The only undoubted 'King of Clay' proved himself

Rafael Nadal defeated Roger Federer in the French Open final for the third year running on Sunday and joined Swedish legend Bjorn Borg as the only man to win four straight titles at Roland Garros.

The Spaniard made a stunning 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 success over the world No.1, taking the last nine games of the match, in harsh compare to the two four-set battles he edged to see off Federer in the two previous finals.

Federer was powerless to stop the stream of heavy top spin fired at him as he was drooping to a demoralizing hitting. Nadal has now won all 28 matches he has played at Roland Garros and having just turned 22, he is well on his way to replacing Borg as the greatest claycourt player of all time.
