In the French Open tennis today, four-time champion Rafael Nadal will be facing Swedish fifth seed Robin Soderling in the Men's Singles final. In the semi-final on Fiday, Spanish second seed Nadal outclassed 22nd seeded Austrian Jurgen Melzer in straight sets 6-2, 6-3, 7-6, to maintain his record of not having dropped a set in this tournament. In the other semi-final, Soderling defeated 15th seeded Tomas Berdych of Czech Republic in five sets 6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3. Nadal's four-year domination of Roland Garros was ended by Soderling in the fourth round last year. The Swede has built on that shock defeat of Nadal last year and is now a genuine contender for grand slam titles. A Victory today would make Nadal only the second man after Bjorn Borg to win five or more French Opens and would also mean he reclaims the world number one ranking from Federer.
