FEDERER WINS MADRID OPEN


It was federer from the start of the final against Rafael Nadal. Nadal was struggling a bit with the odd bounces and it seems to be a very good for Roger Federer and everything went on well. Roger Federer stopped the winning streak of Rafael Nadal on 33 victories. It was a bit easy finish for Roger as he won the match in straight sets 6-4, 6-4 on the Madrid open. Nadal feels that he can come back strongly in Paris and the environment and altitude is so different and difficult for Nadal to beat Roger Federer. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal played 10 matches head to head on clay court but Roger wins only 2 so far and 8 of them won by Nadal. While in grass court Nadal won 1 match and 2 matches won by Federer. While in Hard court surface Nadal won 2 and roger won only 1.

NADAL, FEDERER, DJOKOVI IN ROME MASTERS QUARTER


Rafeal Nadal, top seeded in the world, won against Robin Soderling of Sweden. Nadal extends his winning streak in clay court to 27 matches on thursday. Nadal really played a hard tennis and could not be defeated by anybody. He is not making any mistakes and he is in full form right throughout this year. Soldering became frustrated enough to call the ATP supervisor, Mark Darby, onto the court early in the second set over a disputed call. Computer replays showed Soderling's shot was clearly out. Nadal in the mind set of breaking the past records and he has already made lot of records in his favourite court, clay court. Nadal will next face Verdasco, who eliminated Richard Gasquet of France 7-5, 6-4.


Federer won against the 16th seeded to enter his quarterfinals. Federer should need to win this tournament to win against Rafeal Nadal in the french open finals. Nadal will be the tight contender for Federer and he breakes his records of 14th grand slam. Nadal stopped him from wimbledon and he always won in french open. If a player like Nadal wasn't there then Roger Federer would have past Pete sampras in the number of Grand slams won.
Federer said conditions were a touch slower than when he played Stepanek last year, and he could read his opponent's serve better.


"I told myself I have to be very disciplined in my playing today, the way I play my tactical game against him and just the way I have to focus," Federer said. "Last year I got a little bit unsure about my own game and he played well, and then I was not 100 percent sure of what I wanted to do."

Djokovic also won against 13th-seededTommy Robredo 6-1, 6-1. This win made him to enter his quarterfinals.

WHO WILL FIGHT IN FRENCH OPEN FINALS

I dont have any doubt in Nadal reaching the final but I have doubt whether the opponent will be Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray or someone else. Most of the people are having some frame of mind that Roger have lost his form and he cannot compete with Nadal or Djokovic. But I feels that Roger is man born to win and he will do it. He needs this Grand slam to equal Pete Sampras. If he lost this it will make a big mess in his career. He has a son now and he needs to dedicate it to him.
