This is one of the greatest and most tactical matchups I’ve ever seen in tennis thanks for this video

Wonderful upload! Rafa's 2010 US Open journey was a beauty to watch. Fantastic level of play. I remember that starting with this Simon match in the 3rd round, Rafa was unleashed. The way he played with Lopez, Verdasco, Youznhy and in the final with Djokovic, was like seeing a storm on the court. Rafa changed his serve a bit for this tournament and I believe this is the GS where he still has the most aces to this day and it remains the best service game Rafa ever had in a GS tournament. However, after this tournament, he never again used that service motion, as it caused severe strain on his shoulder.

This tourney was unreal from Rafa. Even in this match when he would miss shots, the amount of spin and pop he was getting in all his shots along with the serve was devastating. Definitely his best hard court form. 2013 was great as well and I think that version was better for his body anyways even if he wasn’t hitting with as much pace.

Nadal 2010 and 2013 are probably on par if not better than Federer and Djokovic ‘s best on hc

If I remember correctly, Simon became father that day and headed home asap after that match :)
