NASDAQ-100 Open round of 32, April 2004 - Nadal wins in two sets
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have met 20 times on the ATP Tour. Nadal leads the series 13-7. Here's a look at each of their matches.

Nadal's defeat of Federer in Key Biscayne, Fla., in their first meeting -- on hard courts, with Federer not far removed from winning the '04 Australian Open -- marked the young Spaniard's star turn. In retrospect, this was the match that transformed him from a talented teenager to a bona fide top player.
