Andy Murray vs Novak Djokovic's best final in Rome

Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic challenged each other only once at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia. The prestigious Italian tournament, which saw its first edition in 1930, is one of the most important events of the clay season and the last ATP Masters 1000 in preparation for the French Open.

The Scot and the Serb competed in 2016 final: Murray won in straight sets with the final score of 6-3, 6-3. A few days later Djokovic defeated his rival in the Roland Garros final, winning his first title in Paris and completing the Career Grand Slam. Just a few weeks later, Murray won Wimbledon and, at the end of the year, won the ATP Finals against Nole, while a few days earlier he dethroned his rival and became the world no. 1 for the first time.

This is one of the memories of past days as the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the season's suspension over time. The tournament could be relocated this season in the calendar, before or after the French Open or during the Fall.
