[[Switzerland|Swiss]] tennis player [[w:Roger Federer|Roger Federer]] won his first Roland Garros championship on sunday by defeating [[w:Robin Söderling|Robin Söderling]] from Sweden 6-1 7-6(1) 6-4 in Paris. By winning the tournament, Federer joins [[w:Pete Sampras|Pete Sampras]] with 14 Grand Slam tournament won and [[w:Andre Agassi|Andre Agassi]], being the second men in the Open Era (since 1968) to clinch all four major tournaments. In the last four years, [[w:Rafael Nadal|Rafael Nadal]] has barred Federer from winning the only Grand Slam title that lacked from his collection.
The match occurred under bad weather conditions with light rain and great wind during the first two sets, a situation which became worse during the third. Uneasy and visibly nervous, Söderling lost the first set in just 23 minutes. In the second, he began to play better tennis and at 2-1, after the irruption of a man on court, Federer seemed to loose power. He finaly clinched the tie-break 7-1 by shooting 4 aces. The third set was won 6-4 by Federer who fell to the ground, sobbing.
After the match, Söderling told that Federer was the "greatest player of all times" and that he gave him "a lesson of tennis".
In the 2009 ATP Ranking, Federer moves closer to Nadal after he lost to Söderling in the 4th round. Before the tournament, Nadal had 4500 points in advance. Since monday, he has 2070 points in advance. The next Grand Slam tournament is Winbledon in London and begins on June 22, 2009.
