Two very different kind of champions.
The silky smooth backhand v the buggy-whip forehand.

Bull on the loose...
Those eye-watering groundstrokes come out to play as charges through the 2nd set 6-3.
Or was he even Nadal?
Who's this guy playing against Federer in the 2nd set? Where has he come from?

Someone had an explanation for what went wrong for Roger in the second.
My racquets were hacked by the Russians in the 2nd set. Staff members, please notify immediately

Nadal broke early in the fifth to take a lead, and Federer had 5 break opportunities in 3 different games, but
5 break points 5 winners
— Brad Gilbert (@bgtennisnation)
Before he finally did break, and hell broke loose.
This AO fifth set has us like (stop it)... Leave us a comment if you feel the same. Roger moves in 1 step closer 3-3.

Chris Evert couldn't believe it.
Are you KIDDING me???!
— Chris Evert (@ChrissieEvert)
There's no point of any more tennis really
Tennis should be retired as a sport after this . They can call it something else.

Rafa ;)
Rafa : "Roger deserved it a little bit more than me"

True that!
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are like Shiv-Parvati. Henceforth their names will always be taken together.

This is special not just for us!
Unlike us, Federer’s children are too young to remember him win even the 2012 Wimbledon. This one is for them. Their father, a champion.
