Nadal triumphs over Federer in Australian Open

In a couple of those courtside television interviews that seem frivolous at the time, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were asked separately at the start of this Australian Open what part of the other's game they would like to have for their own. Each said the forehand. Nadal might like to rethink that one. On Rod Laver Arena, the shot the Swiss has used for most of his 14 years on the Tour to master nearly everyone in the game malfunctioned at enough key moments to allow Nadal to beat him for the 18th time in 27 contests and advance to the final on Sunday against the winner of Friday's semi-final between Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic. Nadal won 6-7 (5-7), 6-2, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 in three hours and 42 minutes.Add your comment
