Nadal vs Djokovic French Open 2022 Quarterfinal: Date, India Time, Live Streaming, TV Channel, Head To Head

Multi-time Grand Slam champions Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic set for 59th meeting when they lock horns in the quarterfinal of the French Open 2022 at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France.

The 21-time Grand Slam winner and 13-time French Open champion Nadal booked his quarterfinal spot via a victory in the five-set thriller against Felix Auger-Aliassime. The Spaniard beat the Canadian (3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3) in a fourth round match that last for 4 hours and 21 minutes.

World number 1 and 2-time French Open champion Novak Djokovic, who is also the defending champion, on the other hand, progressed to the quarterfinal via a straight sets victory over Diego Schwartzman. The 20-time Grand Slam-winning Serb beat the Argentine (6-1, 6-3, 6-3).

Djokovic, who has lost to Nadal in the Roland Garros finals three times in three attempts, ousted the 'King of Clay' in the 2021 semifinal and eventually beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in the summit clash to win his second French Open title. The French Open semifinal meeting last year was the last time the two met in any tournament.

As mentioned earlier, the two of the finest of the era along with Roger Federer, have had a rivalry for a long time on the court. In fact the trio have gone head-to-head in recent years for the most Grand Slam title wins.

The three were tied at 20 Grand Slam titles each at the start of 2022. However, Nadal took his tally to 21 at the Australian Open earlier this year.

Now, Djokovic will look to draw level, but the Serb will first need to get past his nemesis on clay and then two other opponents to reach that goal.
