Djokovic vs Nadal Australian Open Final 2012 HD

[@Sandrineworld]

To me, this was, with the 2008 Wimbledon final, the greatest final, ever. Plus, very few players could play that level (so much running and powerful ball strikes) during 6h...Respect and thank you gentlemen.

[@cristhiancarrillo1535]

The best tennis match ever

[@TennisFreakHD]

I think I agree!

[@haiderraja4533]

This, wimbledon 08 and 19. Funny how these three involve all three of them against each other

[@brodssn]

Wimbledon 08 is and will always be the greatest tennis match of all time. This is just the longest. Quality from Rafa in the third set was poor and Novak had a poor end of the fourth, start to the fifth.

[@DoubleOhTheG]

@@brodssn I agree. This match was just really physical. The ratio for winners to unforced errors was better in Wimbledon 08 & 19.

[@MrTonyMartino]

Nah, not even top 5. Great match, but overrated merely because it's the longest GS final.

[@joseleonidascorromarquez473]

Tremendo partido, super calidad, me pregunto si alguno de los chiquillos de ahora aguanta esa intensidad a ese nivel

[@zamessmeeth]

Djokovic has defeated Nadal three times at Roland Garros, but Nadal has never beaten Djokovic at the Australian Open.

[@christheprophet6583]

Twice in 2015 and 2021. If you count the Olympics, it is three.

[@ElvioSosaduarte]

En la época actual ya no veremos este tipo de enfrentamientos.que nos daban Djokovic, nadal y federer...se terminó una era dorada del 🎾. Eterno Novak.💪

[@joseleonidascorromarquez473]

Ya no hay ese nivel, solo queda Djokovic

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

The longest tennis match in the history of GS.

[@gyrmik8294]

Isner Mahut is the longest gs match lol dont tell bullshit

[@mattjagar6324]

Longest final**

[@alanledesma4945]

*longest final

[@maestro_jaah]

44:03 - the point you'll never see on flashy "bEsT tOp 100 pOiNtS" but the quality is just something else. Almost 6 hours of play and they produce something like that. This point gives you an understanding WHAT kind of match it was better than any other point in the match IMO.

[@cesar5665]

The greatest tennis match of the history of tennis

[@chrissoubibi]

Rome 2005 : Rafa vs Coria : the best tennis match ever. Every single point was a master piece. Just I N C R E D I B L E

[@cesar5665]

@chrissoubibi Never.

[@chrissoubibi]

@ that's my opinion man. ANd obviously you never watched this match.

@@chrissoubibi There will never be a game like this Grand Slam's final.

‏‪39:39‬‏

[@DoubleOhTheG]

18:23 & 39:25 Those are the key points that Nadal lost that he would like to have back

[@patcisz3474]

I don't like to criticize Rafa as his fan but for this match he deserves some criticism. There is no excuse for him to miss that easy backhand at 4-2 30-15 in the 5th set and this is one of the very few matches you can say Rafa choked.

[@DoubleOhTheG]

​@@patcisz3474 I completely agree. There's not a doubt in my mind that he wins this match if he makes that backhand

[@patcisz3474]

@DoubleOhTheG Yes, he would've won the match. Being up 40-15 would've been much less pressure than a 30-30 score on his serve at that point in the match. Also, this match actually had huge implications on history as now we know Djokovic has 24 slams and it is going to be very difficult for him to win another and Nadal retired with 22. If Nadal won this match they would both be tied at 23 slams right now.

[@jamesvanoirschot1219]

Equally Djokovic missed an easy volley at 5-4 in the fourth set tie break which would have given him match point

[@patcisz3474]

@@jamesvanoirschot1219 That was not nearly the same. The shot Djokovic missed was a very low ball close to the net which is difficult to hit and even if Djokovic got it over Nadal would've been there for an easy passing shot down the line. Nadal's miss was straight up an easy backhand winner with plenty of space and Djokovic had given up on the point.

[@gabrielhdez41]

watching this after the shitty sinner zverev final

[@mateusfraposo]

What a difference, no?

[@Cranecrutch]

Zverev is shitty but not sinner.

[@alanledesma4945]

I expected much more from the final, it was quite dull, there were few memorable points

[@helloworld2054]

No one can top Nadal vs Djokovic matches

[@davidganchozo2433]

Nadal de los grandes defendiendo, hasta que el rival falle, Nole tiene mejor saque, mejor resto, más técnica más calidad, Rafa es un toro Toro y mentalmente infranqueable.

[@Chosen293]

How did you find the broadcast for this.

[@marekfox301]

Epic

[@Logan00710]

clearly differences in djokovic serve and volley skills here, he was fear to go to the net and finish points quickly, novak has the game to finsih this match in 4 sets, but the lack of great net game and get free points give chances to nadal to take to 5 sets, Djokovic almost lose this final and nadal take advantage of djokovic weakness part of his game

[@BardhanProductions]

You gotta hit angles from the baseline though to create net opportunities. Which was neutralized by both guys being on fire from the baseline. Court coverage + ground game from the baseline left little opportunity for net play

[@patcisz3474]

​@BardhanProductions Back then Nadal and Djokovic were the best baseline players in tennis history and they had incredible court coverage which was obviously going to make it almost impossible for either one of them to come to the net.

[@taylorpack7705]

Rafa should have won this and Novak should’ve won French 2013
