It was a predictive win for Rafael Nadal (Spain) on last night's French Open Men's Championship, effortlessly beating Roger Federrer (Switzerland)6-1, 6-3, 6-0.
Overall, the game was somehow boring because of its predictive twists and turns. There's no doubt Rafael Nadal was a great tennis player. He's hailed as the King of Clay, grabbing the French Open Title for four consecutive years since 2005. What can I say? At 22, he's already a monster in clay devouring Federrer with his two-handed backhand strikes.
It's my first time to see Roger Federrer play on a national TV. As expected, he had this unsatisfied urge to nail his opponent. Unluckily, it didn't happen. As a matter of fact, the way he handled the game was disappointing. Set 1 was just below average for him. Although lost, he was resurrected from nothingness during the second set. Set 3 was blankly miserable. All in all, it was not the match I've expected from a World Seed Number One.
During the awarding ceremony, "Oui, c'est moi" |Yes, it's me| Federrer blurted out for the first time reassuring the people and his millions of fans worldwide that he was not impersonated by his incompetent devil twin. (source:sports.espn.go.com/sports/)
