MELBOURNE: Roger Federer barely broke sweat to reach the semi-final Australian Open, the production of some of his best tennis at the age of 30 years. Then he ran into Rafael Nadal - again.
The Swiss do not drop a set to reach the last four, distributing shooting lessons sumptuous decision to the distinguished Argentine Juan Martin del Potro and rising Australian teenager Bernard Tomic along the way.
But despite a dazzling start to his semi-final with Nadal, he was a familiar story when the 16 Grand Slam crashed in four sets, making 63 unforced errors with five double faults.
On the record against his nemesis Federer Grand Slam makes sombre reading. He now trails the Spaniard 8-2 in majors and do not fight him on the biggest stage since Wimbledon in 2007.
In meetings throughout the world number one Swiss three paths now 18-9 and has made some significant victories, including the ATP last year's World Tour Finals in London, but it's Nadal wins the games that matter most.
Federer, who won the Australian Open four times, insists the two Spanish world number one does not fit into his head, although he said Nadal, 25, finds a way to elevate his game when they meet.
"We had some good matches over the years. I see him play. The crowd really gets into it, which is nice. We have great respect for each other, which is good, too, I think, "said Federer.
"We also play well against each other. I still think it plays a little better against me than against other players, but it's good for him. "
And Federer, not entirely convincing, insists the record head-to-head does not bother him.
A look at his record against rivals other is revealing. He had the top eight times in 11 games with Andre Agassi. He leads the global Novak Djokovic 14-10. His record is 21-2 against Andy Roddick.
But Federer has never come from behind to win a Grand Slam match against Nadal and match Thursday on Rod Laver Arena following a predictable pattern, with exquisite break Federer play against the relentless Nadal.
Significantly, Nadal said the format best-of-five games in the Grand Slam made him "more calm" as he knows he will have time to work on his back in a game.
"When you play in, when you play best of three, he plays aggressive. It is very difficult to come back when it starts like this, "said Nadal, who took only three games off Federer in the ATP World Tour Finals.
And the Spaniard rejected the theory that Federer saved his best for his great rival.
"I have not played my best tennis because Roger is facing. I play my best tennis because I'm ready to play my best tennis, "he said.
Federer, who came to Australia after finishing 2011 on a streak of 17 straight games, was measured after its latest loss to Nadal, saying he hoped to have many more chances to win the title in Melbourne.
