Le 19/10/2024 à 20h25 par Elio Valotto

Mission accomplished for Novak Djokovic.

Facing Rafael Nadal for the last time in his career, the Serb dominated proceedings before resisting the Majorcan's comeback to win in two sets (6-2, 7-6).

Simply stronger in all areas of the game, Djokovic is now ranked 3rd in this exhibition tournament.

For his part, Nadal showed some fine form, particularly in the second set, and still has a month to prepare for the Davis Cup finals.
