• Serb defeats Rafael Nadal in singles before doubles decider
• “I’ll remember this for the rest of my life,” says Djokovic
Novak Djokovic has now beaten Rafael Nadal 29 times in 55 matches in the greatest tennis rivalry of the modern era, but he agreed that none matched the intensity of the 6-2, 7-6 (4) win that propelled Serbia towards victory in the inaugural ATP Cup here on Sunday.
“There were some incredible exchanges today,” Djokovic said before retiring to the locker room to prepare for the doubles, which he and Victor Troicki later won 6-3, 6-4 against Pablo Carreno Busta and Feliciano López in the small hours of the morning to complete a 2-1 victory.
