The two court giants have shared 142 sets together but never has either showed such dominance in a single one, with Nadal taking the delicious-sounding honor of being the first to romp home without stoping a a game to claim the first set in the final in the Italian capital.
World number two Nadal will be looking to best his Serbian counterpart not least for the drubbing the latter handed out in the Australian Open final back in January to claim his seventh title Down Under.
