Novak Djokovic vs. Rafael Nadal head-to-head record

This match is the 60th meeting between Djokovic and Nadal, with Djokovic leading the head-to-head 30-29. Their last meeting was at the French Open in 2022 where they played in the quarterfinals.

Nadal prevailed in the four-hour match, winning in four sets (6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6) before going on to win his 14th title at Roland Garros. The king of the clay returns to his stomping grounds looking for his second gold medal in the singles competition, which he won in the 2008 Beijing Games. It would be his third gold medal overall.

Djokovic is seeking his first gold medal — his only piece of Olympic hardware came in the form of a bronze in 2008. He lost to Nadal that year in the semifinals on the Spaniard's way to the gold.
