Nadal and Federer

Nadal is a lefty
So is McEnroe
Like Connors and Rod Laver
A long time ago
Nadal hits with topspin
And swings with all his might
Nadal hits from the left side
Federer from the right

Federer is a throwback
Classical form
His backhand is one handed
Two hands is now the norm
Nadal’s topspin forehand
For Federer is a nightmare
Nadal hits from the left side
Federer from the right

Federer, he’s classy
With his perfect hair and sweater
But if his backhand was two handed
Maybe he’d do better
Why does Roger lose to Rafa?
Well, just take a gander
Nadal hits loopy forehands
To Federer’s one hander

When Roger wins, he says
“It’s a great feeling.”
When he loses, Roger cries
When Rafa wins, he says
“I am very happy”
And kisses his prize
Djokovic and Murray
Are sure to bring a fight
Nadal hits from the left side
Federer from the right

Nadal hits from the left side
Federer from the right
Nadal hits from the left side
Federer from the right
