Nadal and Djokovic video in Kazakhstan

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are back to action in Kazakhstan, where they are scheduled to play a rather exciting exhibition.

The two tennis legends will have an interesting day in Nur-Sultan to hold a press conference at 12 pm, a tennis clinic with children at 6 pm, before clashing against each other at 7 pm. The venue is the Barys Arena.

In this video Rafa and Nole in action during the clinic.

Why this exhibition is interesting

Nadal and Djokovic are about to fight for the year-end world no.1 rank. Soon after this exhibition, they will compete in Paris (the last Master1000 of the season) and at the ATP Finals in London. Even if this will be only an exhibition, it will be interesting to see who is going to win and their fitness as they were both struggling with injuries. In fact, while on one side, Rafa had to skip the Asia swing because of a problem to his left wrist, Nole was struggling with an issue with his left shoulder.
