Rafael Nadal Puts Nostalgic Roger Federer Memories Aside With His ‘Enjoying the Good Time’ Statement

The rivalry between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer is considered one of the greatest rivalry in the history of the sport. They have met each other 40 times in their career, where the Spaniard led the H2H with a 24-16 margin. Both of them have won a total of 42 Grand Slam titles. But gone are the days, Rafael Nadal is now insisting on staying in the present with Roger Federer instead of diving into nostalgia.

Recently, social media got hit by the ‘Fedal’ storm as Roger Federer paid a visit to the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy in Mallorca. They posed for a picture together at the venue and here are the recent developments surrounding that incident.

Thanks for the visit and hope to see you again very soon,” in his caption on Instagram.

The US Open page reposted Nadal’s post with the caption, “Remembering the good times.” Rafael Nadal then responded to the post by commenting, “Not remembering, enjoying the good time today.”

Earlier this month Rafael Nadal revealed that Roger Federer is the player who has left the greatest impression on him. Their bond on and off the court is still celebrated by many in the tennis world.
