The tennis world has witnessed many epic battles between the two. This includes three consecutive Wimbledon finals since 2006. Despite winning the first two Federers, Nadal kissed the title in 2006, his first title here.
Federer played in the junior Wimbledon in 1998. Debut in his senior tournament the following year. Since then, Wimbledon has rolled on the field, but the Swiss star has never been seen (the 2020 event was canceled due to Covid). He is the record eight-time champion here, including five consecutive times since 2003.
Federer, 40, will miss the tournament due to a knee injury. Earlier this year, Nadal won the Australian Open and the French Open, taking the record for most Grand Slam wins to 22. The 36-year-old star is running towards a career grand slam.
Wimbledon, which starts on Monday in Federer's absence, will naturally lose some color. Nadal is also missing out on winning 20 Grand Slams. He also thinks that it would not have been possible for him to achieve so much without a rival like Federer.

“I think in one way or another, we inspire each other. I’ve always wanted to think my motivation never comes because of others, it comes from myself. Of course, having a competitor like him helps you to know that you need to do better. ”
Nadal's performance at this year's Wimbledon was feared due to a foot injury. He played in the French Open with this injury. Every match there he played with painkiller injections. Now of course there is no pain. However, Nadal does not know how long he will be able to stay like this.
“I can’t say I’ll be in this positive moment for a week, two days or three months. Of course, the treatment I took did not completely heal my injury, but it can alleviate some of the pain. That is the goal. "
Nadal will start his Wimbledon campaign next Tuesday with a match against Argentina's debutant Francisco Serundolo.
