Rafael Nadal versus Roger Federer is a fixture that has come to define tennis in the last 20 years or so, and the pinnacle of this rivalry came in the 2008 French Open final.
Facing his arch-rival in the final match, Nadal turned in a performance for the ages, dismantling the world No. 1 with a 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 victory 바카라 the most lopsided French Open men바카라s final since 1977.
Federer, appearing in his third consecutive Roland Garros final, looked helpless against Nadal바카라s topspin and court coverage, and the Spaniard went on to win the tournament without dropping a single set and losing only 41 games across seven matches.
3. Jim Courier바카라s Comeback Vs Andre Agassi In 1991
The 1991 French Open final match between Andre Agassi and Jim Courier is an event that shaped the future of Roland Garros as well as tennis itself. Courier, a 20-year-old up-and-comer ranked No. 26 in the world, faced No. 4 Agassi in a routine fixture.
