He did not even threaten Nadal in the French Final
At the French, Federer won the 1st set 6-0. Sure he didnt threaten but he did give Nadal a run at least making him play 4 sets. You act like he got beat in straight sets 6-1 6-2 6-1 or something like that. I disagree totally that Nadal needs to be injured for Federer to have a shot against him on clay in the French. Hes improving every year on clay. Nadal will eventually lose on clay and theres no reason the most complete player we've ever seen cant dethrone him.
One thing Federer seldom gets credit for is his amazing serve. Hes got teriffic speed and angles on both 1st and 2nd. The reason nobody talks about it is because the other parts of his game our so dominating, unlike a guy like Roddick who only really has a huge serve, little else.
