Federer Versus Nadal AGAIN
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer played in the 2008 French Open finals - the third consecutive year that they have met in the finals at Roland Garros. Nadal came through again winning his fourth straight French Open title. There have been many exciting rivalries in men’s professional tennis, e.g. Borg versus McEnroe, Agassi versus Sampras. However, the Federer Nadal rivalry is already remarkable because of the consistency across vastly different surfaces, i.e. clay at Roland Garros and grass at Wimbledon, that
Rafa and Roger have displayed the past couple years. Roger Federer's amazing record of reaching 16 consecutive Grand Slam semi-finals illustrates his complete game. At the same time, Nadal continues to illustrate his dominance on the red clay while he has also improved his game on the faster surfaces as evidenced by his reaching the Wimbledon finals in 2006 and 2007 and winning Queen’s Club in 2008, as well as hard court titles. Will Federer and Nadal meet in the 2008 Wimbledon Finals again and (when) will Federer and Nadal meet in the Australian Open and U.S. Open finals?
