French Open Final: Rafael Nadal Will Coast in Straight Sets

Novak Djokovic has taken control of the tennis world, but no one can beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open.

Nadal has already won the first semifinal and now awaits the winner of the the second match between Djokovic and Roger Federer.

Nadal's run at the tournament has been very impressive. In the last seven years, Nadal has only lost one match. While he has had success at other tournaments, winning each of the Grand Slam titles at least once, it is nothing compared to what he has done on the clay courts.

On this surface, the six-time champion does not need to be aggressive. He can stay well behind the line and wait for his opponent to make a mistake.

That strategy has allowed Nadal to dominant this year as well as he has in years past. In six matches, he has not lost a single set. Only twice was the opponent able to win more than three games in a set.

The semifinals should have provided stronger competition in fellow countryman David Ferrer. The No. 6 player in the world had a similarly impressive run, upsetting Andy Murray and only losing one set during his run to the semis.

However, Nadal once again proved that he is simply in a different class than his opponents.

In the finals, he will have to face one of two men, either Federer or Djokovic, both of whom have beaten him in Grand Slam finals.

Federer still has the skill and experience, but has lost a step and is not quite the same player he was a few years ago; he has not won a major title in over two years.

Djokovic will be the only one who can challenge Nadal's reign at the French Open. The top-ranked player in the world has won the last three Grand Slam titles, defeating the Spanish native in the finals of each one. Unfortunately, none of these matches were on clay.

Nadal defeated the Serbian the last two times they faced each other, and now they are on the surface on which Rafa is most comfortable playing.

Whether it's Djokovic or Federer who comes out of the second semifinal, he will only earn the right to lose in straight sets on Sunday.
