This is interesting: When we think of tennis's greatest rivalries, Borg-McEnroe, Borg-Connors, McEnroe-Lendl and, of course, Federer-Nadal come to mind. But none of them played each other as often as Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, who met a record 60 times, with Djokovic holding a razor-thin 31-29 edge. A look at their head-to-head record by surface shows just how much the playing field mattered: Nadal dominated on clay, Djokovic ruled on hard courts and they split their four grass-court meetings.
