Nadal Gains Advantage in French Open Final
June 8, 2008 by CLDsport
The men’s singles final is in full swing at Roland Garros, Paris, between the two best players in the world - Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal.
With the match half way through the second set, it’s Nadal who has taken the early advantage, after winning the first set 6-1 - an astonishingly one-sided set, and unexpected.
As I write, Nadal has now just won the second set 6-3, and surely there is no comeback for Federer now. The Swiss number 1 looks dejected and out of sorts - although partly down to the fact Nadal looks unstoppable. As things stand I can only see this match finishing one way, it’s now a matter of pride for Federer - and avoiding a whitewash.

Almost unbelievably Nadal won the 3rd set 6-0 to win the French Open in style. I’m sure Jeremy (our writer who was lucky enough to be in Paris for the tournament) will be writing an article on the subject soon……..
