Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are considered to be the three most successful men in the history of the sport as the days when they share the draw will soon come to an end.
Roger Federer has been away from the Tour for quite some time, but after a very long period, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal met in one draw again with a possible clash in the semifinals. The two share 41 Grand Slam titles and many incredible battles on the courts, as Djokovic commented on sharing the draw with Nadal again when he said:
“Of course, it affects, because he's my greatest rival of all time,” said the Serb. “You're right. I mean, I wasn't thinking about this, but we have not been in the same draw for a while. You know, things are changing. We have young players, and we are both trying to do our best to compete for the top spots of the world. I think we are still going strong, so it's nice to see that.”
Both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal were successful in their opening matches at the 2022 Madrid Open when the Serbian defeated Gael Monfils for the 18th time in a row while the Spaniard defeated Djokovic's compatriot, Miomir Kecmanovic.
In the third round, 2022 Australian Open champion, Nadal will take on David Goffin who re-discovered his form in 2022 while Djokovic will battle against another one of his rivals, Andy Murray who played two very good matches in Madrid so far.
