Djokovic vs. Nadal Miami 2007 Quarter Finals

[rkellynsm]

3:46 gay voice xD

[XWatcherXxX]

These are almost only Nadal Highlights! How Djokovic managed to win?

[Gipshaw]

T\Why did Nadal stop wearing that headband. It was bad-ass.

[youziness]

People say Nadal has more variety now, i don't see any difference from 2007, maybe learnt the flat serve. Looks like Federer and competition weakened with quality like monfils, fish and melzer able to enter top 10. Gonzalez, roddick, safin, hewitt, haas, nalbandian, agassi were more talented players.

[Bollerich95]

lol the sound at 3:47...was it nadal???

[jayze494]

@Bollerich95 hahaha

[manco82]

Absolutely ridiculous costume by Nadal.

[JackieChannnny]

wtf even after djokovic beat nadal in straight sets, nadal still managed to have more wins on this highlight... u must be a nadal fan -.-

[conziborg2]

@JackieChannnny not at all, I am a Djokovic fan, but as you can see by there being no "made by conziborg2" in the video description means i did not make it

[DuchDoby]

@JackieChannnny Totaly agree.

[VsAStarr]

OMG what a last game!

[oggy112]

Nadal looking like a gay pirate..

[Bang4URBux]

@oggy112 sure does like a cock up his arse hole

[93RastafarianPikachu]

Not likin' the bandana

[Morlich209]

jeez djokovic was terrible at putting the ball away!!

[UltimateTopspin]

DJOKOVIC WAS THE KING OF MASTERS 2007 !

[89Pleasek]

haha love it how they both stop grunting at 6:40

[1992marshmallow]

this is sexy......

[Metsuyi]

lol at 2:35

[hsieno]

grunting machines

[cj397]

one of the greatest matches ever played. definitely. look at the amount of power hitting of these guys

[MrKayPham]

1:12 the ball is called out but the hawkeye shows it barely on the line -.-

[ChadzTalk]

2:33 oops



[RBaltovi]

Another hard court beating from the man who wrote the book on how to beat Rafa on hard courts. Djokovic has beaten Rafa seven out of of ten on hard courts and in my opinion gave the entire tour the blueprint for how to beat him - hyigh looping forehand to rafa's backhand then power it cross court. Murray adopted the same strategy and he's taken Rafa four of the last five.

[conziborg2]

@teletext86 what?

[teletext86]

@teletext86 I mean can they miss somethimes

[flagman57]

@teletext86 highlights rarely show unforced errors

[jayze494]

@teletext86 good english mate

[teletext86]

@jayze494 maybe my english is bad, but my tennis game is not!

[jayze494]

@teletext86 hahaha why did u delete ur comment it was hilarious man!!

any yhh i am sure it is, not as good as mine though!



[jayze494]

@jayze494 i meant to say "and" instead of any

[teletext86]

Nole is No1 for sure!

[aulen300]

i am amazed of how fast they have to recover from every shot they make and the rallies are so long even with this fast surface, cool match!

[linkthemaster1]

I see Nadal grinding and winding up on the court.

[conziborg2]

@linkthemaster1 yes

[awesomerepublican]

4:22 Rafa gets a taste of what it's like to be attacked on the backhand side with continuous topspin shots (usually what he does to his opponents).

[awesomerepublican]

3:30 Amazing defense to offense transition from Djokovic!

[cuarteto6x8]

amazing how djokovic can beat nadal one week after his defeat in indian wells, I guess because this is quarter final and not a final, djokovic never had beaten nadal in finals or grand slam events, that is something important, that makes so impressive nadal head to head against federer and so irrelevant the head to head of murray against fegerer sorry for my bad english

[Sumyfore]

Great rythm in this match, pleasant to see the first masters 1000 of Djokovic, with this very full game.

[stealthpakfa]

nadal moonballing is disgusting.

[reefric]

what a dog fight between these 2.

[idzoG]

SERBIAN POWER!!

[Auriconxl]

Wow, this was a great highlight reel to watch with Nadal and Djokovic really hammering away at each other in this match. I am actually attending the final of this tournament this year, and hopefully one of these two will be in the final vs either Federer or Murray.

[JUSfr34k]

YYYYEAA NOVAK KEEP IT UP !

[smithcm14]

Greatest power and aggression I've seen from Nadal.since I remember. Of course, ridiculous defense as well.

[jamesriadi23]

nadal played amazing here, he should try to be more aggressive like this for 2010 on hard courts

[heysuker]

@jamesriadi23

If Nadal plays like this he will retire extremely soon.

[lagirouette90]

Djokovic is really amazing, but the backhand of Nadal is ridiculous !

[GuamanianG]

WOW what a great match! I miss this more aggresive nadal. He doesnt take as many chances now. Go djokster!!

5/5

[AnimeIntroStyles4]

This was painful to watch.

[lucasmelee]

Really intense match

[Vladaamaizing]

This was great match!!! I can remember it like it was yesterday...:D GO NOVAK !!! SRBINE!!!

[ufesafada]

What a game

[BrotherTree1]

u mean "what a gameS"

[lamentestorta]

8:15-8:29 O_O

[AndyMurrayFan217]

Djokovic completley missed the ball at 2:33

[yomamafat155]

omg the camera man is the best.

[maxxxrockmuse]

when they play each other on hard court, djokovic is unbeleivable...this match was epic

[Jaishankar100]

Look how aggressive Djokovic was in this game!!!

[RFedex0808]

My God!This match may have been a straight sets win for Djokovic but it looks as though it is a three set epic match!!

[PlantedPhone]

lol at 2:34, weird

[doofynetgraouw]

never seen rafa this aggressive .. that's nice to see, but he lost .. and that's just sad for him ..

[nickshand]

nadals forearm was sick this match

[reefric]

when these 2 play , they really go at each other..

[stephameister]

both excellent!!

[Sonic2718]

both players played excellently but i think Djokovic's forehands were kinda predictable; please don't spam me for saying this.

[malcomino]

what he had on his head! omg he's ridicolous

[poten123456789]

FAK DJOKOVIC! HE IS A SCARY SNAKE!

[huangyishi]

Lol @ 2:35

[huangyishi]

Hardcore massive match!

[huangyishi]

I do admire both as a role model of tennis. Djokovic has the tiniest upperhand in serve, but nadal's return evens it out.

Forehand is nadal's without question. Their backhand is even. Volleying is quite even aswell. I think footwork is Nadals.

Cheer on djokovic and nadal. <33

[seidl01]

in my opinion djoko has a better return..

[Jaishankar100]

No way !!!

Nadal and murray have the best return of serve.

[huangyishi]

Murray has a slightly more stable return.

[conziborg2]

murray's return is more consistent, but he does less with it, both nadal and djokovic put more on it, also you gotta remember murray has been playing his best tennis all year while nadal has played some bad tourneys and djok only a few good ones, he has been really unconsistent, so as he is off form his return isnt as good, IMO on his day djok has best return

[huangyishi]

Murray has the best return in the game IMO.

[conziborg2]

nadal has won the most return games this year and last making him the best, he has won the most even though he has not been at his best for large part of the year, Murray is 2nd and he has been at his best all season

[huangyishi]

Sorry, but I still think Murray has the best return. I want to agree to disagree, because I don't want to fight or start a 'flame' war.

We have different opinions :)

[seidl01]

of course murray has the best return, second best federer

[huangyishi]

I would say second it Nadal. Federer USE to be the best, xD

[AllGenreMusic]

@conziborg2 Nadal's returning game is only statistically good at the end of the year mostly because of clay. His returning game on the other surfaces, especially on hard is quite poor. They land near the middle of the court and have spin on them. Top players eat those alive. Currently for this year, the only stat Nadal is in the top 5 for, is break point conversions. But returning 1st serves, he is right now #13 (Federer/Djokovic = #2/3), and returning second 2nd serves Nadal is #6.

[conziborg2]

@AllGenreMusic Thats a good point but he can still break any serve on any surface. This is also probably due to his great defence and ability to get back into the point.

[cuarteto6x8]

@AllGenreMusic I think we can talk about two points of view in returning games, there are players like nadal and ferrer who are good returning because almost every seve is in play and not free points, and from the baseline they are hard to beat, and in the other hand we have nalbandian hewitt, these players are very agressive returning and playing fast cause they use the oponnents power to increase the speed,

[AllGenreMusic]

@cuarteto6x8 Eh, Ferrer is a better returner than Nadal overall on all surfaces. Nadal does return well, but he has an issue reading big servers. I would say Hewitt is more of the type of player to get the returns in rather than going for an outright return winner. Nalbandian is just tremendous regardless, he can't be categorized. He is certainly up there with Agassi/Connors as the best service returners of all time in terms of getting the ball back in play and hitting return winners.

[DanimalLawlz]

@AllGenreMusic Yeah his 3-0 head to head against Karlovic, 5-3 over Roddick, 10-0 over Verdasco and 2-0 over Isner really demonstrate your "issue reading big servers" point beautifully.

[Jaishankar100]

Nadal's stamina has improved , djokovic's has detoriated.

What say?

[conziborg2]

lol :D

yea i think his stamina is o.k but when you put in hot conditions he is finished, so basically he has crap conditioning.

[dangho1]

even if i am a nadal fan i must say nole played amazing everyting was perfect his serve his groundstrokes his volley everyting he played better than nadal (rafas outfit is amazing)

[DrCarmac]

That was incredible. Some of those rallies...

[chao5cuber]

Why doesnt nadal play like this anymore? Lately

[conziborg2]

he changed his game to adapt it for hard courts

[fcshahzaib]

is it just me or is nadal hitting his forehand with much more power than this time in miami and indian wells 2009? His backhand definitely has improved 2x times from 07.

[seidl01]

i agree, now he makes much more forehand winner

[theone225]

there's always absolute controversy when a tennis player manages to beat nadal. this was a fantastic match. Nadal's so entertaining

[verojatnost]

djokovic is better

[gusblanka]

nadal i s simply amazing

[theone225]

Oh my god! what a match! love rafa's outfit!

[turtlecutches]

GREAT MATCH

[Froufrou3333]

Thank you for this amazing highlights !! One of my favourite match !!

[chanmri]

one word: brilliant.

[conziborg2]

i know the intensity throughout this match is huge:)

[1f2n]

amazing match

[conziborg2]

i know the intensity throughout this match is huge:)

[Sharky428]

the level of this match was crazy

[conziborg2]

i know, its the highest quality/closest 6-3 6-4 match i have ever seen:)

[novakjelena4srbija]

I think here Nole was at his best.Very impresive match!He draws almost all the points.

[conziborg2]

he is not hitting with as much power/accuracy as he did start of 08 and shanghai

[novakjelena4srbija]

Yes,Nole finished 08 like he started it.I mean, magnificent.Sorry for my English!

[conziborg2]

your english is perfect:)

[greenberetta2001]

classic match ... djokovic was at the top of his game there.

[conziborg2]

for that year yes, but his game took a step up at the 08' aussie open indian wells, and shanghai

[nadalbest4ever]

this match was good but the last game was unbelievable nadal gives his champion heart iven if he lost the game. i think this match was the start of novak djokovic. great highlight conzi!

[conziborg2]

yes it was undoubtly the match that gave djokovic the confidence/self belief for the rest of the year. And nadal showed that he will fight for every single point. The last game was unbeleivable, both players playing great(check out my video of it:))

[fetez1]

looool

Nadal does not have the same game anymore.... great he improved!

[conziborg2]

this was an intense match
