Rafael Nadal vs Novak Djokovic’s rivalry defined the decade and it has been a joy to watch

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have been the two excellent players of the 2010s and look unstoppable as we approach 2020.

It is a credit to their astounding longevity that Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer started the decade as the top three and they will end it in the same position. In some sports, constant dominance from one team or individual can become boring and cause fans to lose interest.

Big Three

However, that cannot be said of tennis, especially with the power the Big Three have held in the men’s game.

Federer started the decade on top but unsurprisingly at the age of 38 has dropped to third by the end of 2019.

As Federer’s form has fluctuated through the years, Nadal and Djokovic have been models of consistency with only injuries slowing them down.

They have taken tennis to a completely different level, with their exploits defying belief at times.

In 2010, Nadal won three consecutive majors to surpass Federer as the best player in the world and complete the Golden Slam by capturing a maiden US Open.

Moreover, although doubters have questioned his hard court credentials over the years, he has gone on to win three more titles in New York.

However, what sets Nadal apart is his performances on clay, where he owns an astonishing 92 percent win-loss record.

The challenge of beating Nadal on clay is the most difficult in all of the sports with ’The King of Clay’ boasting 12 titles at the French Open, 11 in Monte-Carlo and Barcelona and nine trophies in Rome.

He also became the first male player to win the French Open and the US Open in the same year on four occasions (2010, 2013, 2017, and 2019).

Moreover, he ends this decade with 19 Grand Slams to his name, over $119million in prize money and back on top of the world rankings for the fifth time in his career.
