XLV mecz - Nadal 23:22

2015 China Open F, hard, Djokovic d. Nadal 62 62

Djokovic extended his run of dominance in Beijing to 29-0 with a gritty victory over Nadal in the final. It was the Serb's seventh win over Nadal in their last eight meetings, a run that began at the 2013 China Open final. The World No. 1, who had already clinched the year-end top spot in the Emirates ATP Rankings, improved to a stunning 68-5 in 2015 and 23-4 against Top 10 opponents.

Djokovic would get off to a flying start in his quest for a sixth Beijing title, breaking immediately in the first game and again for 5-2 after turning aside a pair of break chances in the sixth game. Nadal would receive a visit from the trainer for an apparent leg ailment midway through the third game of the second set and Djokovic would pounce, breaking for 2-1. He did not look back, surging to the title after 91 minutes. The top seed struck 23 winners, including seven aces.

"This has definitely been my most successful tournament," said Djokovic during the trophy ceremony. "Beijing has been a lucky place for me. In 2008, I remember the Olympic Games when Rafa won gold and the tradition of Asian tennis started here. I played a great tournament overall and continued playing well today. Rafa and I have played 45 times and I hope that continues."

XLVI mecz - 23:23

2015 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals SF, hard, Djokovic d. Nadal 63 63

Djokovic turned in a comprehensive performance in reaching a fourth consecutive final at The O2 in London, advancing to an 85th tour-level title match.

Djokovic was on the attack immediately against Nadal's own serve, pouncing on a short second serve for a return winner in the very first point and breaking to love for a quick 2-0 lead. The Belgrade native struck 12 winners and just one unforced error through the first three games. He was in control at the baseline, dictating play on his own terms and most importantly refusing to yield an inch on his own serve.

Patterns persisted in the second set, with Djokovic using his agility to stand tall on the baseline and he would break for 3-2 after a 25-shot rally. The Serb launched a backhand winner down-the-line on the run to give him his first match point at 5-3 and he would capitalise with another backhand winner - this time going cross-court.

With his consecutive finals reached streak up to 15 tournaments, Djokovic became the first player to claim 30 match wins against Top 10 opponents in a single season.

XLVII mecz - Djoković 24:23

2016 Qatar ExxonMobil Open F, hard, Djokovic d. Nadal 61 62

Djokovic made sure the lone blip in his jaw-dropping 2015 campaign - a Doha quarter-final defeat to Ivo Karlovic - was a distant memory. The World No. 1 captured his sixth consecutive ATP World Tour title and 60th overall at the tour-level. He became just the 10th player in the Open Era to reach the 60-title milestone, drawing level with Andre Agassi in a tie for ninth.

After streaking to a 6-1 first set after just 31 minutes, Djokovic continued to apply pressure on Nadal, suffocating the Spaniard from the baseline with a ruthless display of aggression. He converted his third break point in the opening game of the second set and secured another break to all but seal the match at 4-1. He would wrap up the match after 73 minutes, striking a total 30 winners to just 13 unforced errors.

The Serb leads the historic FedEx ATP Head2Head for the first time at 24-23. He has now claimed 11 consecutive sets since Nadal prevailed in the 2014 Roland Garros final.

XLVII mecz - Djoković 25:23

2016 BNP Paribas Open SF, hard, Djokovic d. Nadal 76(5) 62

Djokovic earned the opportunity to play for an unprecedented fifth BNP Paribas Open title after edging Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
In the pair’s 48th meeting – an Open Era record on the ATP World Tour – the Serb rallied from an early break down. He also fended off a set point on serve in the 10th game before getting the better of Nadal in the subsequent tie-break, clinching the opener as Nadal netted a backhand.
Djokovic made the decisive breakthrough in the sixth game of the second set, going up 4-2 as Nadal committed a forehand unforced error into the net. He then broke Nadal again in the eighth game to claim his 25th victory over his Spanish rival, converting his sixth match point. Despite the loss, Nadal said he gained confidence from playing Djokovic better than he has in their recent contests.

Nie wiem, czy o tym już nie pisałem, ale w 2005 roku Wujek przewidział problemy.

"I remember that moment very well. We were at Wimbledon in 2005. I was passing next to the courts on my way to the locker room where Rafa was waiting for me. At one moment I stopped by the court 18 where Juan Monaco, a good friend of Rafa, was playing some player unknown to me. I watched the match for a while and then went to the locker room. Upon getting there I told Rafa: "We have a situation" and he replied "What do you mean?". "I said we have a problem and his name is Novak Djokovic."

Djokovic vs. Nadal: Who Will Win?

Spoiler:

Two superstars square-off at the Caja Magica Saturday
Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will both be looking to prove a point on Saturday when they meet for the 50th time in the semi-finals of the Mutua Madrid Open.
While Djokovic leads 26-23 in their legendary FedEx ATP Head2Head series, the Serbian is searching for a return to the peak of his powers after a slow start to 2017. His last semi-final appearance came in January when he captured the Qatar ExxonMobil Open title, the 67th of his career.

In contrast, Nadal is looking like the man to beat once again on European clay, having picked up his 10th title at both the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters and the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell. He leads the ATP World Tour with 32 match wins in 2017 and has an Open Era record 51 clay crowns.
Yet, the Spaniard has lost his past seven matches - and 15 straight sets - against Djokovic since lifting his ninth trophy at Roland Garros in the 2014 final. The numbers indicate that Djokovic has a mental edge, including a 16-9 record over Nadal in ATP World Tour Masters 1000 matches, three straight clay-court wins (7-14 overall) and three consecutive semi-final victories (8-8).
But in the past five months, Nadal's game has evolved and his forehand and service confidence have returned. While Djokovic also won seven straight matches against Nadal from the 2011 BNP Paribas Open to the 2012 Australian Open finals, he recently parted company with three long-time members of his support team, including Marian Vajda.

In their first clash for 12 months (since the 2016 Internazionali BNL d'Italia), Saturday's semi-final will be a must-see for tennis fans.
In their two previous Madrid clashes, Nadal saved three match points in a third set tie-break victory for a place in the 2009 final, while Djokovic captured his first clay-court win over the Spaniard in the 2011 final. Nadal is a four-time champion at the Caja Magica, while Djokovic is the defending champion (also 2011 titlist).

L mecz - Djoković 26:24

2017 Mutua Madrid Open SF, clay, Nadal d. Djokovic 6-2, 6-4

During their historic 50th FedEx ATP Head2Head meeting, Rafael Nadal decidedly turned the tables on Novak Djokovic, thoroughly outplaying the defending champion to reach his eighth Mutua Madrid Open final. Djokovic had owned their rivalry during recent years. The Serbian had won 15 consecutive sets and seven straight matches against Nadal.

It had been nearly three years since the “King of Clay” had prevailed against Djokovic – the 2014 Roland Garros final. But Nadal dominated from the start during their 50th meeting in Madrid, aggressively smashing forehands and confidently hitting backhand winners. Djokovic would make it a match in the second set but Nadal served out the final after one hour and 38 minutes.
The win further solidified Nadal's place in history as the greatest clay-court player and showed the tennis world that the Spaniard is back in top form. He improved to 14-0 in clay-court matches this season and will play for his third clay-court crown of the year, after winning a record 10th title at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters and Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell earlier this season.

Rafael Nadal mógł rywalizować z niemal wszystkimi najlepszymi tenisistami XXI wieku. W rozmowie z radiem Cadena Ser miał za zadanie wybrać najtrudniejszego, z jakim przyszło mu skonfrontować swe siły. Hiszpan nie potrafił udzielić jednoznacznej odpowiedzi.

Rafael Nadal wciąż ma problem z kolanem. "Muszę działać ostrożnie i stopniowo"

- Cóż, to bardzo skomplikowane - przyznał. - Federer ma tytuły i osiągnięcia, które jasno mówią, że jest najlepszym tenisistą w historii. Ale czy to najtrudniejszy przeciwnik, z jakim grałem? Może tak, może nie. Nie można zapominać, że walczyłem także z Djokoviciem i wieloma innymi znakomitymi przeciwnikami.

Po chwili zastanowienia Hiszpan wskazał na Novaka Djokovicia. - Patrząc na osiągnięcia, byłoby niesprawiedliwe wobec Federera, gdybym nie powiedział, że to on jest najtrudniejszym rywalem, z jakim grałem. Ale muszę stwierdzić, że kiedy Djoković był w swojej najlepszej formie, miałem wrażenie, że walczę przeciw tenisiście nie do pokonania.

I z Rogerem Federerem, i z Djokoviciem Nadal rywalizował wielokrotnie. Przeciw Szwajcarowi grał 38 razy (bilans 23-15), natomiast z Serbem mierzył się 50-krotnie (bilans 24-26).

ATP Rzym: Nadal górą w 51. starciu z Djokoviciem. Hiszpan po raz 10. w finale na Foro Italico

Spoiler:

W półfinale turnieju ATP World Tour Masters 1000 w Rzymie doszło do 51. konfrontacji Rafaela Nadala z Novakiem Djokoviciem. Lepszy okazał się Hiszpan, która awansował do 10. finału w stolicy Włoch.

W półfinale w Rzymie doszło do 51. konfrontacji Rafaela Nadala (ATP 2) z Novakiem Djokoviciem (ATP 18), pierwszej od roku. W ubiegłym sezonie w walce o finał w Madrycie lepszy był Hiszpan. Serb wygrał ich dwa ostatnie mecze w stolicy Włoch (2014, 2016), a łączny bilans ich starć w Wiecznym Mieście, przed sobotnim spotkaniem, to 3-3. Na prowadzenie 4-3 wyszedł Nadal, który zwyciężył 7:6(4), 6:3.
Na otwarcie meczu Nadal odparł dwa break pointy przy 15-40. Później obaj tenisiści byli zabójczo skuteczni przy własnym podaniu. Tak było aż do szóstego gema, gdy w opałach znalazł się Djoković. Wyrzucony bekhend w długiej wymianie kosztował Serba stratę serwisu. Po chwili Hiszpan od 0-30 zdobył cztery punkty i prowadził 5:2. To nie był jednak koniec emocji w I secie. Głębokim forhendem wymuszającym błąd Djoković odrobił stratę przełamania w dziewiątym gemie. W tie breaku sytuację opanował Nadal, który seta zakończył efektownym bekhendem.

Przy 1:1 w II secie Hiszpan uzyskał przełamanie do zera imponując szybkością i refleksem. Nadal nie miał problemów z serwisem, za wyjątkiem ósmego gema. Nie musiał wówczas bronić break pointów, ale utrzymał podanie po blisko 10 minutach (12 rozegranych punktów). Odwrotny kros forhendowy dał mu prowadzenie 5:3. Odrodzenia Djokovicia nie było. W dziewiątym gemie Serb obronił pierwszą piłkę meczową akcją serwis-wolej, ale drugą Hiszpan wykorzystał bekhendem.

W trwającym godzinę i 56 minut meczu Nadal obronił dwa z trzech break pointów, a sam wykorzystał trzy z pięciu szans na przełamanie. Hiszpan zdobył o osiem punktów więcej od rywala (68-60). Tenisista z Majorki posłał 22 kończące uderzenia i popełnił 14 niewymuszonych błędów. Djoković miał 26 piłek wygranych bezpośrednio i 20 pomyłek.

Bilans wszystkich meczów obu tenisistów to teraz 26-25 dla Djokovicia. Nadal awansował do 10. finału w Rzymie, pierwszego od 2014 roku. W niedzielę Hiszpan powalczy o ósmy tytuł na Foro Italico, pierwszy od pięciu lat. Jego rywalem będzie Niemiec Alexander Zverev lub Chorwat Marin Cilić.

LI mecz - Djoković 26:25

2018 Internazionali BNL d'Italia SF, clay, Nadal d. Djokovic 7-6(4), 6-3

Entering the pair's first meeting in more than a year, Nadal was the clear favourite. The top seed had won 50 consecutive sets on clay — a record for the most sets claimed in a row on a single surface — before falling in the Madrid quarter-finals the previous week. And it was tough to tell how high Djokovic, still recovering from a right elbow injury, would be able to raise his level.

But the Serbian played excellent tennis, especially in the first set, comfortably finding the sharpest of angles from the backhand corner to give Nadal fits. But toward the end of the opening set, the Spaniard began to unleash his forehand down the line, therefore changing court positioning and taking control of baseline rallies, leading to his eventual victory.

It was an important win for Nadal, earning his 356th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 match victory to break a tie with Roger Federer (355) for the most in history. The 31-year-old also moved within one triumph of reclaiming the No. 1 spot in the ATP Rankings after dropping to No. 2 with his loss in Madrid. The triumph not only showed Nadal's great form, but also that Djokovic, despite competing in just his first semi-final of 2018, is on his way back to his top level.
