Wish more footage of 2005 was available
Who you got?
Nadal said he's never seen someone play better than Djokovic Doha 2016.
And he saw Federer play in 2005.
I'd also not seen Nadal make so many errors and unable to string 5-6 shots together like he did that match against Djokovic.
It is well established that 2005 Nadal is an inexperienced tennis rookie. How do you expect him to properly assess Federer's level in 2005, even if he saw him?Nadal said he's never seen someone play better than Djokovic Doha 2016.

It wasn't really about the errors, just the total lack of anything on his ball, characteristic of Nadal in that period.I'd also not seen Nadal make so many errors and unable to string 5-6 shots together like he did that match against Djokovic.
Djokovic 29/13 W/UE
Nadal 9/11 W/UE
Yeah but there’s like no footage of itDidn't Fed defeat Ljubicic in the final though?
I’m talking about form throughout the entire tournamentDjokovic would win IMO, that was his absolute Earth's Mightiest Warrior form.
Federer IMO wasn't in his true God Form in that Doha 05 match.

''Since I know this sport I never saw somebody playing at this level''
Different tournaments. Federer's level was very high. He just ran into a red hot player in the semis. nobody at 2016 AO was playing at that level.Djokovic 2016 Doha did win it AO
Federer 2005 Doha did not.
Maybe he changed his mind after IW 2017
