This was the most lop sided grand-slam final I have ever seen since the US Open 2004 Finals in which Federer himself beat Hewitt 6-0, 7-6, 6-0. Sadly this time, Federer was in the receiving end as he got trounced by Nadal in under two hours with the former winning just four games. Loote bro, I have also begun to think that Federer's window of completing a career GrandSlam has closed unless ofcourse Nadal becomes injury ridden before the tournament in Paris next year.

However though, it's undeniable that Roger Federer has been the 2nd best player in clay court over the last three years, only behind Rafael Nadal. (A maestro who can establish himself or is already the best ever to play in clay). This guy Nadal has just been so good this year at Roland Garros and I was hysterically laughing towards the end of the match when the commentator satired,"If Nadal '07 were to play Nadal '08 in the French Open Finals.....maybe Nadal '07 would have won a set"......hahahaha

I would not be surprised if Nadal beats Federer to take the Wimbledon this year. But for that to happen Nadal(2nd seed) has to get himself through to the finals by beating Serbian Djokovic (3rd seed), which might actually be a tougher task.
