Even at their highest point, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, the legendary adversaries, cross paths.
The King of grand Slam, Djokovic, has been training in Spain. He posted this picture of himself meeting the King of Clay, Rafael Nadal, on the plane from Spain to Los Angeles, where they will play at Indian Wells next month.

In a social media post, Djokovic wrote, “Great company on the way to USA,” accompanied with a picture of the ATP Tour, Tennis Paradise, and Vamos country taken mid-flight.
Although they are not good friends, the 22-time Grand Slam champion Nadal recently expressed his sentiments about the “real” Novak. He said that they respect each other.
Numbers don’t lie, according to Nadal, and Djokovic is the only real GOAT. In contrast to the fierce character that the Serbian superstar occasionally presents on the court, the 14-time Roland Garros champion claimed that Djokovic is more affable and kind.
It appears that their flight together was enjoyable.
