The day Nadal decided to never face Djokovic outside clay again 😅

Arguably the greatest Djokovic’s performance in a Grand Slam Final

I can understand the crowd reaction since they weren't expecting Nadal to lose in this manner, but atleast appreciate the brilliance of his opponent. What ball striking and accuracy from Novak. He was on a mission.

And this when Nadal was seeded No.2 in the tournament and defeated no. 4 seed Tsitsipas by 6:2, 6:4 and 6:0 in the previous round. Indeed a remarkable result that day for Novak. Maybe one of the highest standard ever seen on hard courts.

By that time I considered Djokovic one of the greatest of all time. At the end of this final I thought: "Maybe he is THE Greatest". Wimbledon 19 Final and 2023 Season confirmed me that this guy is the Undisputed GOAT.

This historic final match will not forgotten.💪🐐❤️🔥🇷🇸

Nadal at this tournament was looking so dominant n scary... But Novak just squashed his game so easily...

9:36 what a return point!

Masterful performance! Flawless tennis from Djokovic.

The most one-sided Grand Slam finale ever, considering two goats battle, that's unbelievable. And Nole showed similar performance and dominance against Alcaraz in the ATP Finals semis in Torino this year, when he's in a zen state of mind

Watched this live. Could hardly believe it. Possibly the greatest slam final performance of the 21st century. Djoko's the undisputed king of AO.

I remember this very clearly, Nadal was looking so sharp and better than Djokovic for the whole Tornament. Seeing him go down in 3 sets was unbelievable for me.

Masterpiece. A symphony of placid beauty !!!!!

34 winners , 9 unforced errors ...AGAINST NADAL ..u kidding me!

This is a true great final between two amazing phenomenal players!!not ridiculous final between Sinner vs Medvedev!!😂😂😂

Djokovics backhand was on crack that match 🤯

Outstanding tennis class by the GOAT 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The GOAT debate is so over.

Absolute domination. The Greatest of all time. One of his greatest performances ever. Truly the Goat.

I remember how hyped everyone for this match only for it to be an absolute blowout

best performance of all time

The Best of the Best in the World. Well done Djokovic 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸👌

Novak has not lost a match, against Nadal, off clay for almost 11 years. This is an astonishing fact.

Thank you, AO, for making a fair Highlights Video… nowadays ATP would make highlights of a match where Novak won and choose to show more points from the loser than from Djokovic.

No shame in getting demolished by GOAT

Watching this in 2023 and it's really noticeable how much Novak has bulked up in the last few years! His upper body is transformed.

Some say that Nadal is superior to Nole because of his superiority at Roland Garros, but the same thing happens in Australia and even worse, because Nadal has never been able to beat him here.

Nadal is my favorite male tennis player, but this is when I knew Novak was the GOAT - this was comprehensive

That's why Nadal avoid Djoker everywhere outside of the RG. Didn't win a single set vs Novak in 10 years on hard!!!

I’m here to make you look at 2:08 … just look at the moment Nadal hits the winner and where Djokovic was, he was at the opposite corner and almost made it, THAT’S CRAZY! Nadal’s shot was not high, so it was even faster than normal, nevertheless Novak almost returned it. That is how much of a GOAT he is, and now we know why he’s the best defender-attacker in Tennis History, both men or women.

The 2012 marathon was an aberration. Djokovic rallied but didn't didn't move to the net when the opportunities presented themselves. Becker taught Novak how to take charge during rallies by curtailing them by being more aggressive. This match shows that apart from RG Novak knows how to defeat Nadal with relative ease

The greatest athlete who ever lived, every sport included. 1 Djokovic 2 Jordan 3 Woods 4 Brady 5 Ali 7 Gretzky 6 Messi You get the point

Sublime game by the greatest

The day that Rafa decided he would rather pretend he is injured or lose to Ronald McDonald in 2nd round instead of facing Djokovic outisde of clay

Yet today Novak is on top of the tennis world while Nadal is broken down.

That last game was execution

2011 Djokovic was a menace and was seeing as one of the upcoming greats , 2015 Djokovic was the most dominant and complete of him and this version had the greatest season of tennis history of all time ever (far better than 2006 Federer and 2010 Nadal), 2019 Djokovic was the most scary version of him as he was mentally at his peak ( we all know the Wimbledon final). Now 2023 Djokovic is a legend and the greatest player of all time and still competing and being at no.1

What a dominant display from Djoko

Total dominance.

its a good thing Nadal isnt obsessed or frustrated with Tennis and such...

Rafa: GAHHH Novak: waa heh Rafa: GAHHH Novak: waa heh Rafa: GAHHH

This and AO 2016 vs Federer are his two best performances ever

Remember, Nadal is an all-time-great. Djokovic at his best is just something else, truely. As a Rafa fan I have to concede Novak is the absolute, this I knew since 2019.

Exactly what I want to see from this channel

TO steal a line from David Foster Wallace, watching that match was like watching an extremely large and powerful predator get torn to pieces by an even larger and more powerful predator.

I feel bad for Rafa fans, like c'mon Djoker, have some mercy

A beatdown. I was surprised how quickly it ended.

The match that made Nadal want no piece of Novak on a hardcourt ever again.

Couldn’t wait at the net for a second Rafa? Really needed to shake the chair umps hand then walk around the net, common courtesy to wait at the net especially when your opponents celebration is not long…

Real djokovic in this time when he come back after 2 years slump. He looks like very thin and sharp.

Djokovic was the very Djokobot itself. He made no mistake against Nadal.

Novak Djokovic = golden slam 2024!!!❤🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

The greatest quality Rafa has is even if he reaches closes to a straight-set loss, he does not lose hope, never says die...

*Djoker, the G.O.A.T., destroyed the king of clay court. The day when Nadal was crushed by Nole in a Grand Slam final.*

What a backhand from Nole, amazing performance

Clinical performance in just 2 hours. No wonder Rafa avoided Roger and Novak on non-clay tournaments post 2014.

IMPRESSIVE

Destroyed Nadal 😢

德约你永远是最棒的

A total demolition job

I mean, I know these are extended highlights, but the large amount of “highlights” shown of Nadal is kinda disrespectful to Djokovic considering the perfect tennis he played 🤷🏼‍♂️

PERO...PERO JUGANDO ESTOS DOS JUGADORES EL TENIS SE VUELVE UN ESPECTACULO.👍

NOVAK DJOKOVIC IS THE UNDISPUTED GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

CLASH OF TITANS ❤

Rafa himself acknowledged during the presentation of RG 2020 that he was thrashed when he met Djokovic in a Slam Final on the previous occasion....

Really hope these two are in the same 16th in the upcoming AO, so Djokovic can actually play Nadal off clay again. Ideally they play first round since I'm not sure Nadal would make it far enough otherwise.

Djokovic flatter more penetraring hitting has always been more suited to hard than Rafa who spins the forehand to much and Novak smacks that high spin on the rise. Rafa needs to adjust his forehand follow through and put less spin.

I think Djokovic had an appointment later that day. He didnt want to stay long on the court😮😮 Tennis lesson

I cannot believe that Australian Open was given the right to air an assassination.

hope they could face each other in an advanced round next tournment

Idemo nole ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Anytime I need motivation to beat my rivals, I watch this.

Nadal is really afraid to face djokovic on hard and grass courts. Love to see a djokovic and nadal clash in AO 2024 or Wimbledon 2024. 😂😂😂😅

Nadal's short steps and fine adjustments while he prepares to return helps him with uneven bounces on clay, where the ball often deviates from its initial trajectory. Novak's stretched postures and ability to hit very well while he is acrobatically stressed helps him on an almost geometrically even hard court, where the ball will always come where it should.

Absolutely destroyed Nadal

GOAT

Nadal really didnt offer much to turn the match around. Novak hardly broke a sweat. All Nadal did was hitting the ball harder and harder and with more spin but they were too predictable. Djokovic knew when he was gonna hit..

NOVAK DJOKOVIC IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

I didn't really expect Nadal to win, but it wasn't very nice to lose like this, he must have been so angry with this match that he took a very heavy revenge in RG 2020.

This is what happens when you take Nadal off the clay courts...

NOVA UN TENISTA MUY INTELIGENTE Y DURO DE ROER, LO CONSIDERO EL MEJOR!!!

Djokovic monstrueux😱😱

La Masacre de Melbourne

このジョコビッチは隙がなかった

King

When Novak is determined to win...u can see it in his eyes... top class agression & accuracy

The GOAT is clearly Djoker, no question about it

Does anyone know who the commentators are?

Nadal has won sets in the last ten years on hard court against Novak like me, ZERO. Imagine ten years and not a single SET, shame!!! 24,40,8,7,402+ and more coming!!!

This must be why Rafa has been avoiding Djokovic outside of clay for over five years now

Te amo nole...eres menos querido por eso te quiero. Cómo jugaste ese dia mamita... seguí haciendo historia.

Nadal played so well before the final that I thought Djokovic would have no chance to win on that day even in his own backyard.

Идемо , Ноле!❤

05:01 Eric bana ❤❤

Incredibile how in a FINAL a player can win 18 games and just let his opponent n2 in the world win 8 games

One of the most complete HC performances of all time.

Novak seemed to be in a flow state here. He was floating across the court and almost every shot of his was fast and deep. If you play tennis, you know it and feel it when you hit that flow state. It doesn't always happen although that is what every player tries all the time to achieve. Novak is incredibly comfortable on this court and when he reaches this state, no opponent can stand a chance unless they too can hit a similar state. And that's when you have a highest quality match which goes on to become a classic. Rafa played very well but I felt he was too static in his approach by continuing to go for angles which Novak knew was coming and was so good at handling that. Like Toni said after the match, Rafa must have started going more to the center so that Novak was forced to construct angles himself from the center and not from the incoming angle of the ball which would have caught him off balance at times and given Rafa some breathing space to construct a point his own way later. But when your opponent is Novak and you see him in such a flowing state, it is so intimidating and plans don't work. Some other performances that I can think of from what I have seen where it feels like they are in a flow state was seeing Roger in Indian Wells against Rafa again. Blew him away in straight sets. And as Roger said in so many interviews and in his book, 2017 was a year where Roger felt so happy and fulfilled when he won the AO 2017. It showed in his performance that year where he was in flow almost every match. And also, Rafa in 2020 RG final where he returned the exact favour to Novak and hit a flow state on his favorite surface and arena.

If you are watching nadal va Novak at AO you dont need to scroll to the end to check the result🐐

6:35 조코비치가 지고있을 때에도 상대방에게 엄지를 들어올린 적이 있나요?

Paliza y fin de la historia!!!
