The longtime rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal — known by most tennis fans as “Fedal”— is the greatest in sports for many reasons. The most obvious being that it’s the fiercest rivalry between two of the greatest athletes of all time. The two titans of the sport have been at the top of tennis world for nearly 15 years now, a remarkable feat considering how physically demanding the sport is.
