Nadal has chalked his name on Clay Court history by winning French Open title. He has outplayed Federer on Sunday, beating him 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 to win a fourth consecutive title at Roland Garros.
During the trophy ceremony following the most lopsided men’s final at the French Open since 1977, and at any Grand Slam since 1984, Nadal felt compelled to say: “Roger, I’m sorry.”
“He dominated from the first point until the end,” said Federer, who hadn’t lost a 6-0 set since 1999, and hadn’t won fewer than five games in a match since 2002. “It’s the strongest Rafa that I’ve ever seen. He was more dominant than the previous years.”
Sunday’s victory also makes Nadal:
— 28-0 for his career at the French Open;
— 115-2 on clay since April 2005;
— 22-1 in clay-court finals.
“I am humble,” Nadal said, “but the numbers are the numbers.”
His match statistics against Federer were stunning, the sort that make you want to go back and reread them.
Nadal held break points in 10 of Federer’s 11 service games, converting eight times. He won the point 24 of the 42 times Federer went to the net. He won 16 of the 24 points that lasted 10 or more strokes, according to an unofficial tally compiled by The Associated Press.
Most tellingly, Federer finished with 35 unforced errors, Nadal with seven. Yes, seven.
WITH ONLY SEVEN UNFORCED ERRORS…. NO DOUBT THAT RAFAEL NADAL IS TRULLY ‘CLAY COURT’ KING…
