Federer’s or Big Brown’s?
Two sports milestones were set this weekend:
- The first Triple Crown contender to finish in last place in the Belmont.
- (Possibly) the most lop-sided final in French Open history. (6-1, 6-3, 6-0)
Sheesh.

FOR THE THIRD TIME in as many years, Roger Federer(er) and Rafael “Rafa” Nadal will meet in the finals of the French Open. The game will air live on NBC at 9 a.m. EST on Sunday.
Smart money is on Nadal to extend his 40-0 win streak at Roland Garros. He lost only 24 games en route this year’s final, the fewest in Grand Slam history. (For those who don’t know, the Grand Slam consists of the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.)
It’s a long shot, but I’m rooting for the Swiss dandy (Federer), who has perhaps the most awesomest backhand ever. However, it would will be nice to see Nadal make history and become only the second player to win four straight French Opens. (Swede Bjorn Borg, underwear magnate, currently holds exclusive claim to that statistic.)
Bonus: Here’s a funny picture of a streaker at the French Open.
