I see a rivalry as not having a pretty sure bet on who's going to win when the same two players continually meet each other. If Roger and Rafael meet each other in the final of the next tournament they both play in, I don't think anyone can say beyond a reasonable doubt which one will be victorious. Rafa might have the last several matches, but would it surprise anyone if Roger won the next one?

In contrast, if it's Roger/Andy, it's a pretty good bet who's going to win that match-up. So, in my opinion...

Roger/Rafa = rivalry
Roger/Andy = not so much.
