Tennis Channel Has Rafa-Fed Tonight

They haven’t played in a while, but they are tonight at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, CA. Yes, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer meet for the 29th time in their storied careers. It’s only the second time they’ve ever played before a semifinal. Rafa and Fed will play in the quarters of the men’s draw of the tournament. So if you’re basketballed out, some tennis might give you a nice respite.

It’s scheduled to air at 10 p.m. ET on Tennis Channel.

Tennis ChannelTonight (March 14) on Tennis Channel, Roger Federer will take on Rafael Nadal in the BPN Paribas Open LIVE on Tennis Channel at 10 pm ET.

Although it is the 29th time these two legends have played, this Quarterfinal match-up is just their second match played prior to a Semifinal.  The only other time was their first match in Miami in the Round of 32 with Nadal winning 6-3, 6-3.

That is all. Short and sweet here.
