It was the greatest rivalry in tennis and it will remain at 60 head-to-heads. This final clash between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal (the Serb leads 31-29) will not appear in the official count because it was contested as part of the Six Kings Slam exhibition.
Like the last official match between the two legends, in the second round of the Olympic tournament, it turned to the advantage of Djokovic (6-2, 7-6 [5]). The Serbian took advantage of a much too slow start from Nadal to pocket the first set without us seeing how the Spaniard could reverse the trend. He even broke from the start in the second, raising fears of too severe a correction for Nadal, even if we know he is far from his best level one month before the announced end of his career during the Davis Cup final phase.
