Novak Djokovic's Emotional Plea to Rafael Nadal: 'Don't Leave Tennis'

On October 10, Rafael Nadal, 38, announced his impending retirement from tennis, set for after the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga next month. However, during what may have been their final competitive encounter, long-time rival Novak Djokovic urged Nadal to reconsider his decision.

In an emotional on-court interview following his victory over Nadal at the "Six Kings Slam" exhibition in Saudi Arabia, Djokovic implored, "Don't leave tennis, man." He emphasized the depth of their rivalry, describing it as "very intense," and expressed a desire for them to reminisce about their shared experiences over drinks on a beach someday.

The match, which ended with Djokovic triumphing in straight sets, 6-2, 7-6 (7/5), was labeled by organizers as potentially Nadal's last singles match as a professional. Nadal himself had expressed uncertainty about his fitness for singles play in Malaga.

Before this exhibition, Djokovic and Nadal had faced off 60 times on the main tour, with Djokovic holding a narrow 31-29 advantage. Their last meeting took place at the Paris Olympics on the same Roland Garros courts where Nadal has claimed 14 French Open titles, though Djokovic won that match decisively, 6-1, 6-4.

The latest encounter was largely one-sided, with Djokovic quickly wrapping up the first set in just 31 minutes. However, the crowd rallied behind Nadal, pushing him to push the second set to a tie-break, where he managed to showcase some of his trademark flair with an iconic fist pump before ultimately falling to Djokovic's relentless serving.

Post-match, Djokovic reflected on the emotional weight of the day, remarking, "It was a very special day because it was the last time I play my biggest rival." He shared his sentiments about witnessing the retirements of fellow tennis greats, noting, "It's tough in some way to see them go, because all of my career, basically, I've played with them."

After receiving a golden tennis racket as a tribute, Nadal thanked Djokovic for their incredible rivalry and the unforgettable moments they shared on the court.

The exhibition event also highlighted Saudi Arabia's growing presence in the tennis world, following last year’s introduction of the Next Gen ATP Finals in Jeddah and upcoming plans to host the WTA Tour Finals in Riyadh for the next three years.

While Nadal transitions into his new role as ambassador for the Saudi Tennis Federation, Djokovic acknowledged the mixed reactions to tennis's embrace of Saudi Arabia, choosing to focus on the positive aspects. "There's always going to be criticism," he stated, emphasizing the importance of perspective in evaluating such developments.

As Nadal prepares to step away from the sport, the tennis community reflects on the legacy of their storied rivalry and the impact they have made on the game.

Wimbledon 2024: Italy s Musetti Holds Off Fritz In Five Sets, To Meet Djokovic In Semifinals

Lorenzo Musetti: All eyes in Italy were on Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon but it is Lorenzo Musetti who has kept the country's hopes alive by reaching the semifinals and setting up a clash with 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic, who progressed to the semifinal after Australian Alex de Minaur withdrew due to an injury.Musetti delivered arguably the Grand Slam performance of his career so far on Wednesday to outlast Taylor Fritz 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-2, 3-6. 6-1 in a quarterfinal clash at the grass-court major. In doing so, the 22-year-old became just the fourth Italian men’s singles semifinalist in event history. Even after World No.1 Sinner fell to Daniil Medvedev on Tuesday, Musetti gave an immediate reminder of the strength-in-depth of Italian tennis with a classy and composed display in his maiden major quarterfinal. The 25th seed deployed his slice backhand to great effect to outfox an elite grass-court opponent and set a last-four meeting with Djokovic. The two-time ATP Tour titlist Musetti composed himself superbly in the deciding set after Fritz had snatched the fourth via a break in the eighth game. The Italian raced to a double-break lead with some of his best tennis of the match before sealing a three-hour, 27-minute quarter-final triumph. The foundation of Musetti’s triumph in his debut appearance on the All-England Club’s No. 1 Court was his serve. The No. 25 in the ATP Rankings won 76 per cent (63/83) of points behind his first delivery, and that stability allowed him to express himself freely in return games. Musetti converted six of the 13 break points he earned against one of the biggest servers on the ATP Tour. The penultimate point of the match was a good example of the way Musetti found his magic touch in the final set. He produced a well-disguised drop shot which Fritz chased courageously. The American caught his leg in the court as he tried to slide and the crowd held its breath, but fortunately, he was soon up to face match point. There was nothing the three-time Eastbourne champion Fritz could do to rescue the match situation, however. Musetti served out for a famous victory to join his countrymen Nicola Pietrangeli (1960), Matteo Berrettini (2021), and Sinner (2023) as a Wimbledon semifinalist. Alex de Minaur pulled out from Wimbledon before his quarterfinal clash against Djokovic due to an injury.

Welcome to Grass Court season

Ranking the Greatest Grass Court Players of the Open Era

As the grass court season begins, tennis enthusiasts around the world turn their attention to the lush, green courts that have hosted some of the sport's most iconic moments. Grass courts, with their fast pace and low bounce, require a unique set of skills and strategies, making victories on this surface particularly noteworthy. Let's delve into what made some of the greatest grass court players of the Open Era so successful.

1. Roger Federer: The Maestro of Grass

Roger Federer stands at the pinnacle of grass court tennis. His record eight Wimbledon titles and unparalleled 105 match wins at the tournament underscore his dominance. Federer’s game is characterized by his fluid movement, precise footwork, and an almost poetic serve-and-volley technique. His ability to play aggressive yet controlled tennis, combined with a powerful serve and impeccable net play, allows him to dictate points and keep opponents on the defensive.

One of the most memorable moments in Federer’s illustrious career was the 2017 Wimbledon final, where he defeated Marin Čilić 6-3, 6-1, 6-4. This victory was significant not only because it marked his eighth title, but also because Federer became the oldest player in the Open Era to win Wimbledon without dropping a set throughout the tournament.

2. Pete Sampras: The Serve-and-Volley King

Pete Sampras ruled Wimbledon in the 1990s with his powerful serve and aggressive net play. His serve-and-volley style was perfectly suited for the fast-paced grass courts, allowing him to dominate points quickly and keep rallies short. With seven Wimbledon titles to his name, Sampras was the epitome of grass court excellence during his era.

A particularly standout performance was his 1999 Wimbledon final against Andre Agassi, where Sampras won convincingly 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. This match showcased his superior grass court prowess and solidified his reputation as one of the greatest ever to play on the surface.

3. Bjorn Borg: The Ice Man of Wimbledon

Bjorn Borg’s five consecutive Wimbledon titles from 1976 to 1980 are a testament to his mastery of grass courts. His game was a blend of relentless baseline play and exceptional footwork, allowing him to excel on grass despite it being less common for baseline players to dominate on this surface.

Borg’s iconic victory over John McEnroe in the 1980 Wimbledon final, where he won 1-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-7(16-18), 8-6, remains one of the greatest matches in tennis history. This match exemplified his incredible resilience and mental toughness, qualities that made him a formidable opponent on grass.

4. Novak Djokovic: The Modern Master

Novak Djokovic’s seven Wimbledon titles highlight his adaptability and excellence on grass. Known for his extraordinary agility, defensive skills, and mental resilience, Djokovic has been able to translate his all-court game to grass with great success.

His triumph in the 2019 Wimbledon final against Roger Federer, winning 7-6(5), 1-6, 7-6(4), 4-6, 13-12(3), was the longest final in Wimbledon history and showcased his unparalleled endurance and mental toughness. This victory not only added another title to his collection but also solidified his legacy as one of the greatest grass court players of all time.

5. Rod Laver: The Versatile Champion

Rod Laver’s versatility and powerful groundstrokes, along with his strategic use of the entire court, made him a dominant force on grass. Laver’s adaptability and mastery of different surfaces, including grass, were key to his success.

Laver’s back-to-back calendar-year Grand Slams in 1962 and 1969, the latter achieved in the Open Era, included victories at Wimbledon, underscoring his dominance. His ability to seamlessly transition between different styles of play allowed him to outmaneuver opponents and control matches on grass.

6. John McEnroe: The Volatile Genius

John McEnroe’s serve-and-volley game, characterized by his exceptional touch and volleying skills, was ideally suited for the fast and low-bouncing grass. His ability to control points with his serve and quick reflexes at the net made him a formidable grass court player.

McEnroe’s dramatic victory over Bjorn Borg in the 1981 Wimbledon final, winning 4-6, 7-6(1), 7-6(4), 6-4, ended Borg’s five-year reign and marked McEnroe’s emergence as a grass court legend. His intense on-court demeanor and competitive spirit were hallmarks of his game, driving him to excel in high-stakes matches.

7. Boris Becker: The Young Wunderkind

Boris Becker’s aggressive style and athleticism made him particularly effective on grass, where his big serve and bold approaches to the net paid dividends. Becker’s ability to play with high intensity and his knack for performing well under pressure made him a tough opponent on grass.

His victory in the 1985 Wimbledon final at just 17 years old, where he defeated Kevin Curren 6-3, 6-7(4), 7-6(3), 6-4, made him the youngest ever male Wimbledon champion, a record that still stands. This win marked the beginning of an illustrious career and established Becker as a force to be reckoned with on grass courts.

These tennis legends have each brought their unique styles and strategies to the lush lawns of Wimbledon, etching their names in the annals of tennis history. As we celebrate the start of the grass court season, their remarkable achievements and distinctive playing styles continue to inspire players and fans alike.
