Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal completed his hat-trick of French Open titles with his 6:3, 4:6, 6:3, 6:4 victory over Roger Federer. Federer, the world’s number one tennis player, has won every Grand Slam title three times or more except this one at Roland Garros, which he has not yet won at all.
Rafael Nadal was both mentally and physically superior to Roger Federer right from the beginning of the match. Federer struggled with his forehand and first serve throughout the match and he only won one of the 17 break points he had against Nadal, leaving him as the inferior player who had missed many chances to gain the lead. Nadal is the deserved winner anyway as he was the more constant player of the both.
Justine Henin won the final match against Ana Ivanovich with a score of 6:1, 6:2. The match took only 65 minutes. This is Henin’s sixth Grand Slam title since she first won the French Open in 2003. Henin gets 1,000 points and $1,000,000 prize money for being this year’s French Open champion. Congratulations!
By the way, this is the third consecutive French Open she could win. The 23-year-old Justin Henin, the world number one in women tennis, is the first player to win three successive Roland Garros titles since Monica Seles in 1992.
