Now that two of them have retired, you realize we may have witnessed the greatest era in tennis history. The funny thing is, while we were living through it, we never fully understood how special it was. Now we miss it dearly.

They should have played on through the rain. It’s part of the sport, you can play on clay in the rain. I think Djoker would have won it

@SiLoMixMasterNadal melhor de todos os tempos
@isaacgamessena2481I believe he was touching between 25-30 slams if he wasn't plagued by injuries. That's why he's my 🐐
@dannyell_2010s, what an amazing sporting era, messi ronaldo etc novak nadal federer, steph curry lebron kobby.. formula too, overall peak sporting lvl
@SkillsofAestheticsThe bench smash was unnecessary, should have been defaulted
@jdaws4896فروزا نادال 🎉
@infinity427aaWhat an amazing period for tennis! I Remember being a kid and watching tennis literally all day! So many fantastic players and matches!
@pimoshmalto3061I think the most shocking part of this was going out on a double fault. A year undefeated at slams, with some of the most unreal match point saves along the way, and the long streak ends on a double fault. Ouch.
@J_NoNamesLeft73Nadal stroke is very good at clay cord he had high topspin and curves ball trajectory the ball become wild when it bounched
@TheodorickAsdoAfter 3 losses in GS, this was sweet for Rafa.
@KuchNahiBasAiseHiHoy solo pechos fríos hay. El peor top ten de la historia, Nole en sillas de rueda y es el No. 4
@Eva-si5spIf there were no rain Nadal would lost.
@SajidRafique-k4lRafa Nadal le faltaba una ganada más para ser en ganar roland Garros los 15 títulos y hay iba tener 23 Títulos ganando y la lección lo hizo que se retire del tennis
@daxell.11Nadal saved by the rain.
@igysa1the fact is that everyone is saying nadal didn't take a set against djokovic post 2013
until 2012 djokovic also didn't take a set against nadal at RG
14 finals played, 14 finals won. Nadal's legacy in Roland Garros will always be remembered
@alanledesma4945I support Nadal🇪🇸
@gabrielrodriguezfernandez7526The disruption of the Djokovic s come back is one of the what ifs of watching tennis. Maybe this was the time that Novak could made the cut and win Nadal in RG final
@gianniskamakas3578When the year 2012 is termed classic...you know you're getting old.
@max7even284Djokovic has a look like, is this even tennis that we're playing, at one point.
@Matthew-k1u1nit needs to be said that novak is the 2nd greatest clay player of all time. and still rafa dominated in that era.
@Gkogko839Nadal was an absolute Demon. No human Beats him in that court if Hes healthy
@DIEGOF.L-h9xY PENSAR QUE DJKOVIC SIGUE JUGANDO FINALES DE GRAND SLAM EN 2026, ES EL MEJOR DEPORTISTA DE LA HISTORIA
@j.r.621Out of the big 3. Nadal v djokovic was the greatest rivalry. The most intense. It was better than federer v nadal, or federer v djokovic. In my opinion .
@robocop5935Djokovic is the second greatest clay-court player in history.
This version of Djokovic would have beaten the prime of any player ever on this surface.
There was only one exception: the king of clay, the greatest challenge in the history of sport — beating Rafa Nadal at Roland Garros.
And even then, Djokovic managed to beat him there twice.
Djokovic es el segundo mejor jugador de la historia sobre tierra batida.
Este Djokovic le habría ganado en su mejor momento a cualquier jugador de la historia en esta superficie.
Solo hubo una excepción: el rey de la tierra batida, el mayor reto en la historia del deporte — ganar a Rafa Nadal en Roland Garros.
Y aun así, Djokovic consiguió ganarle allí dos veces.
لماذا لم يستخدم نادال يده اليمنى للإرسال ثم يكمل باقي النقطة بيده اليسرى ؟
بما أن إرساله كان ضعيفا
هل القانون يمنع ذلك ؟
man nadal was really handsome. he aged terribly.
@QIYICIjohn mc said that Sinner and Alcaraz will beat prime Nadal on clay lololololo
@fawadafzal1585Nadal looks so different now. That's crazy.
@WordalwaysEminem Berzerk X Michael Jackson Who Is It (Mandell Mashup)
Rafael Nadal & Novak Djokovic
Federer lacks strong mentality, djokovic lacks self control
Nadal excels at both 💪🔥😎
24:58 Why was he apologizing?
@eldadappiah7828Novak is lucky he didn't lose in straight sets coz of rain delays.
@VinayKumar-vc7vf26🎉
@Younkingwz26the rain saved Nadal, if not, Novak will win 3sets in a row
@zerongwang5764King of clay
@sbkumar5987Rafael Nadal on clay - the greatest tennis player in history.
@mainemceachern1521THE GOAT AND NADAL!!!!!!!!
@airkunaIs frightening how Nadal punishes opponents on clay😢
@NuraJaafar-m4cForgotten match but high quality. The best final between them. Djokovic was going to force 5 set till the rain stopped the action. The court was more heavy by the humidity, so top spin of Rafa wasn't doing the damage like was doing in the first 2 sets, isn't casualty that he did that comeback the 4 set in the next day. I consider this the 3rd best match between them here, behind RG 2013 and RG 2021.
@GeorgeCen🔥🔥🔥🔥
@albin.7777Novak of 2012 would beat Carlos, Sinner of today in three straight sets - no problem.
@rsundar1973Such was the level of Rafa on clay that prime Roger n prime novak would play their absolute best n still get beaten handsomely....but boy did Djoker gave Rafa fits on clay....... !!!!
