Roger Federer is been a "king" of Tennis for a number of years now, a fact that did not trouble Rafael Nadal when he crushed teh Champion in the finals of thisĀ  years French open.

"I did not expect a match like this," said the Spaniard. "I think I played an almost perfect match.

"Roger played more mistakes than usual and I played more inside the court."

"I play more inside the court, not just two metres behind the baseline," said Nadal.

"I improved my slice, I change more directions. I hit more flat shots, especially with the backhand.

"I improved a little bit since last year. I have more control of the points, I am more aggressive than usual."

The next battle field in men single Tennis is Wimbledon, where Federer will be looking at improving his odds
