5 players who have defeated both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in Grand Slams

#2 Tomas Berdych

Australian Open 2015 Quarterfinal – def. Rafael Nadal 6-2, 6-0, 7-6(7-5)

Nadal ran out of ideas against Berdych's gutsy display

Tomas Berdych's previous win against Nadal before this match was back in 2006. After that, Nadal won 17 consecutive matches against the Czech.

Everyone expected the same to continue in Melbourne. However, Berdych had other ideas.

He broke the Spaniard twice in the opening set and went on to win it 6-2. The second set was a masterclass from Berdych, as he became only the third player in history - after Gaston Gaudio and Federer - to bagel Nadal at a Slam.

The third set was a tight affair that went into a tie-breaker which saw Berdych race to a 5-1 lead. But Nadal fought back to make it 5-4, before a poor serve resulted in Berdych slamming a powerful return for a 6-4 lead.

At 6-5, Nadal returned a powerful serve into the net and that was game, set and match Berdych.

Wimbledon 2010 Quarterfinal – def. Roger Federer 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4

Berdych's forehand was on song as he defeated Federer in the Wimbledon quarterfinals

Their rivalry dates back to 2004, when Berdych beat Federer in round of 32 at the Athens Olympics. After that, Federer won all the encounters until 2009, but in 2010 all that was going to change.

Their last Grand Slam match before this was at the 2009 Australian Open fourth round which Federer won after coming back from two sets down.

In this match, Federer struggled from the opening game, where he was taken to a couple of deuces before finally holding serve. Berdych's real ammunition was the accuracy and power he generated from his forehand, which caused plenty of problems to Federer.

The Swiss felt the full wrath of Berdych's ammunition at 3-3 when he couldn't track down a terrific forehand passing shot. He subsequently faced another break point which Berdych converted after his powerful shot forced an error from Federer.

Federer was back in business in the second set when got an early break and held his remaining service games to win it 6-3. But in the third, Federer's serving speed slowed down a notch, and this allowed Berdych to take the ascendancy. He broke Federer in the second game with a scrumptious forehand winner and subsequently drew an error.

Berdych's precision in his shot making just kept getting better and he broke Federer again and won the third set 6-1.

In the fourth set, Berdych produced some sublime tennis under pressure. Federer had two break points leading 3-2 in the fourth set, but the Czech saved the first break point with an audacious inside-out forehand winner and then engineered a risky but marvelous drop shot to save the second.

Berdych was oozing confidence at that stage and in the following game, after multiple deuces, he got a break point. His powerful forehand drew an error from Federer, and he subsequently served for the match at 5-4. After negotiating a few deuces, he finally conquered Federer on his own turf.
