Roger Federer is arguably the greatest tennis player in history, but he has something on his curriculum that doesn’t really click with his status: H2H vs. Rafa.
To date Roger has a 10-23 win/loss record against Nadal. The Spaniard has a game that Roger doesn’t like and according to the Swiss an early adoption of his larger racket would have not changed things between him and Rafa.
Roger: Rafa would have still beaten me many times
During a recent interview the Swiss Maestro commented “I tried to change to a larger racquet five years ago. But it’s difficult to do that when you are having so many victories with your existing racquet.
As for Rafa, he is a great player, very hard to beat. He’d have still beaten me many times.”
Roger is now getting ready for the new seasons. He will play his first tournament in Brisbane this coming January.
