Rafael Nadal once again proved Roger Federer's grand slam nemesis on Thursday, withstanding a blistering opening from the Swiss great to reach the final of the Australian Open.
The Spaniard won 6-7 (5/7), 6-2, 7-6 (7/5), 6-4 to prolong the agony for his greatest rival, who has now lost eight times to the Spaniard in 10 grand slam meetings and not beaten him in the majors since Wimbledon 2007.
