A Sea Of Red

No one else here probably cares, but the final in the French this morning is Roger Federer from Switzerland v. Robin Soderling from Sweden. Nadal got sent home in a surprising lost in the first week

Also, Kuznetsova won the women's final against Dinara Safina.

Where does this Federer win now rank him in the all-time best men's tennis players? He now has the career-grand slam and is tied with Sampras for most major titles.

If the win had come over Nadal it would have meant significantly more....instead he beat what the #23 best player in the world.....thats a day in the park for him.

Ask Nadal about that walk in the park. I hate when people diminish an accomplishment because the so-called 'favorite' got beat in an early round (people do that a lot in the NCAA tourney too)...it's not Federer's fault that Nadal wasn't able to get the job done.
