its poetic how their last two matches were played at roland garros and wimbledon, with each player winning their respective court of expertise. a fitting end to one of the most iconic rivalries in sport history.

[sssbbb]

As a rafa fan, rogers retirement is sad. Fedal is tennis poetry, even there head to head, their first grand slam match ending in a rafa win at RG, his stronghold, and their last GS macth ending in a roger win at wimbledon, his stronghold. The head to head started with rafa winning 6 of the first 7 matches and it ending with roger winning 6 of the last 7 macthes. Wimbledon 2007, 2008, french open 2006, 2008, Australian open 2017 and many more, their matches and rivalry have been the closest thing to destiny in tennis.

many say it was a lop sided rivalry, but 24-16, is a 60-40 ratio, which even at face value is not bad. head to head by surface shows, federer dominates on grass (3-1) and indoor hard (5-1); nadal dominates on clay (14-2), and has a slight lead on outdoor hard (8-6). And we need to consider that a disproportionate number of matches were played on clay early in the rivalry (due to Rafa losing in early rounds of fast surfaced tournaments). I'd say this was quite balanced and competitive

It was this rivalry which made so many of us fall in love with tennis..this was the greatest era in tennis history & thank you Roger for being a part of it…among of 3 of these guys, it really doesn’t matter who will finish with highest no of slams, but nobody can deny the fact that Rafa wouldn’t have been Rafa without Roger & Novak would not have achieved all this without these two..our generation was lucky to witness this history!!

Rafa's dominance on clay through the years is just breathtaking.

[itaisharabi]

Cool fact: Apart from wimbledon 2019, everytime Federer won Nadal, he also won the whole tournament.

Roger will never be forgotten❤❤❤
Wish him a happy and peaceful retirement 🎉🎉🎉

Amazing. The 2 legends and the way they shaped each other’s careers, and lifted tennis to new heights of popularity never seen before. I’m guessing a Federer Djokovic video is coming soon.

This rivalry truly came to life for me in the 2017 Aus open. I had heard of it and how epic it was, but that match was so amazing.

Makes me so sad that we will not be able to witness these titans play each other again. Their rivalry is what made me fall in love with tennis. Love roger from the heart ❤️. Coming from a novak fan.

Lucky us, lucky us, lucky us. Two absolute giants playing matches at the highest levels, not giving an inch, each one evolving their game in response to the other, each pushing the other to greater heights, and all of this done with a spirit of abiding respect, friendship and sportsmanship. Lucky us.

[nagappanulaganathan]

Federer is the most elegant player with all the tennis strokes in the sport. You stole every one of our heart with your flamboyant stroke play and the innocent smile. We miss you badly.

Federer and Nadal the two legends of Tennis, the former ruling grass and later ruling clay.Both of them great ambassadors of the sport with their lovely attitude setting example for true sportsmanship.
Every match between them was a feast to all of us.
Hat's off to them.
