Rafa Nadal will have one last chance to face old rival Novak Djokovic before the Spaniard calls time on his illustrious career with the pair set to meet at the Six Kings Slam exhibition event in Saudi Arabia.

He was not invited to compete at the Six Kings Slam this week, where Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune battle it out for £4.6million. Each participant receives at least 1.15m, which Medvedev picked up in just 69 minutes after being dismantled by Sinner in the quarter-finals.

As Rafael Nadal prepares to retire from professional tennis next month, the Spaniard has been asked many times to reflect on the rivalries he's shared with the other two members of the "Big Three"—Roger Federer of Switzerland and Novak Djokovic of Serbia.

Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, who own 46 Grand Slam singles titles between them, will be among the tennis stars competing for the largest purse in tennis history.

The German recently followed in the footsteps of Carlos Alcaraz by becoming an extremely young winner on the ATP Tour and he wants to face idol Djokovic before the tennis icon bows out of the sport.
