Rafa is BOTH Fed's AND Nole's Greatest Rival.

[TahoeTennis]

Which is pretty epic in itself as he has made them both greater and vice versa. Vamos Trivalry Fedalovic united. War is over.....?
War is on Sunday!

Big 3 vs scrubs.
If they aren't hopelessly out of form they are guaranteed to meet each other.

Nadal was a rival for Fed at the French and elsewhere for 2 years.

Novak/Nadal is the true rivalry however since 2011 Novak is 2-0 at WMB, could be 2-0 at AO and tied 1-1 at USO though. Nadal kept losing at WMB and USO not allowing Novak to make it worse though.

Actually the Nadal Federer rivalry is GOAT-like and started the new age of tennis we are witnessing, with the Novak Rafa rivalry raging onward to Sunday.

If Joe wins the final, it's less of a rivalry, and more of a lopsided H2H. The Big 4 has been wittled down to the Big 3, Fed is hanging on by a thread, but Joe is the boogeyman in every Fedal fans' closet as he's the man most likely to end up as simply the Big 1.

Nadal and Djokovic are BOTH Federer's greatest rivals.

 

[Lew II]

But Nole is also Mury's best rival

Obviously Fedal started it all and gets all the headlines because it's more interesting, but there's a case to be made that Novak is actually the greatest rival of both.

It's not the case I'd make, but there's definitely an argument.

Joe leads both in H2H's and even leads Nadal on *clay* (most losses coming at RG however).

Joe has made them both his lackey since 2011 with a few brief hiccups along the way.

 

[HashDump]

If we count all matches Federer tanked than he is the greatest rival to Djokovic and Nadal.

And yet will eventually be third at goating behind both of them...
