On Saturday we saw the same Rafael Nadal we've seen throughout the French Open -- a man who refuses to lose a single set. Nadal topped Roger Soderling, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4, to win his fifth French Open championship.
Nadal's record at the French Open now stands at an incredible 28-1. His lone loss came last year against Soderling.
From NBC Sports:
It was the first time at the French Open where Nadal didn't have to beat Roger Federer in either the semifinals or the finals to earn the title; Soderling knocked out the defending champion in the quarterfinals.
The power game that had propelled Soderling to the championship didn't pose the same trouble for Nadal, and Soderling's serve wasn't as lethal as it had been in previous rounds either.
This is Nadal's seventh career Grand Slam win. He's still only 24 years old.
