Rafael Nadal v Grigor Dimitrov Extended Highlights | Australian Open 2017 Semifinal

[@vs-id9yr]

Nadal played Federer twice in this tournament

[@PC-tp4cn]

Good one 😂

[@derekheism]

I think Roger's shots are flatter. Besides, I believe this match has consumed Nadal too much.

[@andyroo9381]

WOW!! I have never seen the highlights to this AO Semifinal. This was a tennis match right down to the very last point. An incredible effort by both men.

[@giuseppeliucci5340]

Questa è senza dubbio alcuno la migliore partita della carriera di Dimitrov. E l' ha persa. Lo stesso era accaduto otto anni prima a Verdasco. Entrambi hanno incontrato il più straordinario agonista della storia di questo sport

[@tennis-man22]

Can’t forget this match. My dad said he would distribute sweets to neighbours next morning if Rafa won this match 😂😂

[@zauberflote68]

Very enjoyable to watch. They contributed a good game and showcased their sportsmanship.

[@celestialspartan7977]

This has been the best Dimitrov has performed in Majors ...

[@lostandlooking]

I watched this in Mexico on an old-fashioned box TV with my girlfriend at the time. One of best tournaments I remember.

[@dimitarstoilov6892]

2017 was such a special year to watch tennis, amazing matches

[@TopEveryThing-yi3py]

Tennis was only great when big 3 were all playing at peak

[@Dragoneen]

Might be the craziest match I've ever seen

[@siddarthbalakrishnan9657]

Thiem Nadal USO 2018 for me. Also Wawrinka Djokovic AO 2013

[@romainmj7245]

Thanks for doing these extended highlights of past matches ! It was incredible

[@WillSavage]

2017 Nadal is SO underrated my goodness. I know 2010 and 2013 etc were superhuman, but in 2017 he really was unbelievable too.

[@momonso0821]

The most underrated semifinal match

[@ivanolivas4025]

One of the best matches ive seen , Grigolo was possessed

[@pauljohnson6019]

Obviously, not enough to win, he should have taken one of his bp chances in the 5th set, then served it out.

[@インコ-l8e]

This match is arguably the best match of 2017. 2017 has been a pretty bad year overall, but this match is still a great match that should go down in history.

[@hrishi88]

Why was it bad?

[@SuperBosbon]

Insane level from Grigor.

[@목살-w6j]

what a play

[@joseignaciobasilio]

Dimitrov was excellent this match! 10/10

[@joseignaciobasilio]

he played incredible all the match

[@AlmirSevero1]

Nadal simply hates to lose more than anyone. The man is warrior

[@pauljohnson6019]

He should have lost more on hard court- after all, it's not his specialist surface, but I guess the other players just weren't consistent enough, apart from Novak.

[@M8SACHAHvK]

So good😊😊

[@AminJoghtayi-hb7vn]

What a match!!!

[@Kidgloves1984]

Very high level exciting match..

[@pauljohnson6019]

Yes, and Dimitrov choked in big moments, and handed Nadal the win! I'd have thought, or hard court, Dimitrov could beat Nadal, after all, if he can't beat Nadal on hc, where can he beat him?

[@Sleen666]

Un des meilleurs matchs. Dimitrov jouait comme Federer...Et le come on sur le premier revers signifie tout.

[@pauljohnson6019]

Played like Federer, but obviously not as good, or he would have broken in the fifth set, only Roger can enter God mode, and win 5 games in a row, from 1-3 down.

[@lovefortytennis]

Mom I want Federer! Mom: we have Federer at home Federer at home:

[@gaboro9925]

Still pretty good tho at least!

[@pauljohnson6019]

Federer did win the finals, but he made it a bit of a mountain, compare that to the AO2019 finals, where Novak swept past Nadal easily, in 3 straight sets.

[@jbm8167]

Think Nadal probably gets over the line in the final if he has this match 1 day earlier tbh. It was a killer but it was also a classic

[@inakibadiolamoreno8546]

Cuando Nadal perdió la final con Federer..El quinto set lo perdió PORQUE NI SE TENIA EN PIE...sino Federer NO GANA.

[@jackschelkzin952]

anyone know what racket dimitrov is using here?

[@louisedyhlen3234]

imagine nadal with ivanesevic serve

[@TonyZhang-m2p]

i wanted dimitrov to win

[@gevsjan8012]

Grigors strokes veryyy veryyyy simular to Roger , unfortunately he will always be baby Fed

[@carlosvalencia9924]

Nadal ya no le podía ganar a Djokovic y Federer en superficies rápidas en los últimos años

[@a66789]

。

[@pauljohnson6019]

Nadal forgot, this wasn't clay, he should have lost this match! But he was gifted some easy errors, I'd have thought Dimitrov was better on hard court, than grass or clay, how did he let Claydal bully him? Would have been interesting, if he played Federer in the finals, would have been close, Federer could have choked and lost!

[@alilahlou2166]

Clayday has won 4 US Open , 2 Australian Open , 2 Wimbledon . Olympic Gold ( in hard court ) , 5 Rogers Cup , 3 Indian Wells , 1 Cincinnati , 1 Madrid Open ( hard court ). All this tournament are considered big titles. What about u Paul our hard court specialist???!!!

[@pauljohnson6019]

@alilahlou2166 Most of them, from choking opponents, Medvedev was robbed by umpire in 2022, Federer choked in 2009 and Medvedev and Anderson were rubbish in the finals, his wins on clay are valid, but Federer and Djokovic are the true hard and grass court specialists, not baldal.
