Federer Still Number 1

Rafael Nadal took his second French Open title beating the number one ranked player in the world Roger Federer. Federer kept and increased his number 1 world ranking despite the loss to Nadal. Of the last seven times the two have faced Nadal has come out victorious six.

After dropping the first set Nadal powered his way through the next three taking the match and the title from the tennis great. The reasoning behind Federer’s increasing the lead in the world’s rankings is said to be due to his better finish at the French Open this year compared to last year.

Great Job Nadal and keep plugging away at that top spot, with play like this weekend you’ll move beyond Federer’s shadow soon enough.
