Federer Vs Nadal News
Rafael Nadal has now lost his all three matches against Roger Federer this year, including the epic Australian Open final.
The Swiss maestro defeated Nadal 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 at Rod Laver Arena in the final match that lasted for more than two-and-a-half hours to win his fifth Australian Open crown.
While fans across the world tuned to their TV sets to watch the high-voltage encounter, those who could afford to watch it live were ready to shell out huge sums of money for a life-time experience.
Federer, who last won a Grand Slam in 2012 (Wimbledon), defeated Nadal 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 in a contest that lasted for 3 hours and 38 minutes.
Federer, the 17th seed, hit 73 winners, including 20 aces, and won 76 per cent of his first service points for victory in three hours and 37 minutes.
It was a redemptive win in the Australian Open men's final for Federer, as the Swiss has struggled against Nadal, losing four straight major finals to the fearsome left-hander since his Wimbledon victory in 2007.
