Will be a sad day for the sport once Nadal & Federer walk away from the game. Always has been a pleasure to watch these giants go at it! 🎾

In a time of all-time greats - Bolt, Woods, Messi, McCaw - Federer is surely top of the sporting tree @rogerfederer

Wonder if Federer gets the same satisfaction beating Nadal so easily now that he would have had at the height of their rivalry. 💭

Roger Federer's mid 30s career success is everything Tiger Woods supporters hoped for. And likelihood of doing it in tennis is far lower. pic.twitter.com/Y7dPzpZPUf

Incredible that Nadal has had to change his strategy to "hit to Federer's forehand"

Australian Open ✔️ Indian Wells ✔️ Miami Open ✔️ Roger Federer GOAT ✔️

Federer breaks Nadal with a great backhand and will serve for his fourth straight win over Rafa.

Seriously, what parallel universe is this?
— Ben Rothenberg (@BenRothenberg) April 2, 2017

The head-to-head (23-14) is still ridiculous, but how Federer has clawed it back against Nadal! 4-0 on the trot now.
— Sambit Bal (@sambitbal) April 2, 2017

Federer 19-1 this year, 1 Grand Slam, title in Indian Wells, title in Miami, three wins against Nadal. Just as predicted by no one. Amazing.

"For me the dream continues," he says.

For us too, Roger. For us too.#MiamiOpen #Federer

It's not my decision and YES IT'S JUST APRIL: But, hell, I'm ready to give Roger Federer the SI Sportsman of the Year for 2017.
— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) April 2, 2017

Amazing start to the year by Roger Federer. Rafa is right there with him but it's all about RF at the moment. Stunning hardcourt swing. 👏🏼 pic.twitter.com/vC2FqpExqV

Cant find the right word to express the level Roger Federer has at the moment. Congrats to him and his team #MiamiOpen
— Magnus Norman (@normansweden) April 2, 2017

Federer doesn't play any clay court events, turns up in Paris, wins Roland Garros, then Wimbledon, then US Open, then retires.

2017.
