Federer's reaction to Nadal's defeat

Did Nadal's defeat relieve you?
ROGER FEDERER: »"He hasn't retired as far as I know (laughs). I'm sure he'll bounce back. It was a shock, of course. It's also whetted the appetite of the other players. It must be on a lot of people's minds right now. In a way, the dream scenario for me would have been to beat 'Rafa' in the final. His defeat makes me the favorite. But I have to focus on my upcoming matches first."‘

 

Final Sunday June 7th Superb victory for Roger 6-1 7-6 6-4

Against the surprising Swede Robin Soderling (23), who defeated Nadal, Ferrer, Davidenko and Gonzales

Roger will have the chance to win his 14th Grand Slam title and equal Pete Sampras' record.

The fourth time was the charm! By defeating a very nervous Robin Soderling 6-1, 7-6, 6-4, Roger Federer won his first title at Roland Garros. He joins Pete Sampras in the annals of tennis history with his 14th Grand Slam title.

Semi-final: Federer wins in 5 sets 3h28′

Stunning

At one point, when Del Potro was leading 1-2 at the start of the 4th set, I feared the worst for Roger, who managed to raise his game and in the last set took advantage of the young Argentinian's drop in form.

Match against Argentinian Juan Martin Del Potro (1m98) for a place in the final.
