Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic offer rare insight into their legendary rivalry

Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal have formed arguably the greatest tennis rivalry of all time, and the pair are privileged to have shared such a legacy with one another.

The two tennis icons already hold the men's record having met 59 times since 2006, with a chance to extend that lead should they collide at the ATP Tour Finals in Turin. The end-of-year event presents both players with a chance to end 2022 on a high after each collecting major silverware already.

“I am really privileged to have the rivalry that we had over the years,” Djokovic told the ATP Tour website. “I think we respect each other a lot and we push each other to the limit and kind of motivate each other to go even higher. It’s great to be part of that era.”
