After losing his French Open crown last year, Rafael Nadal reclaimed the title in 2010. And
particularly pleasing for the Spaniard was that, to win the final, he overcame the only man
to have defeated him on the Roland Garros clay in the last six years.
The match soon got to 2-2, both players holding their first two service games. But Nadal
made his move in the 5th game, breaking Soderling's serve to love to put himself in the box
seat to take the set. Although Soderling would hold his serve twice, he didn't look like
breaking back and the first set went Nadal's way.
The second started with Soderling holding his serve, but Nadal was placed under pressure
when Soderling held 3 break points at 0-40. But Nadal fought back, winning the next five
points to take the game, and then broke Soderling's next two service games to turn the
second set his way. And with the first two sets safely in the bag, Nadal had little trouble in
completing the match to claim the tournament.
For the second time in three years, Nadal won the French Open title without dropping a set.
Six appearances at Roland Garros have yielded five titles and only one solitary defeat, one
that has now been avenged in style. And for Nadal, the world number 1 ranking is back
within striking distance.
