Title: Roland Garros 2009 Final: Roger Federer VS Robin Soderling

This is a very intense match for both players.

Federer will be going for his 14th Grand Slam for the chance to stake a claim to being the greatest tennis player ever. It will not only give Federer a record-equaling 14th grand slam crown, putting him level with Pete Sampras but an oppurtunity to join Don Budge, Fred Perry, Roy Emerson, Rod Laver and Agassi as the men who have won all four majors.

Soderling on the other hand will be going for his first Grand Slam. Soderling is playing extremely well and he's definitely not the same Soderling that Federer has played in his previous matches. He pulled off the biggest upset of the French Open history. It wasn't luck that he managed to take out some the best clay courters of our time (like Nadal, Ferrer, Davidenko or González) in this tournanment. He's clearly a dangerous player and a genuine threat to Federer purely because he clearly is.

The player who plays with more conviction, dare to go for his shots with high consistency but not over-bashing the ball, with controlled aggression will win the final.

I have my money on Fed and I would like to see him holding the trophy on the Sunday afternoon.

Allez Roger!

Who knew 4 months ago, when Roger was crying on the AO podium and some were ridiculing his tears and said he'd never recover from this, and they said RN looked unstoppable and able to do the Calendar Slam... Who knew that we'd be here today, seeing Roger triumphant at the FO, (having beaten RN on clay and showing Soderling of all people how to do it at RG!), WHO KNEW!

Fortune rewards those who persevere!
Roger has always said the best he could do was to put himself in the position, and he kept doing so year after year, and taking the hits and getting back up, and now he put himself in the position again, when the "king of clay" failed, and was the last left standing in a tournament where upsets and surprises were happening left and right. He showed everyone just how un-frigging-believably consistent he is.
He won woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

HAHA oh your funny,
Soderling beat Nadal....so does that mean Soderling was lucky to make the final aswell?

And yes, the score line was very one sided, but what would you expect when Soderling is in his first grand slam final, against arguably the greatest player in history.
