Italian Open 2021 Final Highlights

Rome: Spaniard World No.3 Rafael Nadal once again showed the world why he is the ‘King of Clay’ as he won the Italian Open 2021 by beating World No. 1 Novak Djokovic (7-5, 1-6, 6-3) in Rome. Djokovic was the first in the match to break through as Nadal was found wanting at the beginning of the first set.  It might have worked as a wake-up call for Nadal as the Spaniard came back strongly to win the first set 7-5. Djokovic was having none of the dominance showed by Nadal at the closing moments of the first set as the Serbian came roaring back, winning the second set convincingly 1-6 but at the end of it all the Spaniard was a little too good for the World No. 1, winning the crucial moments of the set and eventually the match. It was an enthralling victory and possibly a strong message ahead of the French Open which is scheduled to start in a couple of weeks time.
