So much for this, huh?

Roger Federer will go down as the best to ever play, but if he's ever going to win a French Open he'll need Rafael Nadal to 1) trip on his capri's or 2) pick up a new hobby. Because Nadal doesn't lose at Roland Garros. Ever, apparently. Now 21-0 on the clay in Paris.

Speaking of best ever, at 21 years old, Nadal is making a good run at the best on clay. He's also making quite a run at being one of the bigger douchebags to ever play. That could be an entirely different post, but does anyone else feel this way?

Meanwhile, Federer will now resume domination of the sport and win next month at Wimbledon for his 12th grand slam. Pete Sampras could never win at Roland Garros, either, so I suppose this can be forgiven. We didn't need to see him win on clay to call him the greatest. Then again, he's American and sadly we treat that differently.

Biggest douchebag to ever play? I don't think so. People just love him or hate him. Personally I don't see any reasons to hate him, I think he is humble, he tries his hardest, and he is very talented. What more could you ask for.

I think Nadal will be winning the French long after Federer is done winning all the other titles. Some people say Nadal's style of play will end his career early, I think he is smart and determined enough to figure out another way. I don't think Nadal will lose at the French anytime soon, but neither will Federer relinquish the 1 spot for a long time.

0	I love the fact that Nadal is able to be such a hard foe for Federer to defeat on clay. The media is constantly trying to make Roddick the big rival for Federer and that is just not the case right now. Even when he loses to Federer on other surfaces Nadal gives Federer all he wants in the match, lately Roddick just gets his lunch handed to him by Roger.
