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.

[@lukerne9260]

Tsitsipas wasn't number 4 seed

[@mihailopavlovic2027]

​@@lukerne9260You're right, he was 14th in the draw. Tsitsipas beat Roger that year tho 3 1. Nadal dominated that year in the AO, hasnt dropped a single set until the finals, and then Novak produced this masterclass. I tought it was gonna be a tough match, didnt expect this kind of beating..😅

[@annkit-xt2be]

Ohh yes. My bad. Tsitsipas was indeed seeded 14 and not 4. Thank you for correcting me. However, this does not changes the fact that Rafa didnt lose a single set in the tournament before finals and like you mentioned Tsitsipas was also playing at a very high level when Rafa defeated him. So indeed the level was pretty high for Rafa as well, until he met Djokovic.

As for Murray, Wawrinka they were tough competitors for Nole but mostly they were Rafa and Roger. Rafa only on clay mostly since 2013. Stan rises once in a blue moon and pretty much an average player overall. Roger was an above average in his post 2010 days but still overpowered Murray and wiped the floor with Wawrinka. Wawrinka's record is very pathetic overall. His 3 GS final victories were iconic though. His best surface is clay but the game isn't suited against Federer. His match up makes more sense against Nole, but for that he has to reach finals or semis consistently

[@surajl89]

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.

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

[@mangsublee4134]

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

[@dailyoptions7832]

Now we all know why rafa avoids djoker in all hard cournts

[@rohanvarma2836]

It's amazing how 3 years in a row (2017, 2018, and 2019), there was a hawkeye during match point

[@malikmuhammadqasimqasim4785]

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

[@go2ryu]

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

[@IlluminatiM06]

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

[@Saskobest]

Far better than 06 Fed? when a 34 year old Fed was his main rival during 2015 playing him in 2 slam finals and atp masters final cup? and he won both slams by out-grinding Fed in long matches(>= 3 hours) and won 1-2 points more in that US open final where Fed was horrible on break points?

[@DjokerFan]

​@@SaskobestDjokovic dominated Roger and Rafa in his peak year 2011 , went 7-0 against Rafa and 4-1 against Roger. Tell me who were Roger's opponents in 2006?

[@Saskobest]

@@DjokerFan Nadal,Roddick,Davydenko,Nalbandian,Ljubicic, all great players

[@DjokerFan]

@@Saskobest except Roddick and Nadal nobody is a great player. In fact Roddick is a hard court bully. Wawrinka, Murray, Tsonga and Ferrer are far better. In fact Sinner and Alacaraz have already surpassed the legacy of so called great players like u mentioned.

[@Saskobest]

@@DjokerFan Murray was great from age of 18, he was present during "Fed's era".No1 is talking about Alcaraz and Sinner, we are talking and comparing mid 2000s and mid 2010's Funny how Ferrer, Wawrinka and even Tsonga reached their best results at age of 30 during Novak's time, Ferrer is almost the same age as Fed and he wasnt reaching slam finals nor winning masters in his era.

Do you really think the whole of 2023 has been a fake injury?

@@Ben6164 Rafa has not beaten Novak away from clay since 2013, he has not won 1 set on hard courts since 2013, he's just lucky he isn't getting to finals or the h2h would be wide

Djokovic monstrueux😱😱

[@jeremieamsallem892]

A total demolition job

[@beats4hobner]

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.

[@mirkom4599]

from a technical point of view, that is a spot-on observation.

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..

IMPRESSIVE

[@kiki13121984]

Although I'm more of a Djoko fan, it was weird to witness 3 key details of the match: Djokovic overruning Nadal on every key point, Nadal grinding for every point and him mentally giving up most of the match (albeit I can't say if he just run out of gas early in the match or he mentally chose to "quit", with Nole chasing EVERY ball he strikes).

[@alemdardaral995]
