Tennis legends Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic faced off in a match for third place at the exhibition tournament in Saudi Arabia. This match is likely to be their last, as the Spaniard recently announced his retirement.
In the first set, the Serbian encountered little resistance and confidently won 6-2. The second set proved to be more intriguing, with Nadal showing his character and even breaking serve when his opponent was serving for the match. However, the legendary Rafa could not escape defeat, losing narrowly in the tiebreak.
Interestingly, these great players have met on the court a staggering 60 times before. Djokovic holds a slight edge with a record of 31-29, and together with Nadal, they boast a total of 46 Grand Slam titles.
