i give this video 6 stars and i think that the people there should have paid 1000$ to wach this match, just kidding :)) Anyway, i think this should be the best match of all time :D

[intruZo1991]

i don't know that this is THE BEST of all time...but maybe this is one of the best clay court matches :D

not hd

great match, but id say the wimbledon 08 final between these rafa and roger is a bit better

[suddenlyitsobvious]

It's really amazing to see how during the last 2 GS finals he kept hitting ball after ball after ball RIGHT into Djoko's racket, even when he had all the time in the world to either hit a direct winner or set one up through a few strokes. There's obviously something smelly going on...

[suddenlyitsobvious]

Nadal today isn't a shadow of the player he was back then, in fact, he seems like a different player altogether. Today he simply hands Djoko grand slams on a silver platter, hitting right into his racket, not making any angles whatsoever, trying nothing -though making it seem he is fighting very, very hard... I've come to the conclusion that his matches against Djoko at the USO and the AO were rigged: he wasn't actually trying to win them, just pretending to...

Technology has come a long way.

I also think Nadal was faster here than he is today. He's still fast today but he was faster here IMO.

[Steve0904]

The Wimbledon 08 final was the best for drama no doubt, but in tennis quality this match or the Aussie final in 09 are better IMO. Federer didn't play all that well in the Wimbledon 08 final IMO.

HD, my ass.

[xcoollynch]

for some reason has any one noticed.. just 2-3 shots on federer forehand and nadal is crushed?????????????

[zdlore1985]

@ninman58 He beat Nadal in four sets at Wimbledon. A month later

[youziness]

@ninman58 if he has a 2 handed backhand that return deeper than this, i think nadal will be destroyed. Because nobody can rally federer's forehand until now. Every time nadal get a shot into the BH he reset the rally. The 1 hander only serve a function of slice which is easy meat for a top spin expert. Imagine federer with 2 hander, he can easily stay at center of court against Nadal. Nadal will need to gamble and hit big. It is what happened against djoko, but djoko's FH isn't as lethal.

[ninman58]

@harhog1234 This is 10 times better. At this point Federer still truly believed he could win. He got tight at match point, but other than that, he played this entire match truly, mentally believing he would win it.

After this Federer has never believed he would beat nadal, not truly.
