Rafael Nadal Expresses Gratitude for Kind Gesture by Novak Djokovic
Follow Us
We have exhaustively talked about the Big Three’s ongoing accomplishments in tennis. As we take a break from tennis amid the global fiasco we are facing, the off-court nature of these great players has just shone ever brighter. Rafael Nadal started a vigorous campaign a little while ago to help out the medical authorities with financial aid. And now, Novak Djokovic has chipped in to add to Rafa’s relief fund.
Djokovic and Nadal have given us the most amazing rivalry I have ever witnessed in any sport. The two colossal forces have spent the last decade locked in a battle for supremacy, and it will continue after this break too.
We could talk about this rivalry for days on end, but we are not here to discuss and debate about that but rather their humanitarian efforts.

Novak Djokovic chips in
Dire times like these are a threat for all humanity, not just any one nation, or family or person. Such times call for us all to stand together and guide ourselves out of the mess. Ironically, though, social distancing is the best weapon we have against this disease right now.
But that matters not, for we may all be apart, but we stand together in spirit. And that’s exactly what Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are doing. Nadal’s campaign aims to amass a figure of about $12 million in order to help the Red Cross.
