Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal, 2008
Trending
Nadal, in the middle of a 5-year domination of the clay courts at Roland Garros, was up in the final against archrival Roger Federer, who was the tournament top seed. The Spaniard had enjoyed a stellar run into the finals, having beaten each of his opponents in straight sets.
Federer, meanwhile, had dropped sets against some unlikely opponents, and although he had not suffered any particularly bad losses, did not seem to be in his best possible form.
Coming into this final as the three-time running reigning champion, Nadal handed Federer a thorough pasting, winning the match 6-1, 6-3, 6-0.
He dropped only four games en route to that victory.
