I will never forget watching this live… crazy it’s been 3 years almost
One of the greatest matches of all time, I'm very glad to see it live, what legends they are, amazing.. Still going ... Tennis at its best when these two gladiators go toe to toe...
I just hope one last battle, from one of the greatest rivalries of all sports. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Cant believe Djokovic has 3 Roland Garros titles now. Thought he would be stuck on 1 but then to win 2 years after this again was fantastic
The third set is hats down the highest level of clay court tennis ever.
not even close
Why specify clay? Takes the meaning out of your statement.
@@declaninc He says that because the ao final 2012 was a tiny bit higher level for the surface it was played on, and the surface there was Hard.
Greatest tennis match in history, in terms of pure tennis quality, especially third set
😂😂😂
Exactly, no doubt, especially 3rd set
In my 30+ years of following/watching tennis, I have never seen matches comparable to the games/points these two amazing players produced. They are in a league of their own!
Finally. Second or third best match of Djokovic's career.
Since my Dad past away I was left being the only tennis fan in our family. Because of the first communion of my niece we were together that day and so my mum and both sisters watched this whole match with me. Since then my little sister is a tennis fan as well. My favourite match ever.
RIP to your Dad
@@valentinoangelo3270 Thank you.
3:12:18 Le public français qui faisait savoir qui ne s'en irait pas malgré le couvre feu de l'époque. C'est tellement beau. Je pense que ça montre qu'ils savaient tous qu'ils assistaient à un moment de l'histoire
Even Macron said "hold on , let em cook." And allowed the audience to stay
Glad I was able to see this match by total chance, the performance level of both Djokovic and Nadal in this match has made a tennis fan for the rest of my life. Nothing but respect and love for both of these warriors. Idemo Nole!
Same here!
My favorite all time match in Roland Garros What a battle probably the best 3rd set I ever seen in my all life !
Djokovic having 24 majors and winning all majors at least 3 times is simply so inspiring. Class. Elegance. Tenacity. Djokovic is simply the GOAT.
It was 5-0 first set, and i was thought this was over. Man o man i was wrong. The level these two goats produced! One goat overcoming the other! Best i ever watched!
Novak from
Losing first 5 sets
5-0
To winning last 6 sets
0-2 to 6-2.
Novak is top 2 player in all 3 surface.
Best Hard court player
Second best clay player after Nadal
Second best grass court player after Federer.
@@athletes6724borg is 2nd best on clay I'd put nole 3rd other than that I agree
That 3rd set is up there with arguably the greatest set of all time. Djokovic managed to overcome Nadal of THAT level is one of his best achievement in his tennis career till date. Djokovic and Nadal were both spitting fire and its crazy to think that Djokovic came out on top at French Open. The GOAT has surely come a long way. One of a kind.
It might be the greatest set in terms of value for a Djokovic fan.
But there is no way you watch that set and make that statement abt it's quality.
Nadal gifts Djoko 2 breaks and the TB. It's not even a top 10 set of their own rivalry
@@John-lr4hpTell me you are Claydal fan without telling me you are Claydal fan.
@@lukscar2000 there is not a player in the world i dislike as much as Nadal🤣

@@ftuer1992 stop projecting pal
One of the best tennis matches I've ever seen. And that epic third set was also one of the best I've ever seen. Just pure GOLD 🤩🤩🤩🙌🙌🙌
I have been waiting for the full match for soooo long!! Thank you so much
@@TvRFReloaded where?
The special place this match will always have in my heart 🥰 I fell in love with tennis again thanks to Novak in this outstanding performance, his game and his personality on court captivated me so much that since then I've never lost a match played by him and I've started going to tournaments to see him play live as much as possible. What a player, what a Man. Thank you for uploading the full match finally.
Clearly a classic match . Top 5 match to watch in your life for sure❤😁🤩🇲🇫
For the people who question the level of this match I want to point out that Djokovic had 50 winners to Nadal`s 48 ON CLAY. That`s a huge number of winners from both sides on this surface AND don`t forget that they are the hardest players to hit winners against because of their speed and defensive skills. Massive hitting from both players.
The day that changed tennis forever, the Goat debate got settled after a thriller at Phillipe Chatrier
The GOAT debate didn't get settled .. Djokovic won 19th slam here and equalled Roger ,rafa 20th slam record by beating weak gen berretini in Wimbledon final ..but after rafa became the first man to reach 21st slam in Australia open GOAT debate settled..after that Djokovic jealous guy played every slam till now to get 24
@@Laland_1196 he has beaten Nadal at his home. Something Rafa never achieved in his career. Debatte closed, Rafas Corona AO 22 doesnt count
@@donvito7344 sinner also beaten Djokovic in his home ..so you would say the same thing .. atleast Nadal only lost to Djokovic twice but Djokovic lost to random guys in Australia open..
@@Laland_1196 well than Sinner is better than Nadal? And Novak is better than both? Bro Novak has every tennis record, hes the goat Theres no debate anymore, Nole is in the debate of being the greatest athlete of all time
@Laland_1196 it's more than just slams. Weeks at number 1, ye1, masters and world tour finals titles are all contributors. Winning all 4 slams in a row helps too
Absolutely historical, pivotal, amazing match!!
Definitely the best clay match ever!! From both quality and drama angle, this is a top notch match.
Greatest ever 4 setter matcg ever. PERIOD.
@@TvRFReloaded True. I get amazed at people speaking "Djokovic is not good on clay". Come on now.
@@natoskull2 Doesn't he have the record for most qaurter finals at borth Rome and Roland Garros? I know getting more titles is better, but those stats speak volumes about Djokovic's abilities on the surface.
@@cyrusatanil Yes.
Djokovic is the best all surface player of all time by a great distance so it's not surprising at all
The best quality clay match ever! Djokovic vs Nadal is the highest level of 🎾! This is a time capsule classic match!
We want this in 2024. Who is with me??
Ten years before this match, there was one of the best sets ever at the U.S. Open.
Ten years after their peak, these two are still great warriors, continuing their historic performance.
The one match that I always feel grateful to have watched on live despite the late end (India). Probably the last time where both Rafa and Novak went toe to toe against each other in a major (excluding the next year quarter as that wasn’t this legendary)
No offence to roger but these two are from different planet. Roger is a product of natural talent thats why he never felt the need to work hard so his matches are less intense whereas these two are similar they play each point as its a match point thats why its so intense
when u have one hand backhand its a lot of work. its just " rumor " that he doesnt work. for have this beautiful tennis, its a lot of work
Federer is nowhere near the level these 2 Goats produced... it's laughable
Merci beaucoup !!! Un match incroyable 🔥❤️
Finally. Been waiting for the full match for a long time.
3:19:20 the balls.... to attempt that shot at that moment....wow
Thank you for posting this match🎉🎾
That 3rd set... That's tennis at its very best
One of the greatest matches ever.
Thank you so much for this full match...Djoko❤❤❤❤
Finally!!! One of the greatest matches of all time, and the finest on Clay! Both played unbelivable, Novak at his absolute best taking on Nadal, was a thrill for all to watch !!!
The GOAT defeated the King of clay 👏 2 legends
2022 your goat lost like a amateur
@@lartisan627424 > 22
@@lartisan6274Typical of a toxic fedal fan. Considering that they played over 4 hours, it doesn't seem to me that he lost like an amateur, and I recognized that Rafa is the king of clay, and Novak is among the few who beat him in his favorite tournament, i.e. Roland Garros. And I'm not saying he's the GOAT, but the specialists and the statistics, so stop hating and respect all the legends of this sport
@@andiandrei9720 who watch Novak ? just people who bet money, The statistic is over when the rivals ( 2 ) are not around, its like make a sprint alone, of course u will be best . but he s legend yes

Merci pour ce partage! Le niveau de jeu dans le 3ème set est pour plusieurs le plus haut niveau de tennis auquel ils aient assistés (dixit Santoro)
Tennis is in safe hands with the next gen, but I truly believe we won't ever see the likes of Djokovic, Federer, Nadal ever again. The level these guys produced at 34 and 35 is just crazy. To be able to play at the age of 34 and 35 at a level that warrants discussion of whether the match in question should be considered the greatest match in RG history is something.
Thank you Thank you so. so so much RG for finally Uploading this Gem , and one of the Finest Matches of All Time!, and definitely the best ever on Clay!
This 3rd set is everything
thank you Roland Garros and may other grand slam youtube channels take this advice: show the walk out , show the points at their natural pacing (don't cut the time between points and games/changeovers) and keep the commentary on, this is what all tennis fans want when rewatching a match , thank you 👏
Por fin el partido que los Nolistas estabamos esperando.
Enfin merci 👍👍👍
The day when GOAT debat ended.
what about 2022 where your goat was ? creatinaaaa

Thanks for uploading
this one brought me so much joy, the Goat Nole doing the impossible......beating claydal on his favorite surface... Bravo NOLE!👍👍👍👍❤
YES!! Finally!
After the AO 2019 final this comes next as a special match for me
Only Soderling and Djokovic defeted Nadal on RG. Djoko did it twice, 2015 and 2021. Djokovic GOAT.
E se Novak não tivesse tocado na rede em 2013 ele também teria vencido
Exactly. Novak beat nadal in RG TWICE while nadal NEVER beat Novak at his best Slam, the Australian Open. Novak is just different. He's the GOAT 🐐🐐
@@Lucas-tc4ioNot to mention how many times did they play at RG and how many times at AO😅 Novak was never scared to play Rafa at RG and was never avoiding their meeting on clay in general
@@Lucas-tc4io he lost in 2022, with a Nadal at 60% , real tennis is on clay. its for intelligent people
By your logic sinner is GOAT because he defeated Djokovic in Australia ?
Most unforgettable episode of the entire season 49 of “The Season” TV series produced by ATP (This episode is also co-produced by ITF)!
Mr. Bert Critchley performed outstandingly as the character “Novak Djokovic”! This episode is some kind of a masterpiece that would at least worth a golden globe! 😄
Anyone who says Nadal was injured in this match is absolutely blind
Djoko did something gargantuan. Though rafa had a slight injury lingering and re- intensifying around, Novak defied the odds more of that he won the mental battle. Rafa had some lessons , it was one of the toughest loss in his career.
This isn’t the greatest match of all time but this match absolutely has the greatest set ever played in tennis history. Set 3 of this match had absolutely everything!
its their 2nd best set against eachother imo next to the USO 2011 final 3rd set
@@armadyl1212 But here the king of clay got defeated. In us open 2011, no king got defeated. Nadal was never a king of hard.
Please upload also the 2021 Final Full Match, Djokovic vs Tsitsipas
Despite being 5-0 up in the first set it was Djokovic who looked more comfortable in this match. Nadal was going for too much outrageous winners every time. He almost wasted that 5-0 lead and was facing deuce from 40-0 up on 5-3 game. This gave Djokovic a confidence to fight and play his natural game. Nadal also looked too much exhausted in the second and third set. That missed easy volley in tie breaker of third set still haunts. As a Rafa fan I can surely say that this was one of the toughest loss he had in his career along with Wimbledon 2018 & AO 2012.
Novak showing why he is the GOAT, respect to both
Rafa showed why he is the king of clay next year after this defeat .. respect
@@Slickk_007 no one is afraid of anyone or avoiding intentionally ..only nole delusional fans create this type of comment..if rafa afraided or want to avoid him he could have done that in 2015,2016 hardcourts and 2019 Australia open but he faced him ..also his injuries are the reason, he can't play in any tournaments last year and struggling now . otherwise he will face Djokovic in hardcourt is the truth
@@Slickk_007 your comment says that nole fanbase is delusional.. because you guys always say bad about other players and it's known for everyone butt hurt 🤣
@@Laland_1196Nadal's simply not good enough to advanced further in other GS to face Novak.
@@NamTran-xc2ip that's not the truth ..when rafa advances nole lose and when nole advances djoke lost ..that's sports
I love this match
Best match ever, much better than AO final 2012, RG Semifinal 2013 and Wimbledon finals 2008 and 2019...
Not really
Yes, a lot of outstanding winners from both sides. That is even special considering the fact that Nadal and Djokovic are two best defensive players of all times and they are playing on clay.
Crazy that Djokovic is responsible for 66% of Nadal’s losses at Roland Garros!😮
66,6 actually 😂
Nole is a mental beast. Imagine having a terrible record againt dopal in RG and still making yourself to play your best. Truly never give up mentality.
this 3rd set was EPIC tennis
What if Rafa had converted the SP in the 3rd set!
But then again,there can be a lot of if's. Novak was the deserved winner from where he came back after going 0-5 down in the opening set.
LET'S GOOOOOO 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
2009-2015-2021... A loss once every 6 years at a Slam. If this is not dominance, I don't know what is. ❤
How many times did he lose at the other three since 2009?
@@Ben6164 He has won 8 Slams outside of clay. So he's had a fruitful career. 14 titles on the toughest surface in the sport is an astonishing achievement.
As a Rafan, I have to admit this will probably go down as the most consequential match in big 3 history. I genuinely think had Nadal won this and extended his lead in the slam race to 21-18 he wouldn't have been caught until maybe 2024.
Amazing 3rd set tie-break. Nole got only 2 easy points from Nadal’s errors; he had to construct his own 5 points from winners or forced error. On the other hand, Nadal got 3 easy first points from Nole’s unforced errors, but he could hit only 1 winner afterwards.
I was there with my girlfriend, it was such an awesome moment when the curfew was supposed to take place at 11:00 pm but the authorities let us stay till the match finished. The atmosphere was amazing, what a match that was to see in real live.
Please add the 2009 Nadal-Soderling match.. There is no full match and extented highlight in youtube..
are you kidding me? nadal 1st of 3 loss in RG and we cant see how he lost or how to beat in prime Nadal.. Everyone can beat Nadal in RG in this age but not those days...@@Laland_1196
@@Laland_1196 in 2009 Rafael Nadal's prime time.. and 1 of the 3 loss and 1st loss of Roland Garros. Unexpected loss and Soderling played like Nadal in that match.. i just want to see it but no video of that match in youtube... its not boring...
@@deniz1420 2009 rafa prime ended in Indian Wells .in claycourt he just played 80 percent and loss to Federer in Madrid 2009 and his parents divorce is the reason for his poor latter 2009 season and Roland Garros defeat ..but soderling played well that day and Nadal not played like 2008 or 2010 that time
Новак лучший теннисист планеты🎉
by this match, Novak prove that he is one of the best player ever on the clay court.
pls schwartzman vs thiem rg 2020 qf
Third set is the best they played against each other
Finally
Upload Djokovic vs Khacanov 2023 QF, and Djokovic vs Alcaraz 2023 SF
This umpire is awesome. Three successful corrections in two and a half sets.
Both times Nadal been beaten here by Djokovic (‘15 and ‘21) its more him beating himself, worst szn in 15 and injured in 21. I would say the same had Nadal beaten Djokovic on hard court in 2017/ early 2018 with Djokovics injuries
When ever Nadal lose
His fans Nadal is injected or not playing good.
And Nadal never won against Novak in hard court in last 11 years.
2014-2024

5-7
Novak won 5 matches out of 12 on clay.

Grass
1-0.
Nah he was completely healthy here, give Novak his flowers
How can he play 4hours with injury lol?
Djoko's biggest win against nadal
He almost had him in 2022 as well. Novak has definitely figured out Nadal on clay.
What do you mean almost has him? Rafa won sets one and three 6-2, was then up 3-0 in the second set, and then won the fourth winning 5 of the last 6 games…
@@Olly_2024_Djokovic was 5-2 up in the 4th. It's the same as RG 2021, but Nadal clinched the 3rd set in 2022, just like Novak the year before.
@@Olly_2024_ djokovic lead 5-2 in the 4th set and missed a set-point. Weird of you not to understand, or maybe you are a Big Rafa-fan.
Nadal seemed out of breath at the end of the second. Went for crazy winners he usually doesn’t go for, and didn’t got the brake because of that
#NovakDjokovic just proved that he can beat Nadal on his favourite surface #clay #rolandgarros #nolefam ❤
Not gonna lie, the 2022 match was better. Never nice to see a match end on an injury
this match is huge and epic
sad to think some rafa fans discards it, saying "Nadal was hurt, it doesnt count"
Nadal made more errors in the first set here than he did in the whole 2020 final.
Nole el mas grande
Amazing to see how law of averages get you. Nadal was not himself during this day with so many double faults and unfroced errors with the backhand. So similar to how Djokovic was not himself against Sinner at AO2024. Seems like to beat them at their fav slam, one player has to be slightly off and other has to switch on the God mode. Even Novak described this as one of his top 3 grand slam performances ever.
Tell Nadal about this law because he really needs it. He NEVER beat Djokovic in Australian Open. He didn't even win a single set on Hard-court against Djokovic since 2013.
The law of average discriminate with Nadal. 🤣🤣
By the way i like more the older Wide camera view .
Tennis nearer the gods
djoko destronoou o nadalzinho 2x em roland garros seu palco preferido. ja o nadalzinho nunca nem cheirou o vencer o djokão em melbourne
Nole GOAT!
This match sealed the GOAT debate. Novak never runs away from Rafa on clay/RG on the other hand Rafa has been avoiding Novak off clay in recent years. They have met at RG 10 times but only twice at AO. Novak has defeated Nadal twice at RG. Nadal has never beaten Novak at AO.
If they met in Australia open 2017 and 2018 Djokovic would lost in straight sets to rafa. .
Haha good joke. Again my point is Novak was stopped most of the times at RG only by Rafa the greatest clay player. But the same cannot be Rafa at AO. Rafa hasn't given his best efforts at AO and WB in recent years. It's pretty evident from the numbers
@@Laland_1196Also, reg ur straight sets comment, Just another stats for you. Rafa hasn't won a set on HC against Novak since 2013. 9 matches 19 sets won by Novak
@@akshayshankar6370 thats why I mentioned his 2017 and 2018 years,you genius .. Djokovic defeated rafa in both clay and hard many times from 2015-16 so if they met in Australia or any hard or grass from 2017 -18 he not only take a set but beat him in straight sets that year is my point because that's nole weak year and Rafa prime year along with federer
@@Laland_1196 if if if doesnt exist said by Rafa years back

Nadal was changing his socks and removing his bandage when Novak tied it up in 3 straight games in the fourth set. And then Nadal's fans show up when Novak changes his shirt and shorts at the end of the set!? Novak played a perfect fourth set of 0:2. This rivalry will be missed.
Okay thank you, but now post nadal djoko final 2014
Novak Djokovic ❤
Probably the biggest match on clay. One of three at least.
If Djokovic could hit a decent overhead smash and dropshot Nadal wouldn`t stand a chance against him even on clay. But he can`t and that makes their matchup competitive.
Natal è pieno di tic comunque...

Rafa has lost 1 semi-final at Roland Garros. Novak has lost 1 semi-final at Australian Open. Both have lost 1 semi-final at their fortress.
Yes. Only difference is Nadal lost it against his nemesis. Novak lost it against probably one of the (if not THE) best stars from the "New Gen" of tennis players, same guy who is a lot younger than him.
