Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal, 2017 Australian Open: Time, TV schedule, and live stream for men’s final

For the 35th time in their long and storied careers, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will play each other. And for the 22nd time in their careers, they will be facing off in a final, this time at the 2017 Australian Open.

Federer and Nadal will meet on Sunday evening in Melbourne, which works out to very early in the morning in the United States. The match will be broadcast on ESPN and will begin at 3 a.m. ET. A live stream will be available online via WatchESPN.

Both players are getting up there in years, and both players were heavily hampered by injuries in 2016. They fell out of the so-called “Big Four,” and were soundly passed by both Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic, the top two seeds in Melbourne.

But both Nadal and Federer have looked great throughout the year’s first Grand Slam, and despite being the ninth and 17th seeds respectively, they are set to fight for the championship. They are indisputably two of the greatest tennis players ever, and one of them will add another title to his legacy on Sunday.

Nadal hasn’t won a Grand Slam since 2014 when he was victorious in the French Open. He has won the Australian Open just once before, in 2009. That year, he happened to play ... Federer in the final. Federer has won the Australian Open four times, the last being in 2010. His last Grand Slam win overall came in 2012.

As a rivalry, things are slanted in favor of Nadal. He leads the head-to-head at 23-11 and at 14-7 in finals matches. In Grand Slam matches, he’s 9-2 against Federer, including 3-0 at the Australian Open. He is also 6-2 against Federer in Grand Slam finals.

Nadal has mostly dominated Federer on the clay courts, holding a 13-2 record. On hard courts, like the one in Melbourne, Nadal leads, 9-7.

The mixed doubles final will also be on Sunday and will be streamed via WatchESPN. Below is all you need to watch the men’s final on Sunday.
