We, today's generation of Tennis fans, are truly blessed to bear witness to the divine talents of, and scarcely human displays put on by, Roger Federer and his bromance buddy, rival, nemesis and reasonable co-claimant to GOAT ('greatest of all time') status, Rafael Nadal.
I like that lefty righty combination, the way they act,the way they dress, their temperoment and their personalities.
Rafa is a swashbuckler ,he waers his emotions in his sleeves.

RIVALRY/FRIENDSHIP NEVER SEEN BEFORE
Roger Federer Vs Rafael Nadal, generally known as "Fedal", is one of the longest, strongest and the greatest rivalry in all the sports.
Off their 12 meetings in Grand Slams Nadal leads Federer 9-3 while leading 6-3 in grand slam finals. From 2006 to 2008 Nadal and Federer played all the finals of the Roland Garros and the Wimbledon. That just shows how great this rivalry has been over the years.
It was the 28th of March, 2004, when Rafael Nadal met Roger Federer for the very first time and after that the sport would never be the same again.
Rafael Nadal is the King Of Clay whereas Roger Federer is known as the Grass Court Maestro. They both dominated and still dominating their favourite courts like no one has done before.
They have mutual respect for each other and seen each others Ups and Downs.In their 12 meetings in Grand Slams Nadal drives Federer 9-3 while leading 6-3 in fabulous pummel finals. From 2006 to 2008 Nadal and Federer played every one of the finals of the Roland Garros and the Wimbledon. That just shows how incredible this competition has been throughout the years.
Federer's injury concerns started to emerge as he entered in his mid-thirties. Since 2012 Wimbledon, Federer has not won a grandslam title until 2017 Australian Open.
While Federer was managing his own particular issues, Nadal remained on top from 2012-2014 by expanding his own particular record of French Open titles to nine and breaking even with Pete Sampras' Grand Slam wins of 14. However, Injury bug bit Nadal after the French Open. His First Grandslam Title came after 3 years in the same court of Stade Roland Garros
Year 2017 marked as the revival year for these two titans of the sports as they managed to win all 4 Grandslam titles that year sharing two a piece.
- Roger won Australian Open and Wimbledon.
- Nadal won Roland Garros and US Open.
These Two guys are doing great in 2018 too having won Australian Open(Federer) and Roland Garros(Nadal) but failed to reach finals of Wimbledon, with US Open still to come.
I Hope one of these Two players lift this years US Open trophy again.
