 "Wimbledon 2019: 'May they both play another decade', Twitter prays for Roger Federer-Rafael Nadal rivalry to continue")
Roger Federer will play for a record-extending ninth Wimbledon title in his 12 final at the All England Club after beating Rafael Nadal 7-6 (3), 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Centre Court. The 20-time Grand Slam singles champion will face Novak Djokovic for the title on Sunday. Federer’s serve served him well against his Spanish rival, who won their last meeting at Wimbledon in the 2008 final — taking the epic fifth set 9-7 as darkness descended. The Swiss great finished with 14 aces this time and landed 69 percent of his first serves.

The greatest tennis match I’ve ever watched was between Federer and Nadal; the #Wimbledon final in 2008. It’s incredible to think that 11 years on the same two blokes can still serve up something as spectacular as that. Not just tennis, but sporting phenomenons. Both of them

We are lucky to witness this
Another victory for Federer over his arch-rival Nadal only consolidated his position as the ‘GOAT’ and the same dominated the conversation on the social media.
Sorry Rafa... clay belongs to you but the grass is greener on Federer’s side .. G.O.A.T #KingFed #Fedal
