Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic produced a fascinating performance that left everyone watching the epic confrontation in the French Open spell. Defending champion Nadal was eventually defeated by Roland Garros – his third loss in 108 matches in Paris in 16 years. The 1st place in the Serbian world won an epic 4-hour 11-minute 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2 to reach the French Open final, where he will face Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas. Fans from around the world poured their hats on Djokovic and Nadal for their wonderful tennis experience. Not only fans, Indian cricket stars like Ravichandran Ashwin and Washington Sundar also went about what had happened in Paris between the greatness of the two tennis courts.
“This isn’t just tennis! This is the highest level of benchmarking. #NovakvsNadal,” tweeted Ashwin.
This is not just tennis! This is the highest degree of comparison. #NovakvsNadal #RolandGarros

If anyone ever wants to know what “DON’T GIVE TO THE FAMILY” means in sports, turn on the tele and watch these two legends play. If you’ve already slept in India, watch this match as a remake, the highlights will never do justice to the quality of this tennis.# frenchopen2021 #NadalDjokovic
