Roger wins French Open!

07.06.2009 | Tennis

Roger beats Robin Söderling and wins the French Open! This title is Roger's 14th Grand Slam title! With this incredible win our champ levels Pete Sampras' record and is one of the six players who completed a sweep of the Majors!

 

Roger produced a near-faultless play and wrapped up a 6-1 7-6 (7-1) 6-4 victory in one hour and 55 minutes.

Roger backed that up with a majestic service game, which he held to love with one booming ace and the most delightful backhand.

After confidently winning the first set, Roger opened the second set with a double-fault but normal service was quickly resumed and an ace down the 'T' helped him take game one with little reason for concern.

At 4-3 up, Roger cranked up the pressure!

Söderling twice kept his composure when serving to stay in the set but Roger was in a class of his own during the tie-break serving four aces and gaining the first of three mini-breaks at 1-1.

The third set was decided in game three when Söderling double-faulted to gift Roger a break in game one.

Roger!

You played an incredible tournament, including wins against big name players like Haas, Monfils, and the surprisingly strong Del Potro. Great job, can't wait for Wimbledon!

You're gaining recognition in the battle for the greatest tennis p

YES YES YES
I can not tell you how happy I am for you Roger! If someone deserved that title that was you!
I was so nervous during the whole tournament. It hasn't been easy but that makes this victory even sweeter (if something like that is possible).

There's NO ONE they can put ahead of you as better. You've tied Pete but you did it in almost 1/2 the # years too. No one has been as dominant and on so many different surfaces, so consistently.

P.S. You're so brave & awesome at the net and with yo

Dear Fed Fans,

There are some smart people who say Roger cannot be called the great because he is not able to beat Nadal in GS final. The touble is, in actual fact Nadal does not get to the finas that often. He was never in the finals in US where Roger
