010 and 2011 defeats, both 5 sets with Fed having match points and then again in 2019. Novak is brutal, what a mind. Respect 😮
Really, I didn't see brutal against Alcaraz today in wimbledon 2023.

@@marielyjv5738 had not been by the crank (or whatever it is said) Alcaraz would win. Typical clown luck.

Let's get it. Bagged the AO
@@kakashihatake1029 Bagged RG now...
@@natoskull2 yessir
Wimbledon will pretty much be a given. The tricky one will be the USO.
Well…it wasn’t
That cross court forehand winner on the first match point will always be one of Djokovic most legendary points in his career!
I don't get tired of watch him in such clutchness. I loved the Commentators in that game.. but suddenly you can only hear the crowd and its reaction!!!!! I love this!!
Novak Djokovic is the GOAT. Let's go US, let this guy make further history. You were a free country, stay free. Cmon 💪.
Yeah, "were" being the operative word.
The best tennis player to ever pickup a racquet
After watching this video, I can simply say that he is a mental giant. He had shown that how important is it to be mentally there and not succumbed to what the situation is. Lot to learn from this video.
Djokovic basically showed Federer what to do when you serve 40x15 and have match point. Don't miss It.
The comeback of life!!! I miss these type of matches!!!
This right here was the day Djokovic believed he can be the goat and thus it begins .
Federer was never the same afterwards .
Exactly
Federer always chokes at crucial moments?
Tbh the previous year was very bad as well. The memory of 2010 USO SF haunted him in this one.
He broke him on this day
Federer won their next slam meeting at 2012 Wimbledon semi tho.
He became so dominant in this tennis era that nobody can come even close to his records across the bord. Novak the superior against everything thrown at him.
The ultimate king 👑 of tennis 🎾
❤❤❤❤❤ number one nole❤❤❤
“He got a lucky shot” ranks amongst the most sore loser comments in sports ever.
How did sponsors and the public fall so much in love with the fake Fed persona?
That nod at 0:09 he decided he wanted to be the GOAT
Yes. Do you know even when Novak was a kid... he always hated to lose... he ALWAYS wanted to WIN !
And that's what that nod tells.... He said to himself... fck I can't be losing this!!
Let him play US 2023
NOVAK truly became the master of the META GAME on this day.
I love him forever since then.
NOLE ❤
Federer looked super nervous during the 11th game of the 5th set😂
its a moment like straight out of a movie or something
He got into his head ever since. Federer kept choking on the big points.
Goat moves!!
Only 1 player can smile with that face with 2 against match point in a slam, the goat
Djoker saving a match point then raising his hands in celebration WHILE he still has to save another match point is insanely badass
Djokovic’s ability to handle and overcome pressure in crucial
situations is matched by Federer’s ability to crumble and fold in situations where he’s just one or two points away from victory
On that day, a legend was born, a young kid from Serbia facing 2 match points against one of the best servers with a hostile crowd to boot pulled out the best return in tennis history! the rest is history. Fast forward to 2023 and the goat Nole is still getting it done, still performing at peak levels beating much younger opponents cementing his greatness...........notice how much harder Nole was ripping those groundstrokes, especially that forehand those last four games...
Single most satisfying clip…second could be the US open 2015 final 😌🤩
What about Wimb 2019? 😅
And this is why Roger's fans hated Novak forever!
PS: In the 2019 Wimbledon final, history would repeat itself.
Federer's press conference after the match.
Disgusting is an understatement
“I feel like I should be doing the other press conference. To lose against someone like that, it’s very disappointing because you feel like he was mentally out of it already. Just gets the lucky shot at the end, and off you go.”
"Confidence? Are you kidding me? I mean, please. Some players grow up and play like that ... and they all just start slapping shots. I never played that way. I believe hard work's going to pay off, because early on maybe I didn't always work at my hardest. For me, this is very hard to understand. How can you play a shot like that on match point? Maybe he's been doing it for 20 years, so for him it was very normal. You've got to ask him."
Spot on. "The nice guy" Federer was "nice guy" only in the win.
Salty, salty 😂
It was a lucky shot though. Djokovic had nothing to lose, so of course he was going to try an all-or-nothing massive shot because Federer was about to win. He stuck his racket out and hoped for the best because that's all he could do. Great shot, but fortunate because it was just instinct. Federer was right to be annoyed.
It's not true, and a later Djokovic interview discovered this.
@@mcxix2742nah, he'd already done it twice in the match. You can see by his stance and body language, he was extremely confident with that shot. No luck whatsoever. Federer then fluffed his next match point, yet still wants to claim Novak was lucky. Novak just has a stronger mentality
The greatest tennis player of all time. Maybe the greatest athlete of all time.
It’s so satisfying to see this.
An insane comeback after HIS MOST INCREDIBLE COMEBACK FROM 0-2 SETS TO BE IN THE FIFTH
Federers salty handshake at the end.Says everything about Federer.
I still remember these match points which changed the history of tennis forever... From 1 🐐 to another Ultimate 🐐 Novak
the "lucky shot" / greatest return of all time that changed tennis history
It is without a doubt a very lucky shot. Shouldn’t have happened. But riding that momentum is the impressive part
I said "lucky shot" because that's how a (possibly understanbly) bitter Federer described it in his press conference. I call it "guts" :) @@nathanpierzchala9764
This ritern entered in history of tennis.
I dont understand people who are love Federer and hate Djokovic.
Djoker the best ever.
Imagine cheering your whole life for someone who keeps winning, and then a new player comes and destroys player of yours
The Greatest Return ever in Tennis !!!
And who is a GOAT!!! Idemo NOLE!!!🥇🏆🥇🏆🥎🎾
Simply the GOAT.
incredible mental strength and incredible accuracy. 👏👏👏
All those who say that Novak is always Lucky, they should know that Luck only favours the BRAVE 🐐🐐🐐
