A Mournful Loss

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer battled it out today for the final of the French Open. I am a fan of Federer; he is such a pretty tennis player and makes every shot look easy. Nadal is also a pretty tennis player and has dominated on clay for a while. He beat Federer last year in the French and followed it up this year beating Federer in four sets. Norbert and I argue at work whether or not Federer is still going to be at the top. I say he is, it is just the French that he can’t win and Norbert claims that he is too old to stay at the top for much longer. There was another let down this year in the French, Andy Roddick lost in the first round. The French is generally a funny tournament because it is played on clay and the top players can go without winning the French at all. Still, I think he could have done better than the first round. It seems like he is turning into the poster boy of tennis, much like Anna Kournikova.
