Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal By Sebastián Fest

Since 2004, two names have defined men's tennis: Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Each is a legend in his own right, and together they created one of the greatest rivalries in sports history.

Spain's Nadal captured sixteen Grand Slam titles, including five consecutive French Open singles titles from 2010-2014. He is also the only player ever to win a Grand Slam for ten straight years. Switzerland's Federer spent over three hundred weeks ranked number one in the world and earned twenty Grand Slam titles and two Olympic medals.

Yet neither champion's career would have been nearly as successful without the other. Their decade-long rivalry pushed both men to the peak of tennis excellence. Nadal and Federer met thirty-eight times over the course of their careers, and they shared the distinction of being ranked the two best players in the world for an astounding six years in a row, from 2005-2009.
