  " Tennis is a tough sport, there is no draws. But if there was gonna be one, I would have been very happy to accept one tonight, and share it with Rafa, really..." - This sentence gives me goosebumps everytime. GOAT(s)

  2017 was the one last special gift for all of us who grew up watching the Federer-Nadal rivalry until the early hours of morning on our TV. The GOATS.

  Of all of Roger’s victories this will always be the sweetest to me.

  This was, by far, the best 5-set match that Federer ever played against Nadal.  We had not seen a backhand like that from him.  So, from this match on, Federer beat Nadal six out of seven matches. The other great match by Fed was his win against Nadal in that great Wimbledon semi-final of 2019.  Fed won that one in 4 sets, despite an amazing attempt to come back by Nadal in the latter stages of that 4th set.

  Even though that loss still hurts, it&apos;ll remain one of the most magical nights in Tennis history.<br>I believe it helped not only Roger, but Rafa as well to start believing they can win Grand Slams once again. <br><br>FEDAL FOREVER!

  Funfact: Roger&apos;s BH ground stroke speed was greater than his forehand groundstroke in this match.. Incredible

  Even watching this game 7 years later knowing the outcome, I still tense up on every point. One of the happiest day of my life.

  The way Roger completely reinvented his game in 2017 at the age of 35 is astonishing. Overall, his ability to effortlessly hit winners and hit THROUGH the court AFTER the ATP slowed all the courts down is simply out of this world.

  I come back here when I&apos;m sad. Those final 5-6 games were truly going to be the most joyous tennis memory for a long time.

  I must have seen the last set 20 times since the match. I can&apos;t think of any 5th set in a slam that matched the sheer brilliance and emotional tension of this one. Rafa did not lose it; Roger had to raise his level to incredible heights to rip it away from him.
