| Flash back to 2009. That's the last time Rafael Nl and Roger Federer played in the Australian Open men's final. N won in five sets, the only time he's won the trophy in Melbourne. He would go on to eight more majors, bringing his total to 14 in his career. Nal is into the semis, whe'll play Grigor Dimitrov. Rafael Nal rolls over Milos Raonic to reach semifinals Serena Williamsvances to Australian Open semifinals Perhaps it's more surprising to see Federer reach the semis, he'll play fellow Swiss Stan Wawrinka on Thursday night (starting at 3 a.m. ET Thursday). Federer, the 17-time Grand Slam champion, took nearly six months off to deal with a knee injury. ESPN commentator John McEnroe, who won seven Grand Slam singles titles in his career, predicts Nl will beat Dimitrov in four sets and likes Federer in the other s
emi. "I would give Federer the edge on this court," McEnroe said. "Believe it or not, it's Federer vs. al, so what else is new?" McEnroe also predicts an all-Williams sisters final. He's amazed that Venus Williams has me it back to the semis for the first time in 14 years. "She's got a lot more experience in bigger matches," he said of Venus, who will play Coco Vandeweghe. "Coco is playing the best tennis I’ve ever seen (from her)." The only time the Williams sisters reached the final in Melbourne was in 2003, with Serenaning the title.
