Default TENNIS: Federer ends Nadal\'s 81-match clay court win streak

Anybody else watch this match? Federer played absolutely brilliant in the last two sets, easily the best he's ever played against Nadal who totally went away and had no real answers. And this is the last tourney before the French so one might say Federer has the momentum.

I think one of the big keys to this match was Federer not allowing Nadal to just spin shots back in all day long. In the last two, Federer took many shots early and pretty much dictated every game, moving Nadal all over the court and taking his loopers early. Nadal started struggling with his first serve and Federer pounced on the second serves. I think it'll be a very interesting French Open and will probably be Nadal v Federer or some unknown Argentine in the finals.
