Nadal, Drained, Holds His trophy

Newly crowned champ Rafael Nadal gazes at a dejected Federer during the trophy ceremony following what most tennis fans regard as the greatest tennis match in history. The rivalry between the two greats began in 2004 in the third round of the Miami Masters. A 17-year-old Nadal took that match in straight sets.
