Nadal and Federer roads to the Australian Open 2017 final
Who would have thought we would see these two immense champions face each other in a Grand Slam final again?
Rafael Nadal’s road to the final
I never dreamed to be back in the final of the Australian Open. It’s a very special thing for both of us to be playing again in a major final. Neither of us probably thought we would be here again.
