Roger Federer did it he won his first French Open title last sunday. This win has officially made him the best tennis player ever. He has tied Pete Sampras record of 14 Grand Slam titles but unlike pete he has won the french the only major that eluded him for so long.
In the final Roger beat a surprise opponet Robert Soderling this was the same guy who dismantled Rafael Nadal in the 3rd round, so people were expectin a highly contested final but unfortunatley it didnt happend. Soderling crumbled under pressure and did play his game. He was playing way to defensive and not blasting his forehand. Which ulitmatley led to score of 6-1, 7-6(1), 6-4.
When asked during his press confrence where does he rank this trophy among his other slams he said,"It's maybe my greatest victory," said the tennis ace, who's soon to become a dad for the first time with wife Mirka. "I think that now and until the end of my career, I can really play with my mind at peace, and no longer hear that I've never won Roland Garros."
Well now that the clay season is over you can expect Federer to dominate the grass for the pass 6 years he has made it to the final, and has won 6 of those appearances. Im sure fans will love to see another rematch of between Nadal and Federer an epic matxh that was tagged the all time best tennis match ever. Hopefully Nadal ca recoer from his devasting lost here at the french and rebound in time for the grass.
