Nadal vs Djokovic

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are set to face each other in a French Open match for the 10th time in their careers. Here's what happened in their previous ...

Djokovic became only the second man to beat Nadal at French Open when he won the 2015 quarterfinal in straight sets. Despite high-quality tennis, Djokovic conceded his first bagel in a Major final in 45 minutes before Nadal wrapped up the second 6-2. Djokovic served for the set at 5-3 only to be broken back. For the fourth time in his career, the Spaniard had lifted the Coupe des Mousquetaires trophy without dropping a set all tournament. The 2006 French Open quarterfinal was the first time Nadal and Djokovic played against each other in a professional tennis match. Both players struggled to hold serve in the second set which Nadal managed to win 7-5. In 2007, Nadal, who was vying for a third consecutive French Open title, came up against Djokovic in the semifinals. But unlike those four matches, this was a Grand Slam match and Djokovic was 0-5 against Nadal at Roland Garros. However, it probably did more damage to the Serbian as Nadal broke Djokovic to make it 2-2 when the play continued the next day. Both players split the first two sets before Nadal blazed through the third. Djokovic had won the previous three, including a marathon five hours 53 minutes Australian Open final which is the longest ever Grand Slam final. The Spaniard won the semifinal 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (3).
