It's interesting that despite all the scientific progress made in the last 30 years, there are still so many track and field records from the late 80s and early 90s. My guess is that the reason for this is improvements in doping tests.

It's kinda funny that people think that running a marathon in less than 2 hours is more important than other records. The unit of "hour" is arbitrary, if the day had been divided in 20 hours instead of 24, times would be under 2 hours since long ago. And the distance of a marathon is alao arbitrary.

When he says he's prepared to explain in 20 minutes or more about why this might be the greatest game ever, but the video is under 19 minutes long. Absolute Liar.

Anyone know what the game at 3:28 is

Dude, that is a brilliant analysis. BRAVO. It's very enlightening and appreciated.

too much fluff than actual match analysis

I think 2009 Federer vs Roddick is a close competition

I have just watched about 4 minutes of this but I already hate it for using miles and feet.

I was 9 watching this live as a big nadal fan while my mum was team federer, i remember the joy of that Rafa win. Now I’m 25 i still watch this game back just because of how insane the level, the script and everything was, especially now federer has retired and Rafa is coming towards ending his career. Just reminds you of the good old days, two gladiators fighting through difficulty to produce pure magic

lol CC publicly endorsed Nikki Hayley

Tennis is like MMA, but without the violence. Usually.

The biggest factor in road cycling is that whoever is in front has to work 40% hard than someone following as they have to move the air out of the way, That's why they wear such aerodynamic outfits. The face that whoever is trying to attack has to spend so much more energy than someone trying to defend has an immense impact on the competition as well as psychology of racing.

Get out and ride nick, ull understand

Someone is way too young to remember Borg v McEnroe. This isn't near that!

This match had it all. Only one to come close IMHO was John McEnroe winning over Björn Borg in... 1982 or so?

Nah, 2019 Federer vs Djokovic is the best Wimbledon's final ever

You nailed it, appreciate the video.

Listen , Student , who is most successful tennis player by any parameter ? Titles , time on ATP weeks as no.1 , Head to head with these 2 bozos , who is most complete inside and outside ? GOAT -Novak Djokovic . He came 20 days after knee operation straight to Wimbledon FINAL !

The word is "match." It's not a tennis game. It's a match. Game, set, and match. I'm tired of this recent trend of incorrect language. I'm referring to the thumbnail. Thanks for caring about the great sport of tennis. This match was magical.

Not the greatest final

Thank you for this video and The intro!!!! ❤

Every time the unstoppable force v. immovable object metaphor is evoked, I always hear and think about Federer as the unstoppable force and Nadal the immovable object. Interesting that you switched them.

As a federer fan, i hated the outcome feom a competitive stand point but in my older age looking back there is many legends in tennis. But my top 3, in no particular ordet are: novak, federer and Nadal. You could make a case for any of them. Roger and Nadal had a closer friendship and level of respect for each other. Novak wasnt as close to them

Greatest final ever , greatest heights of tennis played by the most exciting players ever

Thank you. I didn't know I needed this retrospective until I watched your video. My aunt, who I was closer to more than anyone else in the world, died just over a month ago. We watched the ATP tour passionately back when I was in high school, and this finals was one of the last matches we watched together while I still lived with her. This summed up beautifully why we were so invested in tennis at the time, and why this match was something we'd often come back to even over a decade after. Watching this felt like hearing her talk about the sport passionately again, and feels like a step to coming to terms with her passing. Thank you so much.

what is the 2nd and 3rd best tennis matches?

2019 final, best by far 🚀🚀🚀

This caused Federer to get even better.

Amazing vid!!!

Just because they endure pain all the time, doesn't mean they are masochists. That is a hugh misconception!

Hilarious how the dodgers have spent billions, and have 10 division titles since 2010, and the giants have just three, and somehow the giants have 3 more World Series rings than the dodgers in that time. (I’m not counting that fluke 2020 title)

Nadal, at his peak, was a force of nature. GOAT

Now finals are boring, Alcaraz just beat Nole in the first 3 sets.

Unmatched? That would be the 2014 Wimbledon final.

All of the best matches I have seen in Wimbledon include Federer losing for some reason and it really irks me.

Excellent video bro 🎉

Remember being blown away by the level of play these two warriors kept rising to. Very good analysis Sir, well done.

beginning of 2005 he didnt make aus open final

The match that had everything: The top 2, 3rd consecutive final, all climates; Sun, wind, rain and darkness thrown in as they performed under high mental pressure and still were able to exhibit the highest precision tennis from start to finish! 👏

Platitudes, generalizations, and cliches are much less interesting than actual insights and live topics. We like to learn something new about Caitlin clark, or get an insight into a Hot topic like her exclusion from the Olympic team and possibly how Dawn Staley has been behind the curtain of a lot of the auntie Clark sentiment.

never understood why folks call them "riders"?!! We're...CYCLISTS :-)))

Very interesting

This is by far not the best tennis match. But it actually shows why Fedal fans dislike Djokovic so much

Check out 2001 Wimbledon, a crazy story

Mate, you need to play squash

The great memories we have of FEDEX and RAFA dawg, stunning performances from these LEGENDS..thx guys🎾💚

good video, 2 points of advice. - look at the camera more when you cut to yourself - include score in clips , and preferably the winning shot of the sets

I rode my heavily loaded bike from the Atlantic to the Pacific along the US/Canadian border. The ride entailed a lot of emotions, pain, and uncertainty. I had lifelong surpluses of all 3 before starting, so I was good. Most commenters missed the part about adjusting and adapting to pain rather than merely suffering or enduring it. That's a missed opportunity for reflection. I'd like to hear about the mental training in which the good doctor coaches his clients. Perhaps I'll try to search up a video or article by or about him.

Agree entirely. Mt wife and I were out of town watching this. We had to check out of the beach house so we stopped watching. Drove 2 hours home and it was still going! Such a classic. I really regret not seeing them in person. Won’t make same mistake with this next gen

Fed had mostly short rallies he couldn't return deep from corners with his one handed backhand ..When u watch djoki/ nadal that was some monster playing both having 2 handed backhands..Fed had no chance agaisnt nadal/djoki only winning 33% of his GS mataches agaisnt both!!! Same with only winning 33% of his GS finals too!! Fed was weak mentally, didn't think when he played and never evolved his sqaush game
