to tennis, very few rivalries come close to the one between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. In March this year, Nadal's uncle and former coach Toni Nadal compared their longtime rivalry with the one between football icons Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Toni weighed in on the two rivalries in a radio interview with Super Deportivo.

"The rivalry between Nadal and Federer is comparable to Messi and Ronaldo in terms of how they have endured over time," Toni Nadal said.

However, Rafael's uncle pointed out a major difference between the two rivalries. According to him, the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry has a bigger gap than the Federer-Nadal one. He opined that Rafael Nadal could do everything Roger Federer did, but Cristiano Ronaldo "cannot do everything that Messi does."

"Between Messi and Cristiano, there is a greater difference than between Nadal and Federer, and the other difference is that Rafael can do all the things Federer can do, whereas Ronaldo cannot do everything that Messi does," he added.

Rafael Nadal leads the head-to-head matchup against former player Roger Federer. In their 40 meetings on the ATP Tour, the Spaniard won 24 times compared to the Swiss' 16 victories.
