Tomorrow Nadal take on Roger Federer for the 40th time in their career and he boasts a winning 24-15 record plus he beat Federer the last time they played on grass in that epic final of 2008.

This year it’s hard to predict a winner as both players seem to be in full fitness and playing at the peak of their game.
