Novak Djokovic d Rafael Nadal – 2011 Finals
Novak Djokovic was having the year of his life in 2011. Only 2 losses in a total of 66 matches played and Grand slam triumphs at Wimbledon and the Australian Open. This rich vein of form culminated with an epic showdown with Rafael Nadal in the finals. Rafa, who had lost all previous encounters against Djokovic in 2011 was bidding to win his 11th Grand Slam title.
The top seed from Serbia gave a display of breathtaking quality to triumph 6-2 6-4 6-7 (3-7) 6-1 in four hours and 10 minutes on Arthur Ashe Stadium. Nadal beat Djokovic at the same stage 12 months ago, but he turned the tables on the Spaniard this time around in grand style. After dominating the first two sets, Rafa forged an incredible turnaround sending the noise to a deafening crescendo.
However, Novak confirmed his status as the world’s best player by roaring back in the final set and closing the match in style with a glorious inside-out forehand to notch up his fourth Grand Slam title.
