Australian Open: Federer – Nadal

Nadal - Federer: Australian Open Final

I’m so sad that Nadal beat Federer in the Australian Open finals in 5 sets: 7-5, 3-6, 7-6, 3-6, 6-2.

After a grueling 4 hour+ match, I thought Nadal would’ve ran out of gas in the 5th set but obviously not. None the less, it was an excellent game of tennis between the both, with amazing shots and skills from both sides.

Nadal has beaten Federer now at two big grand slams: Wimbledon and now the Australian Open.

At age 22, Nadal has won 6 grand slams where as Federer has only won 2 grand slams when he was 22. Federer has 13 grand slams under his belt now, but still chasing his 14th.

I hope he gets it and more because I reckon he’s one of, if not the best player out there with his reigning supremacy over the past 5 years or so. I prefer his style of tennis as well, very entertaining to watch.

Oh well, Federer has a pretty bad head to head match up against Nadal. I think it’s now like 6-13.
