The French Conqueror...

What does it take for Roger Federer to win the French Open? Answer is very simple… he has to beat Rafael Nadal. Yes that’s pretty simple isn’t it? Its second time in a row that the French open final was played between these two superstar. End result the same... Rafael Nadal does it again!

Nadal by winning the French open for the third time in a row has created an historic record. Nadal is the second man in 93 years to win three consecutive singles titles at the French Open after Bjorn Borg won four in a row from 1978 to 1981. Looks like Nadal is on course to do the same or may be even more.

Just Look at this amazing stats… Nadal is undefeated in his career at the French, having won all 21 matches he has played en route to his three championships. Nadal holds the longest winning streak among male players on a single surface (Clay). Till date he has won a record 81 consecutive clay court matches… wow!! No doubt that the Spaniard is the “Undisputed King of Clay Court”.

Nadal is the World No. 2 in Tennis rankings and has remained in that spot for 98 weeks now that’s bcoz the world’s no.1 player has just dominated everyone else. Even in French open Federer has a good record but only thing is he always finishes second!! I being a Federer fan I would have liked him to win French open … but it looks like he going the Pete Sampras…John McEnroe way who never won this title. However Federer still has a long career and i am sure he will do it one day.

Now let me twist the question which i asked before.... what does it take for Rafael Nadal to become World No.1? Again answer is simple…he has to beat Roger Federer on other courts too…ha ha :)!! The Wimbledon is coming up…and it promises to be a great battle… Right now its celebration time for French conqueror!!
