Sweet 16 for Rafa in an unpredictable year for normally a predictable sport. 2 Majors each for Rafa and Federer. Who would have guessed a year ago?
With Rafa playing at this level, and 5 years younger than Federer, will he reach 20 or more? Time will tell...
Go look up some of the finals opponents for Federer in his early years. Federer is tr GOAT but every one of those titles counts and he's had quite a few really weak opponents.

but other than Delpo who did he beat to get there? Its an asterisk for me

Agreed. You can only play who's on the other side of the court. And Nadal has beaten the best on many occasions. Great win for him.
