    All Grand Slam channels should upload ALL the matches between the Big 3, either full matches or extended highlights like this, in full HD quality. These matches should now be considered a common owned treasure for humanity, considering the fact that we are approaching very fast to the end of the greatest era in tennis history.

    Nadal really got under Fed's skin in a way that hadnt happened to him b4 on the ATP tour. He was used to being *THE MAN!* And virtually winning a match before the 1st ball was even struck. But in Fed's mind, Nadal actually had the belief, fire and determination to beat him and it rattled him. And caused Fed for moments to revert back to that kid who had serious temper/anger issues on court. Amazing!

Nadal would always say that although he consistently wins against Federer, he found every point hard to win as Federer could do every shot in tennis and created new ones. Their opposite style also makes it awesome and entertaining to watch their matches!

      Didnt even finish Year End Champs cuz he was injured; missed this years AO and tge #1 ranking back to Novak. Just got rolling last month by winning 2 tourneys so far. I keep a watch. Same happened to Thiem and Medvedev after they win.

    It was written in the stars from the moment they played their first-ever match on clay that Rafa would soon take up permanent residence in Roger's psyche. This match was a battle of wills which ultimately heralded the beginning of the end of Roger's chances in this budding rivalry and sealed his lopsided record against the clay-court wunderkind, especially at Roland Garros. And the rest, as they say, is now history.

    Poor Roger. Balls that spinny are so hard to slice, and this is just the begining of that trend. Players after this all learned to play with more 'closing' grips, such as Rafa's semi-western, or Djocokic's extreme-western, so they can be more spinny themselves, and also more resistent to rivals' spinness. Today's tennis is all about running and hammering, almost like boxing.
