Watch this 26-stroke rally won by Roger Federer is one reason he won his 18th major over his longtime rival Rafael Nadal by winning a 5-set thriller. This rally occurred at a pivotal point in the match with Nadal serving 3-4 deuce (40-all) which means winning the point gave Federer a break point which would lead to him serving for the championship. Notice the way Federer is hitting his one-handed backhand flat cross-court with extreme pace and depth.
