Nice video of them two playing together.

You can't avoid thinking how they would team up in doubles against the best doubles players.

Would they stand a chance against the Bryans brothers? Cause playing doubles is different than singles, its alot about tactics, strategys and the bryans are used to playing it.

How many slams would they get in lets say, three years?

Bryans would beat them comfortably.
Completely different game IMO

Well thats a bit over exaggeration. Surely the bryans are wiser tactically and knows everything about playing doubles but lets not forget the quality of fed and rafa. Federer is a very good doubles player too.

They should team up and play some tournament seriously, maybe Indian Wells? It would be great for the fans. At least Nadal and Djokovic have played together once.

Not if Nadal and Federer had time to get used to playing doubles together.

Don't think so.

Yup, pretty much. Bryans will dominate Fedal for the first year or so, after which Fedal will overpower them. It's only a matter of gelling well and spending time together on court. That's if they can keep their ego as to who is the better player aside.

Well, Federer and Warwrinka did beat the Bryan brothers at the 2008 Olympics en route to the gold medal. And Nadal is no pushover in doubles. In fact, he's beaten some of the top doubles players in the world, like Nesto/Zimonjic and Paes/Stepanek.

If Federer and Nadal were given enough time to adjust, that would probably change. Besides, Federer has already beaten them once.

The Bryan Bros lose to lesser singles players than Fedal. I don't think Fedal will have any problems putting them away. The Bryans only squeezed passed Dodig and partner at the WTF on Sunday and Verdasco and partner won the WTF with the Bryan Bros in the draw last year.
