Despite not being the final of the tournament, the last chapter of Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic promises to be historic. For the 61st and final time, two of the best tennis players in the world will have one last dance in Riyadh. The match for third and fourth place has brought Nadal and ‘Nole’ together. Both, exempt from the first round for being the players with the most Grand Slams, were unable to overcome their successors Alcaraz and Sinner, making way for the next generation.
Winners of 46 Grand Slams will face off after their last meeting in Paris, where the Serb decisively triumphed in the second round before going on to win his coveted Olympic gold. Their duel will transcend the sporting aspect, marking the farewell to a historic rivalry that has often pushed them to give their best.
“A part of me left with them,” Djokovic said just six days ago in Shanghai after learning of Nadal’s retirement, his biggest rival. After that, the tournament and fate grant them one last dance on the court, where on Saturday they will experience their final chapter, with Djokovic currently leading their overall record 31-29.
