Rafael Nadal revealed on Tuesday in Cincinnati that his rivalry with Federer has yielded some of the most celebrated moments of his career.

Rafa on Fedal:
I think matches against Roger have always had special feelings. We played all of the important matches in our careers, and the combination of styles makes the match-up interesting. One player finding one thing, another one trying to find solutions to not let him play as he was. And it’s a little bit more of a strategic match. And playing for big titles, that match-up made me feel very special every time.
