Détruit

6-1. 6-3. 6-0. When it was all said and done, Roger Federer found himself in a familiar spot--playing second fiddle to 4-time French Open champion, Rafael Nadal. Not only did Roger have to suffer through another defeat at Roland Garros, but his lose was so lopsided, Nadal apologized to his rival.



One of the reasons my interest for tennis grew was becuase of this rivarly. Their passion for the game is extraordinary and they are without a doubt, the two best players in the world. On has to wonder if Roger gets his revenge on grass at Wimbledon, or does he get détruit again in jolly old England by the Nadal juggernaut?

Update:

In case you didn't know, Rafa walked away with a cool 1M Euros after his French Open victory. For those of us in the states, that a cool 1.56M clams. It's amazing how weak the greenback is these days.
