If you like nostalgia, the 2017 Australian Open is for you.

Rafael Nadal beat Grigor Dimitrov in a five-set thriller Friday to set up a final match against Roger Federer on Sunday.

It will mark the ninth time the two greats have squared off in a final of a grand slam tournament but the first since 2011.

A historic women’s final was already set as Serena Williams will face sister Venus in the first “all-Williams” grand slam final since 2009.
