It has been the summer of Roger and Rafa.
Tennis fans have been gifted two long-awaited matches between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal — at the French Open last month and at Wimbledon on Friday.
Their semifinal at the All England Club will be the 40th meeting of their careers. Nadal won No. 39, a French Open semifinal, to improve his record against Federer to 24-15. Before that match, Federer had won their previous six meetings, all on hardcourts.
