young Nadal was an absolute nightmare to play against. just can't get past him.
At their prime days. Unforgettable! Much love to the legends.
Federer's magic and Nadal's grit. What a time we were in to witness thisβ€
That 2009 Nadal at the AUS Open was unstoppable π₯
Playing every single point as match point by Nadal is just incredible...
The long hair Nadal and pre knee tendonitis injury curse was something i will never forget in my entire life as a Roger Federer fan, if you know what I mean!
With the exception of that last set, this is maybe the highest level of tennis that Iβve ever seen in any match. The 2008 Wimbledon final and the 2012 and 2017 Australian open finals are the 3 closest matches to this one.
That 2017 AO point was more important in terms of federers mentality getting over block against Nadal, but this point was far superior, angles, faster great running, great returns awesome winner.
We saw a very similar rally in AO 2017 final as wellβ€
Their intense rivalry pushed both there individual game, skill level to another level
Man I miss this guy. Trying to get back into the swing of finding another favorite but it aint easy. Such a muscle and tech game now. Getting use to it but nothing will replace these two.
Who have watch this beauty more than 3 timesβ€β€ππ
Greatest point in tennis history.
These 2 competing was the pinnacle of tennis. Nowhere else will you find such epic play.
The goat's of tennis. Love ya rafa

That Long Squash Shot Fed Hit to Right Corner on Full Run Was Amazing and Nadals Finish Was Amazing
Theyβre just phenomenal. Imagine being able to play like that? Nothing comes close to these guys in their prime π€―
Someone's opinion: "Sinner&Alcaraz are higher level than Fedal" Me: This
Two legends
