Djokovic v Nadal - For the Final Time. Match 61 at the Six Kings Slam

[SonicNirvana]

Never did take another set of Djokovic on hard after the USOpen final in 2013...

This wouldn’t have counted either way lol

 

[RF-18]

Thank you Rafael Nadal!

One of the greatest athletes ever. I'll never forget the epics.

 

[Lleytonstation]

weird… a mini break for Djoker after a weird volley from Nadal that I would have expected to see from Djoker if Djoker was trying to tank. Like he went right at Djoker with no pace off an easy volley

Rafa has nothing left, and he knew it. That and he has his Davis Cup to play which he needs to be healthy for. He likely did not want a third set.

 

[SonicNirvana]

Very nicely done.

Technically if we are including exhos or non tour stuff, like this match, I think he won two in 2019

 

[Deleted member 805385]

That was emotional when they hugged at the net.

 

[GabeT]

Depends on who wins.

 

[Red Rick]

We can sleep easy, citizens of planet Earth

 

[Lleytonstation]

Yeah, this does not count for h2h lol

 

[I Am Finnish]

Yeah probably. I don’t keep track of exhibitions besides when someone is retiring

 

[I Am Finnish]

LOL

 

[Bastion]

They must find those few coward weak sad little guys booing in the crowd and throw them off a cliff, really, no respect for these legends, really sad stuff.

Nadal's journey starts in at least 2005 it's slander not to include it

 

[GabeT]

I’m going to miss these two playing

 

[Lleytonstation]

Djoker adding years or their rivalry ha

 

[I Am Finnish]

It was 2006, Egg

 

[GabeT]

It was 2006, Egg

Pre 2011 it’s all hazy as tennis hadn’t really developed yet

 

[Move]

Great speech by Novak, as usual

 

[Lleytonstation]

Pre 2011 it’s all hazy as tennis hadn’t really developed yet

lol

 

[I Am Finnish]

Egg don't want Nadal to leave the tennis world

 

[FeroBango]

Novak, a master player and a master speaker at the end of Tennis matches. Beautiful.

 

[Bastion]

Thanks Rafa, what a legend, and thanks to him and Fed for also help 'creating' Novak, epic stuff.

 

[Palindrome]

I’m going to miss these two playing

It's heartbreaking. A tribute video for Rafa, nicely done.

 

[FeroBango]

Tonight I'm glad I saw Rafa hit the greatest shot in Tennis -- his end-range Forehand that lands at the very corner of the court.

 

[djokovic the conqueror]

Still can't win a set against Djokovic on hard courts.

 

[Hitman]

Pure gold racket!

 

[FeroBango]

Imagine living as djokovic the conqueror, the id above. Yikes.

 

[Hitman]

Still can't win a set against Djokovic on hard courts.

Come on man. Not now.

 

[BlueB]

Laver Cup is counting for h2h.

It's a joke.

 

[Succession]

I love Rafa forever and ever.
Just wish I could unsee this cringe golden racquet handover and his proactive involvement in SA sportswashing.

 

[TheAssassin]

Something nice about Nadal getting a chance to play against the biggest rival and against the heir in his last couple of singles matches. Go get that Pique Cup now...

 

[roysid]

Is that a gold plated racket. Hope its not entirely golden

 

[Bastion]

If there is one day a movie about the Big Three, which actors can try and be them in a movie, if it can be done?

 

[tennisjedi]

Still can't win a set against Djokovic on hard courts.

Nadal will forever be rent free in your head.

 

[roysid]

what was first match between rafa and novak. Was it at roland garros

 

[BlueB]

Pure gold racket!

I'm sure it's plated. You could see it's not the weight you'd expect from pure gold, the way he held it.

 

[tennisjedi]

what was first match between rafa and novak. Was it at roland garros

Yes. 2006 Roland Garros when Djokovic famously said he was in control of the match.

 

[jl809]

If there is one day a movie about the Big Three, which actors can try and be them in a movie, if it can be done?

Noomi Rapace - Nadal
Jimmy Carr - Federer
BJ Novak - Djokovic

 

[Bastion]

Yes. 2006 Roland Garros when Djokovic famously said he was in control of the match.

That was SO funny, young arrogant goat, maybe he was talking about 15 years later? lol

 

[Nostradamus]

is that thing Pure Gold ?? i wonder how much that is worth ? Rafa was scratching his leg with it but ,,

 

[Bastion]

Won't be surprised if Rafa going to sell it on e-bay later tonight.

 

[Nostradamus]

Won't be surprised if Rafa going to sell it on e-bay later tonight.

how much would you pay for it ?

 

[Tallawah Tennis]

Novak, a master player and a master speaker at the end of Tennis matches. Beautiful.

Spot on, man. Novak's tribute and just his stately demeanour was special. His game looked good too.

Excellent tribute by the event. Rafa also speaking well, a gracious thank you to those supporting him around the world and his gratitude for having had the opportunity to compete. An emotional moment this, with his last match with a great rival.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Thank you Rafael Nadal!

One of the greatest athletes ever. I'll never forget the epics.

My bad you were talking about the first match play so yes 2006

 

[Incognito]

Egg don't want Nadal to leave the tennis world

That’s because Nadal can no longer compete. Would he have said the same thing in 2006?

 

[Bastion]

how much would you pay for it ?

$4.50 ?

 

[Nostradamus]

$4.50 ?

its pure Gold which is just in raw materials alone is worth like $50,000

 

[nolefam_2024]

its pure Gold which is just in raw materials alone is worth like $50,000

Let's not make a big deal out of this.
