for the past few days, i was hooked to the tournament, knowing for a fact (well according to the press) that roger federer is out to grab the title from rafael nadal.  this is the only major tournament that the swiss pro has never won.  a great match in the finals in deed, as the world’s highest rank tennis pros are battling it out for the cup.  but nadal is truly the master of the clay surface.  federer, seeded 1st, made a couple of unforced errors  early in the game. eventually, the second seeded spaniard again took the cup for the third consecutive year, putting him on the records as one of the seven tennis legends who won the french open (now roland garros cup) three times, although a long way still to grab the record from bjorn borg who won the title six times in the 1970’s.

i may be biased because i am a huge federer fan, but i have to give it to nadal,  he is truly unbeatable on clay. it’s 1-1, federer having won the australian open this year, so we will need to look out for the US open and wimbledon this year.  the fiesty nadal versus the serene federer, what a delight to watch this two play. there’s always next year for federer, i hope he will win the french open even just once before he retire.
