The stakes are always high & encounters are always memorable & coming Tuesday we expect a memorable encounter again. While, the other 2 big names Federer & Murray, made exits from the competition, the other "BIG" two, Nadal & Djokovic made their way to the finals. They both have built the best rivalry in tennis on the mountain of big time matches, One they'll play in US OPEN 2013 FINAL. It will be the 37th meeting of their careers, the most number of matches in Open era any 2 players have played. Nadal will be playing or his 13th major title, Djokovic for his 7th. Djokovic is seeded #1 whereas Nadal is seeded #2. This will be their 3rd meeting in the last four years in the final in the Arthur Ashe stadium, as Nadal had to go out of the tournament last year with a knee injury. Nadal won the 1st match in 2010 & then Djokovic won the rematch in 2011.
Both players are seeking their 2nd major titles, Djokovic won the Australian Open & Nadal won the French Open. Nadal leads the over all series 21-15, But, Djokovic has the edge on hard court with 11-6. While Djokovic has the most wins on tour this year on hard courts, 31, while Nadal is undefeated with a perfect 21-0 record. It's an amazing statistic, specially for a man who has missed the game for more than 7 months due to knee problems between 2012 & 2013. He won the French Open on clay, his favourite surface, then made a shocking first-round exit at Wimbledon. The loss to 135th ranked, Steve Darcis, at the All England Club only marks the tournament of 2013 in which Nadal entered in which he didn't make the final. This will be their 6th meeting in a Grand Slam final.
We are in a for a cracking final on Tuesday..!! We can expect huge fireworks from the 2 of the most superb Tennis players in Modern era..! Let's hope the best man wins..!! :)
