The year when Nadal's serve was at its greatest.
Especially in that tournament
2010 Nadal at the US Open was peak Rafa his entire game was the best it’s ever been from the serve, forehand, backhand, and movement. Especially in these last two sets
Nadal was not losing the US Open in 2010 against anyone, he was serving like a mixture of peak Sampras/peak Roddick and he was hitting his groundstrokes as well as I'd ever seen from him on a hard court, he only lost serve 5 times that whole tournament. Had it not been for the 2 hour rain delay during the 2nd set, Nadal would have most likely won this final in straight sets instead of 4 sets. The rain delay allowed Djokovic to regroup for a few games to win the 2nd set but once he lost his serve early in the 3rd set, it was pretty straightforward for Nadal from that point on.
The fit the serve the backhand all on point
Hopefully more Nadal and Djokovic matches to come before they retire 🤞
Rafa is matching djoker toe to toe in terms of movements. It’s crazy how much physically Rafa has diminished and how much physically Nole has remained the same. Probably Rafa cannot rely on shot making alone to beat Nole on hard court. He needs his speed and defense and that’s why he has never taken a set off Nole since 2014
What’s their head to head at the USO? And for that matter in grand slams against each other?
2020 and 2022 French open Semi and Quarter Joker was at the same spot where he was used to be, and kind of familiar place.
@@hyunhosuh9912 jeez just relax guys its not like they're gonna give you a million bucks for standing up for them.
Nadal played Djokovic that year only 2x and Djokovic played Nadal in 2011 6x. The difference is noticeable. Everything with these 2 is purely circumstancial in favor of Djokovic and H2H is only 29-30.
In those specific years, yes. Keep in mind that there are more GS that Djokovic went deep while Nadal was losing earlier than the other way round though.
@@NamTran-xc2ip They played more or less the same amount of matches on clay than on other surfaces.
Novak won a lot in less important matches
この対決がもう一度見たい… I want to see this showdown again...
this match 😍❤
Such an odd time to upload this... But Thanks :)
2010 Nadal is the best player ever. Rafa/Nole from 10-13 is the best rivalry ever.
Federer Nadal 2005-2009 is the best rivalry ever for me. And 2010 Nadal isn't the best player ever, and it's probably not his best version ever, which is 2013.
Djokovic 2011, never been a better player in the history of tennis.
@@velekorunoski5997 Federer 2006 is clearly the Best ever, hands down
@@alejandrodiaz9148 Djokovic 2011!!!!
@@velekorunoski5997 It is not, I suggest you watch Federer's games in those years and check it out.
This was just a few months before Novak’s incredible 11 season. Unreal
The quality of tennis here is insane. The speed
18:36 Look at Djokovic's defence......just insane....If it was not Peak Rafa..... Djoko would have won against anybody that day
Nadal never served that hard ever again.
but i thought Nadal only beat Djokovic on clay?
After he lost his speed and movement, hard courts became impossible for him
2010 US open Final, 2013 US open Final. Both cases Nadal won the cups final against Djoker which were hard court.
When they were young, fresh, peak/prime, Rafa was the better player. All the statistics prove my point. As soon as they started to age, Djokovic took advantage and improved all his stats. Nadal is definitely greater than Djokovic, he never needed circumstances to help him, and he was the one who compete with Peak Federer. Djokovic was always 3rd.
In 2011, one year later they were suddenly old and off peak Nadal lost 7 finals in a row to Djokovic
@@suanhaupu3057 And in 2010, suddenly Djokovic was too young, not in his prime to face Nadal, hen? It goes both ways
@ stuewz 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@stuewz Both Nadal and Djokovic arguably had their best season at the same age 24, so I'm not sure what you are insinuating. I get that you are a die hard Rafa fan and a Djokovic hater, just don't dismiss other's achievement when in that category they are better than your idol.
@@NamTran-xc2ip It's just a fact. Djokovic was 3rd most of his career in statistics. Nadal was always leading everywhere before they turned old. And talking about circumstances, H2H is also .Djokovic couldn't face Nadal more times in 2010 (only 2x), while Nadal faced Djokovic 6x in 2011. Talking about circumstances, H2H is also.
djokovic is the best player all OFF time
As Djokovic fan, It was a miracle that Djokovic even reached the finals of the US Open 2010 after the horrible years 2009-2010 and the fact the Novak almost lost in the 1st round against Troicki + the match points saved against Roger. Nadal was the better player in this tournament and he fully deserved the win against 2010 Djokovic. But imo the only thing keeping the Djokovic - Nadal rivalry alive is the US Open 2013 win for the Spaniard and the fact that they met so many times on clay. After this USO match, outside clay it's a one way trafic for Djokovic (15 - 3). This being said, Nadal still definitely is top 3 of all times and is a fantastic player.

wooow 2010 nadal was no to old , but since 2011 nadal is to old on hard and grass that he won only 2 times from the last 20 matches on hard and grass since 2011 against GOATkovic.... WOOOW and nadal should be the GOAT; BEFORE 2011 even claydal could win grandslams on grass in the weak era inthe 2000s. THE STRONG ERA from 2011-2016 shows that claydal won only 1 grandslam outside from clay.

2008 and2010 was extreme weak years in tennis that even baby weak djokovic without fittness was better then prime federer in 2008
2010 was relatively weak amid that golden period in tennis yes, but you play who’s in front of you and everyone’s benefited from that type of year at some point. 08 absolutely not and you’re doing Novak a total disservice calling his 08 version weak. I seriously think a lot of your own fanbase sleeps on 07/08 Novak tremendously, he only went through a bit of a rough patch most of 09/10 but the dude was legitimately prodigal in his age 20 and 21 seasons in 07 and 08. The only reason those years get downplayed among early aged greats is bc his contemporary Nadal was an even quicker starter early in his career by comparison. 08 literally has one of his most clean, dominant AO wins of all time among the 10 titles and that year start to finish aside from Wimbledon, he was legitimately awesome w the M1000 wins in Indian wells and Rome (great clay season overall where he played that amazing Hamburg match with Rafa and was already showing he’d become Nadal’s toughest challenge on clay) and then topped it off w his 1st YEC win. The years had their ups and downs ofc and he hadn’t quite found the balance in his game the way he would 2011 on, but for the standards of players at that age, 07/08 Novak was excellent by any metric.
@@slightlybiasedrafaelnadalfan sorry but that 20-21 years old immature djokovic who was not even close to his prime won much more big titles then prime federer 2008 and was the same like federer in the worldranking 2008 AND 2010 one of novak weakest year in his career( like nadal 2015) Was better by grandslam from RG 2010 UNTIL US OPEN 2010 then federer , shows actually how weak the years was 2008 and 2010 when nadal dominate thee tour... Sorry history books dont lies only fedal fans lies, i mean everybody who doesnt see that life in the moon. But after novak break all the tennis records i think the most fedal fans are excused when it comes to reality
@@travisbickle5279 And I never said he was in his prime (most that age aren’t), but discounting him as weak in 07 and 08 is completely disingenuous. Just bc you’re not in your prime doesn’t mean he didn’t play incredibly well those AO 08 and Miami/Montreal 07 runs or during matches like Hamburg and Beijing Olympics semis. From a consistency and maturity standpoint yes, he was not there yet but step back and compare him as a number 3 in those 2 years to other number 3s throughout the course of tennis history and he stands up against most of them. You make it seem like him keeping pace with Federer in 08 is an indictment on Federer being some fraud and I would argue if anything, that shows how worthy an adversary djokovic still was in those years because it’s Roger freaking Federer he was keeping pace with in a year his major results were SF F F W and still racked up 66 wins and won at a >80% clip on the year.
