Roger Federer defeated Rafael Nadal in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, in today's final of the Masters 1000 event in Madrid, thereby winning his first title since his hometown tournament in Basel, Switzerland last October and beating Nadal on clay for just the second time. Granted, Nadal was almost certainly not in top gear, having won his last three tournaments and barely surviving a draining four-hour contest against Novak Djokovic in yesterday's semifinal. Still, a win is a win, especially against Nadal, on clay and in Spain. I'm sure I'm not the only one hoping this is a sign of the level of play we can expect at Roland Garros at the end of the month.
Some great highlights from today's final:
