Another Federer-Nadal battle likely

There are now 4 men left in the French Open, surprisingly the top 4 seeds. This is even rarer at the French than it would be in one of other Grand Slams because of the clay. Seeing how well Federer has played on this surface is one more reason I think he's the greatest player in recent memory. Sampras was notoriously bad on clay, especially at Roland Garros. It is an amazing thing to be able to watch tennis at this point in time when Federer and Nadal have such a great rivalry. Nadal, even in his young age, is widely considered to be a better clay court player than even Borg. Both Federer and Nadal dominate every competitor thoroughly, with the only exception being each other. It looks very likely that they'll face off again in the final on Sunday, and I for one do not want to miss it.
