Rafael Nadal's Nike Air Max Breathe Cage issued shoes. This special
made to measure shoes were prepared for Rafael Nadal's Australian
Open 2009 day session. The 2009 men's tournament is considered to be one of the best Grand Slam tournaments in open era history. It is
remembered for containing many of the best matches of the 2009 year, including the Nadal v Verdasco semi final and the Nadal v Federer final. It is noteworthy for being the first hard court Grand Slam in which Nadal made the final or won. ak Djokovic was the defending champion, but retired due to heat stress trailing two sets
to one in the quarterfinals against Andy Roddick. Rafael Nadal won
in the final, 7–5, 3–6, 7–6(3), 3–6, 6–2, against Roger Federer.
