After watching this match live in 2014, I was convinced fed could never beat nadal at grand slam level. Glad I was wrong when 2017 came along. That was the most special AO. Love both those champs.

[@kareemwaleed2869]

Rafael nadal was unbeaten in AO 2014 the forehand as usual and controlling backhand and ball returns and serves and sliding in hardcourt

[@Whatever-gm3on]

I must have imagined the Final then….

[@gio_0210]

shame that rafa didnt win that tournament..... was simply in untouchable form

[@bubufubu]

Injuries happen. More often for him than others. A shame, indeed.

[@pushingyourownagenda9889]

It's because of his physically demanding​ playstyle@@bubufubu

[@bubufubu]

@@pushingyourownagenda9889 It's also because of his genetics.

[@DungxxHen]

@@bubufubu Lol, he's more fortunate than 90% of the tour. But I forgot his fanbase is married with excuses.

[@bubufubu]

@@DungxxHen Not when it comes to injuries. Have you even watched any tennis during the past 20 years? Oh, I forgot. The Djokovic fanbase doesn't do any research for other players and they only care about numbers and context when it serves their delusional narratives.

[@simonfeduniw1963]

Sucks nadal wasnt fit for the final. Wawrinka was in amazing form it would have been a great battle.

[@Ssagar304]

It honestly just sounded like an excuse because he was getting owned. He looked fine the whole match

[@masters.1000]

@@Ssagar304 He can't help himself. He has that cope mechanism when things are going out of his hands and needs to justify it by externalizing the problem to something that it isn't his fault.

[@tlefevre2918]

@@Ssagar304 What do you mean? Nadal was quite open about his back injury and it was very visible during the match.

[@bubufubu]

@@Ssagar304 If you're biased and ignorant, then Nadal has always been 100% healthy for all of his matches. These people have no concept of context and aren't capable of critical thought.

[@bubufubu]

@@masters.1000 Right. A player against whom, up to that point, he had never lost a set. Seven years. 12 matches. 26 sets. Three different surfaces (Outdoor Hard, Indoor Hard, Outdoor Clay). Not one set lost to Wawrinka. Only one set lost to Dimitrov in the quarterfinals of the '14 AO. Coming off the best hardcourt run of his career. Yep. Nadal is simply a guy who has never been injured and just conjures up excuses for each of his losses. That makes total sense. 👍

[@NLLeFa]

People don't realize that when Nadal had the legs he was an absurdly hard matchup for Federer. What I mean is he was able to counter punch every shot that Federer had for the majority of their meetings on any outdoor surface. Rogi had the cards on indoor hard only and on grass in 06. Wimbledon 07 and 08 were both 5 sets so we call it even. However, Nadal lost them legs, at least in terms of speed and being able to be so explosive from both sides. He had to change his style and go for shots rather than be able to resist from the baseline and wait for the perfect opportunity, he had to stay more aggressive which would never work vs Fedi, since he has always been the better shot selector between the two. Nadal needs time to find his shots, he needs to find the best positions and angles and everything. And when he has that, he is better than Federer. But both of them toe to toe, just shots wise, no energy and running, Fed takes it. Which is what we saw in 2017.

[@seturaj5522]

and mfs have audacity to call him clay merchant

[@boyeptrai3662]

VAMOS RAFA

[@SerpowerZX]

This is a repetion of roger federer vs Rafael Nadal of 2014?

[@animesh5298]

Yes

[@intermilan8934]

No , we are in 2014 actually !

[@John-pl8fe]

No it's from 1974!! Obviously

[@NBAballToWalls]

Amazing that Nadal was both Federer's greatest rival and Djokovic's greatest rival

[@whowantstoknow401]

Cat and mouse game, unfortunately, till the backhand got fixed. Impossible for him to beat Rafa with so many BH errors

[@renaudpontier]

Le score parait injuste quand on compare l'élégance de RF avec le côté brutal et sans finesse de Nadal qui, en plus, hurle à chaque frappe.

[@Snapyx06]

et donc ? il ne suffit pas d'être élégant pour gagner des GC Rafa est un joueur légendaire qui a deja prouvé de quoi il est capable comme Federer se sont deux légendes et les comparer serait complétement débile merci de ne pas commenter ce genre d'ânerie merci

[@renaudpontier]

@@Snapyx06 La comparaison n'a rien de débile. Elle est un exercice courant dans toute activité où il est question de style. Vous n'avez rien compris à ma remarque et l'ânerie est de votre côté.

[@Snapyx06]

@@renaudpontier non on ne compare pas deux champion sur ces critères le style de jeu ou l'élégance ne se compare pas chaque joueur a son style différent de plus on parle la d'un match ou l'un a été clairement meilleur que l'autre donc je ne vois pas ce que " le score parait injuste" Non il n'y a pas d'injustice je le répète mais il ne suffit pas d'être élégant pour être le meilleur souvent les plus acharné/guerrier s'en sortent mieux. Fin de la discussion j'espère que vous aurez compris que poster ce genre de connerie est complètement inutile et nuis a notre sport, bonne journée.

[@renaudpontier]

@@Snapyx06 Expliquez moi pourquoi on compare si souvent le style deux interprètes au piano par exemple ( Pollini et W. Kempff) ou le style de deux peintres ( Monet et Sisley par exemple), ou en littérature où l'exercice de la comparaison est presque une figure de style imposée (Racine et Corneille). Soyez un peu plus respectueux, même si vous ne comprenez pas la position de votre interlocuteur...

[@proenzaschouler4165]

Si je comprends bien seuls les gens élégants peuvent et doivent gagner?! Le côté sans finesse, n’importe quoi!!! Je ne sais pas quel tennis vous regardez mais Rafa est un joueur très technique, intelligent, avec un tennis IQ incroyable, qui a joué des matchs et délivré des points légendaires et iconiques de ce sport. Quand on n’aime pas quelque chose ou quelqu’un, il serait intelligent de ne pas commenter parce votre commentaire n’est pas objectif!!

Federer had the skill set. He had the creativity. He had the foot work. The right racquet. The right shoes. But he didn't have a resilient mind. He was weak. And that is why he can never be the GOAT.

[@Rory626]

You have no idea what you're talking about if you think Roger was weak

[@Leo-Bette.10]

In the final a swiss second maestro gonna crash that a** toucher a clay court roller and with " I am injured " when a loss in the edge.
