Both have won all 4 majors

Both deserve discussion around the greatest players of all time

Fed reinvented the single handed backhand

Nadal is the premier influence on juniors aged 10-15

Both will be remembered fondly decades after they retire.

Nadal proving yet again he is nothing more than a sh*t overrated doping clay court bully. Absolute joke he is even talked about in the same breath as The G.O.A.T. (Federer) in some circles.

What a load of junk. Federer got destroyed two rounds earlier by a far weaker opponent, Nadal was never likely to go well this tournament, hasn't played a top 10 player in months. Nadal is the best ever on clay but worth noting he also usually beats Federer on hard courts, and usually beats Federer in the big matches.  And I'm not even a Nadal fan!

Hasn't done a lot since the blood doping information got leaked a couple years back. Wonder why...

Three for me, and two for them.

From time to time I've had my suspicions about him and Djokovic.

Djokovic is the King of Melbourne. He should win fairly comfortably.

And yes I am proud of my wife, you wanker.

These comms are usually pretty good but lol'd when a commentator said "as Djokovic stretches his hamstrings" while he's clearly stretching a quad. Everyone knows the difference

Murray Olds on Radio Sport this morning had a great line. 

Murray has the heart the size of a peanut. Mel Gibson showed us more Scottish heart than he has. (or words to that effect)

Murray has the remarkable ability to look the best player in the world and a street bum inside 2 service games.

Pity Lendl had enough.

I think RF will have the crowd support. I'm not bothered who wins I just want some epic points and tension.
