When they both play against each other, it is hard to find out who is overwhelming the other as they keep chasing each other. Federer and Nadal never let each other take a lead on each other. Their rivalry is one of the best rivalries that the history of tennis has witnessed after Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall.
From 2005-2008, Nadal alone kept down Federer’s reality success, shielding him at Roland Garros as though it were the last bit of area on Earth. Their competition topped at Wimbledon, 2007-2008, and ever since then, they have been the best ‘frenemies’, which are actually friends and rivals at the same time. Federer, for every one of his awards as the best player ever, never could settle Nadal’s substantial topspin and calculated passing shots.

Federer was always quick on his feet and never gave up to collect any type of ball hit at him. He is famous for his insane shots that he makes after running back from the net towards a ball hit behind him and shooting it from underneath his legs towards the blind spot in the enemy area. It is not luck that sides him but his hard work and determination. He has won the Best Male Tennis Player for the years 2017, 2018, and 2019 consecutively.

Nadal has won the same awards for the years 2014 and 2011. He is one of the most powerful tennis players and is skilled with returning a top-spin tennis ball that many find hard to return. Even so, Federer has still managed to overpower him in some of the many encounters they have had.
