@zakaria djouzi 2019 was certainly not easy. I fact tougher than Nadal's draw. Zverev, Thiem AMD Steiff we're tougher than nadal's opponent except goffin and old man.

[@menon_ji4984]

@zakaria djouzi what goffin achieved in his career. Zverev was Better than goffin at RG 2019, Nishikori was a shadow of himself what he was in 2014, Sorry federer stands no challenge for Nadal in RG. Djoko faced more challenge than Nadal there.

[@Luis33371]

Due to the opponents, level and sacrifice he deserved the title. True fighter!

[@r.c.c.10]

It's an unpopular opinion but out of 2017-2019, I believe 2018 was his best year in terms of tennis, even though he din't end up number 1 as in 2017 and 2019. Furthermore he played only 6 months and recorded 45 wins, 2 losses and 2 in-match retirements!! His USO semifinal against Thiem is one of the greatest matches ever and I believe he would have won the tournament hadn't he withdrawn.

Rafael Mertin nope Novak was the best

[@MGood51296]

Nope sit down. Novak Djokovic was the best as evidenced by him winning the title. Didn't get dragged into marathons, instead thrashed all his respective opponents

[@hopy51]

@@MGood51296 Yes, because he had a joke of a draw. Nadal also would trash his opponents if he had to face Sousa and Millman instead of Khachanov (who by the way just destroyed Djokovic in a masters final) and Thiem.

[@MGood51296]

@@hopy51 You can only play who you come up against, must I remind you Roger Federer was in his quarter. Not to mention Novak thrashed both Nishikori and Del Potro. Once again, best player of the tournament was the man who won it.

[@hopy51]

@@MGood51296 Federer was playing the worst tennis of his career at that time. There is no surprise he lost to Millman. In USO 2013 Federer also played very bad and was in Nadal's quarter. But nobody ever thought Nadal's draw was harder because of that. I know Djokovic was the best at the tournament. Nadal actually played pretty bad tennis, his serve was completely trash. But it is also a fact Nadal's draw was much harder. I can't imagine Nadal losing if he had Djokovic's draw, even in the bad form in which he was.

Everytime when he see loosing he suddenly gets injured. Common..french open he can play as long as he wants but still doesn't gets injured

[@ANGELOFDARKification]

The match vs Thiem is one of the most underrated matches of all time for me. Both guys were absolutely hammering the ball and it was a shame there had to be a loser considering the quality of both's performance.

[@r.c.c.10]

One of the greatest matches of all time. Sleeveless Nadal is on another level.

[@インコ-l8e]

The finals tend to be appreciated more than they should be because the championship is at stake. If we only talk about the quality of the matches, there are probably a number of hidden great matches. This match is no different.

[@daniel6323]

lool. "turn up under pressure". Novak had to get Wimbledon to keep the roof up to beat Rafa. Rafa's career without injuries would have been miles better than Novak's.

[@kishenparekh9416]

@@daniel6323 what does keeping a roof up have to do with pressure? Novak was match point down against Roger twice at the us open and he came back to win both times. Novak had surgery and won only 2 titles in 2017, and he came back to win 3 slams in a row. Rafa couldnt do that. They've both had injuries. Novak recovered. Rafa didn't. Just the 1 slam apart from RG in 6 years for Rafa. That's poor

[@daniel6323]

@@kishenparekh9416 He knew he couldn't beat Rafa fairly so knowing he has an advantage relieves pressure off him. 2009 us open Federer beat him and the only other match I can think of is 2015 us open final where fed had only 1 set in total so 0 match points. Fairs for 2010 us open sf. look novak lost 3 consecutive rg matches to Rafa on double faults. After 2009, Rafa had an operation on his knee. He instantly got into the sf of the us open, was doing well 2010 ao until another injury and then won 3 straight slams. it took novak 18 months to find himself. If you take away their favorite surface from slams, Nadal ends up on 6 and Djokovic ends up on 5. Also 2005-2010: Rafa 9 slams Djokovic 1 slam- that's poor It literally depends on form. Think about how much misery injuries cost Rafa. He has competed in less slam matches and events than Djokovic and still has more slam titles. Also Nadal has more slam finals

[@kishenparekh9416]

@@daniel6323 Haha you are fucking dumb. Cant beat Rafa fairly? Hes beaten him 28 times you twat. Australian open final this year, he didn't just beat Nadal, he destroyed his dreams. Straight sets defeat for Nadal for the first time in a slam final. He hasnt won AO since 2009, what a joke of a player. You cant think of matches that fed lost? Well theres 25, including Wimbledon final 2014 and 2015, AO semi final 2016, Rome final 2015, Indian wells 2014 final and Indian wells 2015 final. Djokovic had elbow surgery, came back to beat Nadal at Wimbledon. Djokovic only won 1 slam untim 2011 because he was young, upcoming and still deciding on a racquet. Once he got going and hit good form, he was unstoppable and you cant deny his 2011 season is up there with the best. He beat Nadal in 7 consecutive finals. He's beaten Nadal and Federer at every slam, and beaten Nadal in every slam final apart from RG

[@daniel6323]

@@kishenparekh9416 Umm u said he won match point down vs Federer at the us open twice.... that never happened. When was the last time Djokovic won an olympic gold. He hasn't even completed the career golden grand slam where Rafa is the youngest to do so. Nadal is only one year older than Djokovic so I don't see your point on that. also that 2015-16 run was against poor opposition- Federer was playing well but if you compare 2015/16 Federer to 2006/7 Federer, he played shit. pfff 16 years of playing to only get one rg. Nadal's beaten Djokovic at every slam except for ao. Also, Nadal has the best win to loss ratio ever. 2011 Nadal started off injured again and that pretty much lasted till 2012. The only Djokovic performances I can respect, against Nadal, are his 2011 Wimbledon and us finals, 2012 ao final and 2019 ao final, where clearly Rafa was playing a million times worse than the rest of the 2 weeks (dw it's not an excuse, just an observation). You can't deny that Rafa could have won ag least 5 more slams if his body allowed it. Nadal had a 7 month long knee injury and came back to beat Djokovic at rg sf.
