Rafael Nadal was sidelined for much of the 2012 season after suffering a knee injury but quickly bounced back to have one of the greatest comeback seasons in tennis history. Nadal reached nine finals in as many tournaments, and the tennis great from Spain faced off against Novak Djokovic in the ATP Finals held at the O2 Center in London on November 11, 2013. Djokovic had already bested Nadal during the China Open that September, and Nadal was looking to even the score against the defending champion in the ATP Finals. Nadal would lose a close and hard-fought final to Djokovic, losing 6-3 and 6-4.
