Every sport has its mega-rivalry, and in tennis, it’s Roger Federer against Rafael Nadal. The two best players of their generation, Federer has pretty much every record there is to own, but Nadal has beaten him 22 of 32 times during their respective careers.
They meet again in the Australian Open semifinals on Friday with Nadal two wins from tying Pete Sampras for second-place all-time in Grand Slam wins with 14, while Federer is one win away from the first all-Swiss Grand Slam final ever.
Being a huge fan of numbers and stats, I put together this blog over at tennisnow.com that helps break down the rivalry a bit more.
