Yeah.. That was the longest 4set match ever played.. One of the best matches i ever watched.. What an effort from PHM, but still wasnt against Nadal..

You need to have crazy endurance to play on clay, especially at RG

Wow - heads up to Mathieu! Might be one of the top 5 performances ever played against Nadal on this court!

12:25 THAT BACKHAND IS OUT OF THE WORLD.

Two promising young talents. These two look to be improving fast and should have a great career ahead of them if they put in the work!

Nah man, especially the guy with the bandana is useless on this surface.

I have watched the whole game. It was fantastic. Never seen before a man giving hard time to Nadal in RG. Still wasn't enough. Congrats to PHM.

3 years before the Swede, Paul-Henri Mathieu almost pulled a Soderling by hitting insanely hard on both sides going for small targets way more that against any other player. And also playing the short angles extremely well (something Djokovic did to finally beat Nadal in '21) Almost worked...

@Bolly Classics Oh please. He played like crap in 2020 final. And yes I know about his foot problems. The thing is you guys are just out of your mind with excuses. Rafa lost just one set on his way to that semi final and handed 3 bagels. You guys are just bitter and try to downgrade Djokovic as usual. Good thing most people laugh at you. Rafa himseld did not use injury as an excuse. He gave praise to Novak and you should take example out of him rather than being losers.

Everybody knows that Novak is/was always the biggest threat against Rafa on clay, but everybody should also aknowledge the fact that Novak's tactics wouldn't have worked against THIS Rafa. Yes, he's improved his serve, offensive game and variety but Those defensive gets and passing shots that he used to do until 2012/2013, he's not able to do It anymore on a regular basis. Their H2H at Roland Garros is 7/2 for a reason, and even in the 2020 final Rafa was vulnerable but Novak played like shit. If Novak played at his peak in those 2020/2021 matches he would've destroyed Rafa.

@@theobecquet8477 Wrong. Rafa's level was considerably wayyy higher in 2020 RG final match because he thought himself to be the underdog. Everything was against him.. the unusual time of RG due to Covid, the chilled weather, the new heavy balls and the lack of match play as there was no clay swing last year.. all these things made Djokovic favourite and Rafa underdog and that's what triggered Rafa's level. He destroyed Djokovic to bits. Djokovic and his camp thought their boy is gonna destroy Rafa bcoz of these factors playing into their hands and as a result Djokovic got soft and took his win for granted. This year's exact opposite. Rafa was the favourite and Djokovic the underdog (in both of their own minds). Djokovic got focused and Rafa got somewhat slacked. And obviously during the third set, Rafa got injured midmatch, hence so many UE from neutral baseline positions. None of those UE from similar positions occurred in '20 RG final. Rafa wasn't even 80% of physical and mental level of RG '20 final. It's the truth.

Good old times.

What a match !

Rafa Nadal at his best. Those were the glory days of tennis. Time flies.

How Rafa won the point at 10:08 to save set point I’ll never know, and I’ve seen a lot of his points over the years

Very good highlights, thanks! Hope for Fed Djoko 2011 and Rafa Djoko 2021 🙌🙌

Cela reste le match qui m’a fait aimer le tennis ! Le niveau de Paulo est hallucinant pendant tout le match et il perd en 4 sets. Il aurait gagné contre n’importe qui d’autre. Nadal est un monstre sur terre et le prouve déjà sur ce match

Mathieu! One of my faves

5 hour battle in a match that didnt even go into ONE tiebreak ... how Is that posible

paul aurait du gagner ce match ! il était au dessus tennistiquement , et au meme niveau physiquement que nadal ! encore une fois ce qui fait défaut aux joueurs français, c'est le mental ! un mental défaillant qui aura eu raison de paulo toute sa carrière, ainsi que de celles de tous les joueurs français à l'exception de noah et pioline

Paul Henry Matthew did everything to win But you have to be extraordinary against Nadal to only win one set Nadal is not normal

Le niveau de jeu de Paulo est incroyable mais Rafa, c est un titan. Une légère baisse de régime et c est la punition directe

Si il avait joué comme ça contre youzhni on aurait une vraie coupe davis de plus !!!!’

24:43

mathieu would have won against almost anybody else

Rafael ❤️🥇🎾🌍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆❤️😘🥰😍❤️

Drug free PMH was almost as good as Rafa with all the gear...this speaks volume! He should have destroyed the spaniard in a fair fight..but Rafa is the one History will remember.

It was god disguised in Mathieu...but Nadal still won.

This guy with blue shirt have great potential.

Exactly mate!

This highlight is biased upon Paul, always focus on good points of Paul. Even he was a loser. About 2021 FO semi, besides foot injury, condition was not quite favored to Nadal because as Djoc’s coach Goran previously Mentioned that he wanted to see the match at semi rather than final. There is obvious reason why he mentioned like that. First, court surface condition, if sun shines, then hard clay gives more bounce which is much more favor to nadal. And Night session which semi would bring heavy thick moisture absorbing high topspin ball bounce which Nadal much complained after Semi final. The second reason, obviously mental sphere which data proves. The most close match at the FO between two Players was in 2013 semi match which was decided by a blink of eyes. Other than that always FO final or other was one side Story except match in 2015 (due to injury for Nadal ).

Nadal is such a cheater.

MATHIEU IS A WASTED TALENT.

Un classique ? Une souffrance horrible plutôt. On ose critiquer le Wilander/Vilas de 1982 qui me fait plus vibrer que cet infâme Nadal.
