The Swede shocked the King of Clay in four sets at the fourth round stage in 2009 – going on to reach the final before succumbing to Roger Federer for the Swiss' only French Open title.
Djokovic, meanwhile, humbled a hampered Nadal 7-5, 6-3, 6-1 in the 2015 quarter-finals… before being shocked by Stan Wawrinka in the title match.

Rafael Nadal's quarter-final victory over Jannik Sinner took both players deep into the night on Chatrier.
The match finished just before 1:30am local time… but it wasn't the late finish that irked the Spaniard, but the cold, even 'dangerous' conditions.
He said after the 7-6, 6-4, 6-1 triumph: “Of course, it is not an ideal finish, a match at 1.30 in the morning. But the problem is the weather… Honestly, it is very, very cold to play tennis, no?
“I know football players play under these conditions, but it is a little bit different. They are all the time moving.
“We stop, we come back, we stop on the changeovers. It is a sport that you are stopped in a lot of moments, no? I think it is a little bit dangerous for the body to play with these very heavy conditions.”
