Some of the info isn't really new. I think it's mainly been about sustainability and adherence. I think some players at certain points are much better off trying to continually figure out how to properly play him that incorporates those 2 aspects in order to have more consistent success against him. They may take a few losses, but the reward would be ultimately figuring out how to play him in a more competitive manner. Djokovic may hit flat but he's always been one who can adhere and sustain that kind of hitting more, which is why it's not really a surprise that he had more success against Nadal on clay than many other players.

This was clearly an advantage in the past but I really doubt his body can take several long matches in a row now, he is not young anymore. But the 5 sets thing is SO true, it is not only that he never seems to get tired, but he also knows when to raise his level when the score is even. I have seen so many matches where he lost the second set (1-1), and started the third set at a higher level usually getting an early break pretty fast. Just imagine all the effort it takes to win a single set, and in a matter of minutes you are 3-0 down in the next set again...

A lot of players you're mentioning might get a set from Rafa, two if he's having a particularly bad day and they're hitting lights out. But literally only 2 people have gotten 3 sets out of him in 15+ years. The only one I think may have a chance is Nole, and even then, it's more likely he loses in straights than him beating Rafa.

@@sunnyharsha But he still won 2. He might win more. Nadal is the best clay-court player in history after all. Novak is 7:3 on other slams vs Nadal, and one of those was a retirement on Wimbledon before 2011. So from the time both of them hit their prime, Nadal is 4:2 on FO, 2:1 on US Open, 0:2 on AO, and 0:2 on Wimbledon, vs Djokovic, if I'm not mistaken. And he is yet to beat Djokovic at AO his best GS tournament, while Djokovic has 2 wins over Nadal at his house. Think about that.

@Tommaso Luce I don't think you understand the player you are supporting. Nadal played just like he usually does. But the problem was, it was night, the ball was not bouncing as much as Rafa would like and he had to put twice the effort, to get the desired backspin. Because of that, on the fourth set Rafa was exhausted and Djokovic capitalized on that. That's how tennis works.

Exactly. IMO Djokovic gets too much credit for the 2015 QF. The reality is Nadal was playing like horse crap in 2015 and he was doomed no matter what section of the draw he fell on. Remember his ranking fell to 6 and was the 6th seed which means he could face any top 4 player in the QF. In that case it happened to be Djokovic. If he was in the opposite quarter in the top half, he would have lost to Murray or Ferrer. If he was on the opposite half of the draw he would have lost to Wawrinka or even Tsonga depending on which quarter he landed in. Heck, I’d even give Federer a chance.

Some myths in the video: - Nadal is shortening the points since his comeback in 2017. In Rome, he lost almost 80% of long rallies (9+ shots) against Nole. He won because of the short points, he did a lot of winners. - You can't take Nadal's 2015 matches as an example, or WB matches with no knees Besides from that I believe its still an interesting video

Another very interesting piece.Your very well observed insights are as always presented so well.When you see Rafa confined and backed up almost backing into a line judge as he is in Rome,you can see his discomfort.And yet he finds a way somehow to overcome that.Yes there is a visceral power,but as Toni said once,he has acquired so many other ways to win.As he says himself he is not as fast as he once was,but his game is so much more sophisticated and varied.His serve has fascinated me the way it has developed.He does have heat,but like Novak he uses the faster serves judiciously.His precision on serve has developed through his career[as has Novaks].I sense when i watch him play younger tyros like Sinner and Stefanos,that holding them is much more of a struggle.their heavy hitting,big serves and their youthful speed and incredible mobility that Rafa Novak and Roger have ignited in these players is close to eclipsing them now.But,the spirit,and most of all,their intelligence and supreme competitiveness somehow gets them through.Recently Rafa talked about this as did Novak,there candour showed us why we have been blessed with their presence for so long.And as you said at the start court Philippe Chatrier is perfect for Rafa to absorb the big servers.I saw a stat the other day that said six of the top ten players now stand where Rafa does to receive the serve.THANKS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL WORK!

@@homosapien5156 While I respect your opinion, there's two reasons I think that is not true - first, a prime Rafa beats any player in RG (even 2015 Nole) anyday, and 2015 Rafa was not even close to that... second, comparing generations is very complex, so saying 2015 Nole was better than any player that ever existed is a naive statement to make.

@@abhishekbej I 100% agree that prime Rafa beats anyone on RG. And in 2015 he was not in his prime. 2015 Novak is widely regarded by ex players, journalists as the best tennis player ever. Stats also are in favour of this opinion. Although I do agree that comparing generations does not work. But I think we can definitely say best tennis player to exist in Open era.

I had the same thought.. he does everything described here except playing close to the baseline. I dont know if he can figure out how to do that, it's a massive change to introduce to your game.. but taking Brands' approach would be the key if he can manage that. Other than him, I think Sinner in fact is the perfect candidate and he also plays very close to the baseline.. I think they're on course to meet in Rd4! Also, KARATSEV - who is ALSO en course to meet him in the QF!!!! Daaaamn fasten your seatbelts boys and girls..

Losing to Djokovic, even on what is effectively his home turf, isn't too shocking. Djokovic is easily on his, and Federer's, level as one of the greatest of all time. But that 2009 loss to Soderling I think to this day is the most stunning grand slam upset in the history of the sport. And as a Federer fan I'm very glad he did it.
