Iconic Moments: Federer vs Nadal - Australian Open Final, 2009
For Federer, this match was about something more than just revenge (following the pairs 2008 Wimbledon encounter). This was Federer versus history. He was one major title away from equaling Pete Sampras's all-time record of 14 Grand Slam singles titles, a milestone in the men's game that he'd reached far faster than his predecessor.
For Nadal, this was the chance to win a first hardcourt major, a chance to get three-quarters of the way to a Career Slam at only 22 years old, quicker than Federer. Winning the match would surely cement his reputation as the best in the world.
