Roger played Rafa for the first time in 2004 in the third
round of the Miami masters. Nadal leads the rivalry 23-12 to this point
A battle of the Ages happened yesterday as Roger Federrer
beat Rafa Nadal by 3 sets to 2. In the first set. In the first set Roger rolled
back the years as he was a tight set by 6 games to 4 and there were very few
errors in his game as he looked like he was on fire. But he was making some
simple errors in the se4ccond including a couple of double faults here and
there. Federrer showed when he could do again in the third by breaking twice to
beat Nadal by 6 games to 1 and looked unstoppable. But early he fourth set
Nadal was allowed to break but and take control of the fourth. The final set
was a bit of you get a game and then you lose it and serve3 did not seem to
mean that much until Federrer made the difference.
Serena lead the rivalry 17-11 Serena played Venus in the second
round of the Austrilian open for the first time as pros Venus won 2-0
Serena is now one behind the record set by Margret Court
after beating her sister Venus in the final of the US OPEN 6-4, 6-4 and showing
what it is that she could do and you could see at the early stages that both
players were nervous but a break in the middle of the set was what won the
first for Serena. Serena showed in the second what she could do and why she has
went back to number 1 in the rankings.
