As I write this, Nadal has just won the Roland Garros 2008 title in straight sets against Federer. A very comprehensive display of clay court tennis in which he totally dominated the final. Federer did not play well at all except some flashes of brilliance in the 2nd set. He committed too many unforced errors. Rafa on the other hand is just too consistent and hardly made any mistakes today.
Just wondering when can Roger finally win the French? Will he ever? Realistically speaking, not when the other side of the net stands Nadal. Probably the best player ever on clay.
We can only wait and see. And I for one will still support the Fed and wish that he will capture that elusive title one day. He's just too talented and too great of a player not to be doing so.
For now, congratulations to Nadal. Very well played.
AH-MAZING!!!!

Rafa totally outclassed the Fed on this one, so it really was a victory well deserved...
However wouldnt it have been nice to see Fed make tennis history and complete his grand slam conquests? Not this year I guess
Wimbledon's one to watch though, seeing that last year Fed very nearly lost his 'King of Grass' crown to Rafa!
Exciting. hehe :)
Yeah, got to hand it to Rafa. He really played well when it mattered most. That was the best that he ever played on clay.
As for Federer, that loss will be demoralising for him. But being a Fed fan, hope he does bounce back!
Federer's air of invincibility is diminishing especially this year. Many players now believe they can beat him. I guess that it does make for more exciting tennis!
Hope Federer can achieve these before he hangs up his racket: get that French Open title and surpass Sampras in the most Grand Slam titles won.
That would just be great for a class player who totally deserves it.
