Today thousands of people witnessed the Tennis legend Roger Federer shed tears of joy over his first French Open Grand Slam win ever.
The world tennis number two was on a quest to level up with Pete Sampras' record of fourteen Grand Slam titles, and thank God his dream just came true.
Federer had never been successful at the French till today, and he did it in style...
The three straight set defeat was handed to Robin Soderling, the man who sent the world number one, Raphael Nadal packing in the fourth round of the tournament. That was ofcourse an absolute shock not only to everyone who has seen Nadal in action on clay, but to the world number one himself.
The Feds Express definitely deserved the big win. He really worked hard for it. It must have sucked losing three consecutive finals to Rafa. I guess no more sleepless nights for the Swiss from now on...he finally achieved the Slam he's always craved for.
Everybody who watched the match couldn't help but smile when the teary Feds got his most wanted trophy. But this time round, his tears were of joy.
Svetlana Kuznetsova, the world number seven defeated fellow Russian, Dinara Safina in the ladies final, to get her maiden French Open Grand Slam title. I must say the match was rather boring for it only took Kuznetsova less than two hours to put the stubborn Safina in her place.
It was an incredible fourteen days of great tennis.
See you all at Wimbledon in three weeks!
