ROGER WINS THE FRENCH!!!!

After a strange start to the French Open final,with a scary fan prancing around the court, Roger Federer swept through a clean match in straight sets beating Robin Soderling of Sweden. Soderling was the surprise finalist who left everyone in awe and anxiety after upsetting Rafael Nadal , the reigning champion of Roland Garros. Federer has now completed a career slam, being only one of six in history to have done so. He also (as you may have hear) equaled Pete Sampras's record of 14 grand slams. This victory seemed to be an extremely emotional one for Federer, who began to show nerves in the last two games of the third set. This victory also brought back the questions about Federer being the GOAT; questions that Federer diverted by saying "maybe we'll never know." Federer bowed out of his usual warm up grass tournament in Halle, Germany to recuperate in time for Wimbledon.
