| Tennis | 199 | 43 | Rafael Nadal-Novak Djokovic rivalry | 29788244 | Closing the gap | Closing+the+gap | Tennis | Rafael Nadal leads his series with Novak Djokovic 19-14, but the Serbian has been the more dominant of the pair lately, winning seven of the past ten meetings between the young stars, including the finals at Wimbledon, the US Open in 2011 and the 2012 Australian Open. But Nadal recently broke Djokovic's streak, winning handily at the 2012 Masters Monte Carlo and taking away a career Slam from Djokovic at the 2012 French Open. Take a look at some of their most memorable matches. |
