The Slovakian has reached a career-high ranking of World No.24, in addition to capturing six career ATP titles.<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Facing each player would require a change in tactics, says Klizan<\/h2>\n<div class=\"first:font-bold md:text-lg text-base\">Nadal and Djokovic are the most successful male tennis players in history in terms of Grand Slam success, winning 22 and 24 Major singles titles respectively. The duo have faced each other on 60 separate occasions, making their rivalry the most played in ATP Tour history.<\/div>\n<div class=\"first:font-bold md:text-lg text-base\">In an interview with Punto de Break, Klizan elaborated on the differences when playing against both players. The Slovakian pointed out how one must adapt his playing style in order to stand a chance against either of the two tennis legends.<\/div>\n<div class=\"first:font-bold md:text-lg text-base\">&#8220;With Rafa, you know that he is always going to make the match hell for you. Nothing is free,\u201d said Klizan. &#8220;With Novak, you know that you have to be very precise in your shots; if you don\u2019t get it, he is going to destroy you. With Rafa you can fight, you can also hit winners.<br \/>\n\u201cWith Djokovic, \u200b\u200bit is difficult to hit winners, but you have to be very precise. You need to use the body serve, mix everything with the slice, the tactics are a bit different.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"first:font-bold md:text-lg text-base\">Klizan is one of the few players who have picked up a win over both Djokovic and Nadal, defeating the Serbian in three sets at the Barcelona Open in 2018, while he beat Nadal at the\u00a0China Open\u00a0in 2014.<\/div>\n<div class=\"overflow-x-hidden\">\n<div class=\"mb-4\">\n<div class=\"aspect-w-16 aspect-h-9\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"h-full w-full\" title=\"video\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kHuV9m-NoXA\" width=\"580\" height=\"320\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With both\u00a0Rafael Nadal\u00a0and\u00a0Novak Djokovic\u00a0known for being incredibly difficult to play against, ATP player Martin Klizan has chimed in on what differentiates the two athletes.
