Federer to Square off with Nadal, History

The matchup the tennis world has waited for is finally here, and I'll be getting up at 6:00 a.m. Sunday to wtiness it.

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are set to square off in the finals of the French Open, the only Grand Slam tournament Federer has never won.

Federer has made a career out of making other players look bad, and it wasn't until Nadal arrived on the scene that Federer even looked human.

Nadal is a phenomenal athlete and a gutsy competitor, and he seems to be the only person in the world with the recipe for how to beat Roger Federer.

Federer has established himself, without a doubt, as one of the greatest of all time. He can make a case for his career as the greatest Sunday.

I will be rooting for the serene Swiss to complete the career Grand Slam tomorrow, but I'm afraid the edge in this matchup on this surface belongs to Nadal.
