No. Roger didn't play Andy in Wimby 2006. They faced each other in the Wimby '04 final and Roddick was playing out of his mind, ala USO '03. Federer played beautifully that day and went on to win in 4 very competitive sets. Great game, very underrated. The '08 final was way more dramatic, but in terms of pure level of play, I don't think it came close to matching that '04 final.

I think what you have to take into account too, though, is that Andy's game is perfect for Federer. With Nadal's game, it isn't always going to draw out the best in Roger like Andy's game does.

Anyway, I'd say that Nadal-Federer is, indeed, a rivalry. Like Kirkus said earlier, Nadal isn't a "lock" to win the next time they meet.....

unless it's on clay.
