The Battle of the Surfaces- Rafael Nadal v Roger Federer

The Swiss player, however, upped the tempo in the second set by breaking Nadal's serve. He found the required rhythm from both sides of the court. He took more baseline rallies & produced some beautiful backhand shots. He was at the top of his game the whole set & held on to win the second set by 6-4 to level the match.

Fun Fact: In the game, players are allowed a 90-second rest between the end changes called Changeover. For this special match, they were extended to 2 full minutes so each player has enough time to change his shoes for each surface.
