Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal’s rivalry is not just regarded as the best in tennis but one of the best in all sports as this rivalry is not between two ordinary players but two of the greatest tennis players of all time.
They played each other for the 34th time in Basel final last week which was their first meeting in 21 months. Federer won the contest after a three set thriller and reduced his deficit against Nadal in their head to head record to 11-23.

2005 Miami Masters Final: Federer won 2-6 6-7(4) 7-6(5) 6-3 6-1 This was just second meeting of this rivalry. In their first ever meeting exactly a year earlier, 17-year-old Nadal had stunned Federer in straight sets in the third round at the same tournament so this was a perfect chance for Federer to take his revenge.
Nadal took two sets to love lead and looked set to claim his second win over the world number one as he raced to a 4-1 lead but then the Wimbledon and US Open champion fought back to capture next three sets and won the match 2-6 6-7(4) 7-6(5) 6-3 6-1.
