Fedal rivalry: Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal record

The rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal is widely considered to be one of the fiercest rivalries of the sporting world. Nicknamed the 'Fedal' rivalry, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have won a total of 39 Grand Slam titles between them, out of the 68 that have taken place in the last 17 years.

Federer has won 20 Grand Slam titles, while Rafael Nadal has won 19 Grand Slam titles. Federer also holds the record of lifting the Wimbledon title eight times, while Rafael Nadal holds the same record at Roland Garros, winning the tournament 12 times. In the Fedal rivalry, the 2008 Wimbledon final is considered as the greatest match ever as it took 4 hours and 48 minutes for the match to get over and had its ups and downs in a thrilling 5-setter as Federer was beaten on the SW-19 grass for the first time in 4 years. The match, at that point, was the longest single's final at Wimbledon in terms of time.
