( CNN ) -- They already have the record for the longest final in grand slam history , and now tennis rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are preparing to make history again in an ambitious bid to attract the biggest crowd . The world 's top-ranked players will go head-to-head in a special match for charity at Real Madrid 's Bernabeu Stadium on July 14 . No . 1 Djokovic and his predecessor Nadal hope to draw 80,000 fans -- which would smash the previous record set by two of the sport 's top women players .

Nadal , a Real Madrid supporter who tries to attend as many matches as possible , said he was thrilled to be taking part in the historic event . `` Back to practicing , very happy because the Rafa Nadal Foundation 's event has been confirmed at Bernabeu !
