History was created again today in tennis as the duo of Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic met for the 50th time. It was the first time in the open era that two people have battled it out against each other for fifty times. This time though it was Rafa who demolished Nole in a convincing victory to reach the finals in Madrid, which raises further questions over the form of Novak.

Her’s how twitter reacted to Rafa’s victory.
