French Open - Federer vs Nadal...
 

Brewing the coffee, because the French Open Men's Finals starts broadcasting live here in California at 6am...

Nadal is going for his 4th consecutive title on the clay of Roland Garros, while Federer (Ranked #1 in the world) tries once again to win the only Grand Slam title that has eluded him.

Nadal is playing great tennis, he hasn't lost a set yet at the French Open this year - in fact he has never lost a match in the French Open.

A classic match-up:

I think this is Nadal's tournament, although I would like to see Federer win...

nadal has always had federer's number if i remember correctly. i think he'll take it home.

not always...only on clay. federer has beaten nadal many more times, but he just can't beat him on clay.

nadal kicked some serious ass in the first set

see if he can keep it up

Nadal has a 10-8 advantage in lifetime head-to-head marches (8-1 on clay), but Roger is up 5-2 on surfaces other than clay.

Nadal crushed Federer in the first set, 6-1 (with three breaks)...

yeah Nadal is kicking his ass...

Nadal in straight sets

he put the hammer down on federer.

Most entertaining thing on TV period. Those guys are like supermen.:thumbsup

I will have to catch the recap later on.

Federer didn't look so super today. That was the most lackluster performance I have ever seen him put on. By the second break in the first set, he looked thoroughly defeated.

After showing a little more heart to start the third set, the flicker of hope was extinguished once and for all as Rafa stepped up his game. After that, the rout was on.

Hopefully we'll see the same match-up, but a better match, in the Wimbeldon Finals.

Congrats to the King of Clay, Rafael Nadal... :thumbsup

Nadal is the best clay court player ever. He dominated one of the best, if not the best tennis player of all time.

Both are very strong, congrats to Nadal for beating the "cyborg" Federer :)

Nadal is king of the clay court
