Rafael Nadal v Roger Federer Condensed Match | Australian Open 2014 Semifinal

I'm going, going, I don't know. Pretty much a stress-free opening from both players. Early trouble. 140. Down low, 30. Completely untroubled on serves. No, that's brilliant. Just brilliant. And now he's got a problem. A wild one from Rapha. And that is a very significant hole from Federer. Oh, that's magnificent defence from Nadal. It was Federer who was calling the tune. Good stuff from Federer. The best form of defence is attack. Nadal is going to be frustrated. 40-30. Serve and volley again. Pays dividends. 40-30. A whimper rather than a bang, but what a rally. That was an outstanding return of serve by the champion. Go, go, Nadal. He's stepping it up a notch here. Good serve. And the second little hitter. Very nice. And once more, he gives Nadal the off-pace serve. It's too good. Well, that's five. No, that's never going to get the job done. I think he's wasted one here. Maybe just to try and change the momentum a little bit. Oh, got it. There's no confidence about Roger's challenge, but there never is. That's just incredible. Roger. That's phenomenal. That is unbelievable. Oh, got him. That finally cracked the wall. It's taken a long time. Crowd just loving every minute of this. Oh, yes. Go, go, the second set. Oh, that was just... When you're having that sort of night, that sort of thing will happen to you. Not even he could whip that one around. Missed it. He's furious, Nadal. It's just fantastic, isn't it? And he's not going to sit back and die wondering. Case in point, the frustration on one side of the net. Perfect. There were two goals in that rally that he had really no right to get back. Oh, my goodness. Keeps on raising it to another level. On Sunday night, Rafael Nadal has a shot at joining Pete Sampras' 14 Grand Slam titles. The two greats. He's as comprehensive as Nadal has ever been on the federal.
