Rivalry and war of words is playing at the Australian Open between two tennis icons Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, over the timing of their matches. Nadal has hinted that Federer has been slotted for night matches and as a consequence he feels that the Swiss has more advantage of playing in cool weather, as he battles in the scorching heat during the day.

While being interviewed by UK-based media house, the Spaniard admitted that Federer has more leverage and that makes the whole arrangement ‘unfair for the rest of the competition.’
