But the match did have its share of jaw-dropping moments as is the case most times when these two get on court.

In the seventh game of the first set, Djokovic charged to the net after hitting an approach shot. Nadal tried to hit a pass first and a lob next to beat Djokovic at the net.

When Djokovic hit an overhead smash to the open court, it seemed like the point was over. But with Nadal, it never is until the ball has bounced twice!

The Spaniard popped into the frame from nowhere and hit a forehand winner off the smash from well above his head, leaving Djokovic and the crowd stunned!
