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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

AO is the best, comfirmed by Nadal himself

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

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.

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

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

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.

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).

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.

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

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