Robin Soderling is a player that just took the tennis world by storm. This is the 3rd time I have posted about him in the last few days. But as miraculous as his run at Rolland Garros was, he was no match for potentially the greatest player of all time, Roger Federer.
It only took Roger Federer 3 sets to put him away too. If you want to see a summary of the final match, click here. I found a nice article in The Times that does a nice job summing up what this victory meant for Federer.
I wanted to break down a few of his stats a little further. In this article, it is mentioned that only 6 players have won all 4 grand-slams. They were Fred Perry, Don Budge, Rod Laver, Roy Emerson, Andre Agassi, and Roger Federer.

Congratulations, Roger, we've been waiting for you to win the French Open and tie Pete Sampras for years. So who is the greatest player of all time. . . Roger or Pete? And how about Roy Emerson and Bjorn Borg? This is another small article that discusses that issue.
