Eternal Duo Light Up Eternal City

It is another Italian job for Rafal Nadal title number 10 in Rome for the king of clay. It was always going to happen, finally the Big 3 have struck back after four straight Masters 1000 titles won by the 25-and-unders, dating back to Daniil Medvedev’s title in Paris last year. Since then Hubert Hurkacz has won in Miami, Stefanos Tsitsipas in Monte Carlo and, most recently Sascha Zverev took the spoils in Madrid just last week but this was a week and a final for the historians, for the purists, for the statisticians. Nadal and Djokovic have faced off in all four Grand Slam finas, five times at the Nitto ATP Finals, at nine different ATP Masters, at the ATP Cup, the Davis Cup and the Olympics, but nowhere have these two giants of the game met more often than at the Foro Italico. Today was their ninth meeting in Rome and their sixth final and we bring you all the reaction. What a week it’s been in Italy’s capital. We also hear from Tournament Director Sergio Palmieri, the world’s number two Italian, 19 year old Jannik Sinner, Italian commentator Diego Nargisso and our very own ATP Tennis Radio commentators, Chris Bowers and Andy Murray's former coach, Miles Maclagan.
