Roger Federer finally won the one prize in tennis that has eluded him for much too long—the French Open. The Swiss master won in straight sets on Sunday in Paris 6—1, 7—6, 6—4 over Sweden’s Robin Soderling.
After having beaten Sweden’s Robin Soderling 6—1, 6—0 at the Rome Masters a couple of weeks ago, Spain’s Rafael Nadal was not expected to have much trouble getting into the French Open quarterfinals on Sunday.
