2012 was absolutely peak big 4. Gotta respect Novak for beating not only this beast version of Rafa but doing it after an absolute slog against Murray.

Back at the time when Federer could not beat Nadal in Grand Slam whatever the surface.

Good Lord were the courts slow that year.

@maxivic1584 I know, right?! I actually liked the Australian Open more when it was slower.

[@vijayendranvijay4538]

Courts played as slow as clay courts and thats why u see rafa easily chasing balls that were supposed to be winners...AO 2017 was completely different where the courts aided Roger's aggressive game

[@messithegoat9636]

This version of Nadal is gonna demolish Federer at AO 2017. In 2017 AO Nadal was making a comeback after his 2 year down phase due to injury.

​@@messithegoat9636how idiotic? Roger was 35 and he was also coming back from injury...watch some tennis man pls😂😂😂....okay but why he didnt he beat roger after AO 2017? Was he still coming back from injury?😂😂😂😂😂

@@vijayendranvijay4538 Nadal literally defeated Federer at AO 2009 final ,AO 2012 semi and 2014 AO semi when Federer was in much better player than his 2017 version.

Great highlights , Nadal won this match and would go to the final against Novak where he would lose it making it 7 finals lost in a row to Novak !!!!

@ValentinG23 Thanks! It was a crazy streak Novak had over Rafa, and a couple of those were on clay! Hope to post the final in good quality at some point.
