Nadal storms in French Open finals

Rafael Nadal stormed into the final of French Open Tennis Tournament with a commanding straight sets victory over surprise semi-finalist Jurgen Melzer in Paris on Friday. The Spaniard produced another near-faultless display on his favourite stage to beat the Austrian 22nd seed 6-2, 6-3, 7-6. Nadal will clash with Sweden's Robin Soderling in the final on Sunday. Sisters Serena and Venus completed a 'Williams slam' of four consecutive grand slam doubles titles when they beat Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik 6-2, 6-3 yesterday to win the French Open. The Americans wrapped up victory in 73 minutes to win their 12th grand slam title together, adding the trophy to the ones they won at Wimbledon and the US Open last year and at the Australian Open in January. The top seeds are only the third doubles partnership in the history of the women's game to hold all four grand slam titles at the same time.
