Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal - Australian Open 2019 Final Highlights HD

He had a lot to do with that...neither guy had a weak draw.

yeah...we are just going to have to agree to disagree. Like I said rafa played well but his draw was weak imo. With that being said it doesnt matter you can only beat who is front of you and I have no doubt he Is going to tear up clay season

 

[DarlesChickens]

No chairs needed this time during the ceremony.

 

[Service Ace]

Nadal hasn't won a match against the Big 2 off clay in 5 years.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Novak Djokovic is the guy, ya know. 7 from 7. Absolutely tremendous. And when you consider where he was this time last year. It is truly something special. As for Rafa Nadal. Well, ya know. Better luck next time.

 

[Fed881981]

Nadal was playing kids the entire tournament, and finally faced a serious opponent. The result: 3, 2 & 3.

 

[tennis_pro]

This is the new kia guy?

lol what an improvement, faaaail

 

[DragonBlaze]

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.

Was just about to post this.

It is just as bad unfortunately.
Just got to forget about it and move on for Rafa. Not sure if there is much to take away/learn from this match either.

 

[Mr Feeny]

Hahaha keep whining. Wait till Novak passes Fed in the slam count.

Fed didn't have mono at RG08 that's a fact. Only in your delusional fairy land, you need to use that as an excuse. Ignoring the fact that they played in 2 clay masters finals leading up to that RG final and both were nowhere near as lopsided.

Save that for another thread! Let's just enjoy the fact that Djokovic demolished healthy, non-mono ridden Nadal in 3 quick sets to become the Aussie open GOAT!

 

[I Am Finnish]

No Kia guy boooooo

 

[powerangle]

I don't know which part I'm more happy about as a Novak fan: the fact that he has a standalone record at AO with his #7, or that he just passed up Sampras on the all-time slam count list. Both are awesome achievements. The Big 3 are certainly the top 3 of the Open Era!

Great, masterful play from him tonight. Not the best I've seen him play, but it's up there.

Rafa didn't play nearly his best but he’s such a nice guy and champion. I hope Rafa can get back to playing as well as we know how he can play. Thank you Rafa for always staying classy.

 

[RFGOAT1992]

Many congratulations to Novak, his team and fans. It was painful and a bit shocked to watch as a Rafa fan but Novak was simply too good. Only admiration for him.

Novak's kids watching the match btw - so adorable. <3<3

they say father time makes a player weak, look at federer and djokovic. they have something to fight for now. maybe rafa should take notes. lol

 

[La Grande]

Get to the players speeches ffs

 

[Next Gen Volleys]

It's quite remarkable. Everyone thought Roger would be near-untouchable when he was at 17 majors. Now Rafa has just that and Novak is creeping very close at 15.

 

[TripleATeam]

3 in a row for Novak. That's insane!

 

[RF-18]

They talk too much. Give Nadal and Djoko the moment

 

[Ledigs]

Kinda sucks for Rafa since he only gets one slam a year on his best surface while Novak gets two. He’s unlikely to win on HC while Novak is very likely to win. Novak needs more clay wins to even his legacy out.

[icedevil0289]

??? both guys had weak draws.

I think Medvedev was slightly tricky but tbh its not shocking seeing the top 2 seeds get goo draws thats how it usually goes

 

[BeatlesFan]

Still waiting on that serve to show up

The hype over Rafa’s “new” serve was ridiculous. The real story of the match was that Djokovic won 80% of his service points and Nadal won half. Just demolition.

 

[RaulRamirez]

??? both guys had weak draws.

Keep telling yourself that.

 

[Dilexson]

Nice of them to invite Ivan. He smiles too...

 

[Sarzy]

Congrats to Novak and his fans!

 

[Deleted member 120290]

Highest level of tennis ever displayed by Nole.

 

[Firstservingman]

AO is the best, comfirmed by Nadal himself

 

[Federev]

Well He gave Novak a way closer run for his money over 3 sets in Paris just a couple of months ago ...Because he knows how to frustrate Novak’s pace with slice and because he can serve.

He certainly is not any worse than he was in Paris.

 

[Ledigs]

Rafa is so cute

It's not like ao and USO play exactly the same and well it's not like he dominated USO either.

 

[Mr.Lob]

Congrats to Djokovic. A man on a mission to surpass Frederer. After this.performance,the only variable is time.

 

[Jonas78]

What do you mean “ugly”?

This.

 

[mike danny]

AO is really the cursed slam for Nadal.

A decade has passed since he last won it, like Fed with the USO.

After Nadal won his last AO, Fed has won 3 titles.

After Fed won his last USO, Nadal has won 3 titles.

lol

He’s not even close to surpass Federer.

Keep dreaming bud!

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

This is the new kia guy?

lol what an improvement, faaaail

There was another white guy last year

 

[Mr Feeny]

What happened to the KIA guy? These guys are even worse.

Nadal: "Tonight wasn't my best day." "Many congratulations to Novak and his team".

 

[Ledigs]

Great he is taking positives from this tournament

Emotional two weeks for RAFA???

 

[icedevil0289]

Rafas speeches are usually good.

 

[tennis_pro]

There was another white guy last year

not the fat guy

 

[Imperator]

If Nadal plays like this at RG, there’s no way he’ll be able to beat this version of Djokovic.

 

[RaulRamirez]

Nadal: "Tonight wasn't my best day." "Many congratulations to Novak and his team".

Novak and Rafa still waiting for their chairs from 2012 ceremony...

 

[Dilexson]

Man , Rafa's so used to loser's speech here...

 

[NatF]

Keep telling yourself that.

Final aside right? Seeing as you're a guy that constantly talks down Federer's era denying that both guys had soft draws is rather rich...

But whatever.

 

[zagor]

He did. Nadal doesn't at the moment.
Hardcourt isn't Nadal's worst surface.

Now, enjoy the drubbing.

Maybe not HC in general but in this era AO's surface (since 2008) seems to be Nadal worst to me as far as slams are concerned. His monster FH just doesn't seem to have as much bite as it does in other slams (including Wimbledon).

 

[La Grande]

Great, thorough, articulate speech from Rafa wow.

Excellent. Hope it doesn’t end with a retirement hint ffs...

 

[The Green Mile]

Quite a long speech from Rafa

 

[Mike Sams]

What new serve? What new BH and FH? This was Nadal's worst performance against Djokovic in slam history. Fire Moya!

 

[Ledigs]

Great speech

This ceremony about to be longer than the match here

 

[abmk]

He had a lot to do with that...neither guy had a weak draw.

You have to be absolutely pathetically clueless to believe Nadal didn't have a very weak draw to the final.


Djoko's was weak as well, though not as weak as Nadal's.

 

[Mr Feeny]

Novak and Rafa still waiting for their chairs from 2012 ceremony...

Yeah, that was ridiculous. Both looked exhausted and were bent over.

 

[Deleted member 120290]

Today may have officially ended Nadal's chase of Fed's GS total
