Men’s French Open Winners

Roger Federer may be the dominant men’s tennis player of his time, and now the folks in Paris can attest to it. Federer won his record-tying 14th Grand Slam title 6-1 7-6 (1) 6-4 win over No. 23 seed Robin Soderling of Sweden.

It was Federer’s first-ever title on the clay courts of Roland Garros, making him only the sixth man to win all four of tennis’ major titles.
