Roger Federer makes Rafael Nadal revelation on ITV Bear Grylls show

Roger Federer has described his win over Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open final in Melbourne last year as one of the most beautiful wins of his career. “Somehow I was able to turn it around,” Federer said when asked how he clawed things back after trailing in the deciding set in the final. “It was one of the most beautiful wins in my entire career. I waited until 35 to do it. I’m still on cloud nine!”
