Federer, Nadal To Contest 20th Final

Federer, Nadal To Contest 20th Final

The final on Sunday at the Internazionali BNL D’Italia showcases the 30th meeting between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. It is their first meeting in a final since Nadal won Roland Garros in 2011 and is their 20th overall meeting in a final.

Federer has not dropped a set this week while Nadal has lost two.

This is their second meeting in a Rome final. They battled in an epic five-setter in 2006 as Nadal prevailed in a final set tie-break. Nadal leads their overall head-to-head, 19-10; including 13-6 in finals.

Six-time Rome champion Nadal booked his place in his eighth successive final this season after dominating Tomas Berdych 6-2, 6-4.

Federer’s semifinal was against French upstart Benoit Paire, who had accounted for Marcel Granollers and Juan Martin Del Potro on his way to an unexpected place in the last four.
