You know a match is good when Roland Garros puts 6 minute highlights.

Did anyone notice that he was down 0-2 in fourth set, and then won 6 games in a row... against Nadal... on clay!

From being 5:0 down in the first set to win 3:1 against greatest clay court play ever. Djokovic is extraordinary.

Ive been watching Tennis since the mid 80s and can confidently say that third set is the most incredible set of tennis ive seen. Stunning.

Not just a match. This was pure war. One of the greatest I've ever seen. We are so blessed that we live at the same time with these incredible players. Huge respect for both

Being 0-5 down against literally the owner of Roland Garros and winning in four sets is the best thing ever!!! *Djokovic's mental strength is just so so immense!!!*

Djokovic after first set: "And I took that personally."

The most brutal and most complete match ever played on clay and in tennis history. And the only two players in the world who have the technical, physical and mental ability play at that level, didn't disappoint. Diego Schwartzman summed it up perfectly when he tweeted, "do these guys even play the same game as us?".

It’s incredible how much harder they hit the ball when they play each other .

Literally speechless...can't believe he actually did it. The only person who can go toe to toe with Rafa on clay is Novak and he showed it today. What an absolute mark of a champion!

I saw Nole went against Federer in the final in the US open in 2006or 2007. He was 19. No one around was cheering for him except me. I feel something very special in him. No one knew who he was or where he came from. But he knew what he wanted. He was funny too. I will never forget. Look at who he is now. May God bless you for many more grand slams and a happy family!

Without a doubt, one of the best Grand Slams matches of all times.

This is one of the iconic matches in tennis history. Djokovic is a mental monument and this underlined that legend. Well done Novak, good luck on sunday.

When the match is so good the French president extends curfew to let the crowd stay and watch

Novak is just a monster. He punished Nadal’s backhand.

Everytime i'm bored, I just come back and see this highlight reel. After that, I'm once again satisfied and ready to continue my day :)

Level of difficulty: Djokovic's mental mode

I watched the match live. It was just god-tier tennis. Every point was breathtaking. Makes next-gen matches look like amateurs

5:42 That return was insane. Any other player would be lucky to keep the ball in play, but Djokovic hit with so much depth that he pushed Nadal back to the baseline. A defensive lob became offensive. Greatest returner of all time.

The most impressive win against Nadal on clay ever.

I have been a Federer fan for so long.... But no one can ever deny Djokovic's achievements... He has been a machine and is strong mentally and physically... Even considering the fact that the crowd is usually against him... This guy has done wonders now... He has beaten Rafa twice in Roland Garros... He is dethroning the kings in their respective Grand Slams... Rafa in Roland Garros and Roger in Wimbledon... Just 2 more slams and he will be known as the official GOAT... He still can be considered as the GOAT but he just has to lead in the Grand Slams and then no one can deny his GOAT status Bravo Nole

This will rank as one of Novak’s greatest achievements ever that performance was nothing but amazing 🤩

The third set was longer then a football match 😳

Everyone agrees the third set of this match was the best one in tennis history ever. And the rivalry between these two champions is the most epic ever.

What a performance from the Serbian guys?? He read perfect the match with his team, he was ready for everything, every shot calculated, he put pressure on Rafa, he played many dropshots to destroy the rythm for the Spanian! The best match ever for Nole, not because he won Nadal, but he managed to do that in his home with this amazing way! UNBELIEVABLE! Greetings from Greece!

THIS WAS EPIC. This was GOAT level tennis. They made Stef and Zverevs match look like amateur, recreational tennis. No disrespect to them, but the tennis was just on completely different levels.

Novak Djokovic...no more words needed....

That Djokovic backhand is incredible, so powerful and consistent.

One of the best matches ever!!! That third set is probably the best set of clay court tennis ive ever seen.

Speaking as an RF fan, I have to say: huge respect for the unyielding mental strength, the relentless defense, and the depth and intelligence of the shotmaking that Djokovic showed today. Going toe to toe with Rafa at RG and coming away with the win -- especially that third set -- you have to tip your hat to the man. I don't envy Stefanos this weekend. And who's thinking that Djokovic might very well walk away with a true Grand Slam this year, and the all-time Slam record? I'll never understand why so many Nole posts have so much anger, and so much insecurity running through them. I think we're lucky to live in an era with three of the greatest players to pick up tennis rackets have gone up against each other and shown us just how amazing tennis can be, and how amazing a sport it is that it has room for three such divergent ways to win. My heart is always going to belong to the all-court artistry and outrageous shot-making nous that Fed brings to the table, but let me the 1550th person to salute Novak today on this thread, and say that I will definitely be taking time off work to see him show off his wondrous talents on Sunday.

McEnroe said of that 100 minute set “You cannot be Serious”

Who is here after djokovic winning Wimbledon 2021 in 4 sets .

You just know when these 2 meet, it’s always going to be special.. what a match

At 5-0 I don't think anyone wacthing truly believed that this could be any different than last year's final. One man however believed, and he went on to win the match. Huge Congrats to Novak, his fighting spirit and nerves are unparalleled.

Have been a djoko fan since 2011.... Cant tell you how much joy it feels to see someone evolve to become the GOAT!! Mesmerizing experience as a fan in fedal era.

Novak is just in another fucking level man.

This was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Probably the best match on clay for years. No matter what happens on Sunday (even though I'm Greek and I support Tsitsipas), THIS was the real final. Huge congratulations to both.

Djokovic combines top mental and physical fitness. Hard to beat. One in a million sportsman...

Almost one year ago, and I still never get tired of watching this match. What an incredible battle!!!!!

I come back to this video every few days to relive the raw emotion I felt during this game & really appreciate what we witnessed

From a Nadal fan congratulations Novak Djokovic well deserved win

Watching this live was unbelievable. Tennis so god like they ignored the Paris curfew and let the audience stay. I felt like I was there the way I was jumping up and down in my living room. Just so good!!

This is a crucial match in the GOAT debate

Anyone here after yesterday's quarterfinals payback? 2022 Roland Garros, gentlemen! Yet another day when Rafa Nadal showed the world what a class act he is. Damn what a match it was!

Nadal never loses an RG match after winning the first set, they said…

One of the best tennis matches I've ever seen in my 30 years following the game. Truly unbelievable tennis.

Tennis at maximum level. NoVac is simply the GOAT

I grow up watching tennis 🎾 I love the sport Fed and Agassi Sampras Hewitt amd so on Fed was my favorite player Until Novak came about and then it’s over Still love those players but Novak is my hero champion goat 🐐 respect ✊ U work very hard and deserve everything

What a performance from Djokovic! The way he managed to force Nadal into playing defensive backhand strokes from set 2 on was probably the only way anyone could ever outplay a well performing Nadal at Roland Garros. Great game by Nadal too. In the end I think it was the slight mental advantage that gave Djokovic the edge over Rafa to win this one. A match to remember!

Браво Новак! Очень крутой матч. 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

Here I am, a year later. I only have words of appreciation for Novak Djokovic. I have always favored Rafa, but I love to be inspired by people like Nole as well. This was surely a historic match, that 3rd set was unforgiveable. Rafa is also a great warrior who have his everything, like he always did. Both are admirable champions and great people.

Never has the game been played with such exquisite perfection… What a generation this was

Gospodin, čovjek, Novak Djokovic. Dominacija. Pozdrav iz 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷

Nole is a different kind of animal, I just hope he still has more left in the tank for Sunday

Two amazing GREAT GREAT GREAT players. I could watch this forever!

I was rooting for Nadal (and later Tsitsipas), but Djokovic´ performance was absolutedly outstanding. What a fighter and mentality! Congrats, Novak!

What a match that was between these two absolute legends! This rivalry just keeps getting better and better! 💪

If you've seen this match live, that 3rd set was just mind boggling. One of the best sets I have ever seen.

This is one of the best matches between Novak and Rafa . The ability to weave his way back to win this match on clay really distinguishes Novak as a great player indeed .

One of the two most satisfying matches to watch, alongside Wimbledon 2019 final!!

I am so happy for Novak, such a smart and resilient sport man. Serbian people must feel proud having such a genius

One of the best matches ever. Big Djokovic fan but Rafa you’re an absolute legend. And Nole I have no words for you. You just completed the biggest challenge in tennis

Its hard to find better match on clay!!!!! Probably ever best! Thank you guys!!!!!

I’ll never forget this one. What an epic shootout for the ages.

Thank you Djokovic and Nadal for this historic match. Two legends. Proud of you Novak. You believed in yourself once again when facing adversity.👏👏👏

What a match! Hats off to both. One of the best matches I‘ve ever seen, both in very good form. Who would‘ve thought after the 0:5 in the first that Nole would turn this around. After this performance the Serbian deserves the title.

The best match of 2021 Roland Garros right here.

Tem que respeitar o Djokovic, o melhor de todos os tempos 👏👏👏🏆

Djokovic is a role model for any human...after losing to nadal in the same court 3/0 last year...and being 5-0 in the first set tonight...he won!!...what a mental giant he is !! I am federer fan but we must say that beating Nadal in RG and Roger in wimbledon more than one time is a big proof that djokovic is the GOAT !

Being a Federer fan, I still think that he is the best when taking purely about skills, and that he choked a lot against his biggest rivals, but judging objectively you have to say that Djokovic is the greatest of all time. He dominated every single player he faced. He beat Nadal twice at RG, Federer multiple times at Wimbledon. The guy is a machine

this sits right up with Wimbledon 2019 final for all time greatest matches Involving Djokovic.

Never in my entire life have i ever seen a player learn from his own mistakes plus the mistakes of all the former opponents of his opponent, and adjust to that, devise a gameplan around that and execute it to perfection,like Novak did. Novak literally learned from the mistakes he had committed against Rafa at RG plus the mistakes all of Rafa's opponents over 15 years.

The guy break the dominance of nadal in clay ..what a remarkable achievement. What a champion Challenger GOAT

The best match since Wimbledon 2019 finals and one of the best matches of all time.

Djokovic playing better than ever. The elusive golden slam may be his this year

The best match I've seen. Like him or not, Nole is the best play ever.

Djokoviic making me and the etire country proud🇷🇸🇷🇸

This was a WAR between two giants!! Incredible level of tennis, especially in the 3rd set. Congrats to Novak, man he continues to do unthinkable things, what a player!

Since 2011 Novak won 19 GS titles and Federer and Nadal 15 GS titles combined!

I'm a hugh Federer fan, but gotta admit the only guy who could ever stop the king of clay is Novak Djokovic. This must be one memorable match for Novak because he literally did the impossible. His ball placement is a hugh factor for his win. So well done, you are unbelievable, Novak Djokovic.

Novak Djokovic is the only player all time to have collected at least 6 finals in all 4 Slams

Fantastic decision by the president to allow fans to remain. This match wouldn’t have been the same without them

5:28 what a backhand! 👏🏻

Great match. The greatest rivalry of tennis always delivers. Well done, Djokovic

when he is in London, he speaks English, in Rome Italian, in Madrid Spanish, Paris - French… he also knows German. Nole is a kind of super human. He is alsso the best tennis player in history. Incredibly.

As a Nadal fan myself, I have a profound, new level of respect for Djoko. He deserves to surpass the 20+ Grand Slam titles no doubt!

They keep hitting winners to each other. Some of those shots are absolutely incredible.

Battle of absolute giants !!!

The best version I've seen of Djokovic this year... Well deserved win

Djokovic plays such an intelligent game. He pulls out the incredible when needed, but stays true to the fundamentals at all time. Only flashy when absolutely needed, and can be so at will. His talent is indeed one for the ages.

Amazing how Djokovic managed to do the unthinkable and beat Nadal like this in the French Open! Congrats Novak! Plus Wimbledon now, let’s get that golden slam, I’m rooting for you! You deserve it!

Never tired of watching this match!

What a petformance. I never expected Djokovic would have won this time. His mentality is out of this world. He is a brick wall itself. It was a craziest match

This was one of the best matches i've ever watched!! Well done djokovic from coming back from nearly being bageled

Am I degenerate for watching this now for the 26th time?

Never liked Djoke, don't like watching his game, but he's the GOAT, could wind up with 25 slams. Beats Fed on grass, Nadal on clay, incredible.

That 3rd set was incredible!! Hats off to both players!! Wow what a time to be alive.

Just give us 58 more of these matches! Best rivalry ever! Idemo breee🇷🇸

Fedal Fans : First Set 5:0,yeah Nadal wins the French Open again!!!!!!!! Djokovic: Hold my Beer........ :-)

The best match of the century for me.... May not be as tight as gripping but facing n winning against Nadal in Roland Garros is....
