Nadal against Djokovic for the 59th time

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are meeting each other for the 59th time, making it the most frequent duel in tennis history. The Serb is one of the few players who leads against Nadal in the internal ranking. The balance is 30:28 wins for Djokovic, the world number one is also in the lead in the final balance (15:13), and in clashes at the major tournaments, Nadal is ahead with 10:7.

The comparison between the two giants on clay looks different: clay court king Nadal leads 27:19 in a total of 8 games. In his living room, Roland Garros, he leads 7:2. Djokovic was only able to bring Nadal to his knees in Paris twice, in 2015 in the quarter-finals and last year on his way to the title, he defeated Nadal in the semi-finals 3:6, 6:3, 7:6 (7:4) and 6: 2 out.

For the third time in a row, Nadal will face Djokovic in Paris this evening. This time the 35-year-old Mallorcan is not the favorite in the game. After his injury break, Nadal is still waiting for a clay court title in 2022, in a spectacular game against Felix Auger-Aliassime he had to play over five sets: “Every game could be my last here!” says Nadal.

The world number one, on the other hand, marched through the tournament without any problems and would like to secure his third French Open title. Rafael Nadal set the record for Grand Slams by winning the Australian Open 2022. He leads the record books with 21 titles, just ahead of Djokovic and Federer, who both have 20. He has already won the French Open 13 times and has an incredible record of 109 wins from 112 matches. Motivation enough for Djokovic to equalize the record of Grand Slam triumphs!
