My favorite thing about the Federer-Nadal rivalry is that Federer had accumulated the longest running winning streak on grass, and Nadal had the longest running winning streak on clay, with each player's streak being broken by the other.
Does Fed still hold the record for winning streak on grass and how many was it ?

That's right!
Many forget that Roger is a phenomenal clay courter. Nadal is the main guy to keep Roger from winning a few French opens.
And Monte Carlo, Rome (for example in 2006) 🤔
Yea, no one forgets that!

Bro... Federer ended the winning streak of Sampras on grass, nadals on clay and djokovic 46 win streak in his monster 2011... Thts the GOAT right there!
This is one of Fed's most important matches in his career, Nadal couldn't stop defeating him on clay, and all of a sudden he beats the Spaniard in a Masters final with a bagel. Respect to these two legends.

Nadal holds the record for longest winning streak on clay, which was ended by Federer, and Federer holds the records for longest winning streaks on grass and hard court, both of which were ended by Nadal. Legends.
Not hard court though - Borg owns that record
@@orchidpanda2253 No, Federer's 56-win hard-court streak is the record. 2nd place is Federer again at 36 wins and 3rd is Djokovic with 35.
@@stewiegriffin12341 About 50% of Fed's win streak in both HC and grass came while playing in atp 500 and 250🤕Federer, himself, said that he didn’t consider his 64-match grass streak as “greater” than Bjorn Borg’s 41-match streak, because Borg had made all his grass wins at Wimbledon, the world’s most competitive grasscourt tournament, while Federer had made the bulk of his wins at the Tier-III tourney at Halle, which was populated by few top 32 players, most of who were all over at Queen’s Tier-III, in England.
@@vaibhavsachan2527 Federer’s grass win streak contained within it a 41-match streak at Wimbledon, so I think it is greater than Borg’s.
@@stewiegriffin12341 Nope Fed had a win streak of 34 matches at wimbledon not 41, Borg had a streak of 41 which is why Borg's achievement is better
Edit sorry I just saw fed had 41 there nevermind
From 2-6 down to beating prime Nadal 6-0 and winning the match on clay. Pure class.
Prime Fed's forehand was from another universe, the best forehand I've witnessed in tennis history. Sure, there are big hitters like Del Potro with Thor-like monstrous forehands, but Prime Fed's forehands were literally perfect: they had everything, speed, accuracy, power, unbelievable variation from different kinds of angles, I could go on and on....
Seriously, he has a deceptive amount of spin, that semi eastern forehand allows for so much easy power using only the wrist, like dimitrov. And he did this all with like a 90 square inch frame. In his prime, is stance was like a rock and he swung his forehand with the weight of a truck and could hit any shot. Nadal’s forehand is really only the best forehand on clay but fed can use for literally any surface
The best shot in the history of tennis.
And his backhand isn't too shabby now either.
Since when did you watch tennis? Sampras forehand is better and probably also Agassi forehand.
About Fed his forehand was great in the first part of career then he focused on backhand (mfybe becauee Nadal always sent all to.ht backhand)
You are very astute in your observations. Absolutely the best, most varied forehand around. Nadal's forehand is a monster as well, but it doesn't have Roger's dexterity. Incredible weapon.
It never ceases to give me goosebumps when Federer, who rarely makes a sound on the court, wins a decisive point give a strong "come on". He's a mental warrior.
I miss that "come on!"
The greatest comeback and beat down ever of Nadal on clay. Even Djokovic never managed to beat him this bad ever on clay. Especially after losing the first set 6-2 just makes it that much more special. And yet they never give Federer enough credit for his mental strength. To comeback and do that he just kept on playing his very best. This was incredible to say the least.

@@randallharmon7402 huh??
Great respect shown by Federer after the win, by not celebrating too much because he knew he had just beaten his greatest rival 6-0 and that might have been humiliating. Even though this was his first win against Nadal on clay and he must have been ecstatic.
The respect between the two is real!
Federer in full flight is untouchable 👍👏
Wow Roger didn’t only break his clay record, he also fed him a bagel on clay. What a king!
Hamburg was one such clay court which was owned by Federer. Given his past record at Hamburg , I had a good feeling about this final contrary to what everyone believed or said. Even in 2008 Federer was steamrolling Nadal until the Spaniard took medical time out to break Federer's momentum. Even after that the match went till 3rd set. Even today Federer holds the record of most no. of titles at Hamburg making him the only player in history to have highest number of titles on every tennis surface, a rare feat indeed.
That Federer haircut was one of the best hairstyles I've ever seen on man
One of Roger´s greatest victories; for an aggressive one handed backhand ultra fast court player like Federer and beat Nadal on clay like this was something legendary ... to be able to beat Nadal 16 times with a one hander in a time where the courts were all slowed down to favour the ralliers and still win 20 majors is something that may never be repeated.
The toughest thing in tennis is beating Rafa Nadal 6-0 in a set & Roger did it on all 3 surfaces, that is so underrated stat.
But Nadal / Federer head to head...
@@Mike-sg6de Funny how Rafa fans only look at the h2h lead but not the statistics within it. If you dig into their h2h comparison, more matches were played on clay. What does this mean and tell you? It means that Nadal is an outstandingly clay court specialist and better than Federer on clay in their h2h, which obviously edges in h2h win over Federer due to mostly one-sided surface matches, but Federer is better and leading over Nadal on grass & hard court within their h2h comparison.
@@Mike-sg6de weird to go to h2h now federer has won 7 of the last 8 ffss
@@michaelhairo just head to head, sorry if it is difficult for you to accept,...
@@ralki15 being so delusional, they've played 21 matches on hard and 15 on clay, so what's your point about 'more matches were played on clay'?

15:43 Such a LEGENDARY reaction!
Yeah because he also knows this is probably gonna be one of his only wins vs Rafa on clay 😂😂
@@Boomshakalaka7654fanboi spotted
Federer's decision-making skills were brilliant .. especially knowing when to approach the net to close the point.
He has always reminded me of Borg.
81 streak...this is just phenomenal because it happened on more than just one year. Federer ended a great streak here just as Novak's in RG SF in 2011. Not to forget that nadal also ended Federer's grass court win streak too.
THis is what you call great rivalry. But in the end even when they loose to each other they accept it like "ok today you were better, i'm eagerly waiting for our next meeting". THis is the trademark of those champions.
And THAT is what is missing from another player with an indomitable will to win, but whose “virtue” in the Aristotelian sense (pardon the fancy reference) otherwise leaves a great deal to be desired.
Federer is above average no way close to Nadal and djoker, he couldn't even beat Nadal once in French open 😂😂😂 whereas Nadal has demolished Federer in Wimbledon
@@gannavlogs "Demolished", lol. It took a prime Nadal, 5 sets, 3 match points, a mentally-out Federer and the match of his life to beat Roger. The only thing that puts Nadal and Novak in the same conversation as Federer is their mental strength. Sure, Federer is mentally resilient, after all he's won 20 gs titles, but had he been mentally tougher, he would be the undisputed goat. Of course, there are no ifs, but it's stupid to consider that Nadal "demolished" Federer in Wimbledon.
Remember this vividly. Couldn't believe it at that time. I used to watch the highlights on repeat, just to savour the rare feat. Thanks for the upload.
A great match. A great win. Even Uncle Toni was applauding the performance.
I still remember that day. When Federer beat Nadal, our news paper had a huge photo of Federer. I cut that photo and put it on the wall in our house. That match was very special. After the defeat, Nadal said that he felt better losing to Federer than losing to anyone else.
Can you imagine someone beat young Nadal on Clay with 6:0 after losing first set ,even Nadal just finished 81 match winning streak on clay.
Federer is easily in top 4 clay court player of all time.
I agree but hard to make that case without the titles.
Again, Fed is the most elegant style of the tennis world.
81 matches unbeaten!!!
What a BEAST!!🔥🔥
It took the greatest ever to stop him, and he ended Federers streak in greatest match ever played.
If I could just go back to the mid 2000's, hit pause, and watch these two play one another in their primes, in an alternate reality where they would never age, fade, & retire. That would be heavenly.
baby Nadal is not prime Nadal
@@NamTran-xc2ip OK genius, I see the point was beyond your comprehension. And I understand dweebs like you who need to throw cold water on every post. So do you feel important now that I responded to your useless reply and that no one else read?
This Nadal on clay is better than most versions of himself on clay in the 2010s
81 straight wins on clay is absurd..Roger got a memorable fantastic win here..!
No one can beat Roger & Rafa’s rivalry. They are phenomenal!!

@@stuewz cringe
Love the way he patiently worked Nadal to the corners and then used his GOAT net play. What a master of the game!
This is one of Federer's most well-known game strategies. On paper it looks simple but unless it's executed with perfection and enough variation, it can backfire. Federer is a master of this tactic.
Amazing that not one of the pundits and not one of those commenting here noticed that Federer had re-vamped his backhand, going to a more eastern grip, which gave him more power and flatter strokes. Here, he mixed some topspin shots but mostly went for it with power. It worked. Go Roger! Few can modify their strokes to this extent in mid-career.
Federer is from another planet, just amaizing!!!
If Federer is from another planet where is Nadal from having won 81 straight on clay?
@@dvelilla Nadal in Clay is the best no doubt!!!
What a joy to whatch again these two legends playing each other at such a level.
#GOAT
Two of the GOAT battling it out. I'm a super Fed fan but I deeply respect the fire & competitiveness of Nadal. Were it were anybody else Rafa would get my cheers.
13:18 the sound of the strike holy sh... Federer's FH was just pure destruction back then...
An explosion. And watch the speed of the ball 😲😍
Thank you for posting these many, important, tributes to the greatest tennis player ever to touch a racquet. There is simply no comparison. If the Kingdom of Tennis shall see someone win 1000 Grand Slams, those who know will still say “This was its finest hour.”
How much are we missing this rivalry!! Fortunate to have lived in this era of tennis….
This is an example of how top players-even nadal-can play exceptionally well and still be defeated convincingly by Federer
if federer only have play like this all the time. The last set is the best set ever in tennis history🍓
Just passing through on my journey to watch every Federer match.
I am Novak's fan, but I agree that Roger and Rafa are usually more fun to watch. We should be thankful that technology has been advanced enough in the times of the Big Three, and that we and future generations will be able to watch them in years, decades, and even centuries from now.
Novak on the offense is incredible to watch as well as his defenseive streches but when he plays the same backhand for the 10th time in a row, yeah not very funny
16:22 Love how it's all smiles from Uncle Toni
Love this match. What a match from Fed! Thanks for the upload.
This match shows how he changed his use of his backhand to script one of his greatest wins. the first set Feds backhand was only pushing the ball and getting it back on the backhand. Classic Nadal. In the next two sets he starts attacking with the backhand interchanging with defense. On attack its potent enough to make Nadal try to switch to his forehand side and as that would be the percentage shot. This always was going to keep fed in the match as he was always trailing. What changed the result was that peRFect Forehand. This match shows why he has one of the greatest forehand in the game if not the greatest. Federer when his forehand is clicking cannot be beaten by Nadal or Djokovic unless his serve and backhand are failing at the same time. Fed was dominating Nadal on the forehand and backhand side on Nadals favorite surface while on one of the greatest streaks in tennis and also not being beaten Fed on clay before this match. Nadal had the greatest advantage in their rivalry at this point and things started changing a bit from here. One of Feds only two wins on clay against Nadal. Only difference being in 2007 he reached final and got beaten by Nadal and in 2009 he got to the final and won and there was no Nadal.
Phenomenal athletes and competitors, and then along came Novak to make it three, amazing rivalries that we won't ever see again!!
This is interesting because Djokovic has the record several times for consecutive matches won between about 30-50, which is outrageous on all surfaces, but on each surface it is held by the other 2, on clay clearly Nadal, the greatest dominance of a surface and on hard and grass Federer with about 40-60.
watching these two playing is a treat for eyes
On this match we can see Mr Federer was particularly a little more patient and conscious to play the important points…my humble opinion.
This is probably tied for the best clay achievement of Fed's career tbh
Agree - this and 2009 RG title
Really surprising to see how often the length of their shots drop, and they hit it on the serve line.
What a pair of heroes. Fantastic battle.
That hand clasp at the net. Only respect from each other.
81 match win streak on one surface is absolutley insane!!!
And it took the very best to stop him, no one else could, not at that time
The 2 greatest players in men’s tennis history.
What a match, love both players, phenomenal ❤️👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺
Despues de ver este tennis queda alguna duda de que son los dos mejores de la historia sin discucion?
Great match between two absolute greats. Hard to believe that 15 years later Rafa is still French Open champion.
I remember this. Previous year (2008) Nadal beat Fed at Wimbledon. So this was like revenge for Federer. Being a Federer fan ( now I love them both) it was really an awesome moment.
no, this is 2007
So glad to say these two are THE Legends of my time (34). The Yin and Yang of the sport. True representation of sportsmanship. 😤
The Greatest Rivalry in tennis history 🙌🏿
Those were the days ✨💚💚

Federer vs Nadal is easily the greatest rivalry in all sports. I can't think of any other sports with any other players/teams that meet that frequently and exciting.

@@trumpameri1638 The Big 3 are in the same league - don't get it twisted. If Nole wins 6 more slams, then you can start talking about his own league.
Great match. One thing I never noticed until after I played on a clay court, the ball bounces so much higher!
Cracking the enigma code, solving the mysteries of the universe, beating Nadal on clay...It takes some doing.
I truly believe that these two guys must reach the same meditative state as a master zen buddhist monk during a match. you can see it in Nadal's eyes when he serves and on Feder's face after he gives one of his 100mph+ returns. Tennis is arguably the sport that requires the most concentration, so voiding your mind of all the clapping, cameras, stress, and score to focus on the current point in play is the advantage that gives them the edge to make them the greatest.
Federer also Ended Djokovics 44 Match Win Streak in 2011...Federer was also the Last player to Beat Djokovic before Djokovic Won those 44 Matches in a row...Fed Was GREAT on ALL Surfaces including Clay and Same goes for Djokovic/Nadal...Top 3 were absolutely DOMINANT Year after Year
That was when joker started his “gluten free diet”🙄
Watching this reminds me of how amazing Fed was on clay. It’s just his bad luck that the greatest clay courter ever played during his prime
We're so spoiled with the Big 3 that winning "only" 20 slams is "bad luck" 🤣
undoubtedly Federer will remain as the greatest player of all time.. though he left his legacy, his intensity, his charisma, his way of playing no one can never ever replace him.. there's no place for the sport"tennis" without Federer..
Djokovic as one man stood against millions of haters and multiple governments and still came out the greatest.
2 finest gentlemen whom played another great match between them
Once Federer career has finished, many folks believe he was a bad clay court player: 1 RG, several RG finals ... the thing is, when compared with Nadal, everybody would be a bad clay court player ...
What a great player. Love Fed
Excellent highlights of a fascinating match. Thanks for posting!
I miss the Federer vs Nadal rivalry. The magnitude and significance of it will never be seen again.

i get asthma attack flashbacks listening to nadal's vocalisations.
Handshake at the end reminds me of the Arnold handshake meme lol, also makes me think of how in the fedal matches you ideally want both to win m, and it feels like a shame to see one of them lose, and in the current eras there are matches where you would rather see both players lose and it's a shame that one of them has to win, crazy to think about since rivalries like this don't happen often in sports in general
13:30 WHAT AN EPIC RALLY/VOLLEY/POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
with 100% of his power no one can beat federer
Federer would have won at least 3 more French Opens and 5 more Masters on clay if not for Nadal. Federer was really unlucky being in the era of the best clay courter of all time who hardly lost any matches on clay over 10 years.
Well, what would be the sports Without rivalries?
