Federer and Nadal have the greatest tennis rivalry
The greatest rivalry with Rafael Nadal comes to an end with Roger Federer’s retirement announcement.
In Roger Federer’s lengthy farewell letter, there is a small section where he specifically mentions his sporting rivals. He doesn’t name any players, but we all remember his battles with Rafael Nadal. This rivalry was taking place at the same time Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were competing. To be honest, it’s difficult to say which rivalry was more exciting to watch.
Roger is well aware that Rafael Nadal’s competitive nature is unquestionably what propelled him to become one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Their numerous finals against one another are proof of what great tennis should always represent. However, Federer was always a very different type of tennis player than Rafa. He was constantly prioritizing elegance over athleticism, which was one of Roger’s main trades in this sport.
Federer has always been the best on grass
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have met 40 times in total. There were 24 finals between these two, with Nadal leading the way 14-10. Rafa was always the king when it came to clay, and he was always the man when Roland-Garros arrived at the height of their rivalry. Roger Federer, on the other hand, was always the king of the grass. Roger defeated Rafa three times out of four times they faced each other on grass.
Where Nadal didn’t cut it as much as he did on clay was at Wimbledon, where Roger Federer’s greatness was on full display. He won eight of the 20 Grand Slam titles he won on that grass. Roland-Garros was always difficult for Roger, but he did win it once in 2009, but Rafa did not make the final after losing the smis vs Söderling match.
The Big-3 era
Federer may not have mentioned Rafa because another great tennis player came a few years later. Novak Djokovic rapidly joined Roger and Rafa as all-time greats.
The Big-Three era of the last 15 years may never be recreated. Federer may finish below Nadal and Djokovic, but he’s still the GOAT. We’ll miss the finals versus the other two greats. Roger leaves with 20 Grand Slam championships, behind Djokovic and Nadal.
