2019 Australian Open Men’s Singles Final (1) Novak Djokovic V (2) Rafael Nadal

[metsman]

Can anyone imagine Fedal taking the ball off their head like that? Lol... I don't mean to sound too bitter it's just kind of surprising to see from an ATG.

Fed did it in the Delpo beatdown.

 

[CentreCourt]

Now a very good chance Djokovic at least levels Nadal in terms of slams this year.

 

[Jezza94]

Fantastic performance by Djokovic! A privilege to watch that.

Djokovic is the AO GOAT. Outright leader of the most Australian Open Titles.

 

[stringertom]

Thank you, srshs!

RLA lives up to its acronym...Rafa Looses Again.

 

[NatF]

Harder for the other guy to hold serve too then no?

Fed got murdered that day and while yes, Nadal is copping a mighty beating tonight, it's nowhere near that bad.

Nah it's close.

Nads won 92 points to Feds 52, today Djok won 89 Nads 53.

It's just the idiosyncrasies of clay court tennis that magnified the dominance in the scoreline.

 

[flyinghippos101]

Ended the way it started: with a crappy error by Rafa. I don't think I've ever seen Nadal dominated like this in a GS final.

 

[Next Gen Volleys]

2nd Novak Slam coming at Roland Garros?

 

[maratha_warrior]

Djoker has now beaten Federer Nadal Murray 12 matches in a row now in Slams...

 

[ghostofMecir]

Let him win a couple pf slams, then he will burn out again and maybe injured from playing like this. again.
Will not last forever.

Holier than thou fake persona showing its true colors here. Pathetic.

 

[NoleFam]

He did it. Supreme performance. The best he has EVER played in a Slam final. Impossible to play peak tennis at 31? I don't think so. AO GOAT!

Commiserations to Nadal and his great fans on here. He wasn't at his best tonight and I don't like to see legends lose like this. He will bounce back from this though and still the favorite for another RG title.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Lol at the man who get the racquet wearing Uniqlo.

 

[hendrasdr]

D*mn, my internet connection let me down ... But glad for the outcome

 

[kishnabe]

Nadal never had a chance. At least Fed toom a set 2016 when facing no miss Djok.

 

[mike danny]

Novak Djokovic: the 18th slam stopper since 2014.

 

[Zebrev]

Nadal has never lost in straight sets in the final of a slam I believe.

Wimbledon 2006.

 

[Shank Volley]

Nothing epic about the match aside from the clinical performance and clean hitting. As for Nadal? Get routined, son. Standing further back to return isn't 'problem solving'.

Nice celebration from Novak as well.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

We'll I supported Nadal more in this match, but Djokovic was just awesome. What a victory. Congrats to him and his fans.

DESTROYED

ANNIHILATED

NOVAK DJOKOVIC!!!

 

[The_Order]

Unreal tonight from Novak. Nadal just didn't bring it tonight. Novak did.

7 AO titles but seriously whoever even thought Fed was equal with him at AO was delusional.

 

[scotus]

Xisca: I wish I had that racquet!

 

[minorchords164]

Thought Djokovic might eat some cement then.

 

[La Grande]

Xisca smirking, Alexis Sanchez esque

 

[metsman]

Nah it's close.

Nads won 92 points to Feds 52, today Djok won 89 Nads 53.

It's just the idiosyncrasies of clay court tennis that magnified the dominance in the scoreline.

and 08 RG Nadal being way better than a near 32 year old Djokovic.

 

[Krish872007]

Djokovic wins his 7th Australian Open - too good today! Wonderful from him, he smothered Rafa from the start and never really let up - consistent brilliance

 

[icedevil0289]

No, it wasn't. Just the usual crud from posters to demean both Rafa and Novak. Rafa played a great tourney to get to the final.

It can be both though no doubt Rafa played well but let's not pretend that anyone prior to the final really pushed him.

 

[BeatlesFan]

A stunning performance from Djokovic.

 

[AceSalvo]

Norman Cup rightfully back to its Owner.

 

[Mr Feeny]

Congratulations to Djokovic and his fans. The AO GOAT. Excellent performance and he's on a 3 slam winning streak. Incidently, he has just passed Sampras on the all time GS list.

 

[Night Slasher]

Congrats to all Nole fans. To be honest, I thought he was pretty much done after seeing his 2017 and the first half of 2018, but he's now on his way to win four slams in a row, again! What an incredible athlete.

 

[RF-18]

Rafas team devastade and shocked by the defeat, and Djokovics all time high level!!!

 

[gn]

Congrats to Djoker on his 15th Slam Title. Djokovic fans must be delighted.

 

[Tennisgods]

So fascinating to see what happens at FO now!!! Djokovic favourite at this point???

 

[joekapa]

Words simply cannot describe what happened in there today.

Nadal had no answer, whatsoever.

 

[icedevil0289]

Still Novak rememeber our deal should miraculously fed reach a Wimbledon final and you do too

 

[Duncan Donuts]

Is this the first time Nadal has lost a GS Final in straight sets?????

 

[Steve0904]

It is not the body this time.

It is the body. He's just not injured.

 

[JadeC]

The undisputed AO KING!!

 

[Ledigs]

Saw Djokovic courtside at US Open and he has zero flaws in his game

[La Grande]

If Djokovic wins the French, he’ll have the double career slam before Nadal FFSSSSSSSS

 

[bezs]

Well deserved win for Novack, simply too good.

 

[Stanzad]

Was Nadal's draw really that bad? De Minaur, Good-Form Berdych, Tiafoe, Tsitsipas?

Yep, De Minaur is an amateur player. Third line of Australian players, Berdych was coming back from injury, choked just seeing Nadal in the other part of the court. Tiafoe and Tsitsipas none of them has a killer weapon or is even consistent to bother Rafa enough.

 

[reaper]

It's back to June 2016. Federer 3 in front of Nadal, who's 2 in front of Djokovic.

 

[Midaso240]

Novak was just too good tonight. Rafa should keep his head up,there is nothing anyone could have done in this match to get a look in...

 

[scotus]

Of course, along with Rafa!

So fascinating to see what happens at FO now!!! Djokovic favourite at this point???

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Was Pepe secretly paid by Fed? That would make a lot more sense

 

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

At best, this will go four sets, and to me it seems Djokovic is going to have much easier time implementing his strategy, which is his normal way of playing Nadal, than Nadal will, who has to play outside his comfort zone to get past Novak.

Hitman, you pretty much laid out how this match was going to unfold!
A straights set affair for Djokovic, and by the way, Djokovic now has the Australian Open men's record. Well done, Novak!

 

[jimjam]

You know you've done your job as a fan, when a player walk across the court to give you his racket after a match.

GOAT serbian fan, l,ol

 

[Alexandre]

I'd rather Novak wins Roland Garros this year than Wimbledon and US Open both. It'd be much more thrilling.

 

[Service Ace]

Need a screen grab of that Xisca look lol
That, "I'm wondering what Stepanek is up to" expression

 

[Incognito]

Djokovic bout to be closer to Ned than Ned is to Fed.

That's crazy.

Djokovic Will break Fed’s record, not Nadal. I’ve said that many times.
