Federer slips on clay once again...

The reign of Rafael Nadal on clay continues as he produced a flawless exibition of clay court tennis to demolish the World Number 1 Roger Federer and win his fourth successive French Open title. The spaniard was at his relentless best to equal Bjorn Borg's feat of four consecutive titles at Roland Garros. Federer chasing the only grand slam title to elude him was clearly not at his best. Intending to attack Nadal he came near the net, but he was let down by the drop shot. He showed glimpses of his class in the second set but that was not enough for Rafa - the king of the clay.

Federer now as few days to take his mind of this debacle and regroup his energies for the Wimbeldon starting on June 23.
