Well, I suppose even Superman had his kryptonite. Rafael Nadal has beaten Roger Federer once again in the French Open finals (6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4), extending his streak there to three and preventing Federer from completing the career Grand Slam.
As I wrote yesterday and at the beginning of the tournament, this final was an opportunity for Federer to establish himself as the greatest of all time. Instead, he was lackadaisical and seemed disinterested much of the match.
Federer had plenty of chances to take control in the match, but the silent Swiss converted only one of his 17 break chances. Nadal, meanwhile, put 77% of his first serves in and kept Federer on the defensive with his heavy topspin groundstrokes.
Quite frankly, the match was a huge disappointment.
Most enjoyable to me was looking for the ball boy who looked like a young Ben Stiller. A little more goofy looking, though, and with a huge wedgie every time I saw him.
Did anybody else notice this gomer?
