Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal were both seen at the 2022 Laver Cup last weekend, as the legendary duo joined forces to represent Team Europe. But as Djokovic recalled during an interview earlier this year, there have been instances in the past too when they have had reason to get together.Djokovic and Nadal, who share an epic rivalry, have played against each other just once this season, with the Spaniard reigning supreme in the quarterfinals of the French Open. Djokovic revealed during the course of a BBC interview recorded in February that his son Stefan, who is a big fan of Nadal, wanted to know when the two would play each other so that he could be photographed alongside the Mallorcan."I hope that [if I were playing against Nadal, my son would be cheering for me]. But he asked me a few days ago, 'When is the next tournament where you're going to participate, where will Rafa also play?' I said, 'I am not sure. I hope it is very soon. Why are you asking me that?' He said, 'Because I would really like to take a photo with Rafa!' 'We can arrange that, I'm sure'," Djokovic disclosed in the interview which was recorded after the 2022 Australian Open.Wimbledon@Wimbledon"Let's get to 100 [match wins at Wimbledon] before the youngsters take over"Stefan Djokovic is a chip off the old block #Wimbledon | @DjokerNole4967556"Let's get to 100 [match wins at Wimbledon] before the youngsters take over"Stefan Djokovic is a chip off the old block 😎#Wimbledon | @DjokerNole https://t.co/NjhPP0AhojStefan won over several fans after he was seen practicing alongside his father during the Wimbledon Championships, which Novak Djokovic went on to win.Novak Djokovic leads Rafael Nadal 30-29 as part of an epic 16-year rivalry that shows no signs of ebbingRafael Nadal emerges triumphant at the 2022 French OpenNovak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal faced off for the first time ever in the quarterfinals of the 2006 French Open, where the Serb had to retire in the third set.
