Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal: All 40 Match Points! 

Watch these matches in full on the Tennis TV website or apps > tnn.is/RU-vid

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.

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!!

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

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.

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

Sad that we'll never see a Fedal at US Open...😢

🇪🇸 GOATdal (Nadal) & 🇨🇭GOATderer (Federer) golden era of tennis & legend forever!!! Cheers!!! 👑💪🐐

He now leaves behind an INFINITE LEGACY, and a void that can never ever be fulfilled. The Legacy built on a foundation of a combination of God-gifted talent, hard work, dedication and enormous sacrifice. Thank you Roger Federer for everything you gave to the Sport, thank you for the sheer joy, encouragement, motivation, belief that you gave us over the years. There will never ever be another Champion like you. 💯❣️❤️

🇪🇸1) Nadal: The Beast. 🇨🇭2) Federer: The Magician. 👑3) FEDAL: The Greatest.

2004-2013 : 9 years of rivalry 2013-2022 : 9 years of friendship 18 years of greatness ❤

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.

As a 25 year old that watched almost their entire careers, I feel so lucky and at the same time heartbroken with Roger’s announcement Thank you two and Novak, for the greatest era in any sports History

🇪🇸1) Nadal: The King. 🇨🇭2) Federer: The Godfather. 👑3) FEDAL: The Legendary.

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.

i love that we can see handshakes every point :) you can see the love growing over the years

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.

Keep in mind Nadal was one of the only two people who have took wins against Federer in the entire 2006 season (the other being Andy Murray). Their duals are simply on another level.

The last chapter of their rivalry definitely belonged to roger. His new improved backhand played such a huge impact in this matchup the last years. For me if fed had that backhand since the start of their rivalry he would only lose to rafa on clay and even there he would have won some more matches.

Two legends, this rivality was the best

🇪🇸 GOATdal (Nadal) & 🇨🇭GOATderer (Federer) is still 100% undisputed champion of tennis & FEDAL 💎 forever!!! Cheers!!! 👑💪🐐

Their last two matches are a win by Rafa at Roland Garros, and a win by Roger at Wimbledon, of course...

Hamburg 2007 was just such a legendary match. Such a sweet bagel for Roger.

It was an honor and a great happiness to live in their time. I'm a Nadal fan, but Roger's retirement is sad.

what’s interesting is that before 2017, the one year federer dominated their h2h, nadal actually lead their h2h on hardcourts as well as clay-courts and it was 23-10 overall going into that year I believe.

What about the 50-meetings of Djokovic and Federer.Please upload that too tennis Tv.

2017 fed was something out of a fairytale

Video should be titled 'All ATP Match Points' instead of all 40. Just showing pictures of them with their Grand Slam trophies breaks the flow and downplays their one-of-a-kind incredible rivalry.

Tennis Tv: ”ALL 40 Match Points” and then shows like half of them😂

Es que era un niño y le llegó a lo más alto con mucho esfuerzo y disciplina. Y supo llevar el éxito a su forma de ver la vida. Nunca renunció a sus orígenes y eso es de una persona con una educación exquisita a pesar del divorcio de sus padres que fue muy duro para él. Estará en la memoria de todos los españoles sus grandes triunfos siendo un crío muy maduro. Todavía continúa, que esto no ha terminado aquí. Y seguirá como profesor, estoy segura para enseñar el saber está cuando se está en lo más alto. ESPAÑA se debe sentir orgullosa de que alguien como él nos represente en infinitas ocasiones y haga soñar nuestro himno. Enhorabuena por el bonito vídeo. Un saludo.

I personally think 2017 Nadal outside of clay for the most part wasn’t all that great, he had next to no pace on his serve and his pace off of his ground strokes weren’t high at all, especially compared to 2018/19

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.

It’s ansolutely a great pleasure to watch these two goats.As a Rafa’s fan ,I love Roger too much♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏All my hearts to these two legend♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

50 match points Djokovic vs Federer is next surely

As a Rafa fan I would have loved if the rivalry stayed 23-10 (Roger won 6 out of next 7) butttttt then Both him and Roger wouldn't have their resurgent years and Rafa wouldn't get his 8 GS that he won since 2017 RG. So I guess a small price to pay for bigger glory. Also of course feeling immensely sad that Federer is retiring 😭😭😭😭

TWO LEGENDS ONE GAME 🤝

Should the description of the video tell that RG and Wimbledon will only be photos?? There were too many epic finals on those GS to only show pictures…

The amount of disrespecting Djokovic by ATP is disgusting. Imho Federer' greatest rivalry was with Djokovic. They have epic matches especially on match points 🙃

Why don't you just title it 'All 28 ATP Match Points'? I know you don't have GS rights but showing a photo of a handshake/trophy presentation is not the match point

I don't think we will ever see an Era like this in the future. Two Titans

crazy that these 2 never played each other at the US Open

Federer deserves credit for finally figuring out the Nadal puzzle towards the end of the rivalry.

0:30 This young man's progress was so rapid that we are still wondering where it will end.

I'm a Federer fan but the 2019 twelve all 5th set tiebreak with joker at wimby was a joke. To both players to be fair. That semi win vs Nadal was prob the best in his later career. I don't care if joker wins in that final , well I do, but I'll never forgive Wimbledon for that system that was used once, ever and it was in the final and never again. The fact that roger didnt complain after that match really shows what a champion really is... A 7 pt tie break at 12 all. How could this have made any sense. It's the final theres no more matches just let them play it out. Idk that I'll ever get over that mess.

The greatest rivalry in sports history. The biggest rivals later became a best friends. Can’t wait for someone to put this wonderful history in documentary as everyone can enjoy on the big screen. RF forever 🐐

I'm remembering an amazing thing about Rafa - a few years ago at Laver Cup they were being interviewed, and Rafa was asked about winning their first match in 2004 Miami. Rafa shrugged and said he didn't really count that because Roger was sick (heat stroke.) That just amazed me, that Rafa even remembered that from 15 years earlier - it proves that he really does think in that incredibly humble way, that he kept that in his mind for so long. He doesn't think "I beat him in our first match on a hard court in his prime, that's how great I am," he thinks "well he wasn't at his best, I was a bit lucky, no? I prolly not gonna beat him in 2004 on hard court if he's at his best, no?" BTW as a Federer fan, Nadal might have beat him even if Fed was healthy that day. Nadal has such a unique style, the first time someone plays him is usually a shock to their system. They've never seen angles and bounce like that.

I really love this rivalry...Nadal and Federer

Did anyone else notice that a lot of nadal losses ended with a cross court backhand into the net? Same thing happened against tiafoe in the u.s.

Thank you. We needed this.

The racquet change was the key to Federer's success against Nadal. If he has done that earlier, he would won most of the time.

Roger hasn't shown extreme enjoyment while winning against Rafa... But Rafa was still considering the biggest achievement while winning against Roger.

That's why Fedal is so special and considered as the GOATS. They changed tennis forever by their impact, their history, their rivalry... No matter how he tries, Djokovic will never be in the same league as these two.

haven't they meet anytime in US open strange what a lovely matches they had, specially Roger last Indian wells and Miami was top for me always and Rafa's 1st Wimbledon title against Roger.

Ending it at 40 makes it an easy to remember number for future stats questions. Lol

Keep rolling 🇯🇵 ninja warrior keep rolling!!! Great Job & Cheers!!! ✅👏👏👏👏✅ Plus, 🇯🇵 ninja warrior the game, you’re the best!!! Vamos & Cheers to the rising sun!!! 🐐🇯🇵🥷 Grade: A+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

6:41 most awkward match point lol

Greatest means many things so no one is going to have the same meaning. But for me Roger is the best

Well this is lopsided😂

One of the most beautiful rivality of the history sports!

The biggest rivalry of tennis.. Thankyou fedal ✨🤍

Australian Open 🔥 2017 all tym fav 😍

It’s hilarious seeing them battle for who should shake the umpire’s hand first in the first few matches 😂

Gonna miss this rivalry. Their vastly different styles made their matches must see. Both nice ambassadors to the sport, maybe too nice. The rivalry would of been more epic if they didn't like each other so much lol

This is just a compilation of roger’s backhand errors

why are they not showing any of the grand slam points

Federer ended nadal's clay streak of 81 matches whereas nadal ended federer hard court streak of 56 matches and grass court streak of 65 matches.

Why not show the match points of Wimbledon 2006,2007,2008 ? AO 2009 ?!!! 2017 ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wat...

I grow up watching these 2 gods of tenis now that Rogers journey has ended can’t imagine when Rafa does the same, we have lived history in this sport, there won’t be ever again such a rivalry as those 2, legends

Second and third the best in history! Amazing players!

It was my favourite sports rivalry after India Pakistan Cricket match. I waited and enjoyed their matches more than el classico. Federer denied nadal atp finals, Miami masters, Shanghai masters whereas nadal denied him Monte Carlo, Rome masters. It was a legendary rivalry. I was so happy for Australian open 2017 final as it was fedal final after five and half years. For me, tennis will be incomplete without their match.

So Federer never had an advantage over their h2h? Might be wrong but it seems like it

best duo in tennis. They are like best friends. Gonna miss them so much. #fedal

Legends!

Didn’t they play at RG 2005 ?

Crazy nadal is still going !

“El que ríe al último, ríe mejor” Go RF 😁👌

Djokovic may be good...but his match ups against fed and Rafa are nowhere close to Fedal rivalry.

Federer is the best tennis player ever!! No Doubt!

It'd be cool to see every championship point of every tournament he won.

The real problem for de H2H: the worst years of RF, he always managed to make through the final rounds and face Rafa, but this is not the case in the opposite situation. The worst moments of Nadal and good RF (2012, 2014-15 for example) they barely face each other cause Rafa didnt make to this rounds.

January 2014 was the last time Nadal beat fed off clay.

Respect.

But what the heck happened at 6:42 that is ridiculous! I've never seen someone completely miss the ball with the racket ever

Por alguna extraña razón a Rafa nunca se le ha dado el ATP finals

It's incredible how loud Nadal was I'm paricular the early days 2006 mainly on clay he was screaming after every shot its actually a huge turn off and has too be a put off for his opponents aswell.nearly as loud as Sharapova 🙊

For me Tennis is Fedal ❤️🎾

I would also watch their winning&losing speeches to each other

Roger completely unlocked and dismantled Rafa in 2017. If he knew that earlier, he would have totally dominated him also, like everybody else.

2 legends that's it

If it wasn't Rafa that strong on clay courts, Roger would have easily reached 25 grand slams.

Biggest rivalry between these two icons of the tennis 🎾........

Glad this was put together, bit of a bummer the majors are copyrighted though. Thought the main tennis channel would be exempt from corporate bullshit like that

6:19 The Goat and the Crying baby
