Nadal wins #6

The French Open concluded on Sunday morning with the men's final, another showdown between Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal. This was the eighth time those two had met in the final of a major, more than any other pair. This was also the fourth time they'd met in the final at Roland Garros, and the result this year was no different than the previous three times - Nadal won. I did not get to watch much of the match since I was on the road, so I don't have many comments other than that the first three sets were all close. Unfortunately I also missed the Djokovic-Federer semifinal on Friday because I was at work. The streak finally came to an end, and it was somewhat fitting that it took the best player ever to stop it. I was really looking forward to a Djokovic-Nadal final, but things just didn't work out that way. Wimbledon is coming up soon, and it will be interesting to see if Djokovic can maintain his game on grass. Federer and Nadal have already proven themselves.
