Novak Djokovic vs. Rafael Nadal: Olympics Men Singles Second Round

Nadal and Djokovic have faced each other 59 times throughout their careers, including in 29 different tennis tournament finals, but this will be the first time the two legends meet in the Olympics.

The Olympic matchup for the ages will take place around 1:30 p.m. CEST/ 12:30 p.m. BST / 7:30 a.m. EDT) on Monday as the second match played on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
 
He's had a great comeback in the 2nd set, but that last break just hurt big time.

Joker put his fingers to his ear to get the crowd going, and he got boos back.

There's no question he's in Rafa's house with the guests there today.
 
Congrats to Djokovic today. Just had a better game and conditioning today.

I'd still bet the field, but he looked good today in his quest to improve upon his 2008 Bronze.

Recall Federer never won Gold (edit: in singles, but he did in doubles) either, as Andy Murray saw to that in 2012. Of the "Big Four" only Andy (2) and Rafael (1) have won the Singles Gold Medal.

Nadal's farewell. Not as successful as Djokovic, not as refined as Federer, maybe not as talented as Borg, but my favourite tennis player..
