That's why Nole always saying that Rafa is his bigest rival of all time.

[@prometheussama3838]

And HE is

[@quesee08]

Not only the level of tennis is top notch, the physical aspect of these games are also top notch. This is the most difficult in men tennis. Clay and against Nadal must be the ultimate challenge

[@ball_a29000]

That Madrid match was EPIC TENNIS.

[@NLLeFa]

People sleep on 2007-09 Djokovic tbh. He was good, just overshadowed by Fed and Rafa at that time. Novak won masters 1000 titles on both surfaces, he won the atp finals (named masters cup at that time), AO and was beating all the best players here and there. It's just that he truly introduced himself in 2011, but was always good to begin with.

[@natoskull2]

He was good, but still had the gluten intolerance which he treated just middle season of the next year by changing his diet. So he wasn't still the fitness beast he achieved to be in 2011, free of that condition.

[@Luiz-nb3uz]

He was amazing, in 2008 Sampras talked for the first time about "Big3" before wimbledon

[@MalekAhmed-kz3zu]

@@Luiz-nb3uz Yes, I thought the term “Big Three” was after 2011, but it turned out that it was since mid-2008

[@quesee08]

Most of Djokovic titles came after 2010 where his reign started. From 2003-2010, its mostly Fed and Nadal rivalry ! You can argue Djokovic timed his rise

[@Mark-ut5oq]

He was good, but not that good. don’t twist it. He has terrible fitness and a WTA serve.

[@chennis134]

It's the perfect formula for long matches - two servers who take a long time to serve, two amazing tennis players who can defend well and sustain long rallies, and two opponents who are similar in skill to create games with multiple deuces

[@flaviencrozier]

And then, in Roland-Garros, Philipp Kohlschreiber upset Djokovic in straight sets in the third round and Robin Soderling upset Nadal in the fourth round. Crazy !

[@Jack-pl2he]

Totally wrong order. The Rom Masters was 2 weeks earlier than the Madrid Masters in 2009. In 2009 and 2010 Rom was taken place before Madrid than they change the order in 2011!

[@ppv1780]

Its very interesting how he changed and improved his forehand from 2009 to 2010. You can see 2009 Nadal has a much wider preparation, not really going down. 2010 Looks like the classic Nadal forehand. Much lower preparation and closer to the body.

[@DjokovicFan]

Madrid was after Rome in 2009, you should have put it last.

The intensity of these two players... It's practically as if they were boxing. What a rivalry!

[@sugarpit2002]

Que maravilla de partidos,que grandes jugadores y que suerte tengo de haberlos conocido y disfrutado

[@Goldenemeritusv]

Amazing... probably the best season on clay for Rafa, three in a row and it was the only year that Federer won Roland Garros. Tennis is unpredictable.

[@thebigmonstaandy6644]

May be he played 2 much before Roland Garros

[@truthseekertitan3986]

It wasn't the best year on Rafa by a long shot. Rafa was mentally dealing with his parents' divorce which can be truly devastating to anyone. Next year he proved what he can truly do on clay i.e. clean sweep Clay Slam (winning everything in the clay season).

[@davidlerer5680]

these guys really just wore the same outfits the whole clay season

[@NR-ov6po]

The year when I believed djoker gonna never settle down as #3 behind fedal & wished he would complete the career slam & win 10 slams. 15 yrs later it feels great to see him became the 🐐 & also his amazing rivalry with God Of Clay 🔥❤

Did the greatest ever lose 9 consecutive matches on hard courts against his great rival, Novak, without winning a single set? Did the greatest ever lose 7 consecutive finals on all surfaces to his great rival, Novak? Does the greatest ever have 22 majors while his great rival Novak has 24? Does the greatest ever have zero titles in ATP Finals while his great rival, Novak, has 7 titles? Yes, and more. But of course, Nadal's fans live in parallel universes and alternative histories

[@tennis-man22]

@@MalekAhmed-kz3zu Anyone who has enough braincells can really make out that Rafa is truly the best. His peak was sandwiched between Federer's and Djokovic's, he never got his time to statpad where no other goat was there to stop him. Even after that he got 22 slams is beyond me, with all of those chronic injuries too. Djokovic only has the stats on paper, but anyone unbiased who has the knowledge of context in tennis truly knows that deep inside, Nadal is not only the GOAT but the biggest 'what if' too. Moreover, Nole has played Rafa post 2017 on HC + grass only 3 times where once he was taken to very close 5 sets too. Out of those 7 HC wins, 5 are statpadded in 2015-16. Tell me honestly, what do you think would happen if Nole was good enough to play Rafa more than 2 times during 2017-18 on HC? Need your honest answer 😂. Nadal was good enough in his worst years that Nole got to statpad. These out of context stats become meaningless when you’re actually looking at context too, instead of a low iq wanna be nerd judging the ‘GOAT’ based on spreadsheets only. The only legit streak Nole has is 7-0 in 2011, I admit it but Rafa did an amazing comeback and went 6-1 afterwars including 3 (or 4?) slam encounters as well.

[@MalekAhmed-kz3zu]

@@tennis-man22 Why does Nadal have zero titles in the Masters Cup (which is the most important tournament after the majors ) while Novak has 7 titles and Federer has 6 titles? Do you notice the big difference? Greetings to your brain cells
