The years pass but his rights remain the same. After a long exchange of blows Nadal infused a little’already seen‘to all spectators of the third place match of the ‘Six Kings Slam‘.
I remember those endless finals with endless points, Rafa and ‘Nole“They were involved in a long exchange of several shots and the Serb was gradually moving Nadal from one side to the other. When it seemed that Djokovic had everything in sight to close the point, Nadal connected with a winning parallel forehand which reminded us of Manacori’s best times.
The right of all life: forced, parallel, dry and strong. Despite this, Rafa ended up losing the match by 6-2 and 7-6 in a match in which ‘Nole’ started very solidly, completing the first set without too many complications. Nadal He was quite irregular and couldn’t keep up with the Serb.
The second round was a little more balanced. Although it initially lost service, Nadal He quickly recovered his serve and held on despite the fact that Djokovic He had everything in his face when with 5-4 in his favor, he served for win the match.
But for Nadal He still had tennis left and he brought the result of the second set to “tie-break”. There too he fought everything but “Nole”, among some doubts, managed to close the match. The emotional cuddly with Djokovic At the end and to the applause of the audience, they said goodbye to the last great dance of a rivalry that will never be forgotten.
