Australian Open 2018

He doesn't say Nadal is better mind you.

The fact Federer went 4-0 against Nadal in 2017, at age 36 says it all to me.

I still think Federer cost himself a good few slams (which largely went Nadal's way) by steadfastly refusing to change to a bigger racquet head sooner.

He was playing with the equivalent of a wooden racquet for years. i think it was only 2012 when he finally moved to the bigger head.

So for the best part of a decade, Nadal had been using 100sqi versus Fed's 90sqi.

More control with the smaller bat granted (arguably), but a major reduction in power.

The change occurred in 2014 apparently.
