Rafa, the gladiator



Rafa fought like a gladiator against Berdych. Nadal eliminated No. 7 ATP, Tomas Berdych after a great fight. Nadal lost in this quarterfinal his first set at this Australian Open, but he managed to advance in semifinals after 4 hours and 16 minutes (6-7, 7-6, 6-4, 6-3).

Tough match, but everyone expected that, including Rafa. The start was a little bit slow, when Rafa lost at tie-break his first set at this Grand Slam. After this first set, the match was more balanced and in the end Rafa was unstoppable showing a great form, physically speaking.

In semifinals, it will be a classic, beacuse Rafa will play against Roger Federer. The match of all macthes.

In 2011 Rafa and Roger played 4 matches and the score is 3-1 for Rafa. Nadal lost at Barclays ATP Tour Finals in London (6-3, 6-0) and won in Florida at ATP World Tour Masters Miami (6-3, 6-2), in Madrid (5-7, 6-1, 6-3) and at Roland Garros in the last act (7-5, 7-6, 5-7, 6-1).

The overall score between Rafa and Federer is 17-9 for Rafa.
