This Federer vs Nadal point just hits different

Federer hit a winner like 3 times here and still lost the point

Nadal's defense at his peak was unrivalled

One of the best points in tennis history. There were a few of them in their Aus finals 09 and 17.

At the very least when RF lost to RN (mainly based of the mental block post Roma 06 ans the stylistic nightmare of a match up) he lost to a guy producing an insane level of tennis. Can’t say the same for ND who got schooled repeatedly by a geriatric and relied on luck on MPs

I miss them. Pardon me while I cry.

Can you put this side by side with the 2017 AO final rally. Just amazing

Like to watch the full match. Can you tell about the year and tourney

Australian Open final 2009

This is the 2009 version of "They don't play tennis like this anymore" 😂

This was a result of Federer's cocky mentality and Nadal's insane defense.
