Rafael Nadal took five sets and almost five hours to fend off ”Baby Fed” and revive a classic Grand Slam final against the one-and-only Roger Federer. The Roger-Rafa final will be Sunday – their first meeting in an Australian Open title match since Nadal won in 2009. ”I feel that this rivalry is talked about outside the tennis world, and that is good for our sport,” Nadal said of his ninth Grand Slam final against the 17-time major champion.
