One of my greatest regrets in life, going to sleep after the 2nd set.
lol same!
Oh Man... i feel it😂😂
Lol same man, it was a long day for me I didn't sleep for 16 hours and after 0:2 and I guess even 3d game of the 3d set went to sleep
What's your reaction.when you woke up and saw the score??
So sad
A almost retired Nadal coming back from 2-0 down against a prime Daniil. Truly one of the best finals I have witnessed
It was fake championship. Fakest in history. Nadal sacrificed his soul and body to try to get ahead of Novak, but 1.5 years later 24>22 lol

not really
@@lnz971 Correction. Not a great match if you are a Frauderer or Chokeovic fan.
Rafael Nadal reached Australian open finals 6 Times(2009,2012,2014,2017, 2019,2022) won 2 Australian open titles in open era(1968 to 2022) also.
AO 2012 was far better when both Rafa and Djokovic fighting at very similar intensity and very aggressive! However, as a Djokovic fan, I enjoyed this AO 2022 from tactical perspective.
I will never, ever forget that match. The rollercoaster of emotions I experienced during that match was crazy!
At 0-2, 2-3, 0-40 in the third set, everybody was giving up on Nadal, even the commentators. I remember them saying something like Medvedev just needed the last nail in the coffin, and after that things would be over. When Medvedev broke back 5-5 in the fifth set, Nadal was having flashbacks of the 2012 final. Somehow he pulled it off, one of the greatest wins in his incredible career. I was so proud when he reached 21 GS, and for some time he stood alone at the summit of men's tennis.
Very well said 😊
Spanish commentators said Meddy was the idols killer when Nadal 0-40 in the third
Not for long. Even after sacrificing his health and body in attempt to vulture off Novak’s deportation, his GS slam record didn’t even last a year. 24>21+1* but we all know the real gap is bigger

Nadal's post match celebtration and the kneeling will for me be one of the most emotional iconic moments in tennis history ever
yeah like saying "thanks for not letting Novak to play"
@marcohubner339 Just like Novak conveyed thanks to God for keeping Rafa injured on all the 3 occasions when he won the FO
@@raghu2390😂😂 Great Comeback comment!!
@@profesorz642 got thrashed by Rafa 8 times 😂 Which includes one bagel as well
@profesorz642 no one denied that Novak dominated Rafa on hard courts... but to say Novak thrashed Rafa at Roland Garros is stupid... Rafa has lost only 3 times at Roland Garros and has an 8-2 record there against Novak... Rafa's losses at the French Open were clearly due to him not being at 100% health... even remotely close to his best, he will always be the favorite at the French... his game is built in such a way that he just won't lose on clay in a best of 5!
"This match which forever will be known as Rafa's resurrection to further greatness"
I will never be able to describe what this match means to me
For every Rafa fans it's a great emotion ❤

@@petarmarjanovic9622 You are the problem with tennis. Toxic fans like you
One of the greatest matches in sport, not just in tennis. It was everything! Daniil's hard court mastery. Rafa's street fight. It was an outrageous five and a half hours. Thank you, Daniil and Rafa!
@@lov6858 Please make sure people can at least understand your BS. The correct term is 'people without scruples'...
What are you talking about Medvedev was way below par. It was an entertaining match regardless but it's Medvedev's fault for squandering the chance to pull off a simple, painless victory. If that was Djokovic then the match would be over in under 2 hours.
@@viksinha5410 Statistically he was playing the best tennis all tournament for the first three sets, and his stats were still great for the remainder of the match
@@kirby4599 His stats might have been great, but that doesn’t mean his game plan was. He was sticking to the same game plan he had from the start, even though that was no longer working as Rafa had changed his game plan from the third set onwards.
Why Rafa played so well when Djokovic was not allowed to participate?
Didn’t even include Nadal saving the three break points down 3-2 in the third.
Seriosuly that's ridiculous
Because they were misses from Medvedev
@@viksinha5410 stop hating nadal in the comments man wtf so sad
@@joseluiiiis What's sad is that Nadal fakes injuries to avoid playing against Djokovic on hard court 😂😂😂
@@viksinha5410 Nadal ended this Australian open and was diagnosed with an abdominal tear (6-8 weeks recovery) and it was EVIDENT he couldn't play 100%, hell not even 60%. Meanwhile, Djokovic was complaining ALL GAME, which is disrespectful to the rival, while playing the best tennis, running every point not losing a single set in the whole tournament. What did the doctor say? Officially? NOTHING.
By far the most inspiring grand slam final.
Everytime i watch the championship point my eyes get filled. This is the immense love for Rafa in me. Comeback soon Rafa
The match which motivatied me to never give up even when situations are all against you & the power of Hope 🔥💯Thnq Rafa ❤️
I have watched this so many times and will never get tired of it. Thank you RAFA...for giving us such joy. You are THE Best
I felt & went through every emotion Rafa went through on the court, I cried so much won he won, they were happy tears For me this man is the only GOAT
Same with me my friend, my mom watching me strangely as she don't know about tennis but she sence those are happy tears
As a novak fan I accept right now rafa is the goat
Now infected people can play tennis,last year the best player in the world was arrested and imprisoned with migrants..Wait,what is this hello who is the kangaroo in this story
@@aleksandarvukovic5886 hello Vic country stepped in in this comments section😂😂
The greatest comebacks of all time! And one of the greatest matches ever played. Rafa totally whole heartedly deserved that title.
You should've shown the game in set 3 where Rafa was 3-2, 40-0 down and ended up winning that game. That was literally the start of his come back and a critical moment in the match.
Yes they missed it
25:08 ball kid was happy too 🤩🤩🤩
As a Rafa fan since 2005, this was the most satisfying win for me
And to think that he won because Nole was not allowed to play… that must sting 🐝😅😅
@@albertapostol5142who cares about that clown 😂 This is about Rafas comeback vs Medvedev.
@@albertapostol5142 incorrect term, he CHOSED not to play
almost for every rafa;s fan !!
@@albertapostol5142 The fact that you felt the need to make this comment, clearly shows Rafa's win here stings you more. lol
I've said it countless times and I'll say it again Its been an absolute privilege to watch Big 3 play I'm so glad and so proud that I've grown up watching these 3 titans I doubt we'll ever experience such emotions from tennis in our lifetime Rome 2006, Wimbledon 2007, Wimbledon 2008, Australian Open 2009, Wimbledon 2009, US Open 2011, Australian Open 2012, US Open 2013, Rafa-Novak rivalry at Roland Garros, Wimbledon 2014, 2018 and 2019, Novak-Stan matches at Grand Slams in 2013-2016, Nadal-Medvdev US Open and Australian Open finals The list goes on and on Thank you three for all those emotions and for witnessing true greatness
also random god performances from random players at times, stan, tsonga, davydenko, just so many players that would randomly rise to be able to just beat one of them once. and that their crowning achievement in their careers perhaps xD
i can understand being glad but being proud? That has nothing to do with you only just when you happened to be born
This entire generation of sports for that matter. Ronaldo & Messi in football, Schumacher, Hamilton and Vettel in F1, Sachin, Warne and Kohli in cricket, MJ Kobe and LeBron in Basketball. Those born in the 80s and 90s are truly lucky motherfuckers!
Well said
I have not seen many sports,but tennis in Australia is special thing.
Yes unreal atmosphere
Such a great final! I really thought Rafa was gonna lose in straights, but seeing him make that amazing comeback and win it in five was spectacular! Glad he was able to add another Australian Open after trying for oh so long! 👏🏻
I was for Medvedev because I like his way of seeing tennis as a tactical battle, but Rafa gained my respect forever this day That's the mark of champions, finding a way to win even when everything seemed desperate
It is Feb 5, 2023, noontime in my country and I must have watched this AO 2022 Finals a hundred times already. But I know I will not tire of watching it and I will always cherish the moment of Rafa's victory, in my mind and in my heart.
same here bro , enjoy your life and beautiful nights .
Memories gives life to the moments. To the best three, and the upcoming nimbers, I love you all
One of the best comebacks in Nadal's history! ✌
One of the best comebacks ever!
two sets down would demoralize most but nadal has a attitude of never die never give up & HE HAS MY UNDYING ADMIRATION
When you take a shot at the king, make sure it's a killing shot
improbable victory Vamos Rafa
Thank you so much god for this match And thank you Rafa you’re the greatest!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤
*God
@@dienfhet5179 mate you know what he means
@@dienfhet5179 yep
Loss for words here. An incredible display of skill and willpower. I am not so happy for Nadal, and wish he could be around for a long time.
Rafael toujours plein de courage et de volonté c est super continue vamos ❤
God, this is one of my favorite/most nerve racking matches ever!!! this man's mind power is just beyond crazy!!!
One of the best finals I have witnessed to watching
The most heartbreaking match for me as a Meddy fan 😢 It was a beginning of his hard times followed by surgery, Wimbledon ban and political situation….
Meddy is a outstanding player and good human being....love from India.
Agreed, but the crowd was booing him all the time and were disrespectful to him. Contemptible behavior shouldn’t be tolerated.
And now another australian open final loss from a 2-0 lead, feels bad man
Here I am watching it for 15th time and probably be watching again for many years to come 🙏
In all the years of watching tennis this is by far the best match I've ever watched. Even watching these highlights now makes me ride a wave of emotions.
Uno de los espectáculos deportivos más increíbles que vi en mi vida!. Por si fuera poco Nadal logra su segundo título en australia. Toda una proeza y demostrando que puede encontrar soluciones a todo....
an unforgettable match indeed. I watched this match live in New York and it was a rollercoaster of a match. I thought this was Nadal's greatest comeback, surpassing 2013 US open 2017 RG. Australian Open so many times eluded him but because he won AO for the second time, I would actually be happy and be fully satisfied even if he retires.
Great game 🔥🔥🔥 Also they had amazing 2019 US Open final. But this game is the best in their rivalry. 🎾
Nadal deserved second AO anyway. So many heartbreaks there. The 2012 choke the 2014 injury. The title is well deserved.
2019 too
Surely in the 3rd set Rafa was 2-3 down, and 0-40 down, virtual championship points the way Medvedev was playing, and yet that game wasn't shown!
The celebration is at the level of the match
Incredible match!
Never say die attitude is in abundance in rafa the legend ... Unbelievable
Do you hear me guys? He's the greatest of all time I repeat HE'S THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!! 😭😭🇪🇸🇪🇸
yes bro, nadal is the🐐
@@boydista_307 indeed he is bro
A close 2nd.
Best match ever candidate . Still can’t believe Rafa was out for 6 months and came back from the dead like this against the best player of the moment who’d just thrashed Nole in New York. Rafa GOAT!
I respect their commitment to the organise all this.
Best come back in the grand slam final history
Epic game!!!! Most inspiring grand slam!!
Superlatives fall short for describing his performance at the 2022 AO. the final is something out of this world
He was superb..wow, wat a game.
Медведев супер теннисист! Уважаю и как спортсмена и как человека! Сегодня день Надаля! И так же супер теннисист!❤молодцы ребята достойный финал! Рафу поздравляю с победой в финале!❤
2024 todavia lo veo y fue emocionante...
Great Match!
I still get emotional watching this
So love this final match! Watch it over and over again! Vamos Rafa! 💪🔥♥
I turned off match when score was 0-2* 2-3 0-40. I back when Rafa made a break in that set 😂 Greatest comeback 💪😊
En México el partido fue en la madrugada, vi los dos primeros sets y al ver que Medvedev lo tenía en la bolsa me fui a formir, después desperté y vi que el partido aún no terminaba porque Rafa había llevado el partido al quinto set, no lo podía creer, que grande lo que hizo Rafa
Any1 that thinks Nadal is finished remember this match and he will be ready in a few weeks and definitely at the French open
Amen to that!
Yeah because he's never injured on clay and he's never injured when he doesn't have to face Novak
@@viksinha5410 Mate, what are you talking about?? He barely made it to RG last year as his foot made him retire from Rome. He didn't win a clay tournament before RG as he always does, and he faced Novak AGAIN, the same as in 2020 and 2021.
One of the amazing matches that Rafa played.....no one could have ever predicted for Rafa to take up this trophy. Kudos to Rafa!!
STILL..goosebumps
One of the best matches I have seen for Rafael Nadal
Being the best GS final in decade at AO, its baffling how u missed to include the TURNING point of championship, 2-3, 0-40 in third set..
Rafa the greatest of all time!! The most tenacious tennis player ever! He never gives up!
Novak is the goat, no matter how politically biased you are.
@@user-yl8gd4pp1nWhy do you assume it’s politically-motivated? Can’t he just simply admire RAFA as a player? Paranoid much?! 😂
@@archied777 you can admire Rafa all you want, his not the goat, Novak is, anyone who claims otherwise is delusional or biased or both
@@user-yl8gd4pp1n That’s not what I was asking, so don’t be too defensive. I just asked how her admiration for Rafa has anything to do with politics. And by the way, it’s “HE’s not the GOAT, not HIS not the GOAT”. 😛 Also, haven’t you heard of the adage, “insults are arguments employed by those who are in the wrong?” The fact that insults and name-calling are the last resort of insecure people with a crumbling position who try to appear confident seems to apply to your response, just proves my point. As you claim, you can admire a player all you want, without the need to disparage others who don’t feel the same way.
@@archied777 you lack context.
For me this match overtook Djokovic's win against Federer at the 2011 US Open as the greatest comeback in tennis history.
Still heartbreak for me
EPIC !!!
Epic
Yes. An extraordinary match. Two extraordinary athletes! All respect and admiration for them, for the way they fought for victory - an open battle in which nothing but their physical, technical and psychological qualities mattered. But the audience... I wonder: how many German spectators (I suppose there were...) and how many spectators of any kind (except Spanish or Nadal fans) burst into applause when the Russian Medvedev (admirable tennis player) scored... In 2022! Sport (any kind of sports competition) is by definition a "space of fair play". But, as they say, life beats the movie - and the spectators of this match confirmed it. So, please, re-watch the match by watching the reactions of the spectators.
Anyone else here after today’s AO final?
Easy win for someone who is getting cheered sooo loud for each winners but extremely hard for someone who is getting shout for his each unforced error👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Did you really not include Nadal down three break points?
Still, the miracle in Melbourne!!!!
I just cant stop watching this video
Crazy crazy crazy, mail biting one. Vamos
Just watched this again, after a year it is still one of the most exciting matches n a testament to the indomitable will of tennis great, Rafa Nadal❤
This match teaches everyone to NEVER EVER give up n loose hope..
One of the Greatest match in AO
Historic!
Bravo !
Probably one of his greatest matches. 2008 Wimbledon final.. 2009 Australian open..
Nadal the man, the sport❤️
Te quiero Rafa!❤
This is a proper final!
I don't know if it's a normal Rafa tick to feel the footboard of the umpire's chair but it seemed so sentimental - obviously he can't believe he made it, but it's like he realizes how much of a miracle what he'd just accomplished is and he wanted to cherish the moment/handshake/end of the match one last time because he truly didn't think he would ever experience it again.
Para mim, o maior jogo de tênis de todos os tempos. Inacreditável a virada do Nadal!!!!!
What a wonderful match. Raffa we love you. 😁
Daniil missing the casual shot to complete double break is turning point
Understated trends match
Miracle of Melbourne ❤❤
Крутой матч 🎉❤😮
Completely awesome Nadal
Lesson for young players! Great Rafael! 🍀🏆
One of the best of 2022. The 2nd best was Nadal vs Djokovic
Still watching in 2023 and excitement are same 😂
До сих пор пересматриваю этот финал. Это было нечто от Надаля. Стала болеть за него , когда Кафельников сеазал, что он не выиграет ни одного ТБШ..
Why am I still getting nervous watching this? Lol as a Rafa fan can't help it
Same here. Even when I know the eventual result, I keep getting nervous at certain points which are now basically the highlights and not LIVE. Boy, what a turnaround it was from the 3rd set.
Greatest match ive seen
Greatest comeback❤
