Nadal Captures French Open Title
While Roger Federer tried to surge his mastery of the game of tennis in the French Open final, it was Rafael Nadal who showed a superb performance to win three consecutive titles.
He is successful to anyone else but Federer once more succumbed to Nadal at Roland Garros, one win short of a French Open title, one win short of a fourth consecutive major championship, one win short of a career Grand Slam.
Instead, it was Nadal who made a bit of history Sunday, showing true resolve on the biggest points to beat Federer 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 and become only the second man since 1914 to win three consecutive French Open titles.
