Rafael Nadal vs Roger Federer, Australian Open Men's Single Final Highlights

Rafael Nadal is taking on his long-time rival Swiss legend Roger Federer at the Australian Open final on Sunday.

Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal is all set to take on his long-time rival Swiss legend Roger Federer at the Australian Open final on Sunday. The 14-time Grand Slam champion will play Federer in a Grand Slam final for the ninth time.

Going by the facts,  Nadal will have the upper hand as he, the 2009 champion, seeded ninth, leads Federer 23-11 in their head-to-head rivalry, and has won their past three meetings in Melbourne, at the semi-final stage in 2012 and 2014 and in 2009 final. In 2014 final, Nadal won 7-6, 6-3, 6-3. He looks confident enough to repeat this.

Nadal looks extremely dangerous and now, after his five-set victory over Grigor Dimitrov, all the more. Nadal has already proved that from the baseline he is king, and the missiles that he launches from there will whiz past the stretched racquet of Federer.

Wherein, Federer, the 35-year-old superstar, who had returned to top-level tennis after a six-month injury lay-off, booked a spot in his 28th Grand Slam final with an inspiring victory over the 2014 title holder and fourth seed  Stan Wawrink 7-5, 6-3, 1-6, 4-6, 6-3 here on Thursday.
