XXXVI mecz (Nadal 23-13)

2017 BNP Paribas Open fourth round, Indian Wells, hard, Federer d. Nadal 6-2, 6-3

Channeling the same game plan that reaped the ultimate reward in the Australian Open final in January, Federer has put on a stunning display of aggression to defeat Nadal in the fourth round. Federer’s victory marked the first time he had defeated Nadal three times in a row in 36 FedEx ATP Head2Head meetings, following his five-set triumph in Melbourne in January and a three-set win in the 2015 Basel final. It was the first time the pair had squared off before the quarter-finals since their first meeting in the 2004 Miami third round.

Federer came out of the blocks in a hurry against Nadal. The Swiss secured the opener 6-2, consistently finding his mark coming over the backhand to keep Nadal on the back foot. His fifth backhand winner of the first set was followed by an explosive wrong-footing forehand winner to bring up a break point on the Spaniard’s serve at 3-1. He secured the double break off a spectacular backhand return winner for 4-1 after 23 minutes. He would close out the opening set in style as he threaded back-to-back forehand winners to bring up two set points and sealed it on his first with a serve-volley winner after 34 minutes.

Determined to make a statement he would not go quietly, Nadal started the second set with authority, holding to love with a forehand winner and an ace out wide for 1-0. Federer’s aggression continued to gnaw at Nadal, however. His confidence surged further when he broke early for 2-1 and now redlining, the pressure from the 36-year-old Swiss was relentless. He held to love for 4-2 off an ace out wide and drew the error from a looping backhand.

Roger on Rafa: ‘We Can't Get Enough of Each Other’

Spoiler:

Two will meet for the 37th time on Sunday
Once again, Roger Federer set too low expectations for himself heading into a big tournament this year. And once again, tennis fans around the world will be the beneficiaries.
After his BNP Paribas Open title two weeks ago, Federer thought a semi-final showing at the Miami Open presented by Itau would be an “unbelievable run”. On Sunday, the 35 year old will play Rafael Nadal for the Miami crown. It will be their 37th FedEx ATP Head2Head meeting and the 23rd time they've met in a final.
“Feels like old times. We're playing each other every week now. We can't get enough of each other,” Federer said.
The Miami final will mark the third time they've played this season. Federer has won both of their earlier meetings – the Australian Open final in January and their third-round match at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells last month. (Before Australia, Federer also low-balled his chances, saying before the tournament that a quarter-final run would be great.)

Sunday's final will also be the fourth time Federer and Nadal have met at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament in South Florida. Nadal won their first meeting, which started their rivalry, 6-3, 6-3 in 2004. Federer beat him in the Miami final the next year, coming back from two sets down to win 6-1 in the fifth set. In 2011, Nadal returned the favour, knocking Federer out in the Miami semi-finals, 6-3, 6-2.
“Should be really exciting because we had this epic match in 2005. The final was unbelievable. It was a turning point in my career, to be quite honest. For me to be able to focus for, I don't know how long we played, maybe four hours, smashing forehand after forehand down the line. I remember I felt like I had to learn how to fight in matches, and there I showed it to myself and my team that I could do it,” Federer said. “It was against somebody who ended up being my biggest rival. It's definitely going to be very special playing Rafa here again. Of course I'm thrilled for him as well that he came back as well as he did after the comeback, the struggles that he had last year.”
Federer brings an 18-1 record this season into the title match. But despite his incredible beginning, the Swiss right-hander knows beating Nadal for the fourth consecutive time will be a massive challenge. Nadal will be playing in his fifth Miami Open presented by Itau final, but he has never won the Masters 1000 crown.
“I feel like there is a mountain to climb in Rafa. He's not won it yet before. He's definitely feeling fresher than I feel right now. That's not a problem – I'll be ready on Sunday,” Federer said. “Hopefully it's not our last match.”
Nadal also knows he'll have to bring some of his best tennis to capture the title. “He's playing so good... He's playing great,” Nadal said of Federer. “When top player like him is playing that well, then it's always a big challenge for every player.”

XXXVII mecz (Nadal 23-14)

2017 Miami Open presented by Itau F, hard, Federer d. Nadal 6-3, 6-4

Federer might have said it best before he and Nadal faced off for the 37th time during the Miami final on 2 April: “Feels like old times.”

Few would have predicted that Federer and Nadal would have fought over one 'Big Title' in 2017, let alone a second. But both players steamrolled into the Miami title match, where Federer picked up where he left off the last time they met, during the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.

The Swiss right-hander, who also won the 2017 Australian Open final against Nadal, dominated on his serve in Miami, saving all four break points faced and winning 87 per cent of his first-serve points (34/39). During their first two FedEx ATP Head2Head meetings in 2017, Federer's flat and much-improved backhand was the story.

In Miami, Federer's forehand stole the spotlight. The fourth seed slapped 19 forehand winners, compared to 13 for Nadal. Federer left Miami with his third South Florida title, his third Sunshine Double and a tantalising question for fans to ponder: How long can one of the greatest of all-time keep up this stellar second act?

Ivan Ljubicić w 2006 roku:

"The only player who can give him some trouble at the moment, it's Rafael Nadal," Ljubicic said. "I think just because he (Nadal) is a lefty, nothing else. When he (Federer) is on top of his game, there's no one out there who can give him any trouble. It depends mostly on him."

Nadal & Federer: 89 Hours And Counting...

Just how much time have the two all-time greats spent together on court?

The very best parts of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal's FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry will remain unquantifiable forever. How their games have evolved throughout their careers. The passion they share for tennis. The feelings of excitement they've provided millions of fans during the past two decades.
But certain aspects of their rivalry, one of the best in all of sport, can be counted. And when you've played each other 37 times over 14 years and your match-ups have decided 23 tour-level titles, the numbers add up quickly.
To begin: They've spent a lot of time together. Nadal and Federer have been on court together for the equivalent of almost four full days – three days, 17 hours and 16 minutes, to be precise. If you're thinking about that in terms of a workweek, that's one busy week – 89 hours.
They've played more than 7,000 points, more than 1,100 games and more than 100 sets. They've had their share of faults – 126 double faults to be more accurate – but they've also aced each other dozens of times, and that's not hyperbole.

Podjarka w biurze ATP i w dziale marketingu, bo te starcia zaczęły choć trochę przypominać rywalizację. Nawet filmik nakręcili.

Podjarka w biurze ATP i w dziale marketingu, bo te starcia zaczęły choć trochę przypominać rywalizację. Nawet filmik nakręcili.

Najciekawsze co teraz powiedziałaby nasza stara znajoma Martina "Rywalizacja? Co to za rywalizacja, jak ja ciągle wygrywam" Hingis?

I czy były kiedyś bardziej romantyczne mecze niż finały Rzymu 2006, Wimbledonu 2008 i AO 2009? No były?
