Federer-Nadal XXXIII: Nadal Beats Roger (Again) In AO Semis

As I predicted, World #1 Rafael Nadal was able to win (relatively easily) 7-6(4), 6-3, 6-3 the 33rd meeting with Roger Federer which occurred in the semifinals of the 2014 Australian Open. Nadal improved to 23-10 in their lifetime head-to-head and has now won 9 of the 11 meetings in grand slams and even in matches that are not on clay, leads the rivalry 10-8. The biggest number that explains the match up is 5: the number of years between their ages.
