Nadal vs Djokovic - US Open 2010 Final (part 1) HD

[arifsharp]

The forhand at 05:42 just monstrous

[vegeta775]

great. now i have to find BNB222's comment

[capoman1]

Nadal plays with so much margin, gotta love it.

[jonasgomesjgn]

esse jogo foi apenas o inicio pro djokovic

[ariichi1]

こういうのっていつも無駄に前置き長いよね

[mrSnakeeye20]

3 breaks in 5 games

the shows 2 things

1: how poorly the serve

2: how good the are at returning

[UchihaKaibaPL]

@mrSnakeeye20 Poor serve? My god, yuo dont know a thing about tennis and you comment shit like this ~~

[mrSnakeeye20]

@UchihaKaibaPL well both nole and rafa wolud be extreamly hard to beat if the served better than the do

[BrotherTree1]

Orgasmic dream matchups:

2010 Nadal vs 2011 Djokovic

2006 Federer vs 2010 Nadal

2006 Federer vs 2011 Djokovic

[MiguelBruzualC]

I miss this Rafa...

[auriazulrebel]

@MiguelBruzualC i also, for it i'm here.

[zandorza]

They did

[silvinha516]

half an hour into the match and Nole was already breaking raquets! God i miss this Nadal... One can only hope that this sunday they can both play their best..

[weatherallc05]

5:44 excuse me novak

[weatherallc05]

also, if theres one thing i have to say its that the us open is more enjoyable to watch. the rallies tend to be longer and therefore i find harder to predict who can win a point. wimbledon just doesnt match that unpredictability

[weatherallc05]

for me, this match was so exciting. soo many unbelievable shots, and its always great to watch. personally, i still think nadal is the best in the world just because his style is my favourite (that forehand is godly). but djokovic proved today against murray that he is simply amazing, and just cant go down at almost all cost.

[weatherallc05]

nadal dominated 2010, like spain did football and all sport. 2011, djokovic dominates brutally.

[s34355]

Nadal is the king of tennis! 10 grand slams with 25 years! :)

[TNRTNT123]

"two titans of the tennis" uhhh i scared!!!

[lBlacky]

the ball in 3:56 xDDD

[fcpaokara]

@STPconditions you have no idea about tennis

[anS0N1997]

thumbs up if u want to see the 2010 nadal vs the 2011 djokovic !!

[cortadew]

@anS0N1997 we already saw it at the Australian Open 2012

[TheFedererNadallover]

@cortadew Nope. .. we saw Djokovic 2010 vs Nadal 2011 at the AO 2012 :D

[cortadew]

@TheFedererNadallover Djokovic 2011 not Djokovic 2010 and that wasn't Nadal 2011 that was Nadal 2010

[TheFedererNadallover]

@cortadew Well .. Nadal of 2010 would never have made 70 unforced errors.. and the same with Djokovic 2011 ! That's why I said so :)

[cannydd]

@anS0N1997 2012 djokovic might be even better! cant wait for this year

[polychronio]

@anS0N1997 2010 nadal is same as 2011 nadal... it's just that djokovic got better in 2011....

[farhannius16]

@polychronio exactly. Truth be told Nadal had a very good 2011, he won the French, and he was in the finals of Wimbledon and the US open. Djokovic however happened to have one of the greatest seasons in men's tennis history.

[365to173repubsPWNED]

@farhannius16 you're spot on. even in this match we see signs of what djokovic would become.

[mrSnakeeye20]

@anS0N1997 wy not the 2006 federer

[channelislander]

9:00-9:05: Great sportsmanship.

[fcpaokara]

nadal 2010 vs djokocic 2011 3-0 sets easily

[cortadew]

@fcpaokara hahah retard even when Novak was playing this way he couldn't win him in three sets!!!!

[fcpaokara]

@cortadew retard see nadal last year

[cortadew]

@fcpaokara I have seen I lot of times 2011 Djokovic beated easily 2011 Nadal, then Nadal improve in little aspects in 2010 then Novak would have win 2010 Nadal but it would be more difficult for him I am sure of that

[fcpaokara]

@cortadew I disagree.i see nadal last year and he had made extremely forehands.this year he has not confidence in his hand,and when play with nole,he had a lot of hang

[ArjunJethwa]

LOOK AT NADAL'S BACKHAND!

Man that shot's hitting winners every point and just hits like a winner, his backhand now in 2011 looks so fricken weak.

[fcpaokara]

@ArjunJethwa yes its true

[davenw6]

The reason for this is not something mystical alaster488 it's simply his style of play means there's a dip, unfortunately this time he played just as much as Novak, he just didn't win

[sanrafaa]

Nadal will put Djokovic in the same position in 2012... watch out for my RAFA>...

[cortadew]

@sanrafaa Rafa is dead for Djokovic

[foul01]

given djokovic's superior h2h to nadal on hardcourts, i actually expected djokovic to win this match back in 2010

owell... i guess he amended it in 2011

[Alaster488]

is it safe to say that nadal does better on even years like 2008 and 2010.

[turkville]

@Alaster488 um no..sorry mate....his always been good just like fed and djoker

[cortadew]

nadal 16 Djokovic 13

[tigerarmyrule]

@cortadew Djokovic well ahead Head to head since he discovered and corrected his dietary problem. 6-0 in 2011.

[cortadew]

2011 Djokovic > 2010 Nadal

[cheeku2297]

nadal 17 djokovic 12

[TheAbbanddonn]

@cortadew I wouldn't be so sure. Nadal 1st serve speed avg was over 120 mph. He was hitting a lot of winners with his forehand and backhand, things that he's not doing anymore.

2010 Nadal vs 2011 Djokovic could be a really exciting match and is hard to conclude wich one would win.

[explodingpimp]

2010 Nadal > 2011 Djokovic

[cortadew]

@explodingpimp hahahaha, 2010 Nadal would have lost with Djokovic too

[edgarsantoyo18]

Nadal's rain only lasted 3 years

[LightningthunderB]

@edgarsantoyo18 reign

[MrGeoman00]

Nadal just can't be dissociated from his ground court :D

[diggieball]

Nadal dressed like an assassin for this match !

[Manuser7]

@diggieball LOOL

[asxcvn]

¡Vamos Rafa!

[TennisCoachno1]

2011 djokovic would still beat a 2010 rafa!

[cortadew]

@TennisCoachno1 that's what I said

[TennisCoachno1]

@cortadew soz didnt see ya post but good to see someone agrees

[afsaldurranihotmail]

this was a different nadal he is not the same now

[TheOscarelmejor]

Rafael nadal the best!!

[danii040]

thumps up if djokovic will never get as many slams as federer or nadal.

[cortadew]

@danii040 you won't get too much thumbs up buddy ;)

[Bossosunga]

Nadal losing: always great (although unfortunately rare).

[ruaridh2k7]

@Rafathaman94 Never. This is God Rafa.

[satishsatishiyer]

Djokovic : Take this title and complete your Career Slam.. next year i will make you MY BITCH... :-)

[rbennett15]

@MattyOyola21 hahahah. I think Nadal looks a little quicker here but how much better has Djokovic got since this match? He didn't look that bad in this match either!

[BNB222]

thumbs up if you are watching this after Djokovic beat him at the 2011 us open :D

[renorenardo100]

@BNB222 

[renorenardo100]

Responder a este vídeo...  ooo

[renorenardo100]

nadal va a volver este año a lo grande

[cortadew]

@renorenardo100 si, claro como no

[VamosRafa04]

@BNB222

Look at the depth in Rafa's game. He is hitting the balls very soon and deep. Thats what he needs to do again if he wants to beat Dj­­okovic.

[bdgregorybd]

@BNB222 Actually I'm watching it after he beat Nadal in the 2012 Australian Open :D

[MattyOyola21]

The weather was so thick cloudy and gray. That was maybe because Nadal would win the Slam Career. Sad day for tennis,

[DarkMugiwara]

@MattyOyola21 Ouch... Lol. I feel djokovic really deserved that win on Monday! :) Still, don't diss out Nadal, he's gotten far. lol

[Came7on]

woot for nole

[TheVinne90]

Thumbs up if you are watching this because of the 2011 Final

[FreakyFraser1]

Watching this to get ready for this afternoon's showdown

[Barracuda08]

NO1e WINNER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TurboKock]

Djokovic modish, Nadal legend

[Gipshaw]

Djokovic threw the kitchen sink at Nadal that night, but it still wasn't enough.

[godriczimmerman]

Nadal is a transvestite, he takes peforming enhancing drugs, he picks his ass before every point, he keeps lifting his right eyebrow as he talks during interviews, he make annoying gruts as he hits the ball, he makes a show of false humility during every interview, when really he's arrogant and vain beyond belief, he cant lose a match without faining injury. Federer, Djokovic for the US Open ... anyone but Nadal!! ...Hopefully Federer, Would love to see THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER win a 17th major

[TheRafaelBond]

Nadal was PURE MONSTER in 2010 on EVERY Court!

[r0baa]

@TheRafaelBond tis true, but people dont see it coz there favourite players got beaten

[TheRafaelBond]

@r0baa

yea,but i think 2010 will ALWAYS be remembered as the Year where Rafa TOTALLY Dominated! :)

[tennisproderek]

a true champion wouldnt do that to his racket. djokovic is a djoke

[famous2too]

Nadal tries to emulate Federer. He is wearing black costume as roger did in usopen 2007. that is the dark vader thing.

Please Nadal, try to be more iriginal, ok?

[TheRafaelBond]

@famous2too

wtf??

[LKING999]

Really looking forward to the US open 2011. Djokovic Nadal Federer Murray Del Potro Tomic take your pick

[famous2too]

@LKING999 ok, why tomic?? i mean the hasn´t even won an important tournament this year!!!

[LKING999]

@famous2too he's got potentially a great future and if he and federer clash in the 3rd round i really think he can give federer a run for his money.

[Aleksandar0604]

YEEEAAAH DJOKOVIC

[blackknight126]

Nadal could beat Novak at USO 2010 because of his serve.Nadal's serve was just unbelievable last year.When you serve well, you put a lot of pressure on your opponent's service game.So If Nadal want to beat Novak again, he has to rediscover his serve and play more aggressive,come to the net more often.That's the only way to beat Novak right now.

[atdream105]

@blackknight126 I 150% agree with you mate. Nadal's serve is pretty nonreturnable at US open last year. Like always, the champion in US open has to be a great server. Nadal ain't an exception. If he does it again this year, he'll have his 2nd crown in NY

[KaminariKatta]

Djokovic was playing pretty defensively here,playing far behind the baseline.Forehand landing short, dint dare to blast his backhand CC.

Note:The backhand crosscourt shot is a very important shot to beat nadal as we can see this year in madrid.

[atdream105]

@KaminariKatta I agree with you as well. If I have one advice to Nadal this year. He should be breaking down novak's forehand more. Novak's backhand is really solid this year especially against the high bouncing nadal forehand

[KaminariKatta]

@atdream105 your right.if im correct,in the miami match this year,

The commentator said something about nadal setting up a winner by hitting a big shot to the djokovic forehand.i then began to realize what was really happening.

In this match.

We see:.Djokovic playing defensively,trying to get his forehand into the game,hitting bh DTL so that rafa sends his bh CC to his forehand.Rafa countered this by slicing down the line,inside in forehand,pinning djok to his bh side then a winner on the fh.

[anismessi]

thumbs up if u want this rafa back 

[cortadew]

@anismessi rafa never play different, Djokovic just give him less opportunities

[anismessi]

@cortadew

stop fooling yourself

[Mattysacco]

where's the point to make it 15-all ? lol GREAT video tho

[lagerandapacketcrisp]

this is probably the best rafa has ever played especially on the serve djokovic actually played a very good match but rafa was awesome!

[Keega]

What's the name of the music at the beginning?

[LegendKiller0084]

Open Hardcourts, not to say Nadal IS NOT a shoo-in for at least the Semis, but I think it will either be Nole, Federer, or the not so much of a dark horse Juan Martin Del Potro (at 100% health)

[LegendKiller0084]

This Djokovic is half of what he is now.... Nadal got lucky he faced a no name in the Semi-Final that I guarantee no one remembers anymore (without wikipedia assistance). Added with the fact that Djokovic had the late afternoon Saturday Semi-Final with Federer aka the GOAT, which turned out to be a classic 5 setter. Since he is 5-0 v. Nadal this year I don't see Rafa repeating or ever winning this title again, it's his worst Grand Slam, because these hardcourts are quicker than the Australian

[365to173repubsPWNED]

@LegendKiller0084 nadal may never win another slam outside the french again

[LegendKiller0084]

@365to173repubsPWNED haha well i wouldnt go that far, but Rafas body wont be able to take this strain in 2-3 years.... He will probably win a couple-three more Frenchys and maybe a Wimby again, but I dont see it on hardcourts again at all.... Nadal is still the 2nd greatest player ever, I just really want Roger to stay at the top hahahaaa

[Peaches1822]

@LegendKiller0084 .....erm, I would just like to say (and this is absolutely without wiki), he faced youznhy (though that may be the wrong spelling), who actually has a pretty decent h2h against nadal. Probably because he just has the sexiest back hand, plus it wasnt youznhys first US open semi (lost to roddick in 06). I'm not disagreeing with the standard of rafas opponent last year, just saying that there will be absolutely loads of true tennis fans that will be able to tell you who rafa faced

[LegendKiller0084]

@Peaches1822 The TRUE tennis fans will be able to tell you lots of things that isnt common knowledge, thats what makes them true fans..... I consider myself to be a true fan, I remember the Mikhail Youzhny match, he just didn't bring anythign close to top level against Rafa to be honest with you.... But my point, more than anything is, Rafa was on a mission last year, and that circumstances were in his corner almost throughout the Open, losing a total of 1 set....

[Peaches1822]

@LegendKiller0084 like i said, I wasn't disagreeing with the comment, just about the wiki part where I imagine quite a few people would have been able to tell you who he faced

[LegendKiller0084]

@Peaches1822 yeah and i hear u my wording was off on that

[Peaches1822]

@LegendKiller0084 you know of any videos where people are discussing the USO draw? in any case what do you think?

[LegendKiller0084]

@LegendKiller0084 idk of any youtube videos discussing the 2011 US Open yet, but I saw a little of the draw on ESPN yesterday, and I just smiled when they put Roger on the same half as Nole, (Putting Murray with Rafa of course)....... I hope we get the dream Semi-final like it did at the French, except this time it would be more interesting, because none of the 4 guys are weak on hard courts the way Murray is on clay......But im looking too far ahead, and i can message u a link of the draw

[zuiop07]

Magnificent Quality! 

[kostantine30]

Nadal took so much dope to win this tournament that it was impossible for djokovic to beat him!! nole played one of his best tournaments till then and nearly didn't take a set from him!

[ilferrari]

Nadal was in amazing form at this time. This was a much better final than Wimbledon 2011.

[deadlyboss01]

@Rafathaman94 Rafa in the early was a pusher as he would just loop the ball back. But he has now developed a more attacking game and this has led to a decline in his clay game. To state that Rafa is merely a pusher is wide of the mark now.

[dulisha]

@deadlyboss01 True, but problem with Nadal lately is that he is not adapting to a way Djokovic is playing. Obviously he has to change something... For example Federer is trying different tactics when playing against Novak where Nadal sticks to his only way of play, which is a definition of insanity "doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results"

[deadlyboss01]

@dulisha I agree that he will not beat Nole by simply grinding. He can beat 95% of the tour with his normal game. He definitely needs to find a PLAN B. Federer tries play very fast and slow, mix up pace with his slice shots or Murray attempts to bring Nole's level down with his unusual game. Too bad Rafa can't play like federer.............. he needs to improve his poor backhand, hit more flat forehands, avoid long rallies as Djoker will eventually breakdown Rafa's strokes.

[deadlyboss01]

Nadal is lucky to have faced the old Djokovic in the final. Also are we going to see the mysterious Nadal serve in the US open to disappear for another year? For Rafa to win he needs a very favourable draw and tired opponent in the final like last year.

[kwl189]

@Rafathaman94 Thats a fine line matey. If that's what your going to be like well than how exactly is anyone going to admit to being a pusher or any fan??? Nadal never hit the ball that on the run he get elevation and depth on it sure as for top spin... quite frankly he'll impart some but the juries out on that being skill or chasing down technique.

[kwl189]

@Rafathaman94 Say what!? how is that not pushing...are you trying to say that every time he is chasing down the ball that its not in the middle of the court? Nadal more of a pusher than you think mate. Sure he has grit and determination I respect that and applaud it as its by no means an easy thing to do. He does it way more than he should, pick your moments. I never doubt Nadal in much other than his longevity.

[anismessi]

nadal was hitting the ball so fucking hard

[cj397]

@Rafathaman94 yes he is. he runs every ball down and just loops it back, occasionally going for winners. that's as close to pushing as you can get in the pros.

[splash2011UPLOAD]

In my opinion this is the best tournament that Rafael Nadal hast played in his career, noone was able to challenge him and he lost his serve only twice (!!) before the final. But the the streak of Djokvic began..

[Saberq1]

@splash2011UPLOAD LOL he played against mugs the whole tournament....This US Open was a joke for him

[atom57]

@Saberq1 Those "mugs" would wipe the floor with yo ass.

[Saberq1]

@atom57 I am not a tennis player you fuck

[atom57]

@Saberq1 Then your original comment is invalid.

[jackmeskin]

As Nadal is a defensive player, you need to to hit your targets to beat him, just what djokovic is able to do very well.....! Nole > Rafa

[jackmeskin]

Obviously Rafa was on the continuous heat of both French and English Open but after seeing Wimbledon final 2011, you can notice the toughness of Đoković in crucial points et how he beats the ball hard was already there and that is mental was inferior to Nadal's fighting spirit. Thus I'll say that Rafa was reaching his top level while Nole was still climbing the steps and for instance, the Serbinator's nowadays level is even greater than King Rafa's one. Both great champs of the new generation !

[Bdubbs09]

rafa played the best tennis of his life in this tournament. His worst surface is hard court and he played in New York like he was at the french open not losing a set until the final, which is crazy for a guy that lost the previous year 2,2,2.

[chibi33097]

i think nadal's a bit ignorant. he kept hitting to nole's backhand as he would do to federer but novak's backhand is better than his forehand...

[weatherallc05]

5:47 , fuck me he is radged

[weatherallc05]

nadal is winning 5-1 over djokovic on grand slam matches, says alot

[legomyeggo123]

GO DJOKAVIC

[MrTahhmatee]

@legomyeggo123 u spelt his name wrong brah

[TheVukadin]

@legomyeggo123 lol its djokovic...

[unioncity]

he just played with a lot less heart and focus in Wimbledon. Was not aggressive at all.

[cj397]

@unioncity no novak just hit his targets too well. thats how you have to beat pushers.

[anshuman0001]

Thumbs up if you are watching this after Djokovic beat him at Wimbledon :)

[AceForFire]

@anshuman0001 Thumbs up if Nadal get 10 slams and Djokovic 4 !

[anshuman0001]

@AceForFire Ha ha thanks for the reply, otherwise I wouldn't have known that I have a top comment somewhere on youtube lol

[syukrihantu]

nadal's movements look far more comfortable on hard court than on grass IMO

[weatherallc05]

i dont know what the fuck the court is made of but the squeaking is pissing me off!

[weatherallc05]

the american court looks alot longer than wimbledons unless its just my eyes

[chibi33097]

@weatherallc05

camera angle maybe?

[weatherallc05]

djkovic chill out! dont take it out on r racket

[m3talmilitia15]

Thumbs up if at 5:32 you checked your phone.

[hattrickster33]

I can't believe there are empty seats...angry Federer fans maybe lol

[ElReyDeClay]

@hattrickster33 With all the rain delays, the final being pushed back a day, then rain interrupting the final at the end of the second set, I'm truly surprised anybody stayed around to deal w/ any of that nonsense.The weather was terrible that week, but the tennis facilities are worse by far. The USO desperately need a roof.

[Ageek19941994]

lol 02:40 MICHAEL OWEN!

[suren328]

whats the intro song? anybody know?

[suren328]

whats the intro song?



[mikolaj9933]

Djokovic's forehand is so much better, then his backhand!

[ThePacemaker45]

@mikolaj9933 i think thats normal for every tennis player, that why nadal tries so much to utilize his forehand...

[mikolaj9933]

@ThePacemaker45 Well, Nadals backhand is better then his forehand, so not always.

[guineapig55555]

@mikolaj9933

Are you new to tennis or something? Nadal's forehand is his best shot.

[anS0N1997]

i am watching this in 2011.....

[365to173repubsPWNED]

both federer and nadal went all black to beat djokovic in the final

[izzurba1]

Djokovic FtW !
