The best claycourt player just beat the best tennis player in the world today. Nadal shrugged off a poor first set performance to beat Federer for the fourth straight time this year 1-6, 6-1, 6-4, 7-6. Federer is 44-0 against everyone except for Nadal, who is 4-0 against him. Nadal now extends his incredible claycourt winning streak to 60, and is the youngest player to win 2 consecutive French Open titles since 1975.
In the women's final, Henin also proved she's the best female claycourt player right now, beating Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-4, 6-4 to win her third Roland Garros crown in four years. She became the first woman to win 2 straight French Open titles since Steffi Graf in 1995-96.
