I don't think the long matches are too much of a problem if you get a day's rest. But once again because the French Open are the worst, no roof to finish the SF matches the same day and handing over the trophy without a ball being struck to the first SF winner. Not that it was likely Djokovic or Thiem would have beaten Nadal anyway, but playing 3 days in a row doesn't help.

[@jameswalker6864]

The RG 2012 final displayed a superior level than the RG 2021 semifinal, in my view. Both Nadal and Djokovic were younger, in their prime, and fiercely disputed the four sets. In the RG 2021 semifinal Nadal's foot injury pain increased in the last set, and therefore his physical shape was questionable, making it a boring, one-sided last set. In fact, only the third set of the RG 2021 semifinal was close and epic in a true sense of the word. Unfortuantely, Nadal had to skip the rest of the 2021 season due to the aforementioned foot injury.

[@ashb001]

Well, people seem to 'blink' a lot against Djokovic when they are on the verge of winning. Happened to Nadal (breakpoints deep in the fifth set at Wimbledon 2018, and break up in the fifth set in AO 2012), happened to Federer a few times (obviously), and yeah, Dominic should be proud to join that illustrious list.

[@ryanknowles]

ashb001 lol I wouldn’t say Rafa blinked at Wimbledon, that was a 50/50 match that could’ve gone either way. I believe Rafa saved some break points early in the 5th so he could’ve been out before 7-7 had Novak converted. Australia 2012 also hard to say a blink match as Novak was in control of that one before Rafa somehow wrestled away the 4th set and carried that momentum to a tenuous one break lead in the fifth. Should he have won it? Probably. But not comparable to Thiem’s choke job IMO. As for Federer squandering match points at Wimbledon ‘19, I’m gonna leave that for the Fed fans to dissect. It was a strange “meltdown” to say the least!

@@ryanknowles I disagree with you on both examples - Rafa has now *TWICE* lost when *leading* in the fifth set - and regardless of how well he fought in those matches, he should have put them away: AO 2012 to Djokovic and AO 2017 (to Federer). In addition, he actually came very close to losing the USO 2019 after being *up* two sets to love against Medvedev, who was one or two shots away from taking the match. Djokovic seldom loses from a lead, especially as the match goes on.

All the other major finals are a tough task, not that I'm not proud of him its just he is always coming in as the underdog and his victories are always that much better considering.

Can’t wait to see The Dominator Thiem beat Novak again in 2021 RG.

Compare this match and Djokovic's match vs Nadal at Roland Garros 2013. That 2013 Djokovic could play vs both of Djokovic and Thiem from 2019 at the same time and would beat them

[@ertugrulkorpinar51]

Not in these conditions

[@samer4435]

What a match with a high quality. Unfortunately, the weather conditions in the first day affected both players and the match. So, we waited until the next day to watch a good tennis. for me, I don't think that playing in such circumstances is a right decision.

Comment est-il possible de produire Un tel niveau d’intensité dans les frappes ? Du premier au dernier point Et... sans parler de la tonicité des jambes. personne ne dit rien 👏

[@bensherwood777]

Great match. I don't like the music in the background suggesting the end of the set/match.. It just ruins the suspense!

[@nitwit21458]

Imagine if Djokovic managed to win after 39:02. Idk really when it comes to saving match points that 40:15 score is magic for him.

[@theobecquet8477]

Djoker's favorite band is Earth WIND and Fire. Man, 25/55 points won/Attempts at the net, that's the worse net stat I've ever seen

[@draganduga2781]

Yeah that shit was weird as fuck. I don't know what was he trying to accomplish with going to the net so much especially on clay.

[@tanmaywadhwa211]

So much wind😂

if Theim had proper rest he could have maybe pushed rafa too five sets

Nah Djokovic is the only one able to do that at RG.

[@Onmysheet]

The extreme wind did have an effect on the match but that's part of the game, otherwise why are they playing outdoors in the first place.

[@arvidl5666]

that's not the point. I want to see high quality tennis in a slam Semi and that was impossible due to conditions. If so many spectators don't show up there is no problem of rescheduling it.

[@Onmysheet]

As long as the conditions aren't damaging the court, play will continue without suspension.

[@arvidl5666]

@@Onmysheet that's why they finally installed roofs on all GS center courts. We want to see the best tennis possible and that's only possible if conditions are at least acceptable which was not the case here.

[@Onmysheet]

Roofs were added mainly to prevent rain disrupting play.

A beautiful match! I am happy team is not in the same draw as nole in 2020. Hope nole wins it.

Great match

[@ДмитрийГаськов-щ7е]

23:38 greatest point in the match

[@ДмитрийГаськов-щ7е]

My favourite tennis match

[@lexigold8448]

I think the breaks benefitted Djokovic greatly here, with Thiem's biggest strength being his physicality and power, being able to rest and refresh a bit kept him from getting too tired out; it's often we see the fitter player winning on these 5-set matches (like the Murray-Gasquet match) where attrition is the real decider.

[@lexigold8448]

I think with Thiem's solid mindset and talent, if he can minimise his errors he will be a real threat over the next few years, I think he'll win a slam on clay at some point (maybe catching Nadal on an off day)

[@romainmj7245]

Could you do a classic about roger and wawrinka match in FO 2019

[@НикитаДряпочко]

Does anyone know, why these names are written on the wall on 19:11? Of course, they are winners, but why exactly these?

[@CBEasyas123]

i feel like Roland Garros should look up other people's highlights...you guys sho 1 point while other youtubers can post about 5 or 6 while you replay slowmo and do music etc

[@topspin4hand]

These highlights might be better for less serious fans. I kind of liked the back and forth drama in the highlights...a lot better than the Wimbledon ones at least.

is there a way to get the soundtrack of the warm-up? thats great for a stamina workout.
