By far one of the best Rafa Nadal's performances on hard ! Roger played a great match and great tournament but Rafa was at his very best. So many passing shots from him in this meeting, and incredible rallies from both players. This Fedal is so underated because it's "only" a 4 sets match in the semis (not 5, not a final) and because the final against Djokovic two days later was one of the best tennis matches of all time.

2012 Australian Open is still the best tournament Rafa has ever played where he didn't ultimately win. Those wins over Berdych and Federer, and the narrow loss in the final, were all extraordinary matches.

Even tho he lost, it's amazing how consistent Fed has been throughout his AO career. Besides 2015 and 2019, has either been the semis, finals or champion.

Rafa played at a very high level in AO throughout the years, it's a shame that he only won it twice..

[@joeytheant6731]

It's kinda interesting how Nadal generally dominated prime-Federer but later on in their careers, Federer made a comeback winning 6 out of their 7 last matches. People don't realize that at one point in time, it was 23-10 in favor of Nadal and only then did it become sort of close with 24-16

[@utkarshdeshmukh6414]

As usual, Roger's failure to convert break points cost him the match. Same story against Rafa every time!

[@rm1507]

Back when mens tennis was at its prime. Now we get pathetic match-ups such as Tsitsipas vs Khachanov in AO semis 😥

[@fg92626]

The 🐐waited for his victim in the finals patiently. This time Nadal.

[@utkarshdeshmukh6414]

People saying Federer played very well. But the reality is that he was good in patches. Made some really poor errors whether forehands, volleys or double faults!

[@celestialspartan7977]

Days when Federer used to give up, mentally, against Rafa and Djokovic,pretty early.

[@sakuraguix9975]

nadal was never weak at AO and Wimbledon naaaaaah, roger and novak was beasts there. Vamos Rafa.

[@NicolasESB]

2012 was an amazing year for Tennis, The Big 4 won each GS that year.

[@lesniperflou1950]

By wanting to cut the breaks at every 3 games and at the end of each set you cut the service game of Federer at 5-4 in the 3rd set, we're on youtube guys if we want to skip the breaks we just have to press the move forward button you don't need to cut anyhting for god sake. Try to think about it next time thanks.

[@greatestsportslegends]

They BOTh look pretty good. Hitting hard, accurate angles. Nadal's lob looks top shelf. Both moving nicely.

[@ferneyyepesardila]

There have been billions and humans to exist and these are two of the best three players to ever hold a racket with two of them in this tournament in there prime.
