‘It’s obvious,’ Novak Djokovic puts his life in Rafael Nadal’s hands to win a set on clay

Novak Djokovic has achieved everything in tennis. From title wins to breaking records, the Serbian star is a legend of the game. But, when asked which tennis player he would bet to save his life in a single set, he offered up Rafael Nadal on clay.

For context, Nadal and Djokovic made up the tennis Big Three, which included Roger Federer. The three players became synonymous with fighting for every major title which saw them win an aggregate of 67 Grand Slams. However, it was the Nadal and Djokovic rivalry that became more interesting after 2010. They both faced each other 59 times, 27 of them on hardcourt and 28 on clay court.
