The stage is well set for Roger Federer to ascend to the zenith of men’s tennis. If he wins today’s final he will equal Pete Sampras’ record of the most men's singles grand slam titles. He will also become only the sixth man in the history of the game to win all the four majors. The only man who had stood in between his lips and the crown for the last 3 years is not in the picture this time around. It's never easy-pickings in a grand slam final but this man seems to be in a class of his own. Such high are the standards set by himself, that even reaching the French open finals in four consecutive years appears modest or just average. However many tennis fans would really miss the grueling , yet exotic Federer-Nadal tussle that they got used to in the grand slam finals of recent times. The Swiss master has been haunted by the Spanish nightmare for more than enough now, and it seems all he had lacked was this small bit of luck.
Tail piece: The other finalist is Robin Soderling…. Robin who?

Federer has won the first set, 6-1. But Soderling is not a stranger to giant killing, having ousted Nadal, the acknowledged claymaster of tennis, a few days ago. Hope Federer will go on to win. But I hope Soderling will give a tough fight
And Federer has won the French Open. An easy win. 6-1, 7-6, 6-4. Soderling played just like a virtual unknown.
With this win i hope there will be no doubts from now on where Federer stands in tennis history.
Federer is the best :)

The men's singles final was briefly interrupted as a spectator carrying a FC Barcelona banner ran onto the court during the second set, running around Roger Federer and even putting a cap on him, then jumping over the net before being taken out by security.
