PARIS: Rafael Nadal produced a flawless exhibition of claycourt tennis to demolish world No 1 Roger Federer 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 yesterday and win his fourth straight French Open title.
The Spaniard was at his relentless best as he tore Federer apart in one hour 48 minutes to deny the Swiss a career grand slam. He equaled Bjorn Borg's feat of four consecutive titles at Roland Garros.
"I played a perfect match," said Nadal, who was presented with the trophy by Borg.
