Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal Wimbledon Men's Semi Final
In the News
I will be watching the match tomorrow really looking forward to the game. I am predicting that Roger Federer will beat Rafael Nadal in four sets.
The best tennis rivalry of all time and first meeting at Wimbledon since 2008.
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal renew their exalted rivalry on Friday when they meet at Wimbledon for the first time since the epic 2008 final.
McEnroe says anyone wanting to beat Nadal must meet fire with fire. The French Open champion has already seen off some very strong players (Picture: Getty) Speaking on the BBC, the American explained:
‘You play against a guy like Nadal, the guy wants to tear your heart out, he wants to eat you alive. I mean, he plays with such intensity. To me, the only chance you have when you play a guy like Nadal is you’ve got to try to match that.
‘I know when I played [Jimmy] Connors, who was our equivalent at the time, every point was like the last point you’re ever going to play. You try to look at yourself in the mirror and say, “Am I doing as much as this guy?” and most of the time the answer is no. I get it’s so difficult to do, but you have to try.’
