In the match marking the 60th confrontation between the two legends of the tennis world, Djokovic "quickly defeated and completely destroyed" Nadal with a score of 6-1; 6-4, despite the Spanish player's strong performance at the end of the second set.
“Looking back to 2006, I didn’t think we would play at the Olympics. So we really appreciate this match. I think our rivalry is for the sport itself. There’s a lot of attention and interest in us. Today he (Nadal) wasn’t in his best shape and I did everything I could to make him uncomfortable,” Djokovic said after the win.
