  Who is here after 2021 Roland Garros Semifinals? Today we witnessed another epic amongst these two greats. Incredible rivalry.

  This match didn’t get enough recognition just simply because it’s a semi not a final. But overall, it’s one of the greatest matches ever.

  At this point Djokovic hadn&apos;t won a Grand Slam since Roland Garros in 2016. <br>Very important match for helping him recover confidence.

  Who’s watching that after 2019 finals against Federer? &nbsp;Clutch Djoko.

  Winners: Djokovic: 73; Nadal: 73<br> &nbsp; Unforced Errors: Djokovic: 42; Nadal: 42<br> &nbsp; Total Points Won: Djokovic: 195; Nadal: 191<br>This was an incredibly close match - almost impossible for it to be closer. When these two are BOTH at the top of their game or near it*, there&apos;s almost nothing to separate them on any surface, although there is definitely an edge for Djokovic on hard courts and for Nadal on clay. <br>This match was the third in a trilogy across all 3 surfaces (Australian Open 2012, French Open 2013, Wimbledon 2018) where the loser had a huge chance to win it (Rafa was up 4-2, 30-15 in the 5th set in AO 2012, Djokovic was serving to go up 5-3 in the 5th set in FO 2013, and Rafa had 5 break points in the final set of this match).<br><br>It&apos;s an amazing rivalry and a privilege to have witnessed. It&apos;s a shame that over the past few years Nadal had a slump in 2015-16 and Djokovic had one in 2017-18, otherwise we would have seen even more matches like this one, Rome 2018, Rome 2016, US Open 2013, French Open 2013, Australian Open 2012, US Open 2011, etc., etc., .... &nbsp;<br><br>* Anyone saying Djokovic wasn&apos;t near the top of his game in this match is an idiot. This is still his best match on grass since 2015. Played way better here than in the 2019, 2021 or 2022 finals
