Spain's Rafael Nadal will return to the ATP Tour at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi. The 20-time Grand Slam champion also headlines the entry list of the 2022 Australian Open. His long-time rival Roger Federer had already pulled out of the event as he hasn't recovered from his knee injury. Here, we decode their rivalry at the Australian Open.

Context
Why does it matter?
  • Federer and Nadal have clinched a total of 40 Grand Slam titles between them.
  • While Nadal is in pursuit of his second Australian Open title, the Swiss star has won this Slam six times.
  • Federer has the second-most Australian Open titles in the Open Era after the world number one, Novak Djokovic.
  • Notably, Federer and Nadal have clashed four times at the Australian Open.

Australian Open: Nadal has a 3-1 lead over Federer

Nadal has a 3-1 lead over Federer at the Australian Open. The duo has met in either semi-finals (2012 and 2014) or finals (2009 and 2017) at this Slam. Nadal won the first three encounters, while Federer downed him in 2017.

2009
Nadal won his only Australian Open title after beating Federer

Nadal won his only Australian Open title in 2009. He defeated Federer 7-5, 3-6, 7-6(3), 3-6, 6-2 in an epic finale battle. With this, the former became the first Spanish player to win the Australian Open. It was also the first hard-court Grand Slam where Nadal reached the final. Interestingly, Federer had entered the final with an 8-0 record in hard court major finals.

2012
Nadal triumphed despite Federer's fightback

Nadal maintained his dominance over Federer at the Australian Open by winning the 2012 semi-final. The former beat Federer 6-7(5), 6-2, 7-6(5), 6-4 in another thrilling encounter. Federer had saved a set point in the third set, forcing a tie-break. However, he made three unforced errors in the tie-break, thereby giving Nadal the edge. Nadal sealed the final set to storm into the finale.
