![]() Roger Federer's bid to complete a career Grand Slam was foiled again Sunday by nemesis Rafael Nadal at the French Open. Nadal earned his third consecutive Roland Garros title, beating Federer 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in a final in which the Spaniard lost serve only once. For the third consecutive year in Paris, the top-ranked Federer sought to become the sixth man to win all four Grand Slam events. Nadal beat him in the semifinals in 2005 and in the final last year. The latest loss also spoiled Federer's bid to win a fourth consecutive major title, something last done by Rod Laver in 1969. With a sequence of brilliant shots, Federer won many of the highlight-reel rallies, but squandered chances doomed him. He failed to convert his first 11 break-point chances, putting pressure on his own serve by repeatedly allowing Nadal to hold. Nadal saved 16 break points and broke serve four times in 10 chances. He had only 27 unforced errors to 59 for Federer. Well well ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jun 10, 2007 4:44:20 PM] |

Although Federer is my absolute favorite, Nadal is king of the hill on gravel

Nadal is king of the hill on gravel If ever he accepts to play on such a strange court maybe we will know. It seems that he much prefers playing on clay. And if you mean Roland Garros' clay looks like gravel you will make the court techs very sad. They are very proud of it. Cheers. Jean. |
