Last Sunday, 31 May 2009, Nadal was beaten for the very first time at the French Open by 24 year old Swede Robin Söderling, in his 32nd game there. It was the first time he was beaten in a clay court five setter after winning the previous 48. Söderling is still on course to meet Federer in the final, provided both of them win their semi finals.
All of a sudden Federer, who in last year's final with Nadal won only four games, sees his chance to become the sixth player in history to win all four grand slam events. Joining Pete Sampras on 14th grand slams is entirely secondary at this point.
Allez Roger!

i hope he does it. But you have to feel for Nadal, he has patellar tendonitis same as Owen Hargreaves (and me!) and let me tell you, he will find nigh impossible to get back to his best. Federer's longevity may mean a bunch more majors for the great man.
Awwh no, did not know that about Nadal. It makes me to sad to think that one of the greatest rivalries ever maybe robbed of more giant showdowns.
