Finally!!! After...what...3 year of loss to Spain's Rafael Nadal, and 3 silver plates, well, he finally gets the French Open GrandSlam that puts him beside Pete Sampras.
Well, all thanks to priorly unknown, world number 23 Robin Soderling who beat Nadal at the eliminations. I was personally quite shocked at that match's result, yet very hopeful that this would open the chance for Federer to truly get the title. Well, it did.
Soderling is no ordinary match too. He does have powerful aces, and his match with Gonzales was really entertaining. I can now actually foresee Soderling as the next favorite. He really is quite good looking, and he reminds me of the host of the "Amazing Race". Anyway, he does seem to have a tight and flexible body, but no match for Monfils acrobatic abilities...lol.
It was indeed a tight match, and i was literally begging SOderling in my seat to just give this one to Federer, he didn't seem to want to, but he was no match to the Swiss' amazing skills. One highlight of the event was when a fan jumped out from the audience and tried to offer Federer a towel, and wiped his head with it. TOtally uncalled for, shocking...truly. Well, he was taken care of.
As the soderling-federer match ended, (1-6, 6- 7, 4-6), it was none other than tennis icon and legend Andre Agassi who awarded Federer with his much deserved French Open trophy.Well, finally Federer gets the trophy and not the silver trays...and he gets to kiss it now. For me, he truly is one of the greatest tennis players ever.
