Nadal as Favorite Claimed Fifth French Open Title

The tennis star Rafael Nadal while a favorite claimed his fifth French Open title on a Sunday at Roland Garros. This tennis star just proved himself worthy of everyone’s attention, he beaten Swede Robin Soderling.

Nadal was actually reported to be a 2/9 favorite to actually win the event with the popular Bet365. However, some said that for the tennis player to win the event, the player must be over first with psychological troubles he earned after not making it against Soderling in the fourth round last year which became actually his first unsuccessful try in the French Open. While Soderling was reported to have earned the odds of 10/3 for the second time he’ll beat Nadal.

But the tennis star indeed proved himself worthy to be the favorite as he defeated Soderling and won the 2010 French Open. While it seemed then Soderling accepted the defeat. The player also done a great job, Nadal felt challenged to win.

“Well, it was hard all the time,” said Nadal. “Well, not at the beginning. It was rather easy at the beginning, even for him. I think that, yes, it was a difficult match, especially from a mental standpoint. I had to return well, and I had the feeling that I was not capable of playing the way I wanted because he was so powerful. I had to be very careful on the serve because I could make mistakes, and this is what I did.”

Nadal felt so relieved with being able to make it against Soderling.

“At the beginning I lost my serve, and then I managed to win his serve and not to allow him to break me,” said Nadal. “When I really needed to play my best tennis, I had the opportunity of doing that. So I’m very happy I played this match in three sets, because it was very difficult.”
