Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal growing their rivalry have met 25 times including the recent match at Miami.

The final of Miami was magnificent fight between two giant players, battled for three hours and twenty one minutes. Djokovic recovered to record a 24th consecutive victory this season and his fourth title was won with forehand winner sparkle.

Nadal led 5-1 in first sets in three sets game, no one thought that game will prolong so long. It is difficult to recover from losing five straight to number one in the world in a best-of-three games. Beat the world number one twice in the next tournament, starting down on both occasions was a rare achievement.

Novak Djokovic is showing a pure sign of his domination of this year. He has won only one grand slam in 2010 and in 2011 he won two out of five tournaments. In the final Djokovic had won all 40 games of his service, saving 13 break points. He led the tournament statistics for games played back (53%); break points converted (65%) and points won returning first served basis (47%).

Rafael Nadal has reached 95% of first serves in the first set against Roger Federer in the semifinals. In late 2010, a year of three major titles for Nadal, the talk was whether Roger Federer was about to respond to the new season.

But it is Novak Djokovic; Roger Federer dismissed that, now it is time to wait for a tap Rafael Nadal.
