this is what it would look like to see two GOATS at their peak going toe to toe in a grand slam final ! we were blessed with this era

The Australian Open is my favorite slam. Less pretentious than RG, not overhyped like Wimbledon, and not chaotic/noisy like the USO. Just pure banging tennis every year. Plus, the stadium and court color is beautiful, especially during night sessions.

[@josephciccolini1590]

It is definitely the best run of the major tournaments, and the players seem to enjoy it more than other majors. Fairer scheduling, better weather, and a great fan base.

And all these 7 matches were finals, on all surfaces. Something that has never been seen before or since. Novak did it again beating Nadal in 7 consecutive matches in 2015-2016, but they were not finals. Also, Nadal was not at the top of his level as in 2011-2012

At this moment, when Novak and Nadal were young, in full strength, I would like to see the younger tennis players from 2024 on the other side. For example, Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverev, Medvedev... These new tennis players have no chance against Novak and Nadal. And time will tell... --------------------------------------------------------- U ovom trenutku kad su Novak i Nadal bili mladi, u punoj snazi, voleo bi da vidim sa druge strane mladje tenisere iz 2024 godine. Naprimer Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverev, Medvedev... Nemaju šanse ovi novi teniseri protiv Novaka i Nadala. A to će pokazati i vreme...

This Djokovic will surely beat Sinner in Shanghai Masters final. 😂😂😂

[@HoangTruong-vk7ek]

Current Sinner is very very good. But prime big3 has the edge definitely. Sinner is playing at similar level to Murray 2016. The best and scary thing about him is he is still young and will even be better so we never know.

[@KingKong100Tube]

I remember every point of this match! It was unbelieveble! Federer Nadal greatest of all time!

[@niceguy1774]

Longest in duration, but what percentage of it actually featured a ball in-play? I'm thinking a solid 15% was spent going to towels, bouncing a ball and picking wedgies.

[@agradina]

djokery lucky as usually.3 gs taken from federer and 1 gs from nadal just by sheer luck.

[@menon_ji4984]

Nadal was lucky here to play in 5th set, he didn't deserved to win this one.

Excuse more, Djokovic defeated Murray in the second longest match of the tournament only behind this one, and then went on to beat Nadal in the greatest final of all time. It was one of the most incredible feats ever in tennis.
