Most probably don't care, but Thursday night at 10 pm est on Tennis channel, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal square off for the 29th time in their epic rivalry.
They meet in the quarterfinals of the early season tourney in Indian Wells, California.
Both are hurt and not playing especially well, but still, it is Rafa v. Rahjah, which is undoubtedly one of the greatest rivalries in sports history.
One or both won't be around much longer, so it's a treat anytime these two match up against each other.
This is on a hard court, so Federer should have the upper hand. However, it is a slow court that allows the ball to bounce quite high according to Murray. That plays into Nadal's gameplan against Federer.
This match means little to the history of the rivalry, but you gotta enjoy these two while they are still around. I mean how much would you pay to see Bird v. Magic one more time back in their heyday.
