Top 5 five setters which Roger Federer won

Roger Federer v Rafael Nadal (Australian Open 2017, Final)

Federer scripted a fairytale comeback by winning the Australian Open in 2017

As the years progressed and age kept crippling the progress of Federer as he suffered a five-year Grand Slam drought. In 2016, when he took an injury layoff, many had begun scribbling his career obituary. Nadal too was unable to find his top form.

At such times, the 2017 Australian Open came around and the duo reappeared across the nets to rekindle their old rivalry. In a much awaited final clash which felt like the old times, Rafael Nadal took on Roger Federer and what a breathtaking final it was.

The drama and the excitement and the raw emotions displayed in the course of the match make it a clear favourite as Federer managed to demolish Nadal in 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 to win his 18th Major and sixth Australian Open title.
