Yes, for the first time, you can see a match up between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in Davis Cup 2010 as Switzerland and Spain have been drawn together meaning they would face each other in their tournament opener next year. Federer-Nadal rivalry has already part of tennis folklore as the two have presented some of the most memorable matches of modern tennis. However, the two arch rivals did not face each other in Davis Cup yet and it seems that there is every possibility it could happen next year.
The problem is that Federer does not play in Davis Cup very often, even though the record 15 grand slam singles winner has earned 2 points for his country during Switzerland’s 3-2 win over Italy in the play-off. Nadal, on the other hand, generally does not miss Davis Cup matches, but the injury pronged player very often misses out Davis Cup matches due to injury. For example, Nadal was absent during Spain’s victory over Argentina in last year’s Davis Cup final. Now, let us see if tennis fans can get to watch a match between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in 2010 Davis Cup.
Roger Federer and Lleyton Hewitt are going to face each other in the third round match of the ongoing US Open 2009 tournament. Both the players met each other on 22 occasions on the court and this would be their 23rd meeting. However, this is going to be the first time they will be meeting each other as fathers. Federer became a father of twin-girls just about a month ago. Hewitt is also a father of two.
Though both of them are fierce rivals on the court, they have a very friendly relationship off the court. Hewitt defeated Federer in all of their first seven matches, but since then Hewitt could not win any more game against the Swiss star. Now, let us see if Federer can continue his winning run against Hewitt as a father too.
