#1 Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal

A final that every tennis fan would love to watch

When it can happen - Final

If this match were to happen, it would definitely have the whole world watching. It goes without saying that their rivalry is definitely the best one that the sport has ever witnessed. And with this Grand Slam being played on hard courts, it takes away the advantage that Federer and Nadal have on grass courts and clay courts, respectively, making it a more or less even contest.

The Spaniard has just a slight edge in their head to head record on hard courts, leading 9-7.

When Federer was named the 17th seed before the tournament, there were concerns that these two could meet each other as early as the 3rd round. But now that they have been drawn in different halves, they cannot meet each other before the 29th of January. And what a start to the 2017 season that would be!
