Time on court: Rafa 4 hours 12 minutes, Roger 3 hours, 34 minutes. It's too bad Rafa will probably retire before there's a full time shot clock. And this shows just badly one is needed.

Yes Rafa takes longer between points but if they aren't calling it it's not a violation. Plus his rallies are also longer, he never has a 60 second service game like Fed. Rafa's entire career is built on the fact he's the fittest man on the planet. When you play Rafa you better strap in for a war because he will grind you to dust.
The Rafa and Roger rivalry is probably the best of all time in all sports. I may be too young but I don't remember a time when the two greatest players of all time in a sport constantly went head to head. And not just that but the contrasting styles of play and player. Rafa is a beast and you could replace his tennis racquet with a club. He represents the new generation of athletes. One where off court training is just as important as on court training. Hes got the body of Superman. He is without a doubt the 2nd greatest tennis player of all time.
Roger is a throw back to a simpler time for Tennis and sports. He is so classy and elegant on and off the court. Instead of a racquet he should have a conductors wand. He uses his brain to dissect his opponents and is still the greatest tennis player of all time. Respect the hell out of his , that said I want him and Novak to lose so Rafa can win another Aussie Open.
